Saturday's Crafty Creations #2 Featuring Fairwee Readers from Sweet November Stamps

Good morning and welcome to this week's Saturday's Crafty Creations post. It is my new year's goal to post more often once more on my blog, so will be doing this post every Saturday until I get back into the swing of it and then I might add another regular slot!

Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge #1 - Anything Fantasy Goes & Saturday's Crafty Creations #1

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from Heart's Quest Fantasy. This month our challenge is an Anything Fantasy Goes, so you can use any image you like as long as it features a fantasy character or theme, so think fairies, mermaids, gnomes, dragons, unicorns and so on. 

For my card, I am still in Christmas card making mode, so used this adorable fairy making her snowman from Sweet November Stamps called Piper's Snowman. I went for a mostly monochromatic colour combo of aqua/teal blues and white and just love how it came out.

I also couldn't remember the last time I did a Something Else on Saturday post, so I thought, what with it being a new year, I would come up with a new name for my regular Saturday posts instead!

Scene It Sunday #191 Featuring Finna & Pearla from Sweet November Stamps

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. I can't believe today is the 1st June. Where did May go? I have used these cuties from Sweet November Stamps and the Deep background builder set as well to create this fun scene. I got all the mermaid new releases as digital stamps as I prefer digis to clear stamps for the most part (I do prefer clear stamps for sentiments as I can then stamp them in whatever colour matches the card) as I can resize them and make the scenes much easier than masking and stamping!
