1/LOTV-Sketch

This is my second card and one I have produced for a friend for her cousin who is renewing her vows.
This stamp from LOTV is so versitile that I can use it for this.
I have coloured the image with Pros and added stickles to some details. This acetate behind the image is also from kanban and went well with the papers which are fancy pants roadshow kit from Bunny Zoes. I think I went over board on the swirls maybe I should of held back a bit lol.
I love these little roses from WOC in the blue and as I use a lot of blue they are getting a showing quite alot on my cards.
Thanks for looking

Dressing Up

1/Create4Fun-Sketch

Morning peeps and please excuse me while I have a rant. Bloody fraudsters I hate them, yes I have been a victim, I went to the bank to realise my card has been cancelled. This was due to a bank typing error that got my address wrong and all my personnal details have been going to the wrong address *&**&**&&* to put it mildly the banks mistake and I have to suffer, they have put a stop to all my banking until a new card and the account has been sorted. They had the bloody cheek to sent a new card to this other address and then when I go to find out what going on I get treated like a criminal. Come on Bank you know who you are get your act together. This has really naffed me off has it is pay day today and all the overtime I have done I will not be reaping the rewards &**&&***

Any way now i got that off my chest I thought I would show you all a card that I did using LOTV die cuts. They are super quality and cut back time from colouring, but I miss my pros lol. I had to tweak the image by adding some sparkle as I do love some bling. My trusty swirls came into play also and I think they gave this card some interest. I even had the time to sew the papers down with the machine. I cut out the image with a nestie as the die cuts are spacious and give you the opportunity to do this.

I would like to say a big thankyou to my mum who is my superstar who spent the time yesterday doing these crochet flowers. I was struggling with the lingo on the pattern and mum stuck with it and created these for me. All I have to do is finish them off with brads or buttons. My mum is also going to sit with me and show me how to do these.


Thanks Mum
Hope you have a great day whatever you up too.
Thanks for looking

Mouse Wash

1/Sketch Saturday
2/Bunny Zoes-Vintage

Morning all hope you are all feeling well and enjoying the day whatever you are doing.
My card today is using a housemouse image called Mouse Wash this is so adorable these little mice make me smile everytime I ink them up.
I decided to use a free pack of papers and elements to create this card and the sketch over at sketch saturday suited this down to the ground.
The image is coloured with the pros. I am hoping these papers suit the vintage feel. I think they do has the patterns look old and worn. I ruffed them up using a nail file and then inked them with antique linen. Going to try my hand at crochet today to make some flower elements for my cards, if this goes well I will post some piccies tomoz.
Thanks for looking see you soon
Hugs Toni

5/A spoonful of sugar-Christmas in august

Morning all and look at that yet another triumpt I have managed to enter 5 challenges again, this is becoming a record for me. I also have a little annoucement to make and Bev is offering some free candy over on her blog here. Thanks Bev for the opportunity.

Onto my card for today and its another crimbo card and this one is using an old stamp from last year. This forever friends bear is a cutie and I am glad for the opportunity to ink him up at long last. This card was a challenge with the use of just green for me I really like to mix up colours so it was not a surprise that red had to pop in there somewhere lol.
I have coloured with the pros again and finished of this with stickles it as to sparkle it wouldn't be crimbo without it. I hope this will qualify for the tree-mendous part of a challenge as there are leaves on the card in the papers and image with the addition of the swirls which I think look plant like lol.
I really love the pointsettas and had to curb the urge to add more as we all seem to do, we wouldn't be crafters without this urge lol.
Thanks for looking and enjoy your day

Hi there and boy what a few days I have had. At first my laptop went on the blink and I couldn't get on it at all it just froze. Then when I get that sorted blogger wouldn't let me post, oh how I hate technology at times. So finally this afternoon I can get on and here I am posting lol.
Lets hope this will continue but as I am writing this my laptop is making funny noises oh boy ....
I completed this card at the end of last week and have a few others to post daily if the laptop will let me lol.
I am on an holiday for a week and after finally getting round to sorting my lad out with his gear for school I hope to chill and craft.
I purchased this stamp last week from LOTV and I think he is called James I brought a few on a set. So at last I am getting through my chrimbo cards :)
I coloured him with my Pros and added some pencil for definition until I can get some more colour shades.



This is my first ever tri fold card and it was pretty simple after working out the dimensions. My big shot has also took an hammering with some new dies that I purchased, these swirls are part of a set from Marrianne Designs and I am loving em.
Still waiting for some new papers to arrive any one have an idea when the new magnolia mag is out, i think they will come with my pre order mag?
The day is turning out lovely here the sun is shinning lets hope this keeps up. Have fun whatever you are doing

The weekend is here

1/Mojo Monday-Sketch
2/Pink Elephant-Something Yummy

Morning all and the weekend is here yeepee. Well I have had an eventful week, and exercise as been the main focus as the car is still fated to die lol. I also went to get my eyes tested and found out my left eye is failing what a bummer. I went for some new specs and contacts for the rainy days at work so I can see where I going. My specs steam up and you could really do with window wipers on them lol.
So at least it answers my question to why I have had so many headaches due to loss of sight in the left. Lets hope the headaches carm down now.
Today I have 2 cards to show you all the first is using a new image from mo's and she's called strawberry girl, A total dream to colour. I have coloured her with the Pro's again and followed the sketch over at Mojo, they do some cool sketches over there.
