A little bit of friendship...

Happy Sunday folks...well looks like it's back the the normal Scottish rainy weather!!  So I suppose that means crafting time...lol!!

I sat and coloured this little cutie last night however the dress is not quite the right colour however I think it still looks ok.

So the stamp is from Personal Impressions - A Bluebird's Proposal which I coloured with copics.  The papers are digi papers from The Sweet Shoppe...Oh I love them, they are so my colours!!  I layered each of the papers on to brown card, added some stitching and then also distressed each of the layers.  I added a piece of blue lace under one of the layers. I also added little pearls to each of the corners.  The flourish has been cut with my Magnolia fancy flourish die and the flower is a MFT layered rose...I added a pearl brad through the centre to hold it all together....then added a little ribbon to finish off.

A little bit manly...

 

Good morning Sunday bloggers...where has the sun gone??  It was roasty toasty yesterday but looks like we are back to the normal dull weather today.

So my mum asked me to make her a card for a friend who is going to be 70, she wanted something with a cowboy theme as he was cowboy daft when he was younger.  I told her the only image I had was a half naked man wearing a cowboy hat....and she said that would be perfect....lol!!

So I have used papers from Carta Bella Giddy Up Boy, the image is from Victoria Case which I coloured with copics.  I added some twine and attached a cowboy hat charm and punch out a star and added the numbers to it...oh and some doodles!!

Aw.....cute as a bug...

 

Good morning folks....yes I know it's unusual to get a post from me today but I am on holiday from work for a few days.....yay cardmaking...maybe some housework too!!

I was at a loose end last night so I sat and coloured this little image, the stamp is called Sympathy Bugs from Whimsy Stamps.  I coloured it with copics and shaded with polychromos.  The papers are from MME - Lost and found Oliver.  I distressed each of the layers of paper aswell as the layers of card...something a bit different for me.  the flowers have been cut withvarious die-namics rolled rose dies and I have also added in a Prima flower...think it's made from resin and then I added some stickles...hope you likey.

Let it Snow....

Good morning bloggers...well it's certainly not snowing here as yet although there is snow further north in Scotland but it is absolutely chucking it down. Last night I took Holly and her friend to the winter wonderland which opened and again it was pouring!! They loved it, there was ice skating, lots of snow and ice type rides and oh hot chocolate and of course the beautiful Christmas lights....twas lovely!! We will be going nearer Christmas again, probably when it is actually snowing but we will have a look around the German Market next time.

So before I get on with some chores i thought I would share my card with you..now I did colour this Santa in last week but didn't really have time to make him into a card so here we are!!

I have used scraps of paper I had in my stash from October Afternoon - Very Merry, the Santa is from Sugar Nellie and I coloured him with copics, I added some sparkle to his furry bits and the added a message and a glitzed up snowflake...hope you like!!

Thank You....

Well hi Bloggers and something a bit different from me...no characters!! As some of you know I hosted a SU party a couple of weeks ago and we did brilliantly and I managed to get quite a lot of hostess pounds...woo hoo!! This stamp is from one of the sets and I have to say I am so chuffed with it especially as it's not my normal kind of stamp but i am loving this little set, it's called Faith in Nature. I coloured the image with DI's and then edged the edged the card with DI too, then I ran it through the Bigshot in a dotty embossing folder, then scuffed some of the raised dots just to lift off some of the ink. I then layered it onto the papers from Jillybean Soup - Apple Cheddar, added a couple of buttons and the message,which is from the same set....hope you like!!

Remember to pop back tomorrow for the birthday celebrations at Sweet Stampin' and the Simply Sassy blog hop...so looks like you are going to be busy tomorrow!!
