Puppy thank You's

Hey everyone.
As usual, I'm up to my neck in commissions. I am currently working for Michelle Marsden at Red Hot Bed alongside the projects I do for Crafter's Companion.
I thought I would share with you a set of Thank You cards I was asked to make. There is a charity that I help which trains dogs in bio-detection. They can be trained to find cancer and recognise when a diabetic needs to take their medication and give a warning, among other things. I am an emergency foster home, so I help out by looking after the puppies when the need arises. The dog I'm currently fostering is a labrador puppy called Dizzy. He is the calmest and most loving dog I have ever had and it's going to be hard seeing him go in a few days!
The local charity co-ordinator asked me to make some thank you cards using a dog image, so I naturally thought of the Wild Rose Studio puppy stamp. I used a variety of thank you stamps and some background paper from the Popcorn Bear CD ROM.
I hope she likes them!

Wild Rose Studio November sketch challenge

Hello everyone.
It's been way too long since I last posted on my blog. Like many people, we are struggling in the recession, so I've been taking on alot of extra commissions lately.
I am pleased that I found a bit of 'Me' time to make a card for Dulcie's November Sketch challenge, that can be found at the Wild Rose Studio blog I was a bit stumped by the sketch to start with, but once I got going, I was pleased with the results!
I have used the 'Louis with Heart' stamp, along with some background paper from the Wild Rose spring CD ROM. The punched flowers were crumpled & flattened out again to add some dimension.
Please go along to the blog & have a go at the sketch- I'll be looking at all of your versions!!

Busy busy busy!!!!

Hi to everyone!
I fully intend to post something arty in the next day or two, but have been rather busy lately. If I saw you yesterday in Worthing at the Great South Stamp show, hello and thank you for your support. We had a phenomenal day on the Crafter's Companion stand.
I spent last weekend at the house of Sara Davies (genius behind Crafter's Companion for those that don't know!). We spent 3 days planning some fantastic products that will be available over the coming months- can't say any more, but there's some exciting new things on the way to you!
Hope you are all well,
back soon

Popcorn for Christmas!

Hi everyone.
I hope you are enjoying this lovely summery day- I know it's hard to believe it's here, so make the most of it!
Anyway, I hate thinking about Christmas when it is so warm outside, but I'm working on some commissions using the new Popcorn Bear Christmas stamps by Crafter's Companion and thought i would share this one with you!

New baby card and a challenge to boot!

Hello everyone!
I have been VERY busy with commissions just lately. If anyone watched the launch of the Christmas Popcorn the Bear sets on Create & Craft tonight, you'll see what I've been up to!
This baby card is for my cousin and her husband in Germany, who have just had their first baby. I have taken design inspiration from the challenge on the Funky Hand challenge blog for August, so I decided to enter this card for the challenge!
The spotty & the striped papers are both from the V.Funky CD ROM and I have used the same two papers to punch out some of the flowers.
The Popcorn image is actually taken from the new christmas range, but it works extremely well as a new baby image too!
Wish me luck for my first challenge attempt!!
