Good morning


Oh it's another wet and nasty day here in Norfolk :-(  We are going away to Oxford for a few days for the May bank holiday so fingers crossed the weather starts to improve soon. 

It's my final GDT card for The Stamp Basket.  The last 4 weeks have flown by and I can hardly believe it's my last time to post on The Stamp Basket blog.  I would like to say a big thank you to Janet for giving me the opportunity to design for her  ... I have loved every minute of it :-)


My card today features an adorable Bildmalarna image and gorgeous Prima 'Sun Kiss' papers.

The Stamp Basket GDT card ~ Sophia Wishes

Good morning

Hope you are all well and had a lovely Easter weekend.  It's my turn to post a card on The Stamp Basket blog and I have used the adorable Sophia Wishes.  On checking The Stamp Basket blog on Monday I noticed that Marianne had also used this image on her card ... great minds think alike eh! You can see Marianne's beautiful vintage style card here and even though we have used the same image our cards are so different.

The Stamp Basket GDT card

Good morning

Today is my first time to post as GDT for The Stamp Basket.  Janet sent me a parcel which was bursting at the seams with gorgeous products and I am really looking forward to using them on my cards over the coming weeks.


Before I tell you about my card I would just like to remind you about The Stamp Basket's Easter Sale ... It finishes tomorrow at 9 am so you need to be quick if you want to grab yourself a bargain! 


Moving onto my card, I couldn't decide what to use first and was umming and ahhing but eventually opted to use this beautiful Annabelle's Meadow panel and teamed it up with some equally beautiful Prima 'Meadowlark' papers.

I scheduled this post last night because I am going out with Chloe and Jamie today.  Not sure where we are going yet but it will involve shopping as they both have some money to spend from my Mum and Nan and I am going to treat us to lunch out :-)

The Stamp Basket and NEC News!

Good Evening

Hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine :-)  Think we need to make the most of it because it's meant to turn chilly again at the weekend ... typical because it's the start of the school hols!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post but I have been busy with DT work and spring cleaning!  The last time I posted I was just about to head off to the NEC ... well I had a fantastic time with Lynsey and Marianne.  It was lovely to meet up with some of our crafting friends and here is a picture of us which I have copied from Lynsey's blog ... hope you don't mind Lynsey :-)  Unfortunately the lovely Lou and Margaret are missing from this photo as they were busy working on the CC stand.

I also have some news to share!  A few weeks ago I applied for the GDT call at The Stamp Basket and was thrilled to receive an email from the lovely Janet to say I had been chosen along with Natalie, Marianne, Liz and Chris :-)  My day to post on The Stamp Basket blog is Wednesdays and I will be sharing my first card next week :-)

The Stamp Basket is a haven of gorgeous crafting supplies and I thought you might be interested to know there is currently an Easter Sale which runs until Thursday and also some Weekend Specials which might be of interest too!

That's all from me ... bed is calling!
