Hello Dear Reader, today i am going to share with you part two of the swap that i hosted. In these swaps everyone sends in 5 swaps and then i send them back 1 of each of the 5 different ones sent in.
Aren’t they fabulous? I love that they’re not traditional colours for a sympathy card which are usually in blacks.
I will be back with the final instalment very soon
Until next time

Good Morning Dear Reader, hope this post finds you well? I will be up starting a batch of fresh bread when this posts ready for a big family dinner after the carnival procession, i love making bread from scratch its a soothing activity.
Today i am sharing some of the swaps from last months swap that i host on ILWS, the theme was Sympathy i shared my swap with you last month in a tutorial.
These swaps were made by Julie and Christa, aren’t they gorgeous?
I love that they have a lovely serene feeling with the muted colours and that they are not dark and miserable, i feel like they would really lift the spirits of someone in the worst moments of their life.
I will share some more of the swaps next Saturday
Until next time

Happy Monday Dear Reader, I hope that the new week finds you well? I am looking forward to a day crafting with my lovely friend Sue.
Today i am sharing the tutorial for the sympathy card that i shared yesterday, It is not a picture heavy post as it is quite a simple card.
So to create your background matt for your image use a clear block as your stamp, this is a great way to add a layer of colour without adding an extra layer of cardstock.
I hope you liked the tutorial, i would appreciate any feedback on my tutorials if you would like to send me feedback then please comment below or email me at craftylittlemoo@hotmail.co.uk
Many thanks
Until next time

Hello Dear Reader, i hope you are having a good weekend?
We are having a quiet one this weekend as next month we have something planned for every weekend, with carnivals, birthdays and the Tour du France coming through the town, we are going to be busy busy busy!
Now onto todays card, the swap that i host on ILWS had the theme of Sympathy this month.
It is a horrible subject but unfortunately we all have to deal with sadness and loss at some point in our lives, so it stands that at some point we will need a sympathy card. I don’t enjoy the reason for needing the card so i make them in advance and have a small selection scurried away, however i actually like making a card that will need to go to someone at the most horrible time in their lives to let them know i am thinking of them.
I tend to make my sympathy cards in muted colours and pare down the ‘fussiness’ so that the thought behind the card is what is the main focus.
I used the Love and Laughter stamp set for this and i will post the tutorial of how to make it tomorrow.
Until next time
