Shopping at 30!

Good evening!

Here is a card I just have made for a friend's 30th Birthday tomorrow. After Keiran's party, we'll be getting all glammed up and heading to her surprise party! Good job she doesn't visit my blog! 

I have kept it quite simple with my Ladybug Crafts Ink image, Promarkers and Papermania papers. I have to say, I quite like it!

A Crafty Raggamuffin!

Hello peeps!

Oooh...3 posts in 3 days! lol!

I have been meaning to make this card for ages now...the image has sat, coloured on my desk, even made a trip to Jen's and got water dribbled on her (hence why she's cut out!), and back again! And now here she is, in all her glory! :)

This is the very sweet Crafty Ragamuffin from Saturated Canary, coloured with some not very well used Promarkers...the colours I mean! Everything else is just from my stash! Oh the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl I think! 

I am particularly pleased with my colouring of her hair! :)

Yo Ho Ho!

Good evening everyone!

Ok no post since Saturday...sorry! I really am so busy with life these days. I am hoping that once the next few weeks are over, I can get back on track somewhat!

So it was my gorgeous, wonderful son Keiran's 4th birthday today! My goodness...where have the last 4 years gone?? He's had quite a fun day, I think! Presents and a picnic before pre-school where he had a tea party and cake, then off to Pizza Hut for tea with myself, his Dad, and his Nana, Grandma and Auntie! Oh and more presents! Bless him! He is fas asleep now, shattered but happy! :)

Anyway, what kind of Mum would I be if I didn't make him a card? So here it is! I was up til almost 10pm last night finishing it though lol!

He is having a Jake and The Neverland Pirates themed birthday party on Saturday so I themed his card to match! I found each of the characters on a colouring page on Google and coloured them with Promarkers. The background is also created with Promarkers. I hung Skully (the parrot) on acetate so it looks like he is flying!

How Charming!

*if you are looking for my Sketch Saturday DT card, please scroll down*

Good morning LIMettes!

I have an invasion of friends to my house this weekend, so this will be the only crafting I will get chance to do! I cleared out my craft room yesterday, and I'm hoping my mojo is around here somewhere...it's been on holiday and it's time it came back!

Ok so here is a slightly late card for this week's

HOW CHARMING!

challenge at Less Is More

I simply embossed a panel using the free folder that came with my Texture Boutique all that time ago, and added a charm to the ribbon...simple!

I'm slightly late because Keiran's Dad turned up to pick Keiran up 10 minutes early, for a change....just as I was about to post my card!

Anyway, have a fab weekend everyone!

Pampered Pets!

Good afternoon all! 

I have had such a busy day today! I had a bunch of errands to run this morning, then I popped in to see how Jen's kitchen is getting on...you don't want to know lol! And then, after chatting to Jen, I decided to have a craft room sort out and clear out! I have got rid of a lot of bits that I've been hanging onto for some time, with no real intention of ever using them lol! So blog candy, blog hops and charity shops beware!

Anyway, here is a card I made the other night and forgot to post!

It is all made using freebie Pampered Pets goodies from a magazine ages ago! I jazzes it up with some Spellbinders dies and 2 handmade flowers, made from 'blind' fabric!
