Mimi & Bird/ Jack & Crab
Phew........what a warm one! and it's only 6.30 am. I do love the hot weather but I am finding it very difficult sleeping at the moment due to the heat.
I haven't been online as much these last few days as I have had family staying and have still got Chloe my 9 year old grandaughter for a few more days. Normal service will be resumed at the weekend! Yesterday we took her to Cadbury World and today I think we will take a trip to the Cotswolds where she can paddle in the stream at Bourton On The Water. She has been spending most of her other time here out in the paddling pool trying to keep cool!
Here are two more cards which were shown in Simply Cards and Papercraft Issue 60 'Mimi & Bird' and 'Jack With Crab' Which are available from Pink Gem Designs. Both images were coloured with Ciao Copic Markers

Truly Scrmptious - Frog Prince
I made this card for my soon to be 80 year old FIL.......I hope he likes it and it's not too trendy as he is a bit of an old fashioned boy. I do find making mens cards difficult & especially older ones.
I have followed the latest sketch on The Truly Scrumtious Challenge. I must admit I can't follow a sketch unless it talks to me and this one did......liked it as soon as I saw it!
I have used my Frog Prince stamp which is available from Pink Gem Designs and he has been coloured with Koh-i-noor pencils and blended with Sansador with glamour dust added to the wings of the dragonfly and the crown
The papers are Basic Grey (proper man papers these!)

We have also order new stocks of the Christmas designs we released last week as there are not many left! Who would belive it when we are only just into June!

I made this one last winter but just wanted to give you a preview of one of the stamps soon to be released.X
Awards
I have been given these awards by the lovely Shirely (Nannieflash) and Edna (Edna's Place). These kind ladies have wonderful inspiring blogs so pop over and take look......you won't be dissapointed!
I am not very good when it comes to picking up awards so if I have left any behind please excuse me I don't mean to offend. Life is a bit hetic these days and I have a mind like a sieve at the best of times! Now I am supposed to pass these on and that's another thing I am not good at so I would like to award them to all the lovely peeps who visit the Pink Gem Blog and leave such lovely comments! X
