This is for Elaine...

Oh Elaine I am so enjoying colouring with these DI's...if there's anybody out there that's thinking about it, then I would definitely recommend it...so easy but the secret is good brushes and good card. I have used "This Little Light" from Sugar Nellie...she is fab to colour regardless what you use...but I have Distress Inks. The papers are from Fancy Pants - Happy Together collection. I cut the daisy 3 times and layered them to make a fuller daisy. Now greens like this isn't normally a colour I would go for but I have to say I am so chuffed with this one and I just had to post it now....hope you likey!!

Ship ahoy...or is it land ahoy??

Well I still haven't done my hoovering today...got sidetracked with some internet shopping!! Not sure if I like this one or not...I think the oval is too big, perhaps if it was smaller then it would be better but hey ho!! The stamp is from LOTV and I have coloured this little cutie with Promarkers. The papers are Kaisercraft and MME - Fly a Kite. I have entered the following challenges.

The stamp is from Sugar Nellie, coloured with DI's and the papers are from MME - Fly a Kite collection...now I really must do some hoovering but more later!!

I used Kaisecraft - Utopia papers, the image is Fashionista from Sugar Nellie, coloured with DI's, I distressed the edges of each of the layers and the flowers have been cut with my fabby little MFT flower die-namic die....oh and I inked the edges of the circles with the blue DI that I used to colour the image....hope you like!!

I'm back...

Hi folks...I'm back. I would just like to say a huge thanks for everyones lovely comments whilst Holly was in hospital, she was discharged late on Saturday afternoon and is on the mend.

So after last weeks events I missed my DT posts for the weekend so first of all the challenge this week over at Sweet Stampin' is "playing in the summer sun". I have used MME - Fly a Kite papers collection. The stamp is one of my favourite boy stamps from LOTV and I coloured him with copics. I added a couple of clouds which were cut using a MFT die-namics cloud die and I made the sun with a sizzix daisy and chopped off the ends of the petals, I added a little sizzix star.

A wee quickie....and candy winner

Hi folks...I have been AWOL this week and it looks like possibly over the weekend too. Holly has been hospital since the beginning of the week as she cut her thumb on a piece of barbed wire and the dodctors thought that it was either infected or she had damaged the tendons. They hoped by keeping her the drip this would reduce the swelling and she would have movement back in her thumb however this hasn't been happening fast enough. Today another plastic surgeon assessed her and decided that she has severed a nerve and needs surgery so she is being fasted from midnight tonight in the hope that she can have the op in the morning although it depends if there's emergencies through the night that need priority treatment, so all being well she will be home late on tomorrow.

I am also late in letting you know about the fab new look Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog...it looks amazing and Abi you are fab, wonderful job you have made of the new look...I can only take a tiny piece of credit for my little contribution!!

And another lateness...my candy winner....
