Little Cotton Rabbits and Copics

Hi there, well last night I had time to make some cards as I had managed to get the children to bed early (before 6.45pm - YIPEE). This is one of them, I'll post the others later, when I have a moment to take some pictures.

The stamp is the new Little Cotton Rabbits from funky kits, and I've coloured her in with my copics, I have to say these take a little bit of getting used to, but they are great, you can layer up the colours for more definition. I've found the lighter colours easier to use, as you can layer up the colour to get more depth, as you can see round her face. I found a great blog called http://www.scrapstamper.blogspot.com/ she does great tutorials, check her out.

Hope you like, I'm off now to deal with Arthur out pet hamster as he passed away last night, and I need to find him a box, my mum has offered to let us bury him in her garden, as we don't really have space in ours. So we will be have a hamster funeral on Saturday for him with Alicia and Charlotte.

Hope you all have a good day.

Happy Birthday Mark

Well my hubby is 42 today. So Happy Birthday Mark.

I suddenly realised last night when I got in from the hospice that I had not made him a card. So there I was quickly trying to make a card, luckily he was to involved in the DS playing scrabble and never noticed me rummaging around in the cupboard. Seeing this only took twenty minutes, I'm pleased with it and so was he.

My friend Linda and my in-laws are coming round this afternoon for dinner, so I better get on with the lemon meringue pie, so enjoy your extra day off.

Stamps: Edwin Magnolia, Hero Arts

Papers: Provocraft

Brads: Papermania

A Lola Girl

Just mucking about with some paper I had lurking in box, and came up with this. I have to say I actually like this.

Hope you all have a Good Easter Break, though both Mark and I will be working this weekend. Oh well. Bye.

Not Such a Good One

You know how it is you have an idea in your head, and when you start to play it doesn't come together. Well this certainly was this, not one of my best my six year old daughter said. I have to say I think it looks better than it did last night, but I can't really say I like it. What do you think?

The stamps are Art Impression bird house, Sugar Nellies Lola, and the paper Karen Neuberger I think. The frame is cut with Quickutz revolution die on my wizard machine.

Thanks for looking hope you have a good Wednesday.

New Stamps

Well I did have time and the inclination to play last night and made this card. It is with one of my new Penny Black Stamps from my trip to the Glitter Pot, I've coloured with polychromics and used sansador, there is a little bit of decoupage (the bees) and the papers are doodlebug. Not bad I think when you are feeling tired after an evening at work, though I was rather annoyed when I knocked the bees and got silicone glue on other parts of the card, so this morning I sat there picking it off. I did make another mistake when using my nestabilities and tried to be clever when I embossed the wrong side of the image, so there are two embossing lines - oh well my friend Jenny won't mind, I just wanted to send her a card to say hello and see how she is doing in her new home.

Have a good Monday.

Knitted Babe

Alicia wanted me to show her knitted Babe I made her for Charlotte's birthday last month, the photography is not mine but hers, not bad for six? The Babe has been named Snowdrop and has a selection of knitted and sewn clothes, it has been a huge success. Rather unusual looking though.

Pictures of purchases from Glitter Pot

Well just before I go off to work, I thought I'll show you my purchases I bought from the Glitter Pot on Thursday, maybe I'll be able to play later or tomorrow.

I've just been on the Sir Stampalot website and it's sitting with magnolia and other stuff in the basket, oh what a dilmena do, I buy or not.

The Glitter Pot

Had a fab day out with my friend Amanda today, went to the Glitter Pot, what a wonderful shop, stamps, more stamps, paper and lots of yummy things. I'll post a picture a bit later when the kids have gone to bed and the hubby to the gym. Had to laugh though as we went into the shop three times, I don't think they ever thought we were going to leave. Bought some great stamps, been wanting some word ones for ages, and they had a great range of Hero Art clear stamps, so I bought those, some Penny Black, a selection of papers and flowers, can't wait to play, but that won't be until sunday, as we are out for dinner tomorrow, and I work Saturday evening, Oh well, that's life.

Sweet and Pink

I coloured this image in last week, and finally got round to making a card. I know I did it the wrong way round, choose your papers then colour the image in. When hunting for paper, I was quite surprised I did not have that many pink papers, maybe I will have to go and buy some. Off to the Glitter Pot tomorrow, so let see what happens.

Anyway as you can see it is a Magnolia image, don't know the paper just some from my stash, flower from a wizard die on bazzil paper and bling doodlebugs. Rather pleased with this, simple but effective my hubby said.

Card for Jason

Feeling rather tired yesterday, even though I had not done anything really all day, coffee with a friend and a relaxing afternoon with Charlotte, so I was feeling very uninspired when I realised I had to make a card for my nephew, so this is not great, but it will have to do. Sorry Jason.

PIF Candy

I won some PIF candy from Frances last week, so now I have some candy up for graps, you know how it works, the first three people who leave a comment win some candy.
