The Fabulous Card & Gift Blog


We were very excited last week here at Squashed Rainbows when the lovely Charlotte contacted me to ask if i would mind if she featured some of my cards and illustrations on her Card & Gift blog. Of course I was flattered and within a matter of hours the beautifully put together blog post was live for all the world to see.

A little bit about the Blog in Charlottes own words:
Card & Gift Blog began in December 2009 with an aim to showcase the best in the world of Cards and Gifts. With seven years experience working in the industry I'd got to see so many fabulous products from so many talented designers it seemed a shame not to share them with the world. So with little steps Card & Gift Blog was launched into the world of blogging. The online world has introduced me to so many brilliant websites and so many talented designer-makers that there's always plenty to
blog about.

Big thank you to Charlotte for featuring Squashed Rainbows x

Hampton Court Flower Show 2011



Ah what better than abit of flowery inspiration! I just love it! Beautifull glorious sunny day down in the fabulous setting of Hampton Court Palace, 4 ladies set off for the super friendly day out that is Hampton Court Flower Show.

From Alice in Wonderland of Roses to Gardens at Night, Small Gardens, large gardens, upside down gardens and even a bright neon pink garden it was a treat for the green fingered eyes!

Catch a glimps of David Watkinson Sculpture: how amazing is the conka?!



I particulary liked the Scare Crow competition, each entry submitted was by a local school - Very creative entries! These are 3 of my favourites...
