Easy now...

... I know - another post!! lol.  This is a card I've recently finished for my youngest son:

I'm not sure the maker of the stamp which has been coloured with promarkers and some fine glitter added to parts of the image.  I have then matted it onto red card and green card and die cut some scraps of christmas dp which I think where dovecraft and then added a stamped sentiment.

Helloo...

... oh dear time has run away with me again :-(.  I have been pottering though behind the scenes - hanging on desperately to my mojo but when I read and look around blog land there are lots of peeps suffering with this, so fingers crossed all our mojo's are out partying and theyll be back with us shortly!!!

Here is a card I recently made for Ians brother who has moved into a new home - it was tricky trying to do a masculine new home card - if you know what I mean lol.

The image is a digi from Tiddlyinks, coloured with promarkers and I then had a go at adding a cloud effect with distressed inks - inking over a die cut cloud.  The image has been matted onto black card the dp is Amy Tangerine again matted onto black card.  I have then added a die cut fence and just a computer generated sentiment.

Yoo hoo,

happy Tuesday folks - had a lovely crafty morning and chit chat with Janine and then home to take advantage of the lovely weather and got my washing pegged out - just time for a quick blog post before the boys come in and I have to get tea ready.

The image is a Krista Image for Sugar Nellie, that I bought second hand ages ago and only used a couple of times - I dont know why as I love the image, it has been coloured with promarkers/flexmarkers (until one ran out grrr)  the papers are MME matted onto pink bazzill.  I have then added gems and sentiment from my stash.  I googled a free printable of a library card printed it out and distressed the edge.

Hello, hello...

... hope you are better than the weather, eugh!! its pouring down here.  Had a nightmare morning with a blag splitting full of groceries all over the road, luckily no cars were coming and a lady came to help, but quite a few walked past :-(.

Anyhoo, enough moaning - here is a card, I made a while ago but hadnt got round to blogging:

The image is Dick van Duck from I think Just Inklined (I always love this image his expression says it all!!) - I have coloured him with promarkers on the body and flexmarkers on the hat.  The papers are Amy Tangerine and all matted onto blue card.

Happy Wednesday...

... to you all.  Hope you are all well and the sun is shining where you are.  I've just returned from having a mooch round the shops with mum and going to quickly post this before hubby comes in for some lunch.

This is just a card I've made to have in, I saw the sketch on sketch Saturday and fancied having a go and then I've also been able to link it to a couple of other challenges:

The image is a sugar nellie one (I think) coloured with promarkers, although I think I need to practice hair a bit more!! matted onto green and pink card - I love the green and pink colour combo - but I really need to try new colours to take me out of my comfort zone!

The papers where freebie lotv papers from a magazineand then I've added some gems from my stash.

Ahoy!!

Shock!!  Finally a post from me - it feels like ages (but thats because it is)!!  I'm afraid I'm still having problems with my mojo not wanting to come out to play.  We also had a holiday and I was concerned I'd lost my mojo completely when we came home as I didnt want to do any crafting I didnt even go near my crafty area!! 

Its my sons birthday tomorrow so I knew I needed to get myself out of my funk as he had asked for a homemade card, so that was the kick start I needed - slowly, I'm starting to feel like I want to do some colouring and making again - after a crafty visit to Janine I've come home and finished a card I started to colour there - she's always good at giving me a kick up the bum and telling me not to be so silly - lol. (Thanks hun x)

So here's my card:

The image is a Sugar Nellie coloured with promarkers and fine glitter added to her wings.  The papers are old freebies from a magazine matted onto cardstock from my stash.  I haved added some die cut flowers and leaves (totally taking me out of my comfort zone - I love seeing flowers on other cards but I cant seem to get away with them!).  Then added pearls and a little gem from my stash.

Simon says stamp- use dies, (die cut circle, flowers and leaves)

Thanks for reading and I apologise for not commenting so much recently on blogs, hopefully I'll be back on track :-)
