Now you may have noticed that I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for bike images ,, unfortunately this hasn't translated to getting the real thing out of the garage ,,, but you never know ,,, :-)


Hello Spring !! 
I used a Hero Arts On The Go Bike, stamp and die set and Mix Notecards Midnight


012

I made the banner using the stamps and die in the set, stamping onto canvas and sewing on a machine. The tulips are cut from a Meadow Rue die, and the grass is a Martha Stewart icicle punch that is now discontinued. I swiped the bricks with a versamark ink pad and embossed with clear to make it look like a white gloss painted wall :-)

I will link all the products I used at the bottom of this post.

Happy Mail from Simon Says Stamp :-)

Hi all :-) The postie just arrived !! YAY !! :-)

I don't usually post my new goodies on here but after seeing several other bloggers doing it ,,, and I love to see what they bought, I thought I would show you my birthday treat to myself :-)

As I am lucky enough to be on the Simon’s Artist Team, I bought an art bin and magnetic sheets specifically to keep my Simon’s Exclusive Dies in there. The case is pretty boring but I do intend to jazz it up a bit :-)

 As you can see I also got loads of 3D foam squares, washi tapes and other essentials :-)
