For the Geisha card I used a kit called chocolate cherry which I got free from all the amazing scrappers that I have linked to on my other blog. It is part of what is called a blog train where various bloggers get together and all make different parts of a kit based on a theme or colour pallet and all put it on their sites on the same day so you can blog hop around and collect it all.

Yay Anya!!

There is now a new blog up and running for Anya stamps and they have a competition this week to follow a sketch and the pic have to be uploaded to their card gallery. I have put them in the gallery but thought I would put them on here too with a couple of extras...... I have been playing around with didgital scrapbooking kits on my other blog and thought I would try and include them in some cards as the papers are gorgeous! For the Alice cards I have used downloads from The greetingfarm (the people that make the Anya stamps). They have been done on the computer so I can play about with the lay out and tweek it as much as I like and not waste a thing. Then when I like it I can print it out just flat as it is or can print it in bits and put it all together so it's still got that hand made feel. The ones in the this post are just as they are saved on the computer but later I will post one I have done and printed out to put together to show you what I mean. What do you think?
