It's 2 years ago today that my adorable Grandson made his appearance into the world. He is THE most precious little person and I adore him!

 

As with all boys he loves anything with wheels so the 'I Dig You' stamp set was an obvious choice for his card.

Passionettes Spring Mini Blog Hop

Hello & welcome to the Passionette's Spring Mini Catalogue Blog Hop!

Monica (Passionettes Team Leader) came up with the idea of showcasing something from each double page of the gorgeous new seasonal catalogue, brilliant idea!

Fingers crossed you will be inspired by all the projects our team has created for you.

You should have arrived with lots of inspiration from Erica's blog HERE

I'm showcasing the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit from page 18/19 (£11.95) of the seasonal catalogue. As my regular blog readers will know I love Crumb Cake and have a fixation on Pool Party at the moment so this kit was perfect for me, so without further ado here are the projects I made with the scrummy kit.

Hopefully you have taken a little inspiration from my offerings and can hop on to Izzy's blog HERE for a little more!

Have fun and enjoy!
