Hellooo...

... Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday - I had a bit of a lazy day yesterday and I am paying for it now - lol, grocery shopping, ironing, mopping floors and helping with homework.

I did have a little play yesterday and made this:

Apologies for the slightly dark photo, its a bit of a grey day here and this was taken outside too :-(.  The image is Sugar Nellie coloured with promarkers and had quite a bit of glitter and stickles added - lol.  The papers I think are dovecraft and embossed whie card matted onto red card  I created the sentiment in word and added a punched snowflake and pearl and then added further pearls from my stash.

I would like to enter this into:

Sugar Bowl (sugar nellie challenge)  - anything goes
Divas by design - pretty in glitter
WinterWonderland - layer it up

Many thanks for looking

Its lovely...

... and sunny here today, so am going to make the most of it and peg some washing out when I've posted this.  This is a card I've made for my youngest to give to his best friend on Sunday when he goes to his laser-quest party:

The image is  greetings farm coloured with promarkers  matted onto pale blue paper.  I have then hand cut some fishtale dies from scraps and matted onto blue card stock.  I have then added button, twind and sentiment from my stash and faux stitched around the card.  Quite c&s for an eleven year old.

I would like to enter this into:

I Love promarkers - include a number - there is one on the sentimet - hope this is ok.
Sweet Stampin - just for men.

Thanks for looking

Good Morning...

... just popping on quickly before I dash out, as I wanted to blog a card I made last night:

As you can see I havent attempted to watermark this lol.  The image is a Whimsie Doodles, coloured with promarkers and matted onto orange card.  The papers are from a Amy Tangerine pad with a sentiment from Craftwork cards.  The sunflower is from my stash and I have die cut some swirls to place underneath the flower.  I have used a kraft card blank that I got from Harrogate.

Oh dear....

...  my mojo has been and gone big style lately.  I havent crafted - although I did do some colouring at a crop to see if that would help - as I have cards that need making, I havent even stitched - just sat on my bum on a night and watched the cycling.  Now thats finished and I'm not doing anything!!!  So last night I had a bit of a blog cruise (my mojo went so much, I didnt really bother visiting blogs either - shocking!!!), to try and kick start my mojo, as well as some (small) retail therapy - yet I still never have what I need - how does that work - lol.

I had an image that I'd coloured at the crop and put that to use:

I've been forgetting to watermark my images and now cant fully remember what to do lol so I am hoping you can see this image ok (I'll have to check with my crafting buddy Janine where I am going wrong!!)  The image is aSugar Nellie coloured with promarkers, ribbon added from my stash - the papers where from a stall at Harrogate ages ago and matted onto white card.

I would like to enter this into:

Sweet Stampin - ribbons and bows

Papertake Weekly  - Oh how cute (I always worry how you define cute - I think the image is cute??) - if its not the type of cute you are looking for, feel free to remove :-) xx

Right off to have a rummage through my papers and images to get inspired.

Thanks for looking
