LOTV New Release

Hi crafty peeps, hope you have all had a lovely Christmas. You may have noticed I have been absent for a while, this is due to the arrival of my Grandson in June and him being placed in my care 3 months ago. As you can appreciate it's been a busy few months getting organised and settled but I'm hoping To get back on it in the new year :-)

Today I'm sharing a couple of cards made with the new clear stamps from Lili of the Valley which will be available to buy from the store tomorrow:-)

This first one is from the Sweet Bears collection.

This next one is from the Love Gnomes collection

Both have been coloured with copics, however, I didn't note the colours on this occasion.

Wishing you a Happy New Year :-)

Hoppy Easter

 Good morning crafty peeps, to say it's been a while is an understatement!! Having worked from home for the last 2 years, my craft room became my office so my crafty time was very limited. I've now started a new role and I'm out and about and have my desk back and my mojo :-)

I'm pleased to say I've returned to the Lili of the Valley Design Team and can't wait to get sharing again with you all.

We have some fabulous new Easter images and there is 50% off in the shop at the moment :-)

And with Mothers Day tomorrow, we have the perfect images for your cards - here's a couple I've made using:
