Happy Birthday Son

This is my youngest son Jonathan and he is 23 today!! Happy Birthday son xxx Where does the time go?? Far to quickly i know that much.

This is the card i made for him yesterday!! Why i leave everything until the last minute i don't know, but i always do then have to rush. This morning i was up at 7am adding the insert and greeting with my oval SU punch. The card has been made with Kanban topper as Jonathan loves cars, always has done from a little boy the faster the better lol..Like most crafters i so don't like making male cards never seem to find any inspiration. I will have to get my thinking cap on for Fathers day next week!

Sympathy card

Its the type of card we all have to make at times but never really like doing so :( This is for someone we meet each year on holiday, her husband died unexpectedly.
I have used Pink petticoat paper download matted on to black SU card, MS doily punch has been used with the greeting done on the PC and cut out with SU oval punches, i am loving these. The flowers are a digi stamp from the digi shack which i printed and then cut out with round nesties.

Littlest Sheep dog

Arh isn't he/she cute?? This little cutie is one of the new Cuddly Critter stamps from cuddly buddly, also available in 3d and digi stamp. I have coloured the image with prisma pencils blending with sansador with paper stumps. The papers are also down loads fro CB and are patchwork papers in lilac which i have layered onto black card stock. The greeting was done on the PC and cut and embossed with nestabilities ovals. The bow was made by 'moi ' with ribbon from CB shop, they have some really lovely satin ribbon in all colours and sizes.

Well i am off today instead of yesterday and am off out to lunch with MIL this afternoon, so no card making for me today but i still have some more Cuddly Critters to show you tomorrow.

Oh please Summer Fairy

Please summer fairy can you do you magic and bring our sunshine back as someone has stolen it when we where just getting used to it :( Well we can live and hope lol.... Its a very grey dismal day here today.
Well this lovely fairy is another Cuddly buddly stamp coloured with prisma pencils. I have just noticed i forgot to add some glamour dust to the wings!! The papers are also downloaded from Cuddly Buddly they print out beautiful, well worth the money.
There is lots going on at Cuddly Buddly at the minute so keep popping over and checking it out.
My dear cuddly buddly friend Alison has some great Cuddly stamps as blog candy so pop along and leave her a comment to be in with a chance of winning, now hurry as today is the last day.
Ohhh and watch this space as i too will be having some candy real soon ;)

Spring fairy

Well spring has well and truly given way to summer this week, the sun is defiantly shining and its hot, hot... I hope you have all been careful and been slapping on the sun creams?? Nothing worse than sun burn ouch..
This is the second card i have made with spring fairy from Cuddly Buddly, she has been coloured with distress inks and PM's as haven't many distress inks at the moment. The greeting stamp is from Cuddly Buddly and has been stamped onto digi fairy papers from Cuddlybuddly. I love the colour combo of greens and purple, although not a great lover of green i don't mind lime green.

If you are a fan of digi stamps you MUST pop over to Cuddly Buddly and check out the new digi stamps they are sooooo... cute. I just love the frogs...

PC Problems

I am not having a good day am i here i am asking for help again lol...
I am with Virgin Media and tonight it ran its usual virus scan and detected infected files W32.Backdoor2.EMEB but when it quarantined them a pop up appeared asking for the XP service pack 3 disc to be inserted, i thought what the!!! I have a done a little bit of googling on the named virus and it seems it could be down to PC guard with Virgin, has anyone else had this problem?? And how can i sort it lol.... Has anyone else encountered this problem??
Just thought i would alert others as well...

Storage box

I have seen on someones blog a storage box they made for stamped images, so they where filed away with little dividers, think they used the SU tab punch to put the name of the stamps on.
I thought to myself "i must make one of these", i thought i had bookmarked it to come back to at a later date!! I am hoping one of you lovely bloggers will know what i am chatting on about lol.... Doesn't it drive you mad when you see something whilst blog hopping then can't remember where Grrrrr......
I hope you have all had a fab weekend and enjoying the great weather we have had :)

Wedding card

I haven't made a wedding card for some time now, have to say i really enjoyed making this one. This is the first time i have inked this stamp up, shame on me lol... The card is for a work colleagues son who gets married tomorrow, i so hope the weather stays fine for them :)
The stamp is FF coloured with PM's matted and layed onto oval nesties made with SU! card stock. The papers are PP sweet flourished which i think are great for wedding cards, although have had trouble with printing yellow. The greeting was printed on the PC using Beansprout font, cut out with oval nesties again.

Autumn Fairy

Well here is' Autumn Fairy' doesn't she look like she is having fun on this leaf lol... She is another one of Kim's seasonal fairies over at Cuddly Buddly. I have coloured her with Prisma pencils and promarkers,trying to stick to rustic autumnal colours. The leaves are a quickutz leaf die, flowers are prima. The yummy papers are fairy paper downloads, think these are the peach set!
Well i hope the weather starts to improve real soon so i can show you summer fairy, getting a b it fed up with all this wind and rain grr... two days in a row now i have been soaked walking to work and that's using an umbrella!
Can't believe we have another Bank holiday weekend! Where are the weeks going, to blinking fast i know that much lol....

Winter Fairy

Here is another card i have made with Kims new stamps, this is one of my favourites i think she is beautiful. I have coloured with prisma pencils, added some glamour dust here and there and layered her onto oval nesties which i have embossed with the swirl embossing folder.I know we are nearly into summer but yesterday felt more like winter was in the way, the wind was bitter brrr.... I have once again used fairy download papers from Cuddly Buddly matted onto black card. The greeting is the Fairy greetings stamp stamped onto the aqua papers.

Spring Fairy

I have been busy making some cards for Kim again and must say i am loving these new stamps and papers. Kim has joined forces with Kim Sponaugle to create the latest wonderful stamps, pop over to Cuddly Buddly and take a look.
This fairy is spring fairy, she has been coloured with prisma pencils and cut out with labels one nestabilities dies matted onto coloured card stock. The papers are lavender fairy fun papers downloaded from Cuddly buddly which print out lovely so much choice. Have used quickutz leaf die with prima flowers for embellishments. The round greeting is from the Fairy greetings set, which i have coloured in with promarkers.

Well are you fed up of these Gorjuss girls yet?? I'm not lol... I made this card for a sweet 10 year old called Amy,she is also into making cards like her mum and it was her Birthday yesterday- So belated greeting Amy hope you had a lovely day xx
The image has been coloured with prisma pencils, really loving playing with these at the minute..
MS doily punch has been used for the lace effect at the bottom, DP is basic grey, buttons and flower from my stash, greeting is from Hobby arts.

Corner Book Mark

I saw one of these corner bookmarks on 'Susana's Custom Art & Card Design' with a brilliant tutorial i thought i must give that i go, so here is my interruption of it. I have used a Gorjuss girl stamped image sent to me by a dear friend, coloured with promarkers and copic pens. The papers are the left over bits and bobs from my previous card which are all SU! ,well they are to good to waste lol...
This is the other side of the bookmark, the part that slots on the page. I have used SU! papers again, flowers are made with EK retro flower.

Here is the bookmark in use so you can see what i mean about slotting it onto a page. I am at the moment reading 'Breaking Dawn' which is the final book in the Stephanie Meyer Twilight series about vampires, brilliant reading if you haven't read them already.

Spoonfull Of Sugar #50

The theme this week is Touchy Feely. We would love to see some texture on your cards.

I have used a lovely stamped magnolia image send to me by a dear blogger (thank you x) this is so cute and very easy to colour. I have used my prisma pencils for a nice subtle look to blend with the delicious papers, which are all SU! I have added some glamour dust to the wings .The greeting is from Craftwork cards, lil bow from my stash. The touchly feely bit is some cream lace, hope this qualifies me for the challenge??
I am off to Port Sunlight tomorrow to the stampers show there, not that i need anything lol... Will be back over the weekend, so have a good one peeps.

Lakeside Cabin

I do dislike making men's cards, no flowers or pretty pastel colours :( My FILs birthday is this month so thought i best get cracking. I have used my new stampscape 'Lakeside Cabin' set of stamps, i love this stamps as has so much detail. I have stamped with brilliance cocoa ink on to BG papers which i thought gave a nice effect, as i don't own a brayer. I am not to sure on the layout of the card, think it is lacking in something!
Hope you all have a great Bank holiday weekend :)
