Heartbroken!

Hello lovely peeps,
I have just a quick post to share tonight & am sending my apologies for leaving my little blog idle  this past week.
Some of you will already know that my beautiful mum passed away last Thursday at the age of 65, leaving us all very shocked and heartbroken.
 
My mum was my number one fan and kept every handmade item I created for her, even my feeble attempts at card making when I started this hobby we love. Mum always read my blog & was so proud of me designing for the wonderful Simon Says Stamp.
I know if my mum could she would be telling me to dry my tears, publish some blog posts, get out my copics and make something beautiful :)
 
 
I will be back with you all soon

 
Gareth, Mum & Jodie
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Little Cupcakes & Tilda With Heart Phone - Simon Says Stamp DT

Hello lovely peeps!
It's been a funny old week here, lots to take in and adjustments to be made as one of my babies is going to be leaving muma & flying the nest! They are both all grown up (26 & 22) & I'm just not good at cutting those apron strings, I kind of like my babies, most of the time lol.

Today I have two cards to share in two different styles! One is CAS & the other is more ummm, Mandy style lol.
It's Wednesday which means ..........

Today's DT card features some of Simon Says Stamps cute little cupcakes stamps and dies from the Love Labeled stamp & dies set. I have used all the colours in the colour swatch on this little card & I also took inspiration from the cupcake picture theme. 
I think I'm finally getting the hang of CAS as I didn't sit agonising for ages worrying it looked too plain & wanting to put "just a few" flowers on it lol.
I have used Simon Says Stamp Mint, Cotton Candy & Surf Blue card stock and Doll Pink & Audrey Blue ink pads to stamp with (all linked at the end)
