Charming.

This is a card I started to colour in the other day and then just put it all together tonight:



The papers are freebies from a magazine. The image was sent to me by one of the lovely ladies on MSE and coloured with promarkers. (Sorry cant remember who - I think 2 people possibly sent me the same image -isnt it gorgeous). The flower and pearls are from Sarahs cards and the butterfly charm from Nutcrafters.

I would like to enter this into:

I love promarkers - charming.

Thanks for looking xx

Big congrats to my neice.

This is a card I made for my neice who did really well in her GCSE's (obviously takes after her aunty - cough! - not).

The image was sent to me from MadFrog at Sparklecrafty - after I left a comment on her blog - how nice was that - thankyou!!!!


I have coloured the image with promarkers, and backed onto craft paper and a free background from the frugal crafter after spotting a link from the cupboard under the stairs. Finally just added little pearls from my stash in two corners.

I would like to enter it into the Stamp Something - Back to School challenge.

Thanks for looking xx

I've made a start!!

Well, after seeing loads of beautiful Christmas Cards, I have given in and made one - I was trying really hard to hang on, but no I've had a little potter on this morning:


Now I was going to enter this on the Just Magnolia challenge blog but am not 100% sure it will be ok as the top is slightly different but I am sure if the top or the image (magnolia/tilda???) are not correct they will let me know.

Anyway, I will have a go, so I would like to enter it into the:
Just Magnolia challenge - sketch.
Crazy Challenge - never too early for Christmas
Creative Cottage - Christmas

Secret Crafter - Make a start on Christmas
Totally Gorjuss - Christmas in August

Thanks for looking.

(hmm looks like I've got my Tildas & Magnolias mixed up again!!)

Ain't mushroom...

When the boys have their x-box time I get time to faff on (although really I do get a bit more when they go out to play!), when really I should be doing housework!!

This afternoon I have made this card:


Sorry about the rubbish photo :-( I have used Basic Grey papers and a freebie image from Spyders Corner which I have coloured with pro-markers and added Anitas 3'd to the red circles on the mushroom - hubby was quite impressed by that - its the first time he has commented on a card without being under duress lol - he even asked for a touch - lol (of the 3d gloss!!!). Small adhesive pearls from Sarahs cards.

I would like to enter this into Spyders challenge &
Papertake Weekly challenge - recipe. (1 image, 2 papers & 3 embelishments)

Thanks for looking xx

Finally sorted out my font!

Just a quick post to show the finished elephant card with the sentiment on (at last!!). Finally sussed how to do it this morning with tempers fraying between me & my hubby as to who knows best!!! 'Just follow the instructions I have been sent!!! - grrr' - lol



I was also going to post the card I had sent to Dragonllew as part of the Crafty place card swap but I deleted it (by accident!!) - DOH!!

However, here is a pic of the beautiful one she sent me:




Thanks for looking xx

It would be rude not to!!! LOL

Evening all, hope you are all better than the weather... its not stopped raining ALL afternoon!!! So while my eldest was at his Nannas and youngest had an hours play on the pooter (we were supposed to be on a date - dont ask!) I managed to make a card for the little baby boom that is around me at the moment - but why do I keep going for pink - aargh!!


I got this lovely freebie image from Spyders Corner, which I have coloured with pro-markers. Lyn (Spyder) had left a comment on one of my recent makes and mentioned something about a freebie. Well, you have to check it out dont you... it would be rude not to!!!! Her blog is fabby with loads of lovely makes and lots of helpful info.

The card isn't finished yet as I need to pop the sentiment on, which I am trying to do after spotting a lovely freebie font on the blog that Spyder had kindly left a link for. I have downloaded it but cant do anything with it, so hubby is going to have a look when I have finished this post.

Spyder also has another blog with digi downloads to buy - which I have just been and ordered one which will come in very handy!! I'm supposed to be on a stash ban - but it was only 99p - I know I wont buy a newspaper for 2 days - if my oh asks - lol!!

Pink Gem has more lovely candy!

I was lucky enough to win some Pink Gem Candy and it was lovely - their stamps are GORGEOUS - why not pop over and have a bash at winning some candy!!
