Welcome to this month's Colour Combo Blog Hop. This month's three colours are Shaded Spruce, Pool Party and Flirty Flamingo. The stamp sets I have used for my card are Buffalo Check and In Every Season. I decided to use the Buffalo Check background stamp to stamp onto a layer of Whisper White.

Welcome to the March Kre8tors Blog Hop. This is a sad time of year as we say good bye to our Sale-A-Bration promotion. This year we have had some lovely products. Some so lovely that they have sold out and more have had to be ordered in to fulfil orders. One of the SAB products I have decided to use today is the Lovely Lattice stamp set. For this card I decided to keep it simple. I made a Whisper White card base then used the Crackle Paint background stamp to...

It has been know to have a family of ducks at my front door. During the month of March I am trying to do...

So on days like this it is best to stay indoors and craft. The theme this month is Valentines/Love. Whilst I was looking on line I came across a card with envelopes on the front, with each envelope holding a message inside. So I decided to make a variation of this card and to use some of our products from the Annual...
