Sarah Kay wallet card

I so love this Sarah Kay image, can you tell? lol. I have coloured the image with Prisma pencils. didn't like the colour of the basket so covered it with some green card, think what we call a happy accident. The papers are DCWV, flowers from my stash and card stock is Bazzil. The stamped greeting is Autumn leaves, i like the circular greetings.

Papertake Weekly challenge

I have at long last made a card this week! I have been so busy doing other things that have been sadly neglected, feel much better now i have got things sorted :) This is the first time i have used this Sugar Nellie stamp and must say it took a lot of colouring in as its quite a big stamp. I chose the Papertake weekly challenge as i love Katharina's sketches. The papers are the lovely K&Co again, with some DCWV card stock added. The corner scroll is a cuttlebug die cut, birthday greeting is Pink Petticoat. The flowers are from the bags of mixed flowers that Sarah's cards sell. The image has been coloured in with Prisma pencils and a little bit of glamour dust added for sparkle.

For my Forever friend

I have made this little book for my very dear friend Linda :) She is a very special lady and loved by all that know her. Keep an eye out for the postie Linda ;)

I have card stock that was very kindly sent to me by Donna, many months ago lol. The chocolate brown and pink go very well together. The stamp is another Sugar Nellie stamp, designer Elisabeth Bell. I have coloured this in with my pigment ink pads, just having a play around really.

Baby Jack

This was a commission for my friend whose family seem to of had a baby boom, all boys to! I struggle making large cards and anything that doesn't include stamping, lol. The image is from DAISIE download site, the designer is Elines. I have printed onto linen card and scored the sides, layered onto embossed card and bazzil card stock. The greeting was printed on the PC and the name was cut with my sizzlets.

Picture 2This will be my card for the Spoon full of sugar challenge, something for the girls. When i can decide which topper i like best!!! Maybe you can help me decide?? PLEASE :)

Image one has been coloured with water coloured pencils and image two has been coloured with Prisma pencils, i just don't know which i prefer to use. I have used bazzil bling for the main card and some plain brown card stock. As you can see i have embossed some with Swiss dots cuttlebug folder, the with love embossing is from the set of cuttlebug border embossing set. The circle greeting is from Autumn leaves, just right for the always sassy Sugar nellie stamps. Watch out for these as the new ones have just been released. The fancy scrolls are from the vintage corners Cuttlebug dies, ribbon from Poppicrafts.

Wow wow just look at this lovely candy Maya has on her blog, oh how i would love to have some of these images (fingers and toes crossed) What a fab site Maya has, there are so real works of art on her site so pop over and take a little look. Good luck everyone :)

Distressed Tilda

This weeks challenge over at Tilda and Co challenge site was to Make her Distressed looking, a little rough around the edges, a bit of grungy!
So stay clear of these cute pastel colours if you can help it and get down and dirty with Tilda!


Was difficult for me to do as i love pastel colours.The image is one from the shabby chic collection. I have used HOTP papers and layered them with coordinating card stock, flowers from my stash. The corners are Cuttlebug vintage corners, embossing done with embossing folders. The greeting stamp is from Autumn leaves (kindly stamped for me by Gail)

Precious Moments

I am sorry it has been some time since i have posted any cards, in fact a whole week. I think my mojo went on a mini break, hopefully its back now :) Although must say its taken me some time to make 2 cards today. This sketch is from the Papertake Weekly challenge and was designed by Katharina, who makes some fab cards.
The image is a Precious Moments peel off sticker mounted onto white card and layered onto a lilac circle. The embossing was done with Swiss dots cuttlebug folder and the embossing at the bottom was done with the a cuttlebug embossing border, i love using these they add such a nice detail. The ribbon is from my stash and the greeting is a hero arts stamp.

The layout is by Carole this week at Friday sketchers, thanks you for providing another great sketch. The papers are from Kay & Co, matted and layered onto card stock. The fancy border at the bottom is made with the cuttlebug border embossing folders, have added flowers from Sarahs cards. The greeting is from Pink Petticoat.

A Funny Ha Ha Card!!

I made this card for my sisters birthday, i hope she will see the funny side of it. I have decoupaged this image and layered it onto card stock, scored the sides with a score bored. The greeting was printed on the PC. This was another quick card, will promise to do something more adventurous next time.

A Major BugBear!

A MAJOR BUGBEAR! As the pollen from flowers are a problem to a lot of people (or a BUGBEAR should we say!), this months challenge is to NOT use a FLOWER, BUG or BEAR on the ATC! A chance to use some of the other Cuddly Buddly download sets or stamps. This was the challenge over at the ATC Cuddly Buddly challenge blog. I have used the church angel set and added some glamour dust on the wings.I made this to give to my friend who lost her Mum on Monday, its a little guardian angel to see her through the sad time. I have cheated a little as noticed there are some flowers on the cross, whoops!

Our Anniversary

Today is our Anniversary so though best make an effort and do dear hubby a card. This was a quick card using one of the Jayne Netley cds, there are some wonderful images on these disc's and i can see me using them quite a bit, especially for men's cards. I have printed the image onto linen card , matting and layering done with card stock. The greeting was printed on my PC and the score lines where done with my score board. I think it took all of 10 minutes to make!!

Waiter Edwin

I have followed the sketch from Ismaki challenge this week to make this card. I have left the greeting off as could be for any occasion, anniversary or congratulations card. Have used Edwin from my new summer set from Magnolia stamps, this is a fab set so watch out for more cards made with this set. I have used Papermania papers once again, with DCWV card stock. Edwin was coloured in with Prismas, the shirt and tie where paper pierced.

Friday Sketches Challenge

I did this for the Friday Sketchers challenge. This card is well out of my comfort zone, have used a Papirloftet stamp called Sol. I won this stamped image in a competition, don't think its one i would buy. I have used a selection of papermania papers and brown card stock, the flowers are from my flower bit box, as are the heart gems. The florishes i stamped, not to sure about them!!
