Hippy Chick!

Hello Friends, just popping by to show a card which I made as part of a commission of three. I was asked to make three cards for young ladies who were off to Uni for the first time. Not easy! I decided to use Simply Sassy stamps as they are so versitile and lovely to colour. This stamp is one of my favourites and decided to use autumnal colours. I think the colours work really well, what do you think? I'll pop the other two on in the next couple of weeks. Anyway here she is:

Simply Sassy stamp - Hippy Chick

coloured with Promarkers

Papers First Edition - New Leaf

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts

Friendship

 

Hello all, I keep apologising for my lack of blogging and I have every excuse under the sun, but I am truly sorry for the lack of posts and comments. I have a few personal issues that I am dealing with at the moment and today is a good day, so thought I would post a card I made for the friendship swap over on Docrafts. When I made this card a couple of weeks ago the sun was shining and was very hot! I'd like to know what happened, the last couple of days have been awful. Anyway here is my bright and cheerful card. I hope you all like it.

It's Snooze O'clock

Hello Friends, I hope you are all having a good weekend. I hope you are getting some crafting in? I'm having a crafting day with the Olympics on in the background. Anyway I've made a male card, not one of my favourites. I do like things to be girlie, but I was really pleased with the way it turned out. I've used another new die, Tim Holtz's 'Weathered Wood Clock die and as I didn't have the right colour for the design I coloured the paper using distress inks. So here it is.

Ingredients for Card

Fizzy Moon 'All About Him' Stamp

coloured with Promarkers

Papers are Papermania 'Bookprint and Portobello Road'

Tim Holtz Weathered Clock Die

Martha Stewart Punch

Nesties

Card Candi

I thought I would give this card to the boyfriend for his birthday as this is how he looks when he's not working and especially when sport is on the TV!  Have a great week ahead and lets hope the sun comes back, it's blooming dull here in Southend.

Watering the Roses

Good Morning, you may have noticed I've given my blog a bit of a makeover. I found this background and thought it was apt, as I'm a Type 1 diabetic. You would think in this day and age that we would have a cure for this awful disease. Hopefully one day soon!
Anyway on to my card that I've made and isn't this image so cute? It's a Stampavie one by Penny Johnson - Little Tobi Watering the Roses. So here it is.

Hello Peeps,  I know it's been a while and I know I'm a useless blogger. I have lots of reasons for not posting, but it would take a lifetime to tell you and I think we would all rather make some cards.
Also I've heard a rumour that we are expecting some summer weather this weekend, what do you think, are those pigs flying yet?
Anyway now that my mojo is back I've managed to make some cards recently and I have one to show you today and here it is.

I so adore this image from Lili of the Valley and it's the first time I've inked her up. I treated myself to the Tim Holtz - on the edge doily die and I love it and think it works perfectly with this card.

 Lili of the Valley Image coloured

with Promarkers

Lucy Cromwell Papers from Papermania
