My friend Abby

Hey everyone. Hope we are all well. Just thought I would show you a card I finally made with one of my stamps from Spesch Stamps. I loved drawing this image and want to do so much more but struggling at the moment to get other things done so I have to rely on my fabulous DT. But this turned out just how I pictured it. LOL. What do you think of Miss Abby......???? I love her.

Spesch Stamps news ---- Bonnie is well on her way and I have two other stamps that are available in Clear Polymer coming too but wanted to release them and my site all at the same time. We have limited numbers but if popular we will be getting a lot more made.

Hope you can all hang out for it. I want you all to be as excited as me.

Have a good one.

Bonnie

Who is sad that the weekend is over....??? *puts hand up* It goes too quickly. I suppose I should be thankful that I don't have to trudge off to work and make an honest dollar - instead I am sitting at home spending money on crafting stuff. LOL. Okay enough babbling. Hehehe.

I mentioned last week that Bonnie was going to made in to clear stamps. Well I got some samples and I was absolutely rapt with the quality of them. This is one of the clear stamps. I went in to my LSS and asked them if they would sell the Spesch Stamps for me on consignment. They said "Yes" so I am absolutely rapt that the stamps will be out in the big wide world other than blogland lol. So they asked me to make a few sample cards with the stamps - as it would probably help them sell better. So I bought some of their Papermania Paper packs and made this gorgeous birthday card. I loved how she turned out. Everything on this card can be purchased from the LSS that I will be giving the stamps to to sell.

Masking

Good morning everyone. Hope we are all having a wonderful weekend. Today is Sunday so means it is Magnolia Down Under Challenge time. This week for Group 2 we have a 'Masking' challenge for you all. I thought I would use my Edwin stamp from the Raising the Ceiling range as he hasn't seen much ink lately and the bench is also Magnolia - but for the life of me can't remember what range. Soz. LOL. The sentiment is from ATS and the gorgeous papers are from the Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety range. Please come and join in the fun at MDUC. The other girls have done an inspirational job with their cards.

Sending you a note

This morning I thought I would show you a card I made just for the hell of it. LOL. It is sometimes hard to remember that we all do this for the fun of it so when I got this and another Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp from Tickled Pink Stamps I thought I would make a card. This is Marie Antoinette. I just love that big skirt. As I used ribbons and a bow on this card it actually fits in the Stampin' for the Weekend challenge this fortnight.

This card measure 5"x5.5". I made this card to fit in to a little box I found at my local Haberdashery/craft shop and wanted to give it a go of decorating it. I am hoping I can get that done and post on here very soon. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Congratulations Big Sister

This is my sister and her new fiance John. This photo was taken a while ago but when my sister told me she was getting married in July I thought I would get Christina to design a stamp based on this photo of my sister and her beau. She did an absolutely beautiful job. I sent this to my sister last week and she received it at the end of the week. Hahaha unfortunately I made the release day today. I have been itching to show you all this fabulous image. Now - one question.....!!!!! Have any of you seen an engaged image before. I don't think so....???? Stay tuned as we will be havindg more released soon.

If you want this gorgeous stamp than please pop on over to the Spesch Stamps blog or go to the Etsy store and you can pick it up now.
This is the inside of the card and the poem is from the net.
Enjoy your Friday everyone.

Bonnie is going clear

Who would like to see our little miss in clear......????

I am going to be doing a special preorder. If you are interested in getting this little miss in clear polymer than please leave your name here. I will be selling my clear stamps for $8.50 but if you register your interest today you can get her for $7.00 but only with this preorder.

It will take approximately 2-3weeks for the stamp to come in once I order them. I will run the preorder for one week (so that means she will be in in approx 4 weeks).

Leave a comment on this post over at Spesch Stamps and I will send you an invoice when she comes in. Only the people who comment on that post will get her at the preorder price. I will be writing the names down so please make sure you get her at this special.

Love Bites

Good morning everyone. I hope you are all well. I am fantastic - still got the headaches but managing. I think it really is just a combination of home life, trying to run a new business and having everything happen at once. I will get there I am sure.

Just thought I would show you a card I made a little while ago with the Bella and Edward digital stamp by Spesch Stamps. I love this image and I got it designed by Sarah more for the fact that I love Twilight - not necessarily to make many sales from it. The Love Bites sentiment is from Artful Inkables. From their Twilight series of stamps. When I saw them for the first time I had to buy them. LOL. Hope we all have a great Sunday.

TGIF

Hey sweet ladies. I just thought I would pop on quickly and say hello. This is a picture of my sweet girl Ashley. She is the best thing that has happened to me. She is my delight. She is also definately a mummy's girl.

I have been suffering from headaches and not feeling well for the last month so have had a lack of motivation. I think it may be time to get my neck (where the pain is coming from) checked out by the GP. Hopefully something can be fixed. Other than that things have been extremely busy with Spesch Stamps and all. I have decided to step down from Anya Ink as my heart just isn't in it at the moment. Hope you all understand. LOL. I am getting a website organised for Spesch Stamps also and am trying to get Clear Polymer Stamps organized as well. Lots of things are happening at once. I think I need to chill for a little bit. LOL. Have a good Friday everyone. I will be back some time over the weekend.
