I hope to fine more time to do some crafting and card making now i will be back to normal hours at work. I just wish i could fit in a weeks holiday before February!! i really do need to recharge my batteries.

Chin Up!

I made this card a little while ago when Kim released the Georgie Bear stamps in the Cuddly Buddly shop. These stamps are very special to us over on the forum as they are in memory of our dear friend George who sadly passed away in October, these stamps depict his personality as he was always there for everyone with a kind word.
Any way on to the card itself which is an easel card. The image has been coloured with my trusted prisma pencils, the papers are CB downloads called Patchwork you can find more details HERE

Special Christmas Card

My Mil asked me would i make a special card so i set to work and came up with this. I have to say i am very pleased with the way it turned out :) The papers are from Martine's blog 'The Craft Table' they are the Christmas collection and are so yummy for your Christmas cards. The image is from a Beary essentials die cut pack as are the borders and greeting. The verse has been done on the computer and cut out with nesties. I think she was quite pleased with it any way :)

Just Magnolia Challenge

I had to make a quick card today for an order i had forgotten all about, whoops. I needed a sketch to give me inspiration and saw this on the Just Magnolia challenge, its a great sketch by Martine. The papers are all SU, from what set i can't remember lol.. i have so many papers that i haven't used yet. The magnolia image was stamped for me by my lovely friend Helen, i have coloured her in with prisma pencils adding some glamour dust to the wings.
Its so cold here tonight think we are all in for the coldest night of the year so far, so keep warm everyone bbbrrrrrr......

Silent Night

Well at long last i have managed to make the a Christmas card with my new SU stamp Silent night. I have seen so many lovely cards made with this stamp, all different colours have been used. I have used night of navy ink and the glittered with some glamour dust to give that lovely glistening effect. The card stock is also Night Of Navy, patterned papers are from the designer series bashful blue. I sadly don't have any Christmas greetings stamps so used one from my stash which i do believe is Stamp away. The brads and ribbon are also SU, MS doily punch for the frilly border.
I need to make some really quick Christmas cards so may just have a quick play this morning.
I hope the weather isn't to bad where you are?? Its sunshine and showers here in Cheshire, much like its been all week.
Oh i am hoping some kind blogger may be able to help me with editing my photos so that i have a plain white background :) I have PSP but just can't work it out :(

More FF Christmas

This is almost identical to the other FF card i made, just different layout but same papers and image etc The image once again has been coloured with PMS and Prisma pencils. I have used the snowflake punch once again, think i should try glittering it next time.
Jules i am hopping to get an SU! card posted tomorrow , so watch this space lol....

Forever Friends Christmas

Well here its another FF Christmas card made, i so love colouring in these cute lil bears. This one once again has been coloured with promarkers and prisma pencils. I have used the delicious papers by Martine again, i just love the colours so modern yet still traditional..
I have used a MS Stewart punch but can't remember which one it is, think its Zigzag. The greeting is also from Martine's paper set which i have punched out with my oval SU! punch. Oh and not forgetting that snowflake made with the Quickutz die, a little pearl added in the middle.
I hope you likey? Thanks for your encouraging comment on my last card it really did encourage me on to make some more.

Let It Snow

I am wondering how many people will still visit my blog as its been that long since i posted anything, or visited your blogs. I'm sorry i have been a bad blogger but other things have taken priority lately. I am hoping to get a few more cards made this week, especially Christmas cards.

This little cutie is a Forever friends stamp which i have coloured with Promarkers and prisma pencils. The backing papers and greeting has been made by Martine, over at 'The Craft Table' thank you for sharing these delicious papers. The snowflake was made with a quickutz die that i bought from Sue, a little fiddly to put together but i like it.

Well i hope to be back later in the week with some more Christmas cards. I have my SU stamp Silent Night all stamped and ready to put on a card

Its For You

I am sorry i haven't been around much lately but think my mojo is on holiday lol.. I have so many Christmas cards to make but am just not in the card making mood since coming back off my holidays. This little card was made for Kim's gallery over at Cuddly Buddly before i went on my hols, its a smashing little hedgehog and he has been coloured in with Prisma pencils. I am not to sure about the colour combo and layout of this card. The papers are all downloads from Kim's Christmas collection, as is the greeting stamp.
I hope my mojo returns real soon as think with the way postage is it the minute we will have to post our Christmas cards in November lol... I hope you arn't wait for crafting goodies via post !!!

little snowman

Yep its another Christmas card lol.. I certainly am ahead with the this year but still have many more to make so best get a move on. This lil cute snowman is from Cuddly Buddly he has been stamped and coloured with prisma pencils. The papers are all downloads from Cuddly Buddly in great festive colours, i love the tartan paper best of all. The greeting stamp is from the round greeting set from Cuddly Buddly. I have made this card into a wallet style where the top opens and there is a little pouch inside to add a cd or something similar. I am sorry about the pictures quality, it looks a little dull.
I am hoping to join in some challenges this weekend and get some more Christmas cards made. I sadly need to make a deepest sympathy card as my FILs wife passed away suddenly yesterday.
