Hellooo...

... ooh its blooming freezing here!!!!  So its just a quick post before the kids come in and I have a cuppa to warm up:

This is a card I have made for my niece who has just recently got engaged.  The image is LOTV coloured with promarkers and some stickles added to the flowers.  I have matted this onto orange card (as I have tried to pick out the colours in the top paper) Then punched green card and added pearls from my stash.  The papers are Echo Park and with a freebie sentiment from Netty.  Which have again been matted this time onto pink paper.

I would like to enter this into:

Right my fingers are freezing - enjoy your night and stay warm.

Thanks for looking

Good Evening...

... just  a quick post before I nip in the bath to get ready for the start of I'm a Celebrity - although not reckoning much to this years line up - so I may not watch it all :-(, we'll see how it goes (although I must say I'm surprised to see Rebecca Adlington in there!)

Right, the card I'm blogging tonight is for my hubby :

I've also taken a photo of the insert -I'll have to admit I saw the sentiment on Pinterest and have pinched the idea:

The image is a Meljens design which was a freebie last year I think - I have coloured it with promarkers and added fluffy stuff to his had and stickles to certain areas of the snow.  I have die cut the snowflake and added a pearl from my stash.  The papers are Dovecraft again and matted onto red card.

Eeeh - another post!!

Check me out posting again!!  My posts are like buses - none for ages and then loads all at once!!

This is just a quickie though as just about to start preparing the tea.  Here's my mums Christmas card:

The image is another Pollycraft image coloured with promarkers, Sakura glitter pen to her want and glitter added to her wings.  She has been layered onto silver mirricard as has the sentiment and matted onto Dovecraft (?) papers and then added some holly that I punched with my Martha Stuart punch.  She was a delight to colour.

Hellooo...

...hope you are all well.  Today I've had a lovely day colouring images at Janines crafty club - I'm pleased to have a couple of images under my belt and just get the layouts sorted :-).

I'm also here to quickly blog my other sons christmas  card:

The image is a Pollycraft freebie coloured with promarkers.  The papers are dovecraft I think matted onto red and white card.  The sentiment is just my own done on word, and added a north pole sign that I had in my stash.

Ooooh, aaaaahhhh...

... yup bonfire night is here and I'm afraid I'm being very boring.  We normally go to the big firework display but this year my hubby is on nights and as he is in charge of parking etc and knows all the back streets I'm being a wuss and staying at home.  Luckily the boys dont mind and from where we live we can see them in the distance so we can get to see some of the display from the warmth of our house - the display is to the music of Queen so I might pop one of their cd's on lol.

Anyhoo, back to blogging.  I'll just quickly blog this card I made using a Tiddlyinks image:

The image has been coloured with promarkers (the image came with a sentiment which I printed inside but forgot to take a photo - doh!).  The paper was a freebie with a magazine ages ago and I have then used pink and green card from my stash and added a paper flower and crochet flower from my stash as well.

My first blogged Christmas card...

... second one made but first one blogged (if that makes any sense - lol).  This is a make for my eldest - ooh its hard choosing images for a teenager (a fussy one at that!!).  So having a look through all my downloaded digis I came across this one, which was a freebie a long time ago from SJ's Little Musings:

Hmmm it looks a bit washed out there - it was a bit of a grey day when I took the photo, anyhoo, the image has been coloured with promarkers.  The papers were from a magazine which were matted onto mirricard  I have then added twine, grey pearls from my stash and added a freebie sentiment (thank you Netty).
