Hi I'm Back

Well we are back from our hols, and we had a great time now back to reality, school runs, swimming lessons, shopping, ironing etc. LOL.

Anyway here is my card which I made last night, it was for Alicia who will be seven on Friday, but I think I might have another go tonight - she wants some stamped images so I thought I might make her a wallet card.

Card self explanatory really, Tilda on Swing, coloured with with polychromics and sansador. Paper making memories, cuddly buddly sentiment stamp, ribbon from stash. You can't really see on the card but I used a shimmering chalk on the back of the stamped image for the sky, it is very soft and subtle, I think I might use my twinkling H2o's next time.

Thanks for stopping by

Not been around

Sorry haven't been around for the last week as I have lots of UFO (unfinished objects), and I wanted to finish knitting a cardigan before we go on holiday. Off for a few days next week, so I won't be posting for a while.

And Another One (ATC)

Well I was on a roll sorting out my scraps so I made another ATC, same image as yesterday as it was already coloured in and went with these papers.

My First ATC

Had these ATC blanks around for quite a while, and had coloured in more than one image, so while I sorted out the scraps from earlier, I quickly made this up. Going to have to do this again, it was such fun, and only took moments.

Papers - Creative Memories

Flower - Prima

Brad - Poppicrafts

PWC - Katharina's Sketch 3

This is my first attempt at this challenge which I really enjoyed doing, one of the reasons is I have a child free day, as the girls have gone to my friends in Emsworth and Mark is picking them up later after he has finished work, YIPEE playtime!!

It's a new magnolia stamp from their Stamp Club (I won the set on ebay this week - am I happy girl or what!). I've coloured her in with my Faber-Castell polychromics and sansador, the papers are by Creative Memories, CS Bazzil Bling with the cuttlebug embossing folder. Sentiment stamp cuddly buddly.

Hope you like, off to the garden centre later and then to work. Enjoy your weekend.

Not the best photo, camera playing up.

Fabby-tast-ic

I was feeling very proud of myself yesterday, as I finished the alterations on my customer curtains thanks to the rain, as the girls and I watched Parent Trap and I sewed. YIPEE.

Last night I made a couple of these cards, the stamp is by Stamping Bella - Fabby - paper and ribbons from stash, just a simple design again but I like it - nice and fresh my hubby said, though this morning he did say I need some fun sentiments - cost money dear I said, but I need to stop buying images and buy words!!!

Have a great day.

A card to me from Alicia

When I went to bed last night I found this card from Alicia. I had given her some Bella images and she had coloured this one in, mounted it and cut out FUN with her cuttlekids machine and dies. The message inside read: To mum, I love you but not all the time. Love Alicia. LOL - the sentiment sums it up!!

Stamp Something

Vanessa from Nessynotes kindly sent me this images, thanks Vanessa. I've coloured it in with Copics, I love these, the colours are so great. I've put a couple of white dots on her cheeks to highlight them (keep seeing this around the blogs and had a go), stickles on her wings, and lots of faux stitching.

I thought I would enter this for the Stamp Something and Friday Sketchers Stamps challenge. I've used the layout from the Friday Sketchers, and faux stitched it with a souffle pen for Stamp Something, as their challenge was anything faux (stitching).

Hope you all have a great weekend, won't be around for a few days as I have a sewing job to do altering a client curtains, yuk, but I keep thinking of the money, LOL. Anita

A Present from Vanessa

I recently sent Vanessa from NessyNotes (she makes fab cards check her out as she is one talented lady) some Bella images, and she kindly sent me these, some of the new Tildas and accessories.Thanks Vanessa I love them and the walleted you sent them is gorgeous, I can't wait to play with these.

I've managed to colour a couple of the images in and tonight I hope to make a couple of cards.

Have a great Friday.

Bead, Beads, Beads

I came across this card I made last year for my daughter Alicia, and just wanted to share it with you, it was one of my first cards I made, and I handmade the beaded fish and seahorse. I think I've improved since then, but I still really like this one. Alicia will be seven next month, so I need to get my thinking hat on.

The stamp is by Woodware, and I made the mermaids tail with fantasy fibre, starfish with bazzil bling, the fibres are from my knitting stash. Number cut with Studio quickutz die.

Thanks for looking.

An Award

Vanessa from Nessynotes has given me this award thanks Vanessa, I'm really chuffed my first award. Ill update later with whom I'm going to pass this onto.

First Christmas Cards

Just a quick post, made these last night, tilda stamp, paper and ribbons from stash. Have found a greeting which I am going to add later but I need to borrow a round punch from my friend Amanda (I'm waiting for mine - it is on order!!). Anyway hope you have a good day. Anita
