Quick Card

Just a quicky. Something i rustled up whilst dinner is on the go. Oh, and a sneak peak of the motif up for grabs soon. xxx

Had to show this

oh my gosh, just look at this lovely card i stumbled upon. I was checking my emails and i had a new guestbook entry, well actually it turns out i had a few since i last checked and one of them was from viv i just nearly died when i saw this card. Cute does not do it justice. Viv's use of colours, and her colouring technique just make this card. Sorry for the lateness, but had to share. Will be sharing more creations soon.

Features our new digi stamp range Burt, Bruce and lil pip.

DT Inspiration

Not sure about where you are in the world, but what awful weather we're having in cambridgeshire at the moment. Nothing, but rain all day. Thankfully yesterday was much better, as we attended an 18th birthday party complete with sumo suits and bouncy castle, what fun!! i am paying for it today though, my legs are killing me. lol.

Anyway to cheer you up on this sad and miserable day, i have some stunning DT work from Vicki. Vicki was given the new Marshmallow kit to play with, and oh my!! Vicki has been so busy. Take a look and enjoy!

Tinker's First Award

Wow. i ment to blog this a few days ago, but as ever time has just run away with me yet again. A big thank you to Vicki, for giving Tinker & Co's blog their first award, that was so nice and a gave a well needed up lift. Thank you vicki.
Now after a little digging i discovered i have to give this to 10 fellow bloggers, It does seem such a shame to give it to just 10 of you as there are so many wonderful talented people out there, so i'm going to share with it all this month.



I also wanted to share a few more cards from our design team, this time zoe Has produced some Stunning cards with the new Elisia pack.

You can find the pack here

More coming soon, and some big news to!!!
