This week we are being sponsored by talented Designers over at All Dressed Up. You should really pop over and check out the fabulous images they have to share. We always have so much fun working with their delightful digitals!

Hi I am Wendy Burns I live in Nottingham UK with my husband and two children who have been the inspiration behind the characters, in particular my daughter who has kept me up-to-date with blogging and trends. I work predominantly within the textile children’s wear market, fashion and interiors.

I trained as a textile designer and although my work is digital based, I love to retain that hand drawn /sewn feel which I hope comes across in my artwork.

Digital stamps is a new challenge for me and the opportunity to work with the All Dressed Up Team and has been very exciting, in particular the creative way my characters have been given individual personalities by the designers .

All Dressed Up is a newly launched blog with an enthusiastic team who are passionate about stamping. The coordinators Anne Lise and Bettina along with an amazing design team are also known as The Dressy Girls.

We have a friendly Facebook page, regular blog posts, tutorials, challenges and freebies .The stamps can be purchased from the Etsy shop which is updated on a monthly basis.

We really are friendly bunch and would love to see your creations so please feel free to contact us and visit the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog.

Now onto the task at hand, this love we are celebrating the love and this gal right here loves many things and crafting is sure one of them! When I saw this sweet image I knew I just HAD to :)

This card was also inspired by the following challenges...

Stamp Ink Paper - Love theme

First snow brings thoughts of spring... :)

A belated Happy New Year to you all! I have decided that 2016 is going to be a healing, peaceful, low key year for me. There has been a lot that has gone on over the past couple of years and life became way out of sync with what I had pictured. 

I have always loved paper crafting and blogging and did not want to give this world up entirely so I was delighted to be welcomed by Kylie to stay on as Sponsor Coordinator at Addicted to Stamps and More. This means I will take care of things behind the scenes with our wonderful sponsors but I will still be making a card each week to share. 

I am hoping to be able to get to a place where I have time to play along with many more of my favourite challenges but for now here I am, and loving that I can still sneak away for a little bit each week to create with this fabulous team. 

Now on to this week's post...
