Little Claire New Releases - Whoop, whoop!

New Year's Eve...................a day I always feel so uncertain about......making sure everything is in order ready to welcome in 2014..................am trying, I have a list and yes am crossing things off!

Well at long last I am able to share a few of my recent makes using some of the new stamps being released by Little Claire - they are so, so cute......makes you feel all is well.......beautiful flowers and cute characters - almost announcing the welcome arrival of spring..........

On with the shares:


Firstly Hunny Bunny - the tulip border stamp will be shared tomorrow.......I have paper pieced the bunny........I think this will make an ideal Easter / Spring Birthday card / Thank you / Get Well etc etc.

 
Butterfly Bunny - such a cutie again many, many opportunities for this beauty.
 
 
Up, Up and Away.......this design certainly brings a smile.
 
 
and last but by no means least Tulip Bunny - another paper pieced image........certainly very easy to use........and very versatile.  Am off for a quickie look at my fellow design team members makes.......more to follow in the next couple of days.
 
Please visit Little Claire's Blog and leave a comment as directed to be in with a chance to win 5 of their new stamps......yes each of these plus a cutie teddy bear.......am struggling to choose my favourite at the moment :)

Little Claire December Blog Challenge 40.

Time to share a few makes for the latest Blog Challenge with Little Claire - Make a gift.
At the primary school where I work the KS2 pupils take on an enterprise challenge at the Christmas Fair.  I am currently working with 2 Year 6 classes and they came up with the idea to use recycled jars, painted with glass paints, beaded handles to hold tea lights.  They also undertook a study of which size jars to use and also retail prices.

I contact Gill at Little Claire re their amazing outline stickers - and very generously was sent a massive selection for our use.............Thank you so much.

Here are just a few of the many tea light holders created.......they were so popular that we have orders on backlog...............
 
 
 

Here is the prize from Little Claire for this month's challenge:



Man Made' paper pad
Little Claire 'Stopwatch' stamp
Little Claire 'Seascape' stamp
'Men' die cut sheet x 2
Assorted male themed outline stickers x 4
Papers (4 designs)
 
Why not have a go at entering and sharing...............we all need inspiration to spark those individual ideas.
 
Off to check out my teamies................xxGaynor
