Calendars

 Hi folks

I'm here with something new for this year, I decided I would make a calendar for my Dad, then I decided to make one for me too ha! 

So I designed the calendar date bit on the computer and printed them out on watercolour paper, then stamped and coloured all the images. And I treated myself to a mini cinch machine to finish them off properly (though to date I've only got my Dad's calendar finished and only got January's page done for mine, lol).

Thinking Of You

 Hi everyone!

It's gonna be very hot today, we're already starting to melt! Perfect day to sit and colour I say. Anyhoo, I made this card for Dad-in-law for Father's Day last week and I really enjoyed colouring this stamp in. I decided to make the bird look like a Blue Tit as they're so pretty with their blue, yellow and green colours.
