A bookmark for Miss Rebecca

Well good morning friends....hope your week got off to a
great start! Still no sign of Spring here unless you count
the lonely little crocus just peeking out that I saw on the way
to the shops yesterday! For today, I have a bookmark
for Miss Rebecca.....she is an avid reader, much like I
was at her age, (and still am) and loves bookmarks in
any shape or form! Had another little play with
the ink pads too, just a little inking round the edges
bit I think I like it......have a feeling I could get into this 
inky business lol!
here's what I used
Alice stamp - Sugar Nellie
spot& stripe paper - scrap box
flower - xcut die
text paper - computer generated
promarkers
brad, ric rac - stash
half doily - scrap box

Digitally "Sweet" Challenge #28

Hi guys, well thank goodness it's Friday! Hope you're all well &
 looking forward to the weekend.....I know I am! For this 
weeks challenge over at Digitally "Sweet" Challenges we want 
you to incorporate Spring and/ or pastel colours into
your creations.  We only have one rule and that is your work
must be 100% digital! I used a pre-made LO as I was
short on time this week......then added a few bits of my own...
love these digital kits, they're so versatile! Don't forget,
you can check out the rest of the teams' work over on the
main blog! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Dream big

Afternoon friends, hope you're all well! Another grey, dark
damp day here in Yorkshire, it's been trying to snow again too
so perfect weather to sit in my craft room lol!
Today's card is another "just because" card...she'll just sit in my
 box until she's needed! Again, I've used scraps from my bit
box and some fab old felt embellies I'd forgotten I had!
Sentiment is an Andy Skinner stamp, the die cuts are my fav
from memory box, the image is from Saturated Canary
and she's coloured with promarkers!
So that's all for today, thanks for popping round!
