I told you it was being released soon....well it is now available together with all the other images above.....I just love the science nerds...have them coloured and ready to make into something over the weekend....too cute and there are matching papers etc to go with them....you can find all the new images HERE. And if that wasn't enough Christy is also offering 30% discount on all orders over $15....so if you like them, grab them quick while they are on special.

SJ's Little Musings Friday Freebie and Buy it Now!

It's Friday Freebie time over on SJ's Little Musings Blog, this week the freebie is a cute telephone. She also has a Buy It Now called Love2Type, and for the bargain price of £1.50 you receive 11...yes 11 images, some coloured, some uncoloured and some with text and some without. Also in her Folksy store you car buy a postcard of the image I have used, which she will personalise...for me she left it blank as I wanted to make quite a few, so I added some MM mini alphas to mine, and created the rest of the sentiment in MS Word using a Love Letters (typewriter) font. The papers are all Bo Bunny Crush and I have layered them with some black Bazzill cardstock. The hearts were punched from the papers using an SU punch.

I have also used this weeks sketch over on Papertake Weekly (although I made the main image square instead of circular), and followed the theme over on A Spoon Full of Sugar, so please pop over there and check out their challenges.

Something a little different...

Here is a card I made quickly last night. I was playing with some seam binding available HERE and HERE from Creative Treasures and decided to make some flowers with it. This card is different for me as although I stamped the sentiment....that was all the stamping I did. The birdcage is a Tim Holtz Alterations die and I have added some more seam binding to tie a bow, some Prima Raja Centres available HERE. I also added some pearl bling and the sentiment is by My Favorite Things Die-namics stamp & die set available HERE from Dies to Die For (if they are out of stock just email Tracy and she will add them to her next order)....oooh and the backing paper is Bo Bunny "Crush".

Thanks for looking at something a little different...
