Going back to my roots

This is what I love to do..and what I find relaxing..although I studied Graphic Design I was always taught to hold my pen/brush toward the end so you are able to work freely..rather than holding a brush tight towards it's bristles..making quite a "tight" result.. It's been quite nice to go down another avenue with my designs..only trouble is..there are that many avenues and doors..I am going to get myself lost one of these days..lol
I am going to make a card with my makings and will pop a pic on when I'm done.

I love sketching.........yep I think that's one of my favourite things to do....doodle..it's amazing what you can come up with in a matter of 2 mins..about what the above sketch took.

I have decided my next range of stamps are going to be for big girls..although the fairy stamps are extremley popular I think it would be nice for a little variation..lol..lol..so I am thinking romance...soft lavenders...cornflowers.....honey bees......well you will all have to wait and see..x

Free Templates

This is a card I intially done for a magazine...to encourage readers to trace from a pattern, it's a very sweet drawing of rosebuds and summer flowers.
In this photo the image was coloured using H2O's then embossed using clear embossing powder.
It was used here for a contemporary wedding invitation but lends itself to most occasions.
If any readers would like a free template please leave your email details on the contact form on website.
I will look forward to seeing what you all create.

Welcome All...

My name is Sharon and I have been cardmaking and scrapbooking for longer than I can remember..I've always been creative from being a little girl and guess I inherited that from my mum who also designs the cd's and downloads for Willow Designs.
I thought I would kick start this new blog with offering you all a taster of our designs..and to top it all off...yep it's free..even better!!..To get your free downloads visit http://www.willowdesignstamps.com

Didn't get a lot of crafting done over the weekend..I was babysitting for my cousin..so my time was taken up with the little man and entertaining him..I had to step back and evaluate the situation a little as it was getting out of hand when I caught a glimpse of myself through the mirror..dancing to Tweenies..lol.I wouldn't care if it had made him laugh..but he just looked at me as if I were crazy..oh well..he might have a point there..

I think I may have an addiction...there..I've said it now...phew feel a load better for it..lol..lol..ATC ADDICTION...........
