I'll Look Out For You

I'm very fortunate to be part of a loving family, we are fiercely loyal and always look out for each other :)

With the children returning to school in under two weeks, I have so much to do it's quite overwhelming...first thing's first, I think I need a nice cup of tea ;)

Have a lovely Wednesday!

Congratulations on Your Engagement

You can't beat a spot of heat embossing for quick, but very effective results!

You're So Very Tweet

Another dreary Monday morning, what I wouldn't give to be somewhere hot and sunny right now!

Stamps - Some Birdie Loves You & Into The Woods / Tools - Clearly Besotted 'Some Birdie Loves You Die Collection'; MFT Frames / Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black; VersaMark / Colouring Medium - Copic Sketch Markers / Other - White Embossing Powder; Black Twine

Jenny has informed me that due to an unexpectedly busy August, she is now in a position to bring back existing coordinating dies and gradually introduce them for the newer stamps.  This is a welcome surprise for me personally, as much as I find fussy cutting very therapeutic, I am a big fan of dies!  This was not an option Jenny originally envisaged possible, especially not so soon, and we have our amazing customers to thank for that - THANK YOU!!!! :D

Hope your Monday is as stress free as possible ;) lol

A Bundle Of Joy

I think the phrase a bundle of joy is a little misleading...not much joy in severe lack of sleep and dirty nappies (diapers) ;) haha...

Jasmine is sceptical of the stork delivering babies story so I have decided to sit her down and tell her the truth...that they come from out of space and are delivered by aliens! lol

Hope you have a great Thursday :D

Waiting patiently for my husband to return home from work so we can go out for dinner, one of these days I will learn how to cook a meal for my family...or maybe not ;) lol

Thanks for stopping, so very kind of you :) xxx

Head & Shoulders Above The Rest

Anyone else watching and enjoying the World Athletics Championships?  I think we would all agree that these incredible athletes are head and shoulders above the rest!

I really like the colouring effect that Jenny has done on the clouds using Copic markers so I've asked her to do a video...hopefully she will oblige ;)

Hope your Monday is as good as a Monday can get! lol

Heartfelt Thanks

Another quick card from me, and when I say quick, I'm referring to my part...I'm sure Jenny (who did the colouring) would disagree haha!

Especially For You

I used Simply Succulent and Simply Succulent II together to create these cards...

 Stamps - Simply Succulent, Simply Succulent II & Scrumptious Script / Dies - Simply Succulent Die Collection; Lawn Fawn Pierced Rectangles / Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black; VersaMagic Dew Drops

The weather has turned very gloomy here in the UK which seems strange considering there appears to be an extreme heatwave elsewhere in Europe...if only we could all have a happy medium ;)

Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday!

Thanks A Bunch

The feedback from Jenny is that it was a very good release for Clearly Besotted, with all of the new sets selling double figures (which isn't always the case - we really are that small!) so for that I want to say, thanks a bunch...

Have A Magical Birthday

My personal favourite set from our August release is the platypus one, just looking at these little characters makes me laugh out loud...in the nicest possible way of course ;)

Stamps - Platypus At Play & Scrumptious Script / Pattern Paper - Echo Park / Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black / Colouring Medium - FaberCastell Polychromos / Other -  Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper

Stamps - Platypus At Play & Trouble In A Tutu / Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black; VersaMagic Dew Drops / Colouring Medium - FaberCastell Polychromos

Stamps - Platypus At Play / Dies - Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangles / Pattern Paper - Echo Park / Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black / Colouring Medium - FaberCastell Polychromos / Other - Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper

It was very strange not to be at 'headquarters' for release day but I have to admit, taking a back seat with Clearly Besotted has absolutely been the right decision for me.  Stamping is now my hobby again, not my job, and I am enjoying it all the more because of it :D

Thank you very much for visiting me today, I hope you are having a lovely Thursday!
