Good Morning, bit of a blustery day today - but no rain -yay!! Just been noticing how I havent blogged for a few days - seem to be really erratic - it's either lots or nothing, really should try to be more consistant (yeah put it on my to do list - no best not - nothing gets done then - lol).

I was inspired by Angela to make this card - it is quite similar to one I recently made - but I have changed the colours,and added a few little pearls - love the colours, and image -I was so pleased that I was able to buy the stamp recently - think it is suitable for so many occasions - she looks so serene)

Morning, hope you are all well - oooh do I mention the match???? Nah!!

On Friday I went to Angelas who has the blog Sparkly Cards, for a bit of a crafty night making easel cards. Angela had prepped everything before hand so we just had to do our designs etc. I made it very easy for myself and really just copied Angelas, here are the cards we made:




Thanks for a great night - looking forward to the next one!!

Also, this last week been having a bit of a splurge - ordering nesties, stamps etc. I have loved the look of the nesties labels dies for ages so finally bought labels 1 off ebay - well you have to have a little play don't you - so used one of the labels to cut the paper on this card:




I love this card. You know sometimes you make a card and are really pleased with it - that is how I feel about this one - I just love it. lol

Not sure the name of the backing paper as bought it off a lady in America on Etsy.
The image is a digi coloured with promarkers.
The sentiment is one I just printed off word and had an attempt to edge it using a green whispers stamp pad.

Card for a Teenager.

Hi all, hope you are all enjoying the fine weather and tennis (not mentioning the football!!). Although, it is good that when the others are watching matches I can faff on - lol. Here is a card I have made for my nephew:


And with a tenuous link to the green & blue challenge at Die Cut Dreams Challenges here - I would like to enter this card - however, not sure if they are looking for more green & blue, so I will understand if my card isn't entered into the challenge. I would also like to enter it for this challenge at CraftyCard Makers.


The paper I think is from a masculine range.
Image coloured with promarkers ( and I have a new white gel pen - what a difference a bit of highlighting makes.
The image was from Angela at Sparkly Cards (Thank you!!)
I have also crimped some craft paper
Button is from stash & sentiment printed off internet.

Thanks for looking x
