1,2,3 a new PC!

This is my entry for this week's PB challenge,"recipe 1,2,3". I used three Prima flowers, two HOTP papers and one pearl brad. My favourite & most versatile stamp ever for the main image! Well hopefully our new laptop will be arriving today so even thou I still won't have the scanner I will have my own PC. Since borrowing Dad's notebook Ive become a dab hand at photographing & uploading from my camera,so at least Ive learnt a new skill!!! Happy crafting xxx

Christmas & Birthday card challenge

Here is my first ever entry to the "just Christmas & Birthday card challenge" blog. I had to do this as my great blogging buddy Nessy is a member of the DT.

I love this sketch,and have just jigged the elements around a little!

Various patterned papers from my scrap box have been used. Sugar Nellie "picking apples" and die cut flowers with gem centres.

I am missing the scanner still,but am really getting to grips with this little notebook!!!!

Back at last

We had a fab holiday in Devon but came back to find the PC has died,so I am without my scanner

(hence the poor pictures).

I have made an Asian inspired card using handmade papers,inkainkadoo stamped lizard & beads to embellish.

I am trying to make an effort to get more variety with my cards,i am quite pleased with the textured feel & bright colours!

Hope to catch up with your blogs,I am a bit slow as I am borrowing my Dad's notebook.

Happy Crafting ;)

A month has past....

Well I can't believe another month has flown by with no time for crafting or blogging!!! I have started training for my run as well as going down the gym. So this combined with all the usual work & family activities has taken all my time!!!! I am on holiday next week in Devon & plan to do some serious crafting in the evenings. I will pack my craft tote full of goodies and enjoying crafting with a glass of wine or two..... Hope you are all well, & I am looking forward to catching up with your blogs when I get back. love Nessie ;)

Spoon Full of Sugar!

This is my entry for the "spoon full of sugar" challenge blog. This week the challenge was to include a number on your card. This was brilliant timing as I needed to make a 5oth card for my godmother this week!!!!

I used my new PB "garden friends" clear stamp set (so many lovely stamps in this set!). Coloured Bunny with promarkers,mounted on to Anna Griffin paper,embellished with butterfly confetti & organza ribbon.

I must be on a role this week as I have already managed 3 posts this week,that's unheard of lol!!!

Sketch Saturday Challenge

This is my entry for the sketch Saturday challenge. I used a free stamp for the love birds & water coloured with h2o's for a nice shimmer. K & co backing paper and Prima flowers add interest.

Swirls border has been layered on to organza ribbon. The card didn't scan to well but looks nice in reality.

Hope you have all enjoyed your weekend.

;)

Spring in the air!!!!

The above card is my entry for The "CCT" challenge,this week the theme was citrus colours. I love bright colours so this was a dream for me and lent itself very nicely to an Easter card. Stamped image by Funstamps & was coloured with Promarkers. Cuttlebug embossed card with stickers,brads, Prima flower to embellish.

This card I made for my Dad's birthday next week, I used paper from old packaging as I loved the colours & pattern. Penny Black stamped images are used frequently in my men's cards. The greeting was Die-cut. I am looking forward to catching up with your blogs at the weekend.

Fab times!!!!!

Good morning everyone,what a gorgeous sunny start to the week!!! I have had a fab Birthday & Mothers day this weekend, and was very spoilt!!!

I just had time to do a card for the "sketch Saturday challenge", this weeks sketch is lovely.

I used handmade papers cut with my nesties,I have been meaning to use more handmade papers on my cards as I have loads I never use. I am really pleased with the result,they add texture & dimension. I am sure you will be seeing them a lot more now!!!!

I got given a stack of "rubber stamper" magazines from a friend of Mum's this week. I am really enjoying them and they are inspiring me to try lots of different techniques & styles.

Looking forward to blog hopping & catching up with your work tonight.

CCT Sketch !!!!

This is my entry for this weeks CCT challenge, I really enjoyed using this sketch and will definitely be using this one again. I used some free stickers I got from a magazine for the image & greeting. Tag was then mounted on to Anna Griffin papers, buttons & flower to embellish. I also received my new personalised stamp today,it looks quite professional when stamped on the reverse of the cards & envelopes.

Hope you have a great week,I have hopefully got a bit more time for crafting this week as I am off work. Aim to do a bit of blog hopping tomorrow!!!!!

Back at last! with SS challenge

This is my entry for this weeks sketch Saturday challenge. I decided to use an embossed image for the centerpiece instead of my usual stamped one. I am pleasantly surprised with the finished effect.
