On this sunny Sunday afternoon, I made this simple picture, using IndigoBlu's Live,Laugh,Love stamp set. I coloured all of the images with watercolours, which I always enjoy using. I think I will put this picture onto a card.

I used this beautiful stamp by Phyllis Harris, to make a Clean Simple card for the Craft Barn Challenge. I don't usually do clean and simple so this was a good challenge for me to try!
Thank you for visiting.

Last year I found a guest book in the John Lewis sale. It had bright and cheerful beach huts on it, so of course I couldn't resist!
I decided to alter the guest book into a summer scrapbook journal.
I started by adding some texture paste to give the appearance of sand, and then I used watercolours over the top.
The girl is a Phyliss Harris stamp which I also coloured with water colours. I used some pink thread to create the flowing ribbons on her hat.
I glued some real shells onto the bottom of the cover, and finished by laying a ribbon down the side .
The inside pages all had titles on them, but these were easily covered with papers.
I hope I have inspired you to have some fun, and create something for this months challenge at Mixed Media Mojo which is "Summertime" and the Twist is Shells which you can use if you wish.

I heard some tweeting outside in my garden today, and when I looked out I saw a lovely little bird. I went outside to say hello, and what a surprise, he said he was visiting me from IndigoBlu and was inviting me to join their International Design Team! What a huge surprise! I very quickly said YES!
Thank you Indigo Blu, what an honour to be invited to work with such a talented and respected company. I look forward to working with the great Indigo Blu team, and I will do my very best to do their wonderful products justice!
I gave the birdie some bird friendly snacks and a drink, he happily played for a while in our small fairy fountain, before flying back to IndigoBlu.
I recently found this cute little notebook. I decided to alter the cover by using A lovely Teddy stamp by Crafty Insividuals, and colouring her with watercolours.I created the background by using chalks on water I have written a short tutorial on how I did this here. I then added a few spalshes of watercolours.
I tied a lot of pretty organza ribbons onto the book spiral.
Thank you so much for visiting.

I used the beautiiful Boadicia stamp set from IndigoBlu, and coloured her with watercolours. I have made something quite simple with no extras added, but I think it says so much.

I was inspired by the candle wreath in the June issue of Land Love Magazine. So I created my version of it. I placed it in what was my dog Tammy's bowl. It would have been her birthday today, but she sadly died over 16 years ago. I still miss her everyday.
I used Sweet Peas, Lavender, Rosemary, and Meadowsweet which were all from our little garden, and I purchased some Sweet Williams.
I found a Yankee candle called "Angel Wings" which was perfect as I always called her my Angel.
Incidentally this month Land Love have the most gorgeous lantern paper template to download and create!
