Elegant Annie

When my DT kit arrived yesterday I was really doing a happy dance - so much so that it took me ages to decide just which stamp I was going to ink up ..... till I saw the gorgeous little stool with flowers. That settled it for me, it had to be a sitting down Annie.I've used Basic Grey Wisteria papers and coloured Annie and the stool with distress inks and Twinkling H2O's.

Yummy!

Helloooo, Louise here,

I've been having another play with Annie, I wanted to experiment with sitting her on different things so I've coupled my experimentation with the Truly Scrumptious challenge (more about that on my blog)

I had a look through my Silhouette templates to see what would work and came across this big book plate template, I think it works really well with Annie sitting on it, I'll definitely be using it again. While I was cutting the book plate I popped the swirls through the Silhouette too, I do like my swirls.

I've been dying to use one of my K&Co Cut N Paste Dessert Grand Adhesions, they're truly scrumptious aren't they....

So, not long now to wait until you can get your mitts on the Annie stamps, I have to say, I'm very impressed with your patience!

Accessories!

Hi folks, Louise here,

I'm back today with another card for you, it's using one of the stamps you've seen before but don't worry there are more to show! I wanted to use this Annie stamp because she looks so lovely sitting on our treasure chest! Yes treasure chest! As well as our adorable Annie images there are things for her to sit on, well we can't have our little angel being uncomfortable can we?

Take a look...

When I drew this image I just knew she would work well with a nautical theme so I was keen to try it out. I was so please with how well her stripy socks went with the light houses.

The words Little treasure were made with rub on lettering, have you found that rub on lettering is difficult to fit correctly into the space you have? I bet you've all used it and found yourself running out of space as you reach the end of your paper, it's annoying isn't it? Well here's a tip for you. Where possible always apply your lettering before you cut into the card/paper THEN do your cutting! It sounds really obvious doesn't it but so often the obvious things come as an after thought when it's already too late.

I'd forgotten I had these little charms but they work perfectly on the lock don't they! I probably got them from Charmed Cards and Crafts because that's where I get most of my stash but I can't be sure... Karen??? The paper is; English Paper Company - Nautical.

Thank you for looking,

Annie...

... Our first little girl is going to be named Annie. I think you'll agree that she looks just like a little Annie :-) I had to have a little play too, and here is a second stamp featuring our little lady.

By now you will probably have gathered that she features in both our banner and blinkies :-)

I'll leave you with her but check back soon for more.....
