Good morning everyone...

...we hope you have enjoyed a good weekend - we are starting off the new week (and nearly a new month - can't believe that it will be May soon?) with the release of two new stamps:

Family Ted:


This is a real cutie, works a treat for colouring, decoupage and paper piecing and our teamies have made a lovely selection of card too, Georgina has combined 'Family Ted' stamp with the words 'baby' that have been made with our Daisy Dot Alphabet stamp set:

A beautiful new poppy stamp (with a smattering of daisies) absolutely perfect for colouring, decoupage and paper piecing and on the card below, Georgina has repeated the main design and also stamped the background using the stamp too:

  2. My favorite flower has to be the Snowdrop, I read an Enid Blyton book as a child where lady 'rang the first snowdrop' to welcome the spring. I only have a small clump of snowdrops in our garden, but each spring when they flower I will go and 'ring' one of the tiny flowers.

  3. Another couple of winning stamps from you, both are so lovely, and I can see lots of occasions that they would be perfect for. My favorite is the Poppies though. Find it hard to say which is my fav flower, I love so many, but maybe the Sunflower, the wonderful golden colour of the leaves, they way the flowers stretches up to the sun and of course the seeds are food for the birds. yes, definately the SUNFLOWER, Kate x

  5. WOW!!! These really are so beautiful. The teddies are adorable and I love the poppies.
    Your DT creations are wonderful and so inspiring.

    My favourite flowers are Sweet Peas. My granddad always grew them in his garden and in the summer he would always pick me a bunch to give to my mum. So they really do hold such special memories for me. They smell gorgeous too!

    Thank you for the chance to win

    Hugs Sue

  7. Two lovely new stamps and super inspiration from the design team. I would have to say that my favourite flower is the lily. Nothing better than walking into a room and having the wonderful smell of lilies in the air.

  9. Those teddies are soooo cue and the poppies are gorgeous. My favourite flower varies according to the time of year. I always love to see the different plants emerging again from the soil. I do love the Spring flowers especially daffodils but overall the rose is probably my favourite.

  12. All these cards are beautiful - especially love those poppies! My favorite flower is the lilac - I could look at them and smell their heady perfume all day!

  13. Both of these stamps are wonderful.
    My favourite flower is the Coneflower. I love how the petals point backward, the feel of the picky center, that they have a long blooming season and because of the sweet little yellow finches they attract.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

  16. Hiya girls,

    Really love the new teddies stamp and the poppies are so useful and don't have to be just red !!

    My favorite flowers will be Lily of the Valley as I adore the smell, but more importantly they remind me of my mum....

    hugs to all,

    Diane xx

  17. I love all flowers and adore Freesias but I have to choose Sweet Peas because they grow for me whereas Freesias don't and because there are so many colours and the smell is divine.
