'New'


Good morning everybody and what a beautiful morning it is too! The sun is out and the rain has stopped at long last! but most importantly of all, the boys behaved themselves last night! I went up to check on them at 11.30 pm and to my horror, they were still awake! but they were as quiet as little mice and didn't get out of their beds, so a good night was had by all!

The challenge on Daring Cardmakers this week is:

"....I would like our cards to celebrate 'New'. So not only New Year, but maybe New Home, New Baby, New Job or maybe a card for someone who is starting a new chapter in their life...."

This was quite an easy choice for me as I love making baby cards so I found my old favourite, Penny Black. I stamped it onto white c.s. and coloured with Brushables adding a little Stickles to the daisy. This was then layered onto Pebbles Inc. gingham paper and pale blue Bazzill c.s. with a little piece of "It's A Boy" ribbon. I covered the actual card with the pale blue c.s. and Doodlebug paper and then mounted the image onto it with foam pads. Finally, some Dovecraft ribbon, a Prima flower and a spotty brad were added as a finishing touch.
Hope you all have a good Sunday!

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
