Back again...

... I was going to post this at the weekend, but I dont know if I'll get chance so I'll do it now before me and my boys settle down for The Big Bang Theory - we all love this!!

Anyhoo, here's my card:

You may remember from an earlier post I was lucky enough to win 2 digis from Pink Gem - here is the second image I chose - Chloe with daffodils - another joy to colour using my pro-markers.  I have used Kaiser craft papers, a sentiment from Craftwork cards and flowers from my stash.

Just another...

flying visit, bit of rushing around to do in my day off so while I grab a bite to eat I'll just do a quick post, as you do!

This image was a facebook freebie from Make It Crafty and when I saw it I thought it would be suitable for an internet frien (hope she doesnt read this post lol).  she has been coloured with promarkers and little bits of sakura glitter pen (dont think it shows to well in the photo).  It has been matted onto pearlised card and the same card used on the punch strip and what the dp has been matted onto - I have added ribbon and sentiment from my stash and an angels wing charm that was kindly sent to me from Steph with some other lovely goodies - very excited when I received them :-).  Thank you again!!!  Pop to her blog to check her fab drawings and makes.

Have you met...

... the hubby - dont know how but Mo has captured him (lol) maybe a little more streamlined :-) in his building mode and not fire brigade mode:

if my hubby reads this - only jokin' xxx  So as you've gathered its one of Mo' s great images coloured with pro-markers matted onto black card and then the great Amy Tangerine papers which again have been matted onto black card.  This is for his birthday towards the end of the month.

Hmmm..

.. no sure if this is how I imaging it in my head - lol.  I saw the challenge over at Saturated Canary and loved all the images on the inspirational photo and thought I'd have a go as I had a peacock feather lying around - as you do!!  I love Kristas images but never feel I can do them justice - if you know what I mean lol).  Enough waffling - here is my make:

The image has been coloured with promarkers and polychromo pencils and added liquied pearls around her.  The green paper could possibly be basic grey and the green and purple card from my stash and lastly the bling from my stash and the feather came from my sons school project lol.

Good Afternoon...

...hasn't it been a lovely couple of days - but its now trying its hardest to rain here :-(.  My mojo is still with me and been getting a few cards made.  I saw a fabby sketch challenge over at cupcake craft challenge blog thought that looks nice and easy I'll have a little go at that, so here is my make:

I have had the image ages and coloured her with promarkers and added some stickles to her wings.  the papers are MME (I think), that came free with a magazine the pink card is from my stash and added card candy again from my stash.

I would like to her into:

Cucake Craft Challenge - sketch

Next, I made a card for a friends birthday:

 The paper is Papermania and the image was a lovely Sylvia Zet freebie - again coloured with promarkers and matted onto die-cut purple bazzill.  I was feeling brave and stamped the sentiment directly onto the card.

Moving along with the times. - c&s

My last make at the moment is:

 

This is for my bestest real life friend - shocking I know I have real life friends lol as well as lovely virtual friends :-).  The image & sentiment came together from Jelly Park, again coloured with my trusty promarkers the papers are Amy Tangerine with a border from my stash.  I have die cut the swirl and added flowers and a pearl brad from my stash.

Finishing off...

...I'm terrible for starting things and not getting round to finishing them off - however, due to having an extra day at home - all housework done and I've got Jack back to school today so I thought I'd try and get somethings finished:

Finally got my time for tea hanger finished, Margaret Sherry cards - back stitch finished and made into cards, finishing off my alphabet with satin stitch!!!  Finding it hard on evenweave though.


Next I finished my bird hanging (made instead of a mobile) with the goodies in my last Crafty Creatives box

and a cute little caterpillar made with the Jumping clay:

and thats the morning gone!!!
