WHAT A BIG STAMP!!!!!

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all well .. .. and a bit warmer than yesterday!!  The cold snap came as a bit of a shock after the lovely sunshine we have been having.

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my Funky make yesterday. They were all very much appreciated and also welcome to my new followers. I hope you enjoy the little makes I post.

A quick share of the second stamp I picked up from Dunelm.  Such a cute stamp but to be honest I didn't realise quite how big it was until I came to attach it to an acrylic block this morning!!!  In fact it is nearly the whole face of my card blank .. .. and they are 144 x 144 !!

It was a lovely image to colour and again I might have gone a bit overboard with the glamour dust .. .. but it needed it!!  LOL!!!

So here is my make:
 





This used:
Image:  Trimcraft "HCCL007" Fairy Cake Frolics
Backing Paper:  Funky Hand Papercraft Factory "Craft The Year Away"
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Ribbon from the Stash Box

and that is it.  Mind you not much room on the card for anything else really LOL!!

I don't know if you have noticed but I have also put a little link at the top of my side bar to my lovely baby Sister's website if you fancy having a little look at her gorgeous creations.  I hope you don't mind me mentioning this but I am so proud of her .. .. .. she has done really well and merged together her "wedding bags" website with her "general bags" website.  Clever girl!!!  She must have been the one that got the brains .. .. wonder what I got because it wasn't the looks either?  LOL!!!

Anyway have a lovely day.  I am off to spend the afternoon with my Mum colouring and putting inserts into my makes.  Wonder what Mum will do?  Last week she sat and played her Nintendo!!  Not bad at 80!!

Catch you later.

Love

    It is a cute stamp though, Jules. We are supposed to be getting a Dunelm locally so I'm looking forward to exploring what they have as I have never been to one of their stores before. My Mum at 84 is quite computer literate but hasn't asked for a Nintendo yet.
    Have a nice day . Will be off to have a look at your sisters website in a little while.

    Hi Jules, I nearly picked this stamp up last night from the Range but with Fathers day coming up I opted for a fishing one with two bears on instead. Now I wish i'd picked the same as you up instead, you've made it look so gorgeous and fun.
    Happy crafting

    We must be close to tha same age Jules; My mom is 76 and often mistaken for her early 60s because she has so much energy and never afraid to try new things. :)

    Another beautiful creation. I love the pink and you are so great at coloring and color choices. You really make it look so easy, though I know its not.

    Off to visit your sisters blog.
    Hugs

    It is a big stamp Jules, but a very nice one too, they have some nice goodies in Dunelm, we have a big store here and I pop in now and again, good prices too. The card is lovely, sweet and yet pretty at the same time. Good on your mum for getting into nintendo, go girl! LOL
