Butterfly Wishes

Morning all!

Well Keiran's rash still isn't any better......Think it'll be another visit to the doc's today :( Poor lad, he's so itchy!

So while he slept in a bit this morning (again), I made this little card for the Less Is More Sketch challenge......

This is just some card I had lying around and the butterflies are Martha Stewart. The sentiment is Papermania.

Hope you like it! :)

Gonna go get lunch ready, then take Keiran to the walk in centre I think :(

Poinsettia - Less Is More

Good afternoon all!

I have had a busy day today! Keiran developed an all over body rash and temperature last night so we were at the doc's first thing this morning, then at Manchester children's hospital to get the stitches looked at on his eye. So generally, been all over the place today!

So I have just had time to make this before I pack Keiran off to Jen's while I'm at work tonight......

This a Poinsettia from Craftwork Cards that I had left from last year. I made loads of these, using one sheet of them that were in a pack, then drawing round them and cutting them out. They took ages to make but they really look great! I have made this to enter into the Less Is More - Sketch challenge.

Hopefully, I will get a few more entries in this week :) Mind you, I really have made loads of cards the last few days.......scroll down my blog and check them out! :)

Crafting together!

I just thought it would be nice to post a picture of Jen and Keiran with the cards they made today!

Hehe Jen will hate me for posting this pic of her! Anyway, Keiran is holding the 2 cards he made......my apprentice! ;)

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Well I seem to be on a bit of a roll recently! Here is another card I have made today! I have also made another but it needs a sentiment and some extra bits which I have at home. I shall be heading home shortly after a fab crafting weekend with Jen!

Now this first picture is just to show the accident I had whilst colouring the edges of my image with my freebie Egyptian Blue Flexmarker from Harrogate......

Needles to say, I was a bit miffed! Anyway, thanks to the sketch I had already decided to use, I managed to rescue it, as shown below!

The image is one of Sliekjes fabulous digis and can be found HERE. 

The papers are just from Jen's stash, one is embossed with a snowfall folder and the red is stamped with LoTV music sheet in white Brilliance ink. 

Now I know the challenge shows 3 embellies, which I had added, but I personally preferred it without.

Promarkers - Chestnut, Terracotta, Raw Sienna, Berry Red, Crimson, True Blue, Sunflower, Almond, Sunkissed Pink, Ice Grey 5,4,3,2,1, Cool Grey 5, Black

Flexmarker - Egyptian Blue

Oh Sit Down...

Good afternoon all!

I am at Jen's having a fab crafting day after moving her craftroom last night! We've just had a lunch break and watched the launch of the Ooh La La Festive Funnies CD-ROM on Create & Craft and seen my samples on there! I had my cards on TV! lol! All the DT at OLLCB had their cards showcased and they're all just fab! :)

Anyway, back to the point of my blogging......cards! Here is one I have made this morning. It's my first ever Gorjuss card. I love how my colouring turned out, just not too sure about the actual card. Oh well......it's done now and here it is......

 This is Gorjuss Sitting from Sugar Nellie Stamps and is coloured with Promarkers (Crimson, Berry, Poppy, Sunkissed Pink, Almond, Marsh Green, Olive Green, Khaki, Umber, Warm Grey 5, 4, 3). The patterned papers are MME Bloom & Grow and the rest are from Jen's scrap draw. The flowers are also Jen's from Prima.

Twinkling Star

Here is a gorgeous little card I've made using one of the new LoTV Christmas stamps......love them!

She is called Twinkling Star and I coloured her in a while ago with my trusty Promarkers. I have then glittered, sparkled and 'snowed' her to within an inch of her life! The snowflakes are Marianne and the rest is from the stash.

Less Is More 34 - Sketch

Good morning LIMettes!

Well it doesn't seem that long since I was on here posting my last cards for the last challenge! Oh right......it wasn't that long ago!

Anyway, the lovely Lady and Diva LIM have given us a nice easy sketch this week to reward us for our hard work trying to reach 1000 entries! We didn't quite make it but I bet we set a record in blogland! :)

Anyway, here is my card, before I head to work.

This is simply an image cut from Sweet Owl paper and an old Hero Arts sentiment!

Ok, work! And then a fab weekend crafting with Jen! See you soon! :)
