Forever Friends Birthday Card


Hi all things are busy busy busy trying to sort out 17 years worth of memories from the loft and then have to try and sort out everything from upstairs as it is going to be upside down for quite a while. It is proving harder than I thought. Just out of 6 bags of teddy bears from the children I have still kept 4. With my children being still young I am not ready to give them up yet and neither are them. I know I have to be ruthless - I will get there.

Anyway my card. Card size is 6 by 6. Backing papers are from Forever Friends Black and Gold card pack, circle nestie die with a stamp image of Forever Friend bear (fromt the black and gold set) which I have coloured in using pro-markers and finished off with glittered black ribbon and flowers.


pro-markers used:
Vanilla and pastel pink - Forever Friends bear
Gold - heart
outline - pastel yellow, henna and blender

Magical wishes Tilda Card


Eveing all. I am actually loving the cold frost mornings at the moment especially when I have got the kids at school and enjoying a nice morning walk with Mitzi. I prefer this than the horrible wind and winter rain. Star gazing live is about to start so just a quick note for my card I managed to make today.

Card size is 6 by 6, backing papers are from Forever Friends which are 8 by 8 papers. Tilda image has been coloured in using pro-markers (again has been done for a while so I cannot remember of top of head which ones I have used). Then finished with pink ribbon a glittered butterfly (which I bought from ebay) and couple of flowers.

Blowing Bubbles Tilda Birthday Card


Hi all as to my word I am trying to stay on track and make at least one card or craft item a day. I have just kept to basics. The card is 6 by 6 scalloped edge. Background is plain yellow covered with backing paper from stash. I have used spellbinder scalloped and plain nestie dies. My stamped image is coloured in using pro-markers and then I have finished with glitter on Tilda's wings, added a ribbon, flowers and a few gems, to complete. (I have had this image coloured in a while so I cannot remember the exact pro-markers used).

New Year - New beginnings

Hi what a fantastic Christmas I had hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too. Happy New Year to you all.

I am currently having some technical problems with my blog on my laptop (using my son's at the moment) so hopefully I can get these issues resloved and then be up and running in the next couple of weeks.

I have now got everything at a balance I think so I giving myself a little challenge starting from Monday. Using this blog and my facebook page I am going to do a card a day challenge. That way I am not either making too many or not enough.

Therefore hopefully on Tuesday you will see my first card of the year. Big hugs a goodluck to you all for 2012.

Forever Friends Christmas Card


Hi all what a miserable rainy day. So been enjoying myself crafting. Chloe my 4 year old, yesterday decided to cut her own hair - omg I thought I am going to see what she be like with short hair. When John took her to hairdresses he could not let them cut much of length but got them to tidy it up as best as they could. Which I am pleased just means hair tied up until it grows back into nice length again.

Well the card is Forever Friends image coloured in with pro-markers and finished off with glitter and flowers. Backing papers from papermania Festive Frolics and Fizzy Moon Festive Fun.

I am entering this card into Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Snoflake Christmas card Challenge on Docrafts
