Monster Party

The monsoon season arrived in London yesterday, so it was lucky that on day two of our Stay-cation City Break we were taking it easy in the flat, detoxing with homemade pizza, cartoons and playing Lego Batman.

I even managed to make a card! Shock! Using this wonderful cheeky Paper Makeup monster stamp from Quixotic Paperie. Oh I just love him to bits - he looks to me like he has just been busted for doing something naughty like having a party at his Mum's house whilst they where on holiday, what do you think?

The yummy paper is from the fabulously cheerful DCWV Citrus stack and the fibres were hand dyed by my own fair hands :)

    Hi Kim!
    I finally managed to get a hold of papercraft essentials with your cards in it! After what you wrote about it i was looking for this tiny little thing and could not find it... When looking through the magazine for the second time I found your cards, on two pages! I am amazed. I hope I´ll get the mad skills you have one day, and maybe get something of my own published... Congratulations!!

    I als have to say that I absolutly adore your monster cards. He is to cute!!! And I got my Shimmerz and Blingz aand Spritz today :-) I won´t be able to play with them untill the weekend, but at least I know they are home and safe!!
