Apologies and some Squiggle Stamps Scrumminess!!!

Well firstly, before I even get on to any cardage I wanna say sorry I haven't been on here for a while!! Things have been go go go here I can tell you that!! Not only is it Summer holidays - boring lol, I have had some special birthdays aaaaaand, as it was my fiance's birthday - check me out fiance LOL, i organised for mum to have the kiddie winks for a few days and booked a room in london, so we went on a mini adventure to the city!! We had a fantastic time - very sophisticated we were - a trip to the theatre to see Chigago - which was AWESOME, then a trip to the Tate Modern and a trip to the British Museum - oooooh yes, the theatre and 2 museums - how very grown up are we now!! LOL!!! Soooo, that explains the lack of blogging, I doooo have cards though!!

As some of you may know, I am super lucky to have been picked to be on the DT for Squiggle Stamps and now have my very own lil spot on their blog every Sunday so today I have some of the cards I have made using their fabby images to share with you!! Some of you might have already seen these lil lovelies over ont he Squiggle Stamps blog, but I am yet to share them here so I thought i would pop them in this post as a lil treat for reading all my blurb at the beginning of the post!!

This first card features the gooooorgeous Polar Love digi image which you can grab here!! Yep - I didnt make a square card - are you proud? LOL I love the versatility of digi images, they lend themselves beautifully to resizing making them perfect for all card shapes and sizes. I am LOVING how little colouring this lil beauty needs!!! Just a little bit of light grey for shading and some blush finished off with a ton of glitter - well it is a christmas card after all!!! The papers are all Pink Petticoat Doodlicious Christmas, I finished it off with some ribbon from my huuuuge stash supply and some lil matching flowers in the corner - yes i know they are not really Christmassy flowers buuuuuut - they were the right colour :p


My next card features the gorgeous Oscar the Clown - again - I used the digital image for this card and it allowed me to curve the text around the image. If you fancy making a card with this lil cutie you will find him here in rubber and here in digi format. He is meant to look like he is juggling the sentiment - not sure if i pulled that one off lol, buuuut Im pretty happy with it!! Papers are from a digi kit by the looovely Zoe Pearn and thats pretty much it on this one, coloured as always with my copic ciao markers :)

If you are still reading my post THANK YOU for putting up with me for this long lol!! I will be back tomorrow with some more cards to share - I have the card I made Craig to share with you all - i will warn you now it is TOTALLY not a me card - i didnt even use an image - i know!! Soooo you will have to check back tomorrow to see that lil beauty!!!
