Pepper and friends.

I just love the new Pepper and Friends stickers. They are thick cardstock stickers with glitter effects. They are just RRP 99p a set which is great value for money.

The three sets I've bought are:

• Just Pepper (top)
• Friends together (middle)
• Buds and butterflies (back)

Below are some examples of how I've used theses stickers.

Cole Photo Frame:

In this example I used DCWV Spring Stack paper to cover a hamemade frame cut from chipboard. I then decorated the outside edges with a Pepper sticker and some bugs. Th summery feel of the photo is reflected in the frame.

Top Tip: When making your own photo frames, stick a card blank onto the back to make it stand up.

Daddy's Girl Card:

I'm really loving personalising my cards with photos at the moment. I used DCWV Spring Stack paper as a background and cut the greeting from a cosmo cricket 12 x 12 page (Everafter: Elements). I think the hedgehog adds a cheeky touch.

Thinking of You Card:

I cut the greeting from a cosmo cricket 12 x 12 page (Everafter: Elements) and used some patterned paper from my stash mounted onto a blue base card. I really love this Pepper sticker as he looks like he's lying in the grass daydreaming.

My Ring

The photo cord thing is working again, so as promised a picture of my beautiful diamond ring. Very excited about becoming James' wife. x
