It's James....

Happy Saturday folks and a wee card from me today!!

So I am getting ahead of the game and have been busy with DT cards last night and this morning which I obviusly cannot share just now however one to keep you going.... I bought this little cutie at the SECC and decided to have a play about with it this morning.  The stamp is from James - Peeping from LOTV which I coloured with copics and then did a bit shading with polychromos.  The paper is from MME - Hattie collection and layered onto kraft card.  I also layered the image onto a kraft square which I cut using my die-namics peirced square die and the flower is also a die-namics layered rose.  I fastened a button with some twine and added a little charm too....it actually says "Just for You" but it is teeny weeny!!  Not sure if I like it cos it's a bit plain for me but a quick card nevertheless!

Crafty Little Fairies DT card...

Good morning folks and my scheduled post....this photo maybe update when I come home from work as I didn't have time to take it in daylight, so you may be reading this after tonight in which case it may very well be updated!!

This was a bit of a mad rush as Holly has been poorly this week...she is such a bad patient..lol!!  Normally most people just get cosied up in bed well every 2 minutes she shouts...i am a total skivvy to her when she is ill!!  Anyway to make things worse and make me feel bad for sending her to school...she has a severe dose of tonsillitis and has a double course of antibiotics to take for 10 days...however on the positive she has been having lots of ice cream!!

so today's challenge over at Crafty Little Fairies is bows and brads.  I have used Dandelion clock and coloured her with copics, the papers are from The Sweet Shoppe.  I added my ribbon, bow and brad!!

A bit plain but I do like the colours.

Birthday wishes...

Howdy folks....what a gorgeous day it has been today...I hope it stays like this especially tomorrow for the perfect end to the tennis especially when Andy wins...mon the Murray!!

So a friend asked me if I would make a card for her daughter who is going to be 13 years old, so there was special requirements...a bit of pink, long hair in a braid....and a bee....well think I managed them all and she liked it...phew!!

The image is from A Day for Daisies which I coloured with copics and shaded a bit with polychromos.  The papers are Echo park Country Drive....love these!!  The sunflower has been cut with a die-namics die.  The numbers were in my stash, so I just inked them up and added some glitter and finished with some doodling and pearls.

Happy birthday Abby!!

Underwater Adventures...

Good morning folks....hopefully this is me getting back to normal. The school shopping is complete, the extra hours at is complete and Holly is much better now and on the mend and looking forward to going back to school.

I have been so desperate to make a start on the latest Sugar Nellie stamps so last night I finally managed a bit of time to colour and make this card. The papers have been in my stash forever but I though they were a perfect match, they are from Imaginsce - Splash collection. Te stamp is of course from Sugar Nellie - Aqua Marina which I coloured with copics. I added some blue lace and twine and attached a little turtle charm which was lying in my stash too. The sentiment is from CC Design - Beach Logos...there's a few in the set that matches the mermaids perfectly....added some pearls and lots of glitter to finish.
