A big welcome to all of my lovely followers and visitors to my little space in the crafting world of blogland! I love colouring, drool over every embellishment and love to 'look' at papers (never mind using them) - some are just TOO good to use lol. I hope you enjoy your little wander through my creative world and would love to feel that I may have inspired some of you in some small way. Happy Crafting to you all and I hope you will stop by again soon!

The Hobby House Inspiration - Hopeful

Good Morning everyone! Hope you've all enjoyed  a fab weekend - we've been kinda sweltering down here in the South ....... and I absolutely LOVE it!! I don't do cold very well, so this is definitely my kind of weather!  This weekend was shared with my gorgeous children and grandchildren, a nice big pool, lovely food, water fights and glorious sunshine - what more could you ask for?  Mind you, I don't think my eldest is finding it so glorious as she only has one week today until little one is due ....... maybe it's not the best weather for the heavily pregnant!! 

Onto my card now and today is my day to show a bit of inspiration for the fabulous Hobby House.  I absolutely adore being on their DT and love, love, love all of the beautiful embellishments we are lucky enough to get to play with!
Here is the adorable Hopeful and she is a pre-coloured topper by Sylvia Zet.  I thought I'd surround Hopeful with some fancy stitching - I literally didn't have a clue what pattern I was going to end up with!  I just pricked some holes around the edges and went from there LOL .... quite pleased with the outcome though :)

Flowers, fancy button, flat backed pearls, charm, ribbon, lace, rhinestone sparklers, mini brads and gems can all be found HERE at The Hobby House store!  

Background card from Kanban.
