Sharing a biscuit...or a sandwich!

Today’s card is another Nellie Snellen image that I’ve been wanting to ink up for a while and just not got round to it! I just love this stamp! It’s called ‘Sharing a biscuit’ and reminds me of a friend who was recently walking through a park eating her lunch when she found herself surrounded by squirrels…so what did she do? She shared her sandwich!

The sentiment is from a lovely little set of Wild Rose Studio stamps called ‘Christmas Circles’. Both stamps are currently in our sale!

Saturday Afternoon at the Stamp Basket

Hello and a warm welcome to the The Stamp Basket on this freezing cold Saturday! A big 'thank you' to everyone who sent in name suggestions for our baby elephant – we did so enjoy reading your e-mails and the ideas that you sent through were just fab - some of the names really made us chuckle, and it was so difficult to choose! But the decision was unanimous and I can now reveal that....big drum roll...

the name that we have chosen is

************

*****

Molly May

Such a cute name and so perfect for our baby elephant! We hope that you have fun colouring her and using her in your projects - don't forget to send us your piccies, we'd love to see what you make using the stamp!

Donations for Brandon’s family can be still be made on the website and our free Christmas digi stamp will be automatically e-mailed to anyone resident in the UK or Europe who makes a donation from now until 1^st January 2012…so there is still time to get our Christmas digi stamp ‘Love came down at Christmas’ if you missed out earlier this week!

Now, on to today’s card. I thought I’d show you something other than a Christmas card (although I really do need to get going with mine if I’m going to make the last posting date!). So here is a birthday card, again, using the Nellie Snellen image called Hokey Pokey! Such a versatile little stamp! The sentiment is another of my favourite Molly Blooms text stamps ‘Just for You’ – love the little hearts and flowers!

 Here’s a close up of the image, coloured with copics

…and some close ups of the embellies…mmm such gorgeous ribbon and I love the sparkle of that heart button… I’ve just got to have my bling!
