Our beautiful baby Sooty missed us when we were away at the weekend but I have to say sorry for misleading you all - we weren't in Norfolk but in Suffolk. Just sitting directly on the border apparently! We stayed in a lovely wee village pub in a place near Lopham and Redgrave Fens. We spent two days walking on them chasing the wildlife and enjoying the tranquility of the place. I got this fab pic of a robin just at the start of our second very long walk and wanted to share it with you all.
We also came across these stunning ponies that live wild on the fens - there were warning signs up saying not to approach them but they approached us thru a fence I have to say tho they did let me stroke them for a while.
Onto my card for today now.....this is for Lynne's friends wee girl Lily Mai. She is a gorgeous wee angel! Using a digi stamp I won drom Digistamp Boutique last year (Lilly and Flowers), I coloured her with my good old PMs (colours below), used a Nellie Snellen Oval Die and then cut around the outer shape of the die to create the darker layer. I used DPs I got from the fab Coops (thanks again) so dunno where they are from but they are stunning - such bright colours too! The bunting is from a freebie stamp set I got a couple of months ago - are they called Molly Bloom or similar?) Silly moo me thru the packaging out - how daft am I? I paper pieced some of them so they stand out more.
Ingredients are:~
Digistamp 'Lilly and Flowers' from Digistamp Boutique coloured with PMs~
Ivory, Blush, Dusky Pink, Satin, Henna, Caramel, Cinnamon, Sandstone, Poppy, Ruby, Rose Pink, Moss & Marsh Green;
DPs were gift from Nic (Coops);
Ribbons and flowers from stash;
Sentiment CG;
Nellie Snellen Oval Die;
Molly Bloom? Freebie Bunting stamp set.

Hi Sheila, thanks for the lovely comments you leave on my blog, sorry I've only just come back to you on your question re the pale blue and brown ribbon. I know I got it from Crafty Ribbons. However, it was in one of their big sample/value bags and I just got the one piece. I wish I could find some more. There was also a gorgeous green plaid one with a gold thread running through it, which I used for Nathan. Wish I could get some more of that one too. Your blog is lovely. I like the "hand written" look you've got. Where does that come from - I've seen a lot with this look and I must re-vamp mine....one day!! Its nearly half way through the year, and I've still not done the things I was planning on doing in January. Take care anyway. love and hugs from Jenny xx
