Hello my crafty friends,
Last weekend I ran a Cricut Class in preston and use the Groovy Times cartridge. It has lots of very 1960's Austin Powers type designs but I wanted to make something comppletely different with it. Something that maybe you wouldnt have thought could have been done with such a specific cartridge.
I have posted the instructions below.
Enjoy
Melanie.
P.S it is very important that you keep the flower shapes in seperate pile according to the instructions, otherwise it is difficult to know which goes with which.

About to Burst!!!!!!
Hello Crafty friends,
I don't quite know how to type a massive squeal of delight but I am sure you can imagine one. I have had a call from Create and Craft to ask me if I can do some shows with the Little Darling Stamps!
Can I? Oh yes!!!! The stamps have just arrived and they are absolutely gorgeous. Spending the rest of the day colouring in with my lovely Copics. I will post you some pictures of my colouring over the weekend. Oh I can't stop smiling!
Stay warm
Love melanie xxx
