Hi all managed to make a card - Forever Friends again

Hi all. Not much happening at the moment. I am pleased it is the school holidays I love the kids being at home than school. Had Mitzi to the vets and was told she is actually a German Shepherd and there is a difference in the Alsatian and German Shepherd dogs not much but 2 different breeds. Well she is actually a month younger than we got told she was actually 2 months when we got her, so we are having to restart her injections so no walks for 4 weeks (3 left to go). So I am missing the do walking the plus side getting on with my sorting out much better and started to make my Christmas gift tags and more christmas cards for the kids for school.

I have also got a lot of images stamped, which just need colouring in and making cards so I made this simple Forever Friends cards going through stash I found while sorting out. The card is 6 by 6. I have used silver mirror card, and blue glitter handmade paper for background and the same for the nestie scalloped circle and finished with just a nestie plain circle in the centre. My sister got some of the glitter markers from QVC and that is what I coloured the Forever Friends in - silver and pro-markers for the hat. Then I finished with flowers, butterfly and ribbon down the left handside.

Forever Friends " With love" card

Well the next post today and hopefully get myself in a better routine again is a Forever Friends " With Love" card. Now having Mitzi I am off the games on facebook spending more time with the family and unfortunately activitely doing more housework (which in a way good - in another way not as all I am doing is hoovering and washing) so in my sorting out the house routine I am also starting to sort out my crafting. Moved everything upstairs so I can have all my crafting stuff in one room and also see exactly what I have and need and what I dont use so I have a lot to sort out. I am going to start listing items on ebay which will be over quiet a few months.

However I did manage to make this card a while back and have eventually got round to sitting on her and share the same with you all. Using some backing papers in my stash and nestie dies. My Forever Friends image is coloured in using pro-markers and a bit glitter on flower, and I finished the card using gems. flowers and lace ribbon.


pro-markes used
vanilla, coral and meadow green
(this card is for sale on ebay)

The new member of the family

Hi all well I have been very busy laterly with the newest member of our family. She is Mitzi and is about 4 months. We have had her for about 3 weeks now and starting to settle in quiet well. More during the day when Chloe is at nursery as she just wont leave her alone. Was not sure at first when John brought her home but now can see all the positives of having a dog around again. Especially all the walking I am actually doing.

A couple of cards I made for my Niece's 18th Birthday

Hi all wow what a gorgeous day it has been. I have put the trampoline back up for Marc and Chloe - hope this gorgeous weather lasts the Easter holidays.

At the beginning of the week a special Niece was 18 and I wanted to show the cards I made.


First is a gorgeous cute bear holding a teddy stamped image (I got this free from a Magazine) which I have coloured in using pro-markers. I have just kept this simple.



The second I have used a Forever friend stamp imaged ( I thought I was actually buying the stamp when I bidded on these on ebay but turned out to be an image that what I get for not reading properly before bidding). I coloured image in with pro-markers and finished off with glitter on the shoes. The backing paper is flocking paper and I finished off with peel off ribbon, brades and flower emblishements.

Forever Friend Birthday Card

Hi all managed to get a couple of cards made - I have decided especially when Chloe starts full time school to devote Tuesday and Thursday to crafting days and then I can at least get a few cards made and not trying to do housework constantly feeling like I am that hampster on a wheel and not getting much of it done (especially when they return home and the house looks like a bomb has just been dropped.




Well my two have been invited to a birthday party tomorrow. So using my gorgeous new Forever Friend stamps ( from the Good Life Range) I put together this gorgeous card - nice to have some for the men for a change. i stamped my image on circle nestie die and then I coloured in using pro-markers finished off by using scalloped edged nestie background - backing papers are from The Good Life (A5 pack) and finished with peel offs.

pro-markers used:
Vanilla, poppy red, black, meadow green

2 more Christmas Cards

Hi the next two cards are a couple more Christmas Cards I have made for snoflake's Christmas Card challenge (however I have fallen behind in this so I am thinking of dropping out) I have made alot of cards but because I have quite a few using the same style and image and technique I think it is unfair to submit them (as I am hoping to be selling a few more this year - fingers crossed) and also I cant seem to juggle everything in at the moment still - crafting - school run both morning and night with Chloe still being at nursery - excersie - spending time with family etc.. (not sure how some people manage - my hat goes off to those who can.

Anyhow the cards :-


the first is just a simple 6 by 6 inch card - using Forever Friends Christmas stamp coloured in using pro-markers and finished with a bit glitter and gems. (for colours of pro-markers used please see christmas topper post below thanks.)




The second is this gorgeous little girl angel which was a free digi stamp - not sure where I got it from but if anyone interested in here I can e-mail just let me know. I coloured her in using pro-markers and finished with a bit glitter on her wings.

Hopefully can get a few more cards made which are not Christmas next week ....

Popcorn bear Mother's Day Card

Hi all, turning out to be a gorgeous sunny day here. Hopefully we get a good summer this year.. fingers crossed. I have made a start on Chloe's and Marc's Christmas cards for school - as I will have about 60 or more to do. I will concentrate on the Teachers ones a bit nearer the time I think when I find out who they will be getting.

Since all I have in my head is still Christmas it was good to make my mam's Mother's Day Card and start using some lovely spring/summer colours.

Well the card, size is A5, the stamp imaged is Popcorn bear which I have coloured in using pro-markers (unfortuntely I colours image in a while ago and cannot remember the exact ones I have used). Which I have finished with glitter on the petals of the daffodils. Background papers and paper boarder is what I have had in my stash (got kit from Create and Craft a few years ago) and finished with a flowers at the bottom and gold ribbon up the side.
