Rockin' Out!

Good evening!

Here is a card made using a Stamping Boutique image that I have had coloured for a ridiculously long time...like since before Christmas!

This rockin' fella is Max, and obviously he's coloured with Promarkers (what else lol?!) The papers are my new download from Nitwit - Tour London...they are fab! :) The music notes are from Die-Namics, Baker's Twine from The Ribbon girl and cd from my stash.

Yellow for Less Is More!

Good morning LImettes! I hope it's as bright and sunny where you are this weekend, and hope it stays like this for the entire Bank Holiday weekend! :)

So it's time for a new challenge at my favourite blog challenge, Less Is More, and this week it's

YELLOW!

Erm ok....where to start?!

This stamp is SU Happiest Birthday Wishes, and I have used So Saffron,Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist pens. I finished with an embossed edge. No very inspiring but then I've not had much mojo this week! Been a tough week....

Ok, bye for now...hope to try and get something a little more exciting on here in the week!

Hell...what's one more friggen candle?!

Good evening!

'Hello stranger', I hear you say! I know I've not been on for a few days, but I was laid up with a really horrid cold and cough, that really took it out of me and all I could manage to do was get my shifts at work done, and entertain my now 4yr old Keiran! Any crafting took a back burner I'm afraid! I also have a lot going on in my private life right now too, so I may be absent somewhat over the coming weeks, but I shall still endeavour to post. After all, I still have commissions to make!

And here is one of them! 

This is my DT card for our new challenge at Crafting For All Seasons, where this week our challenge is 

HANDMADE FLOWERS

We are sponsored by

The image I used is Frame It Stella - One More Candle and she's coloured with Promarkers. The papers are Shabby Princess - Sweet Sprinkles, and I made the flower using 'blind' fabric!

Challenges

I actually made this a while ago for my brother's birthday at the beginning of April. He loved it! :) The image is X-Box from Ladybug Crafts Ink, is coloured with Promarkers and the papers are, I think, Pink Petticoat and Pixel Scrapper. Or maybe Shabby Princess...I forgot! I must make a note to make a note of what I use on a card when I make them so far in advance lol! Oh and I decided to sut my circle out so that my papers look like wallpaper and carpet! :)

Less Is More -

Good Morning LIMettes!

Well I have yet another busy weekend ahead of me...Keiran's party is this morning, then we're off to my friend's 30th birthday party this evening! Can't wait!

Anyway, I just had time to make a card for the Less Is More challenge this week and it is

A SKETCH

You can use either of the sketches above, so here is my card...

This is made using a Sizzix flower die from Stampin Up!, and I just used a pearl brad in the centre. Very simple...very effective! I must admit, I made the flower on Tuesday when Jen popped round, but I didn't quite know what to do with it, so now it's no longer 'stash'! 

Well thanks for looking...hope you all have a fab weekend! :)
