Just peeking through! - Happy Mother's Day

After sharing Jane's wonderful new digital images yesterday - including her stunning daffodils I thought I would post what my inspiration was when working on my cards. 

These little stunners popped up in the garden last week and I photographed them last Monday.  They are just dancing around the base of my bay tree standards in big planters.  They are miniature daffodils which appear each year just when the garden is waking up from it's Winter slumber.

Hopefully Spring has well and truly arrived.  Hope you have a lovely day and for those of you celebrating Mother's Day on this side of the Atlantic - enjoy.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Jane's new images, a freebie and a chance to win a digi!

My friend and ultra talented artist Jane asked me to be a Guest Friend and work with her new digital images that are released today on Squigglefly.  I was so thrilled that she asked me as I just adore her images and they are sooo easy to work with.  I coloured, cut and layered her beautiful daffodils digi on the first card.  This image is on sale for $1.25.... unbelievable.. don't you just love digis!

 Then for this one I simply printed it out, cut in my Big Shot with Labels 8 nesties again, coloured and added some crochet thread.  I then printed the image a second time - just cut out the flowers, coloured them and added them on top of the original image to give added dimension.  One of the daffodils protrudes over the top of the card, which I love.

Then Jane produced adorable Boris the Bunny.....

I coloured him last night ... so he is a little darker than intended!!! so I then made a fun bright Spring Card using him and the freebie carrots - available on Jane's blog.  I also had one of Jane's fimo buttons left to add to this card.

 

Jane has very kindly organised a giveaway of her images today.  Leave a comment here and I'll randomly choose a winner of one of Jane's newly released images (daffodils or Boris) tomorrow evening at 9pm GMT.  As I mentioned she also has a carrots freebie over on her blog. 

Please visit Jane's Doodlers to see what they did with these wonderful images

Entering my daffodil cards into Crafty Calendar Challenge as this month's theme/challenge is flowers.

Digi freebie over on TGF and a thank you

It's Tuesday and that means that I have deadlines to meet!!! and no card to upload at the moment.  Just uploaded 120 photos from my camera to my PC - so need to do some processing and will share later.  Yeah, have been churning out cards .... but only a fraction of those 120 photos will see the light of day.... took multiples with different settings as the daylight wasn't too obliging!

Wanted to share these beautiful tiny daffodils that I bought this morning when out picking up some crafting supplies.  The flower shop is just soooo pretty and has such beautiful displays of scent and colour.  These daffodils are planted in a beautiful metal trough and are a gift for my DH's granny.  Hope she will like them - I adore them hint hint hubby..... Mother's Day is this coming Sunday here in Ireland! LOL!!!.

Just a heads up - do you like digi images?  Well The Greeting Farm blog has the most AMAZING image as a freebie today called Audrey.  Be sure to go straight over and grab it as it is only free until this evening.

Hope to make a card with her later - she is a complete tomboy... and so fun.

A Big "Thank You" to everyone who has supported my challenge over on Paperplay this week - we are at 116 and still counting.  I am just in awe of the wonderful creations and stories behind who is going to receive these wonderful cards/projects.  So nice to send out some love to those we care about ... thanks so much for playing along.  The challenge finishes tomorrow night (Wed 10th) at 9pm GMT
