Oh Lazy Day...

Hello me lovelies

On Sunday i went to Doncaster Dome with the ladies from Craft Group...we had a fantastic time & spent a fortune lol

Also i was fortunate enough to meet the Lovely Donna from My Happy Place...what a lovely lady, Donna is a very talented & inspirational lady so please pop by her gorgeous blog & say 'Hi' :D

Donna was doing some gorgeous demo's for 'Little Claire' & i was lucky enough to have a sneak peek at the 'Cutie Pootie' range...only one of them i might add but oh my they are absolutely adorable!!

At the moment 'Little Claire' are holding a competition of naming 2 of the 'Cutie Pootie' stamps and if you win you can get your hands all 6 of the new 'Cutie Pootie' range...how fab is that!!

While i was at the 'Little Claires' stand i thought id have a nosey at their stamps....now i have never used or nor i have any of their stamps till now...oh my god what have i been missing, now you know i love my Nutcrafters stamps & that will never change as they will always be my number 1 but 'Little Claire' are now my 2nd best stamps...they are fantastic!!

Anyhoo one of the stamps sets i bought is 'Lazy Days'...these are fantastic male stamps so i came home & made a card straight away, here it is & hope you like it....
