Little Chickie Notelets

Hello lovely people,

It's Easter weekend, the weather is set to be lovely and I persuaded Dr. Hubby that I really *needed* an Easter egg, so all is well in my world!  I hope it's all good for you too :-)

So, I have a quick little trio of notelets to share for my Dies to Die For DT project.

I am such a sucker for the Mama Elephant little agenda stamps; I adore these cute chickies!  They are fab for quick little notelets.

The sentiment is also a new Mama Elephant set which I took about 0.2 seconds to decide I needed because...well, you always need sentiments and these are gorgeous!

The fishtail banner is also new, from MFT, and I know some people were unsure about this as it comes in 3 parts rather than a single folded banner, but I think it's more versatile in 3 parts.  Here I shortened the main banner and the ends to give me a teeny banner to match my sentiment!

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the links below or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Thanks for popping in and I hope you have a wonderful day and a lovely Easter!

Many Odd Dogs!

Hello lovely people,

Here we are on Monday morning again but I have something that might just brighten your day a little :-)

As you may know, LOTV are gradually making many of their images available as digis and today sees the release of the adorable Odd Dog digis.  There are a whopping 21 images to choose from including many that have never been released before!

I love being able to re-size the digi images and for this pair of cards I made them 6cm tall so I could make cute notelet style cards which are just 8.5 x 11.5 cm.

This Odd Dog with his mug of coffee/tea was one of my faves from the rubber stamp collection.

Alongside an old favourite I thought I'd show you one of the brand new images which I really loved.

You can go and check out the fab selection of Odd Dogs over at LOTV and of course, the rest of the DT will be showcasing more images for you.

Oh, and I haven't even mentioned that you get a cute sentiment with each image too! (which I didn't use for these cards but I will have more later in the week...)

I wish you all a great week even if you are working!

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

What's the buzz?

Hello lovely people,

I said I had two projects to share today (check out my other post for Top Tip Tuesday here) and I'm thrilled to say that the second is another guest DT spot...

So, I'm joining in with A Little Bit Crafty where our theme this month is...

THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

No, no, not like that, we want to see actual birds and/or bees please!

This was the perfect excuse to use some cute Pink Petticoat digi images and create a little boxed set of notelets.

I created 2 pockets on the inside with each one holding 3 extremely CAS notelets plus envelopes.

Each notelet has a different sentiment and I simply coloured the bees with Copics (Y18, B0000) then added a tiny gem detail to finish.

Ok, just one more shot of it all tied up with pretty organza ribbon...
