My pet hates are I heart, the word or a heart shape instead of I love. I also have no time for OXO, really bugs me, and the whole keep calm thing and over-sized glasses and or moustaches just leaves me cold. Sorry too, I think the lightbulb thing sounds desperately boring. Lighthouses, beach huts, sailing boats however, yes I could work with those, for a while anyway, but I live on the coast so maybe easy for me.
Wouldn't it be dull if we all liked the same stuff? I like some stuff on the hate lists here like Stampotique stamps, Alice etc. Hate cutesy cupcakes, keep calm etc
There were a lot of beach hut stamps last summer - even docrafts did some īf you have a look. Michael Powell was the designer and he does them on cross stitch as well.
I love Mr Host's new lightbulb embellishments but am trying to make my own much cheaper versions!
I wait for the day that Frida Kahlo Mexican influenced stuff becomes popular but that may be a long wait....

Swaps - chunky 7 April card swap
I completely agree that the addition of angel wings to photos of living people is really creepy.
I don't have a problem with most of the other motifs - where used appropriately. Birdcages on LOs featuring cage birds are fine, owls are appropriate on LOs featuring sleeping, night-time, woods - but please, not either of them on Christmas cards and beach LOs. Just why? (And yes, I really have seen these.)
ETA, that maybe came out a bit strong, since i know they are so popular but honestly, they dont even mean anything!
