Spring is in the air?


Dare we say that it is beginning to feel a little like spring here at LC HQ - the bulbs planted in the garden last year have begun to nudge their way up through the ground and we spotted a tiny daffodil hiding amongst the winter debris too.

Today we are releasing a beautiful stamp just perfect for the time of year 'Wavy Sheep' (a big lump of gorgeousness for just £2.00) we think this stamp design is too cute and it makes us squeal with delight (Steve wants no part of this description!)

We love this card (above) from Lynsey and she has paired the design so well with our Snowy Ombre papers, with the gradient of the green grass moving into the blue sky.

So our Wavy Sheep have been released from their Pen and could be running and jumping straight onto your door mat - would you like to win one?

Please leave a comment letting us know what is the best thing you like about Spring and 3 lucky winners will be announced next Tuesday 16 Feb.  And if you can't wait 'till then to adopt your own sheep, don't worry, this fabulous stamp is on sale now just £2.00  WOW!

Competition Winners

We have winners to announce today from TWO competitions, first off are 5 winners who will each receive their favourite Dinkie stamp from our new collection:

CraftyChris who said: Ooh! Hedgehog pots is my favourite! Lovely cards! xxx

Jane Willis who said:  Dinky Chairman is my favourite, I'm always on the lookout for great images for cards for men.

Angela Dodson who said: lovely collection of dinkies, something for everyone, I love them all but if had to choose only one it would have to be the Dinky Hedgehog Pots, so cute and you can stack them up!! :)

Hazel Pepper who said: These are lovely. It would have to be the bee on the flower for my favourite. I love what you've done with it, its so inspiring. I'm thinking of making backgrounds, toppers, tags. Its Bee-utiful!

Daisychain who said: Great cards and stamps but if I had to choose just one it would have to be the hedgehog pots. I can just see the all falling down...

Next up we have 2 winners of our Wavy Baby and Wedding stamps, the lucky winners who will each receive both sets of stamps are:

Jennifer McCann who said: Hi! My baby story is when my second daughter was born. I woke up at three a.m. that Sunday and knew 'we were ready to go'! My husband rang the midwife... 45 mins later when things were getting a bit 'exciting' shall we say, he rang for an ambulance. I made it to the bathroom and there my daughter was born. Minutes later the midwife arrived n apologised that she'd had to wake her student.. The midwife had rung an ambulance plus the ambulance my husband had phoned turned up. That made two midwives, two ambulance crews and the neighbours from next door who came to see what was happening!!! All after the baby had arrived�� One of the ambulance men lived across the road, I couldn't quite look him in the eye after that☺️ 

CraftyChris who said: I love these new wavy stamps! They are wonderful! When I was having my daughter, I have to confess I turned into a stroppy demon! I kept demanding a cup of tea during quite far on labour and the midwife kept saying no cause it would make me sick! In they end, she couldn't stand my moaning anymore and gave me one - you can guess what happened! She was right and laughed a lot. It served me right! xxx

Phew! What a lot of winners, please contact Gill with your details and your wonderful prizes will be sent to you.

  4. Well done to all the winners .....

    The best thing about Spring for me is I always remember when my Grandma use to send a big bunch of spring flowers for my birthday in March. This was such a special treat for me. I miss her so much but spring brings back happy memories of her. Also we are lucky to have green fields beside us as we are in the countryside and I laugh so much with the lambs who run up and down our fence jumping in the air with joy. Wonderful sight.

  6. Oh wow! I can't believe that I am one of the winners! I can't wait for the gorgous stamp to arrive. Thank you so much.

    Without a doubt, my favourite thing about Spring has to be the beautiful flowers making a very dull looking garden bright again.

    Hugs Christine

  7. Spring means lots of daffodils, warm days, able to get out in the garden, and of course lots of cardmaking for all those birthdays during the year and lots of inspiration from the Little Claire girls. Magic.

  8. This is my first time on here and there are sooooo many things I love about spring, for example, lighter evenings meaning longer dog walks. The people I encounter in my job are definitely cheerier as the worst of the weather disappears, but the best thing for me has to be my little bird nesting box in the back garden. I've been lucky enough to have little blue tits nesting regularly for the last 3 years and the joy of seeing the activity of the parent birds is just wonderful. Last year I was lucky enough to be at home when the little ones fledged, I was worried to bits but they all got away successfully and it's one of those treasured memories that will stay with me for a long time :)

  13. About Spring I most like the longer days, sun coming out, seeing all the beauty that's starting to wake up again, the flowers and butterflies.

  14. The thing I like about Spring is all the Daffodil's sprouting up. My mum plants lots of daffodils in the garden every year, and they are already coming up! We have that many daffodils when they grow, the garden is a sea of yellow & we run out of vases and rooms to put them all in!! Love the wavy sheep stamp set, will keep my fingers & toes crossed for this one. Thanks Little Claire

  19. I like Spring because it confirms that we are through the dark months that run from October to March, and once the clocks go forward it's a great relief ! Lovely to see all the flowers breaking through (even earlier this year !), and I think the air feels different too ! x

  20. Spring for me is seeing all the spring flowers popping up, especially through the grass, and of course the longer, lighter days.

  22. Well done winners! Lots of reasons for me to love Spring :) My sleep is partly reversed due to health reasons so lighter nights is a big bonus- means i get to see SOME daylight lol. Also springtime flowers, birds starting to nest, wildlife starting to emerge from hibernation etc :)
