A First!

This is my first ever attempt at an easel card and I didn't realise just how simple they are!  Used another of the Fizzy Moon decoupage sets which I bought yesterday with some bits and pieces from my stash.


Big day for me today...off to collect my new car!

Something a Little Different

Bought a few goodies yesterday to cheer myself up and thought I'd have a go at some decoupage for a change as I never seem to find time to colour in images at the moment.  

The layout is very basic but I was trying to use all the new stash I bought instead of leaving it in the bag and just looking at it as I usually do!  The image and papers are a Fizzy Moon set and the bakers twine and doilies are Dovecraft's "Tea Party" collection.

A Card for Amber's Granny

I do love making Baby Girl cards - probably because my children are both boys and we don't have a lot of pink and frills in the house!


Got my Penny Black favourite stamp out (I always seem to use this one for baby cards) plus some Magnolia paper and mirricard and voila!

Sweets for my Sweets

I couldn't let Valentine's Day pass without a little something for the two loves in my life - Lewis and Sam, so made a couple of little tags to attach to their mountain of chocolate!


Both images used are Penny Black so thought I would enter these into this week's Penny Black Challenge, Love and Kisses.

Sorry the photos aren't too good but they were taken in a hurry last night while the boys were around!

Chill Out!

I meant to post this card a couple of days ago but have only just got around to photographing it as the light has been bad here.  The challenge on CCT this week is Music and Dance so, as I had this image left over from the last card I made, thought I would make use of her and the leftover papers from the card before that.

Supplies: Image is Whimsy coloured with Promarkers, sentiment is The Greeting Farm; Papers are Magnolia; Cardstock Pink Petticoat; Punch SU; Web ribbon I bought from Bunny Zoe's Crafts and sticky gems are Whiff of Joy.  String was from my stash.

Sorry if the photo is a funny shape but I'm experimenting with iPhoto at the moment to see if it's worth me buying a photo software for my iMac!

Enjoy...

Another two-in-one card today which I'm entering for the Simon Says Challenge "Use Domi's Sketch!" and Whimsy Inspirations Challenge "blue + brown".

Used another of my Whimsy stamps from the Kenny K Collection called "Boogie Down" with some SU papers and a sentiment from Penny Black.

Short and sweet today as it's 3.00 pm and I must get on with my housework!

It's Been A Funny Old Day!

Don't know what came over me today - up until last week I haven't participated in challenges for absolutely ages and then I manage to make a card which qualifies for two - not like me at all! Anyway, I'm entering this card in Papertake Weekly Challenge "Buttons, Bows, Blings and Bloom" and also LOTV "favourite stamp" (by the skin of my teeth!) I love all the LOTV stamps but this is my most recent so at the moment it is my favourite!

I used Promarkers to colour the image, Magnolia papers, Pink Petticoat sentiment and Navy card, Nestabilities, string and punch from SU and button and webbing from my stash.

WOYWW

It's the first time I've taken part in WOYWW and as you can see my desk is a bit of a mess. Plenty of images (mainly Whimsy and LOTV)which I've just started to colour. A couple of cases of Promarkers open at the moment (currently working on skin and hair!), however, my desk will start to get really untidy once I start on the other colours as I never seem to put the pens away when I've finished with them, despite my best intentions!
