Funky Inks Blog Hop

Hello :) and thank you so much for joining in the Funky Hand and Tiddly Inks Funky Inks blog hop....we have a veritable feast of inspiration using Anice's lovely papers and Christy's digis!


I am certainly incredibly excited to be involved! As a lover of all things digital this collaboration has meant you can go wherever your imagination lets you. So let’s see what I have created…



I have used the “You’ve Retired” palette from the Wishes andKisses CD-ROM from Funky Hand and the gorgeous “Always the Flower Girl” image from Tiddly Inks.

I have paper pieced the image by printing her onto the Funky Hand papers, then cutting her out and layering with foam pads. The image and the papers were a match made in heaven and I felt that the card didn’t need any further embellishment other than the simple sentiment.

You should have come via Lou Mac’s blog, but don’t worry if you haven’t. A full list of the blogs is as follows:

Also, you will be able to see that the only limit is your own imagination. And if you feel equally inspired to have a go, please share your gorgeous creations with us on the Funky Hand Facebook page.
And please leave me a comment before you pop on over to Maria, I’d love to know what you think of my card. Love as always. Sammylou xxx

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Hello :) long time no speak. We have been migrating to a new HR and payroll system at work so my crafting time has been squished into nothing. And, despite thinking about Christmas cards since August, I am very far behind on my makes :(

However, I have managed to make these and was very pleased with how they turned out! They were made using Funky Hand papers and a Sizzix snowman die and their Trixie Girl alphas.




I hope you like them and look forward to seeing you all soon with some more makes.
