Pink Piggies

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Helene's turn to host and she would like to see 'Bring Your Bling' so that's lots of sparkle.
Here is what I did, I used cute and fun stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie, I did stamp it twice so I could do a practice run at colouring them and getting my colours right.  I needed to go with pinks because of the sentiment but then wanted to use papers that pulled the greens in too, I love this colour combo as I love the burgandy.  Adding gems and stickles gave me my sparkle for this weeks challenge theme, but then I always love to use some sparkle on my girlie cards.

Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.

April Showers

Hello, it's Monday again, it comes round so quickly. I hope you’re all OK and have had a lovely weekend.  We went to Cumbria  to see the home of Beatrix Potter, Hill Top Cottage.  We had a fabulous time even though it rained the whole day and we even had snow at one point.  Lake Windermere looked wonderful too and there was snow capped hills in the background, that was our view while we ate our picnic.
I thought the kids might not have enjoyed it but the kids found it quite interesting.  I can honestly say Beatrix Potter was a very inspiring woman of her time.

So for the theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge, this time it was our lovely Beth's turn to choose the theme and she chose "April Showers".
I used this House Mouse stamp and I always love colouring it.  Because the image is quite big and detailed I kept the card simple.
Of course you must use a House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie to join in.

We are sponsored by:-
