Evenig all, I fancied a pastel xmas card tonight, my sister gave me this stamp at the weekend so I thought I'd ink it up, I've 3D the baubles and pressies and glittered them and were there should be snow I've used those mini gems, coloured it with copics, used K&Co paper, HOTP rub on three different snowflake punches that seem to sit together really well, and three little gems in the corner. I'm entering this card for the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, which is "Tag your it" there are some fabulous DT cards over there just click on my link at the end of this post.
Got my MIL coming for tea tomorrow so I hope to be back on Friday, my this week is going as fast as last week, I would just like to thank everyone for the wonderful comments you have left me, take care.

Evening, hope you all had a great weekend, I had a lovely family meal on Sunday, life seems so rushed sometimes and it was great to sit and enjoy time with the family.

Inked up a stamp I brought ages ago and not got round to using yet its a daisy dandylion one. Used dovecraft paper, copics, nesties EK border punch and a bit of ribbon from my stash.

I'm not sure but I think I've got four challenges here, the lovely sketch is from Papertake,SCSC asked for animal antics, Charisma asked us to get sporty and Pink Elephant wanted a tag, punch and dots. I think I've filled everything there.

Hope to be back tomorrow.

Lilac snowman

Hi, sorry I havn't been about for a few days but my Son and DIL paid for us to go away for the weekend , it was fantastic, but pretty hectic as I had loads to do at work before I could leave.

Thought I'd try this gorgeous sketch from Friday Sketchers , I've used one of my prize images from Karen at ICS, I won one of the challenges a couple of weeks ago, I know I couldn't beleive it either, its a Sugar Nellie stamp and I've coloured it with copics and glittered the snowmen, used Craft creation papers and some paper lace that I've also glittered, I cut down a cuttlebug snowflake and used some brads from my stash, quite like this colour scheme for Christmas.

Might have some news for you tomorrow!!!!!

Evening, wow how these weeks are flying by at the moment.

For this card I used the lovely sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp, it also fits in with the Anya challenge that gave us pink, white and a colour of your choice, I used orange as I'm trying to experiment with different colour combinations at the moment and this is a bit different to me.

The papers are from MME, Anya stamp coloured with Copics, EK Border punch and Nesties, WOJ sentiment, pearls on her jacket and crystals on the scallop edge.

You can't tell with my rubbish photo but I've 3D the umbrella. I donated loads of my cards to my local saint barnabas hospice for their sale the other day and they raised £40 I was so chuffed. If you have any cards you dont know what to do with Saint Barnabas hospice or charity shops would be over the moon to receive them as they are charity run and need every penny they can get, they do such a marvelous job.

Evening, I had a little play this after, instead of tidying, I've been dying to ink this stamp up, I ordered it to make my sister her birthday card but unfortunetly it didn't arrive in time. I've used K&Co papers , copics, nesties, prima flower and brad from stash, the otherflower I punched from my EK retro daisy. This sketch is from sketch saturday,and it is also 21cm x 15cm as in the option, Stamp something wanted your fave stamp and something punched , my new stamps are always my fave, Copic Creations wanted your fave colour cominations mine areYG0000, YG00,YG03, YG23 and B0000,B00, B32, B23 although I am very new to copics so it will probably change with each card i make.

Bye for now

Snowflake

Morning, thought I'd quickly post this challenge this morning before I carry on trying to put some order back in my Bats Cave. I found a corner last night and had a little play, but I can't for the life of me find my glitter glue, can remember moving it but not sure where, had to pinch some of hubbies wood glue,rofl,

Did three challenges on this card used the sketch from SS and only just realised it was supposed to be a birthday card for Heidi, sorry Heidi how about an early Christmas card instead, that'll teach me to right everything down and not just the sketch. CI wanted Blue/Brown love this colour combo but not to sure for a Chrissy card. PE gave us a recipe 2 squares, 1 ribbon and something that sparkles.

Used a Sugar Nellie stamp coloured with Copics, MME papers, brown Bazill, nesties, MS snowflake punch and glitter, ribbon and gems from my stash.

Have a fun sunday might be back later, depends how good I am at organising,

Bye for now

Orange

Hiya, hope you all had a good bank holiday, the weather in Skeggy is brill with a bit of wind to keep you cool, we have a bypass round our village now so we dont see or hear any of the holiday traffic, it is fantastic. Didn't get hardly any crafting done, Hubby treated me to some new units for my Bats Cave, they are double kitchen units with no legs which makes them just the right height to sit at. I'm still waiting for my worktop to arrive so everything is in boxes. I have a 3 meter wall and hes put a double unit either end and then a worktop will go across the top and i have a knee hole in the middle, I'll take a photo when its tidy.
This card is for FS its a great sketch and they wanted blue/orange as the colour theme, I knew which papers to use straight away as I've picked them up a few times this month then put them down again, they are from MME used one of my girlz from sugar nellie and cooured her with my copics (just ordered the new pastel ones, hijacking the postman till they arrive) matted with the nesties and used EK flower punches and pearls.
Got to pick my MIL up from the Humber Bridge tonight, going to see my sister tomorrow and then MIL is coming to us on Thursday so I proberbly wont get back her till Friday, unless my worktop comes and then I'll be arranging my stash. Must get back to work now I seem to have waffled on a bit. lol.
