Baby Card

Hi all I am doing really well with my facebook addiction and getting back into the swing of my crafting. I am really enjoying stamping at the moment I have alot of images ready just to colour in with my pro-markers. I only get a couple hours of the day at the moment,but really worth it when I can just switch off and create.

This card I have made using LOTV baby stamp which I have coloured in using pro-markers pastel pink and rose pink. I also coloured the white lace down the left hand side with the rose pink pro-marker and finished with flowers and gems.

Thank you card -

Hi all well it is another year on and for Marc another year when his Teacher is leaving during the school year - this time she is having a baby - cant believe he is having another disruptive year again and he is only in Year 1. So I made this Thank you Card. using Forever Friends Stamp together with circle scalloped nestie dies and pro-markers finished with ribbon and flowers.

Wow I am on a role

Evening all. I have managed to sort a few of my crafting stuff out and organize a couple of my boxes phew hopefully I try and not be as messey - (I hope) found alot of stuff I lost.

Well I am on a role I have managed to make another card in such a short period of time Marc and Chloe are happy to play with toys or colour in pictures while I get on and craft.

Sticking with Christmas a bit I made this card for Snoflake Christmas Card Challenge (week 2). My sister treat herself to some Lili of the Valley stamps so whilst I was there at the weekend I stamped myself a couple of her images. I love the image of this cute little girl carrying the candle.

Hopefully get another card done by end of the week ....

Getting back in the swing of my crafts

Hi all - well Marc and Chloe went back to school on Tuesday. I miss them so much when they are not at home so I used the couple of hours that I have free on a morning while Chloe is at nursery to try and sort out some of my crafting. I ended up just moving things from place to another and not really making any progress.

However I have managed to find some papers and stamped images I did a while back and made the above fairy card - the image was free from a magazine and I coloured her in using pro-markers and finished with glitter on her wings. I have coloured the outer edges of scalloped circles with glittered purple gell pen and finished with the flowers and the words " Happy Birthday ". I am sorry as I done the fairy stamped image last year I cannot remember the exact colours of pro-markers I used.

Snoflake Christmas Card challenge week 1

Hi all Happy New Year. Well my first card for 2011 is still a Christmas theme. I found snoflake Christmas card challenge was great for keeping up with all them christmas cards.

So this year I have decided to concentrate a bit more on my crafting. Marc and Chloe are a little older and are able to help more which would be much more fun, than just making a mess with all my crafting goodies (which I know I have lots but still cannot afford just to waste - ha ha). I have set myself a goal to just a treat of one crafting goodie a month and therefore I cannot just buy for the sake of buying and starting trying to use a lot of what I have got. Also more of what I need.

Well the card - I managed to perusade the other half to buy me these great Christmas Patchwork stamps from QVC in their big clearance at the end of Christmas - and they are fab.

I have more images cut and ready to make some more cards using these stamps.

pro-markers used are:- baby blue (around the outline of bears)
China blue

Baby Girl card using my new nestie dies

Hi all I have treated myself to some nestie dies and how I am loving them I got circular with scalloped edge and rectangle with scalloped edge now I want more ... ha ha there is always something we want when it comes to crafting ha ha.

We just 5 more days and I do not know who is excited more me or Marc and Chloe - I am so lucky they are at the age when Christmas is so magical.

Well a friend has just recently had a baby girl so I have made this simple card using the scalloped nestie dies and decoupage I bought in a pack of ebay, and finished with flowers with a pearl gem in the centre.

Marc and Chloe's Christmas Cards

Hi all, I have Marc and Chloe's Christmas parties on Tuesday - cant wait it is Chloe's first and I have got her a gorgeous dress - hopefully get her hair right on the day.

So I have finally got all the school cards done most of them wrote out and just have to send them all into school tomorrow - I made 77 cards altogether and all worth it in the long run as I know noone will send the same cards as mine ha ha

Here are Marc and Chloe's Christmas cards I have made - both are 6 by 6 and I have a used a Gingerbreadman digi stamp which I got free from a kind lady through Docrafts. I have coloured the same using pro-markers and finished with glitter. I have also added snowflakes on the card in which I have handstitched - I really enjoyed making these.



As you can see one is red and the other I have done in pink --
