Wow it's been such a long time since I created a card... although very rusty I had so much fun colouring this sweet new stamp High Hopes Baking Ginger by the fabulous Artist Dustin Pike. I really must get back to creating a little more regularly!

My card was created using Debbie's great sketch over at our our Bunny Zoe's Craft Challenge blog. Don't forget that each month one lucky player has the chance to win a £25 Gift Certificate!
Ginger was coloured with Prismacolor Pencils using paper stumps and Odourless White Spirit to blend. The cute paper is from the Whiff of Joy Winter Pretties Paper Pad (her little dress was paper pieced with some leftover scraps). Other items used... 4mm flat backed Pearls, 4mm Heart Pearls, Tangerine Pom Pom Ribbon and dark pink raffia lace.
Well the kids have been back at school now for a couple of weeks... Zoe has settled really well into secondary school and loves the variety of lessons. Danni has started Year 2.
I thought I would share some pictures of our new family member Smokey the Maine Coon. Smokey is now 5 months so has been with us since late July. He is such a sweet funny little character and Maine Coon cats sure do love clowning around! It has taken Bella and Gemma a little while to take to him but when in the right mood don't mind a little snuggle with him. Gemma is now nearly 16 so can find his constant energy a tad annoying! Already at 5 months he has reached the size of my two full grown tabbies.
