A Good Friend

This is Toby Tumble 'Happy Easter' 3D decoupage download from Cuddly Buddly.

There are a few sentiments with this sheet so you don't have to use it just as an Easter card.

You don't even have to do it as a decoupage card, you can edit the sheet in your graphics programme and just print off the topper and sentiment, great for a nice quick card.

I have been in the wars this week :( Whilst brushing Brad (My dog) on Monday he lifted his head a little to quickly and caught me on the corner of my eye, well the air was blue I can tell you and so now is my eye lol...

I look like I have been in a fight, goodness know what the customers in work must think! N o more dog grooming duties for me, will leave that to Neil.

Friendship

This cute Toby Tumble image is called 'Friendship' I think it would make a wonderful 'Thinking Of You Card'

as they are sharing a quiet moment together on their swing in the meadow. This was quite a challenge to colour as there is a lot more scenery than other stamps I have used, coloured with Prisma and Copics.

I am busy working on some new Toby Tumble designs for Cuddly Buddly which will be released real soon.

I have to say they are so cute, so watch this space :)

It was back to work for me yesterday, I so missed not being able to get any crafting done, just hope my mojo doesn't sulk and run away.

Fairy Wings

This was a very quick card I made with my LOTV Cute squares, have made lots of these over the last week as the girls in work have been asking me to bring my box of cards in, hopefully I will sell a few.

I call these type of cards 'stick and go cards' lol... I always feel that its not really hand crafted if there is no colouring involved, is that just me? Or do others feel this way.

I have changed the layout a little bit but still used the wonderful Marianne die again.

I just love this stamp its now also available as a 3D decoupage sheet from Cuddly Buddly, so guess what I will be having a play with this weekend??? So watch this space :)

Well I have a few more days off before my week off is over :( I have so enjoyed being at home crafting away until my hearts content. I have managed to do some quick stick and go cards today, made six cards this evening now going it some for me lol.....

I can see me using this image for Christenings and new baby cards, its just perfect. I have coloured the image with the usual Copics and Prisma Pencils, adding some glamour dust to the frills.

The frame is a Marianne double frame die, it really is a fabby die and I have only used one part of it so far, love the lacy detail. The white mat has been made with the MS Cherish punch around the page this is another punch i can see me using often

I have been a bad blogger the last few months mainly due to being busy with work and Christmas. I am off next week so plan on having some ME time making some cards. I have a few more Toby Tumble digi's to work with so don't forget to pop back if you get chance.

This is a card I made before Christmas with a 3D download from Cuddly Buddly called 'Special Friends' and that's what Tabitha is to Toby. I'm hoping we will be seeing a lot more of Toby's friends this year, especially Tabitha as I think she is very cute.

All The Best For 2011

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas? We all went out for dinner Christmas day it was wonderful to be waited on, no cooking or washing up will defiantly save my pennies so we can do it again next year.

I can't believe its New Years Eve where has the last 12 months gone?? Everyone seems to be saying the same this year. I would like to thank everyone who has visited my blog over the last twelve month whether you have left a comment or not, It would be nice to know if you have paid a visit by leaving me a little comment but I know its time consuming leaving comments on all the blogs we visit.

I would like to say a 'Happy New Year' to each and everyone of you lets hope it brings you Health, Wealth and Happiness and lots of craft goodies lol... ;) 

This card was made very quickly with a digi greeting from Cuddly Buddly that I downloaded and  resized to fit in a nestabilities, its a lovely greeting don't you think ? We should all believe in our heart where ever it may take us. The papers are also a download Exotic flavours from Cuddly Buddly they are so funky and modern.

New Toby Tumbles Digi's

There are some new Toby Tumbles digi releases over on Cuddly Buddly.

This little digi is Toby Tumbles 'Happy Easter', he was a real pleasure to colour in as I'm sure the others will be. There another two Toby Tumble images and a cute little doggie one as well :)

I know,I know its months away until Easter but its so nice to see all those lovely bright colours and Daffodils.

Toby Tumbles has been coloured in with Copics and prisma's with glossy accents to the daffodil heads.

This is one of the new Toby Tumble rubber stamps called 'Just To Say Hi' he has been coloured with copics and prisma pencils. The beautiful flowers are once again prima they are so pretty, love the lilac range as well as the pink. The new Toby Tumble hearts and flowers papers are so pretty, love this colour combo. The little greeting is from the Twelve Christmas Greeting digi stamps  and has been made by using the smallest nesties circle and cutting from with in the greeting stamp so only picking up the sentiment. 

I hope you are all over the worst of the snow, we have had hardly any of the white stuff here, thankfully.

I am not a happy bunny at the moment as I have toothache, been to the dentist twice this past week and have to wait until Wednesday for a root filling, not happy as I'm still in pain with it. I have been looking on the Internet for emergency clinic in our area and see there is one in Chester so will have to give them a ring tomorrow i think :( stupid teeth give you nothing but trouble.....
