Hi all sorry haven't posted for so long had some family issues with both parents having minor ops and I have been caring for them. But now the kids are back to school and life should get back to normal I hope.

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.

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

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

My specs steam up and you could really do with window wipers on them lol.

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.

Hi all well I survived the exercise just about but my feet are on fire ouch, this is because I have been standing all day I work in Aqua Sauna at Center parcs today doing the washing of robes and towels. I also make sure the changing rooms are tip top. It is hard work and today to top it off they got an order of new robes which had to be washed. Imagine my face to find out I was also working alone lol. This job is usually a two man job.

So needless to say I shall sleep like a baby tonight lol.
Onto my card and its for just mag I truly love these images and tried something different with the Promarkers not sure I like this blending of colours, oh well its done now.

2/Create4Fun-Sketch

Hi peeps I know 2 posts in one day, a 1st for me in a long time.
Well before I get onto my card I want to have a rant about my Son's school.
Would you bloody believe it, but after walking half a mile to school this afternoon with a swollen ankle(due to mosy bites the ******** ate me alive last night and now I in agony and badly swollen)
They had moved the sports day to this morning due to forcast of rain. Nice of them to let parents know hey, as my son walks to school I didn't see the notice.
So glad he got 2 days and he out of there.



Sorry for the rant, so when I got back I went to my craft heaven and created this card. These little beauties are adorable, I don't know why I never purchased these before. I think these House Mouse could be a new love for me lol.
I coloured with promarkers and some experience I think I could be getting better.
Off to rest this ankle the pain hurts :(
At work tomoz and then my Sons graduation cermony (if they don't cancel)
So may not be a post, but you never know with me

Hi there seems like forever since I was last posting, been busy with costume makes and bracelet makes for peeps at work. I am also enjoying a day off work before the long shifts are back.
I think that is why my mojo disappeared been so busy at work with long shifts and was so tired, when I went to my craft room yesterday I just sat and stared, it was so fustrating not knowing where to start. Not like me but I had to go lie down for some much needed kip lol.

After catching up with some browsing on a few blogs I came across a new challenge blog and Digi images called JUST INKLINED wow what a laugh these images are. Thanks Mina for pointing the way. I downloaded this free image called Albert and hey presto the Mojo came back lol.
I coloured this chappy with DInks and Whispers Markers, with some touches of gold and silver markers. The papers are from MME and I have deciced to try and get some more papers as I am getting a little bored. I also used an MS punch Doily and created a border following Sketch Saturday. The sentiment is from an old stamp set from creative expessions and says it all me thinks lol. I finished with ribbon and buttons from my stash and hey presto the card is complete.
Thanks for looking

Oh What a week

1/Truly Scrumptious-Sketch with option of strawberries and cream

Hi peeps here I am finally with a post and 3 cards for you. I got these complete before my week turned upside down. First thing was a hectic weekend of 12 hour shifts . Then I got a lift home on friday night and was involved in a car accident, so now I have whiplash and the pain is unbelievable, my neck has been so sore everything has been put on hold. No crafting and I am really missing out on stuff sorry I haven't been posting but this is the reason why.
Then today I check my email and got turned down for a DT post. So I am feeling pretty sorry for myself.

When I was fit my card was done using reds and wow I think this could be a new colour for me. I coloured Melinda with Twinks & Dinks I love this WOJ image.

Hi Peeps hope everyone is enjoying the sun. I am at work alot this week so may not get round to blogging so much :(
This weekend and tomoz I have some 12 hour shifts, been busy there all week and it shows on this card. OOopps I seem to have stuck the image on slanted, lack of sleep & the heat lol.



Here is a piccie from the side sorry piccies are bad this evening light isn't so good for photos. I have coloured this adorable tilda with DInks. I have eaten so many strawberries lately I may turn into one. I recycled the buttons & ribbon from an old top I was throwing away. I kept this simple has red makes a big statement I think.
Thanks for looking

3/Mo's challenge-Dry Embossing

Hi peeps hope you are all enjoying this gorgeous weather we are having. Lets hope it keeps up :)

My card is for all the boys who simply love pirates, I don't know any that aren't fond of the old and new pirate films out there.
I got out my old embossing stencils and used them on this card for Mo's challenge of dry embossing. I used Captain Hugh and elements from Mo's shop. I love these download images they are fab. I have coloured with whispers markers, I think when I find a good deal I will purchase some copics and give them ago.

Thanks for looking enjoy the evening

Ice Cream oh How hot is it today

1/Papertake weekly-Ice cream colours
2/Sketch Saturday-Sketch

Hi peeps How hot is it today? Wow I am glad to be home from work and a chance to cool down. I work outdoors and this weather is a killer lol. Never happy either to hot or raining lol.

So onto my card and I chose Mint Choc Chip as my favourite Ice cream and I could just eat one now.

I have used another fab image by Kenny K and this one is called Rock Chick and she is cool. I really enjoyed colouring her in and I did that with whispers markers. I think I may be brave enough to give copics ago. Does anyone know where I can buy a beginners set to get me started?

I guess I better go and get some tea, I shall be back tomorrow so see you all then.

Hi peeps what a gorgeous day it is here the sun is shinning and wow is it hot. Hope you are all having glorious weather there too. Here is my card for today using 1 of Mo's gorgeous images. He is called Harvard and is ideal for a special teacher card. My son is leaving to go to another school in september. So I used the challenges to make his teacher a leaving card.



I have chosen to colour Harvard with Twinks and DInks. Above is a close up of the image. Sorry my photography on this close up is shocking. The papers are a download from nitwits. As this is going to a male teacher I thought a few buttons would be appropiate.

DIVA

1/Cute card Thursday-Anything but Square
2/Bunny Zoes-Nice & Girly
3/Mojo Monday-Sketch

Hi Peeps where as the week disappeared too? I really went to town on this card and wanted to do something really special as it is my mums birthday next week. I have the challenge of doing a card from the girls at work for her. We work at the same place so here is what I decided on. Not that my Mum is a Diva but the image makes me smile everytime I look at it lol. Its called DIVA and is from the delightful and talented Mo.
I love her images and you can always find an image suitable for anybody there please if you haven't been there please check it out. You can get there by looking on my side bar :)
I decided to distress alot of the elements on this card to give it some interest. I have used dinks and scissors. I haven't got round to purchasing a distressing tool yet.
I also decided to use my sewing machine which has been neglected of late. I coloured my image with Twinks and Dinks she really needed to sparkle lol. I created the border with an MS punch but I don't have the corner piece for it yet.
Hope you enjoy looking

2/Mo's Challenge-Easel Card

Hi Peeps here is my second card for today. I feel as though I have neglected my Mo's but out they come today. With my new rubbers to play with I thought it was about time I got my digis out again and thought of leaving cards for the kids, as school will be out for summer soon. These images are great for teachers I will be doing the boy one soon as my lad goes to another school in september.
This image is called Trinity and she is a star to colour. I have chosen to colour her with Twinks & DInks. The papers I have used are from Nitwits and are a download along with the elements.
The challenge was an easel card so below is a piccie of my card from the side.


Here it is :)
