Beret Tilda

Been busy the last couple of days, seeing friends and families during this spring break/late Easter hols.

Made this card on Tuesday night, and two others with the same colours but slight different - might have noticed that I've been producing more than one - have decided to do this as I've got all the stuff out, and I just alter each one slightly eg. ribbon. As you can see it is another Tilda, one of the new 2008 ones. Really like this image, she is very cool. I've coloured her in with copics, papers K&Co, cardstock bazzil basics, ribbon from stash and zoomzs (the beads) from Stamp Galaxy. I've doodled around the edge of the bazzil (had a bit of wobble - and I hadn't had a glass of wine!!).

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Hanna for Liz

Three postings on the trot that must be a record for me!!

The first card was made for my friend Liz as it is her birthday next week, it is shopping Hanna, as Liz loves to shop, especially for her house which she is hoping to move into this month, she's been having it built for the last 10 months and is desperate to move out of her temporary home. Hopefully everything goes to plan. The second card is for my stock, and has no greeting as yet, I'm just about to order some more greeting stamps from Stampin Up via StampingCaz Stampers Ten, when they arrive I will add.

Anyway back to the cards, they both are Hanna as you can see and I've used up the scraps of paper from yesterdays card, adding just a little bit of a new sheet, have to say I really like this paper it is by K&Co again, and part of 8x8 pack, so everything co-ordinates - makes life so easy.

Coloured in some Magnolias last night, so come back tomorrow to see them, I'm going to use some more of these papers.

I did have time to yesterday to make some more cards, but before work, the girls were tired after playing in the snow and had sat down to watch Oliver. So out came my crafting stuff, these took about an hour to make, though I had coloured the images in last week using my copics. I am still getting used to them, and I don't think I have coloured them in as well as some of my other cards.

The papers are K&Co, die cut flower by Quickutz (I haven't used my Squeeze for quite a while so it was good to get it out), wooden butterfly from local quilting shop when I went to buy some quilting supplies - it was in the bargain box, 10 for 50p, not bad eh? Ribbon from stash.

Well the children are off for a fortnight now, so no running around like a headless chicken in the morning, though they have tried my patience this morning by pouring honey all over their chairs, why I hear you ask, because they wanted to eat it. LOL.

Have a good monday.

Bella for Jenny

In my friend Jenny's birthday this month, so I thought this image was great, as she has a new baby and is sleep deprived and I know how much she loves her PJ's and her bed. While I was making one I thought I would make another two, as you can see they are all slightly different.

Hope you all have a good sunday, I'm off to work this evening when I get back I might sit down and make some more cards.

Its Snowing!!

Well my husband can't quite believe it, but we have snow, the girls have been out this morning building snowmen, so I thought I'd just post a picture of them enjoying themselves in the garden.

Woof, Woof

Charlotte has gone to nursery and mum is having her this afternoon, so after not such a good night as we had a visitor in our bed for the third night on the trot, I am feeling rather tired, so instead of cleaning I'm having some time for myself.

So I decided to spend my extended free time card making (plus a bit of knitting - a cardi for Alicia).

I've had this stamp for quite a while and this is what I came up with (the inspiration came from http://www.inknrubba.blogspot.com/), I have to say I really like these and enjoyed making them. I've coloured the image in with copics again!! and used papers by doodlebug, prima flower and flowers, ribbons and ric rac brad from http://www.poppicrafts.com/ (she does fantastic ribbon kits, check her out).

I hope you like.

Another Rabbit

I've really enjoyed playing with this stamp, I have to say I just love her dress. I've used copics again and layered up the colour to add depth to the face. As you can see this is a very simple card.

Hope you like, off now to do the cleaning, LOL.

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

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.
