It really has been ages!!!!!

My - I can't believe how fast time seems to be going lately.  I think I must be losing the plot lol!  Anyway, I thought I would put up a post as I think I was forgetting how to do it!

Am lucky enough to have a couple of weeks off work where I hope to get some crafting done and maybe put something more interesting on here.

Might as well get started.  Hope you're all having a wonderful time
Bye for now

First post for ages......................

Well here I am again.  It's been such a long time - I thought I'd never get chance to post anything lol!

Anyhoo, I made a Tatty Ted card yesterday using the new Docrafts Tatty Ted products and some things I had in my stash. I used Tatty Ted 8 x 8 papers and stickers.  I used green cardstock and matching ribbon.  The card candy is coloured with Promarkers as I didn't have any matching ones but I don't think they turned out too bad.

And with the leftovers.............................

I made this Tilda card. 

I really like the blue/green colour and the papers go well. (please tell me if I'm wrong lol).  Again I used ribbon and gems from my stash.  The flowers are made with the Xcut Hydrangea punch and layered up.  Card candy for centres.

Well hope you like these. Please feel free to leave a comment.
See you soon

Here I am again!

Well can you believe it - I can't  TWO posts in the same week - I usually go about a month between posts.

Anyway,  Just thought I would share with you my first LOTV card.  I bought this stamp this week as I thought it was so gorgeous.  Not quite sure I have done it justice!

This is the card I have used for the LOTV challenge over on docrafts.
I used a My Craft Studio backing paper which I changed the colour of to match the card. LOTV Fairy on tipfoe stamp - coloured with promarkers and mounted onto a scalloped circle cut from glitter card using a nestie.  I used an X-cut punch for the border.  Ribbon and gems from my stash.  The sentiment is a printed one I made myself.

Thanks for visiting today and please feel free to leave a comment.  Back soon!

Something different........

Well, something different for me!

Good evening everyone.  Hope you re all well.

I thought I would try something a little bit different with my latest card.  Its using darker colours than I usually use.  I usually go for pale or pastel colours for backing papers and things but thought I would give this a go.  Please let me know what you think!

I've decorated the inside of this card too instead of just adding an insert.  I have also made a complimentary box instead of an envelope.

The stamp is Sugar Nellie - design by Elisabeth Bell but unfortunately, I do not know thae name and I believe it is now discontinued.  If anyone can enlighten me I would be grateful.

Supplies used are K & Co Papers, Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Xcut border punch.  Lace and ribbon from my local haberdashery.

Thanks for visiting and please feel free to leave a comment - they are always appreciated.

Time flies ...............................

Well its been absolutely ages since I last posted.  Can't believe that even though I'm off work at the minute, I still can't sem to find time to catch up with anything!.

Anyway, I thought i would share with you my first Double Twisted easel card.  I made this for my daughter-in-law.

It was made using some holographic card from Create and Craft, Purple cardstock and the main image and sentiments from the Forever Friends Black and Gold CD Rom.

Thanks for looking and for any comments left.

It's been a while

Hi everyone.

It has been a while since my last post but these past few weeks I have found that I seem to have less and less time to do anything.  I think I need a long, long holiday so that I can enter loads of challenges and keep up with blogs and galleries lol!

Anyhoo - here are two of my latest Tilda offerings.  On the blue one, I have coloured around the Tilda image itself and it seems to make the image stand out better - let me know what you think.  I also used Sue Wilson's trick of cutting outside the nestie, which I think is a cool trick.

Thanks for visiting - hope you come back soon.
