Monochrome Christmas

Hello my lovely blog friends!  Sorry not been around much, been very busy with Christmas cards and I was determined not to blog or do any challenge cards until they were signed, sealed and delivered!  All that is done now, I always breathe a sigh of relief when the Christmas cards are posted, I feel like I can relax! 

So now all that is done I have done a card for the Without Words Challenge and the theme is Monochrome Christmas.  Now I know I have done all my Christmas cards for this year but nothing like an early start for next is there!

I promise you the card is not on the squint, its my photo taking!

The stamp is from Lili of the Valley and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.  The paper is also from Lili : Krafty Christmas.

The brown card is from stash and I punched the snowflakes out of the same brown card.

Something A Little Different

Good Afternoon one and all.  Hope you are all managing to keep warm!  Freezing here, it was raining when I first dragged myself out of my nice snugly and warm bed this morning but that has cleared up and even though its sunny its bitterly cold!  The furthest I have gone today is to nip to the bird table to make sure my feathered friends have plenty of food and then dashed back in!  I do not intend to go any where at all today!

Here is a card which was an order from a friend of mine for their aunt's 80th birthday.  She loves flowers so this is what I came up with:

The card base is from Cupcake Crafting.  They have lots of lovely different styles of card blanks on their site.  The decoupage is from a sheet I have had forever and no idea where I got it from.

Right, I'm off for a cuppa and then finished putting inserts into my Christmas cards!

Have a lovely afternoon everyone.

And Another One!

I'm back again folks this time with a card for Crafty Catz Challenge which is Snowflakes Stars Sentiment:

The image, which was another freebie from a craft mag, has been coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and paper is from the Papermania Christmas Tidings pack.  The image is a stamp but I cannot remember from where, the gold card is from stash.  The snowflakes and stars for this challenge are in the papers and of course star on the Christmas tree!

Right, I'm off for a cuppa now and a cuddle with my Roly!

Glamour and Glitz

Good afternoon everyone and hope you have managed to avoid the nasty storms that have been hitting us all.  We had heavy rain last night and was quite blustery this morning but it has settled down now and the sun is out and even though its very cold it is a beautiful afternoon.

The Less Is More Challenge this week is Glamour and Glitz:

The image is a freebie from a craft magazine and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.  I have glittered her to within an inch of her life, using Sakura stardust pens on her dress, shawl, head-dress and jewellery but it does not show in the photo.

Talk About Last Minute!

Good afternoon bloggers!  Goodness it is soooo cold here and now its gone very dark and raining brrrr.  Not a day for being out and about but we nipped into town this morning, I needed a new pair of boots and ended up getting Den a new pair of shoes too!

Last night, about 9.30 ish, as I was just about to make a cuppa for us both, raid the cupboard for a biscuit or two or three and then flump on the sofa Den got a text message from a friend of ours 'can Lynda do a birthday card for my mum, she likes fairies and I need it for tomorrow morning'!  I nearly had a heart attack!  At that time of night!!!! You got to be joking!  Anyway, a hour later it was finished but I do not want shocks like that again especially as I was half asleep!

Image is coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and glittered her wings.  The papers are from Forever Friends Pink Parfait.

The sentiment is computer generated and the green and pink card and pink rose are from stock.

Whizz Bang!

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all managing to keep warm and snug.  Very cold and frosty here, though I must say I do like a frost, looks so pretty!  Yep I know, I'm weird but it makes my life interesting!

The Without Words Challenge Blog this month is Whizz Bang, in other words, bright colours!  This is my take on it:


The image is from a set by Papermania called Christmas Tree and is coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.  I have also used Sakura Stardust pens for highlights and the tinsel is silver glitter.

Going Down Under!

Good afternoon one and all!  Hope everyone is well, there seems to be a lot of bugs and germs going round, a few of my friends have been ill with colds, sickness and tummy bugs.  I've managed to keep germ free and hoping to stay like that!

Just go back from collecting Roly from the hairdresser after having his hair cut.  It had got really long and he looked bedraggled so we had to have his hair cut.  Luckily his hairdresser knows at this time of year he does not want a 'summer cut' so he does not cut as much off, don't want my little boy getting a chill!

The card below is a special order for a teacher who Den works with.  I have got one on sale at the school and she wanted it exactly the same with a different greeting.  She is going to send it to friends who live in Australia:

Sorry for the terrible quality of the picture it was taken in bad light but at this time of year what other sort of light is there!!!

The image is from a Forever Friends set called Cosy Christmas and is coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.  The sentiment is computer generated and everything else is from stash.

Less Is More

Hello my lovely blog buddies, hope you are all keeping well.  My goodness, hasn't the weather turned cold?!  Brrrrrrr.  Definitely the time of year for staying indoors where its warm and cosy and playing!

This is my first challenge for months!  I have missed doing them so much!  I am entering this in the Less Is More Challenge - Houses:

I must apologise for the quality of the photo, the light here is just so bad.  I really must invest in a day light lamp. 

The image is a freebie digital stamp which I have had for ages and cannot for the live of me remember where I got it from.  I really must remember to keep a note!  I have coloured it with Spectrum Noir pens.

Things That Go Bump!

Hello lovely bloggers!  Goodness it seems ages since I posted anything and I notice that the new interface is up and running and can't turn it back to the 'old and familiar' lay-out - grrr.  Never mind I suppose I will get used to it - eventually!

This card is for the Without Words Challenge Blog the theme of which is Things That Go Bump:

The image is a freebie digital stamp and I cannot for the life of me remember where I got it from.  It has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens and the green and purple card are from stash.  Sorry for the quality of the picture, it is really dull here today.

Friday 26 October 2012

I'M BACK!!!

Hello lovely blog friends, I am back at last!   Finally got my new computer last night and I am delierous with happiness!

So take care everyone, I will be visiting you soon!

Love to you all xxxxx

Good morning lovely bloggers, hope you are all well and you are having a good week.

My hubby is very happy today, his skip has arrived so he is busy clearing out mum's house and filling the skip!  Which in turn makes me happy 'cos he is out of the house, out of my hair and I can have a quick play before I go off to meet my friend Andrea for a cuppa and a chat!

I would like to enter this card in the Less Is More Challenge

Not A Happy Zippy

Hello all my lovely blog friends!  Hope you are having a lovely weekend.  My weekend has not started off very well.  I ordered a skip for Den as he is clearing out mum's house.  I ordered this on Wednesday and told them wanted it Saturday morning, it will be on the street so would need a permit from the Council which usually takes a couple of days.  It was the manager of the firm I spoke to and he said it would be with us between 8 a.m. - 9 a.m.  9.30 arrives and no skip.  So I rang the firm to be told it would not be coming!!!  WHAT!!!!! Apparently the manager had not passed on the details to the office staff so no permit had been sorted and without the permit we could not have the skip!  Poor girl, she couldn't apologise enough, but it wasn't her fault, just the stupid manager!  As I said to Den, if it had been the office staff who had not got the permit they would be in trouble but who is going to tell the manager off - no one!  Anyway, another skip will be ordered in the week and rant is now over! 


The Penny Black image has been coloured with Promarkers.

Papers are Papermania Lucy Cronwell and Pink Petticoat Vintage Rose Collection (free with a craft mag). 

Ribbon is Papermania Capsule Collection - Sunshine.

Everything else is from stash.

Summertime

Hello everyone and a big Hello and hugs to my lovely new follower Carole Sweeney.  Please visit her blog the link for which is listed under my 'Blogs That Inspire Me' - Carole's Creative Critters.  Her blog is fantastic!  Do pop over and visit her. 

The Penny Black Saturday Challenge for this month is Summertime and we certainly seem to be having that at the moment!  But the forecast for where I am is not good for next week, dull, cold and rain.  Typical, Den is on holiday next week so it was bound to rain!  Never mind, I will keep him busy in the house, I've got plenty for him to do!

The Penny Black image has been coloured with Promarkers and the papers used are Me To You Spring Chic.

The Sun Has Got His Hat On

Hip hip hooray!  We have had some glorious weather here, just like Summer in fact!  Been so nice to sit outside for a change!  Hope the weather is being kind to you where ever you are!

My Little Pony

Hello again, I'm back!  Now I really must apologise for the rubbish photo, the card really isn't crooked its just my terrible photography and the fact that I really do need to go to Specsavers which reminds me, I had a voucher for a free eye test drop though my door yesterday so I will be using it very soon!

I have coloured the image with Promarkers and everything else is from stash.  I also used crystal glitter on the rim of the hat.

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are having a fab weekend.  We have actually got sun today!  Wooohoooo!  It was so warm and sunny this morning that myself, Den and Roly had our breakfast outside, it was great and seems ages since we did that!  Hope its here to stay for a while.

Blue & Orange

Morning everyone, hope you are all enjoying your day!

When I saw the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge for this week of Blue & Orange, I thought yuck!  They are not colours I would have thought would go together but when I saw the fab samples from the Design Team I decided to give it a go:

Image is coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment is from a set by Craftwork Cards.

Lets Party!

Good afternoon one and all, hope you had a good weekend.

I have been very busy this weekend doing party invitations for a friend of mine.  Her little girl is 5 shortly and she wants a beach theme party so I was asked to do the invites. 

I never done invites before but luckily I was told exactly what the image was wanted and the wording inside - a great help!

And the inside:



I must say I really enjoyed doing them as I had not done invites before!  

The image is a digital stamp coloured with Promarkers and the pink card is from stash.  Wording is computer generated.

Sorry for the quality of the photos, the light is quite bad here today.

Up, Up And Away

Good afternoon everyone and I hope you are all well and having a good day.  Its been sunny here now for TWO WHOLE DAYS!   A record I think!  So I've been making the most of it and got all my washing hung out, it will probably rain now!

The challenge at Reddy Teddy Go is Up, Up And Away:

I have used a Lili Of The Valley stamp and coloured it with Promarkers.

Papers are from Daisy & Dandelion Picnic Patch and the flourishes from Marianne.  Everything else is from stash.

White On White

When I saw this week's Winter Wonderland Challenge I nearly headed for the hills!  But then I remembered I have some fab Cuttlebug embossing folders and came up with this:

Nothing much to say about it really other than the folders are Cuttlebug and ribbon and card are from stash.

Gardener's World

I really admire a lovely garden and also the people who have put the time and effort into it.  I am not in any way green fingered but I wish I was!  That's why our garden is paved and pebbled plus a well tendered garden and dogs do not go well together!  We have a couple of bedding boxes which we intend to put plants in, well, I say we, more like a friend of ours who loves nothing better than being in the garden!  I always tell people now that I have my own gardener, sounds very grand! 

The image is from a set by Helz Cuppleditch called Happy Harvest and has been coloured with Promarkers.  As the image is quite large I decided to keep it clean and simple as I think papers would have been a bit too much.

I am entering this card in the Cute Card Thursday Challenge - Gardener's World.

A Happy Accident

Hello again I'm back!  This time with a card that I wish to enter in two challenges:

Joanna Sheen Challenge - Going Round In Circles
Lili's Little Fairies - Anything Goes

The stamp is from Lili Of The Valley and coloured with Promarkers.

I have used a X Cut nesting die.

Papers are : Dovecraft Back To Basics and Papermania Olivine Essence.

Everything else is from stash.

And the happy accident?  The image has two little flowers which I coloured and then used a Stardust pen for the centre of the flowers.  I ended up smudging one so had to think quick and came up with using a little sparkly flower from my stash.  It looked odd with just one flower embellishment so I used another one for the other side!  At least I think its a happy accident!


Gold

Good afternoon everyone!  Hope you are all enjoying your weekend and are managing to keep dry!  We have actually had sun again here today - wooohooooo!  It is quite warm too so Roly has been able to do his favourite thing, apart from eating and walking and sleeping that is - sun bathing!

The Less Is More Challenge this week is colour, namely Gold.  This really stumped me then I decided to do some gold embossing.  Big mistake!  I must have taken about a dozen photos to get one anywhere near looking somewhat decent, so I apologise for the bad photo, I think I have tried every room in the house to take this photo, but all came out looking bad!  I do assure you though, it is gold embossed!

I have used a sentiment stamp from Craftwork Cards and the flourishes and frame are from a pack of freebies in a craft mag.  The embossing powder is gold embossing tinsel from Heat It Up. 

Saturday 7 July 2012

Summertime

Eh? What's that I hear you say.  Something in the far and distant past when we used to have seasons and Summer was something to be happy and cheerful about and you didn't need to wear a cardi!  Definitely not now though, although I did see a UFO in the sky this morning, a bright yellow disc, very strange and I should have taken a photo for you all to see and discuss what it could possibly be!  Our neighbour was muttering that it could be the sun but he wasn't sure!  I have heard that it is forecast to rain for another month, lets hope they are wrong, they have been before!

Anyway, Crafty Sentiment's Designs are celebrating Summer with their latest challenge:

This is a Wild Rose Studio image coloured with Promarkers.  The sentiment is from a pack of sentiments from Craftwork Cards.

Papers are : Dovecraft Back to Basics and Fizzy Moon Celebrations.

Buttons are Papermania Capsule Collection - Aqua.

Everything else is from stash.

Friday 6 July 2012

Summer Blooms

Its anything but Summer here!  Rain is hammering down, its windy and so dark outside more November to me!

At least doing Summer themed cards can hopefully cheer you up as with Penny Black & More Challenge whose theme is Summer Blooms:

Sorry for the awful photo, will try and take another one later when the light gets better!

The image is from a Penny Black T for Transparent pack called Wonderful and has been coloured with Promakers.  The sentiment is from the same pack.

Papers are Daisy & Dandelion Picnic Patch and everything else is from stash.

Summer Daze

Hello everyone, and a very big warm welcome to my lovely new followers!  Its lovely having lots of new friends come visit and I am looking forward to visiting you too!

The weather here is still just as bad (as I am sure it is just about everywhere), today we have rain then sun, rain then sun, it just can't make its mind up! 

To make me think it is Summer I am entering the following card in Joanna Sheen's Challenge the theme of which is Summer Daze:

The image is from Stampavie Laurence Collection and has been coloured with Promarkers.


Papers are : Me to You - Especially For You and Pink Petticoat Vintage Rose Collection both of which were freebies with craft mags.


Everything else is from stash.

Thought you may like to see this photo I took of Roly the other day.  He has got a doggy treat in his mouth.  It made me chuckle 'cos I think it looks like he has got a cigar or pipe sticking out!

Patriotic!

Evening everyone, hope you have had a good weekend.  I haven't been able to play much this weekend, yesterday just flew by so quickly and today our nephew came down to see us and brought one of his young sons so we all had fun playing out in the garden.  Roly couldn't believe he had so many people to play with him all at once!
 
The Lili of the Valley image has been coloured with Promarkers and I have used white frosted glitter for the centre of the flower.  Everything else is from stash.

Show Us Your Metal

Which is the theme for Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge that is to use metal on a card be it pins, brads, charms etc so I have used silver brads in the centre of the flowers:

The image, called Daisy, is a Suger Nellie stamp and is coloured with Promarkers.  

Papers used are Me To You Spring Chic and sentiment is an Anita's stamp.

The pink card and brads are from stash.  I have punched the flowers out of the blue backing paper and the pink card.   

Tuesday 26 June 2012

Play Time!

Hello and big warm hugs to my new followers!  It is wonderful to see you and looking forward to visiting you all very soon!

Christmas Teddy

Good morning one and all, hope your week has got off to a good start!  We have actually got sun today, don't expect it to last though!

I did this card yesterday but didn't round to posting it.  This is for the Winter Wonderland Challenge and the theme this week is Christmas Teddy:

The stamp is from Forever Friends Cosy Christmas set and coloured with Promarkers.  As it is quite a large image I decided to keep it simple as I think papers would have drowned it.  I paper pieced the parcel with some Christmas backing papers but I do not know what make, it was just a spare bit floating around!

The red card and peel-offs are from stash.

Less Is More - Week 73

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all having a good weekend and are managing to keep dry!  I thought this morning I was going to have to get Den to build an Ark the rain was so heavy but thankfully the rain stopped, the sun came out and Den put his hammer and nails away!  

The Less Is More Challenge this week is paper piecing.  This is something that I have not done a great deal of but must say I enjoyed making this card:

The leaves and grass were coloured with Promarkers.  The paper for the flowers and green card are from stash.
 

Wednesday 20 June 2012

The papers are from Daisy & Dandelion Picnic Patch and Forever Friends All Loved Up.

The pink card, gems and flowers are all from stash.

Sorry for the quick post, got a poorly mum downstairs so don't want to leave her too long!

Something Shiny

Good morning everyone, hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  Den has had to go into work this morning so until he arrives home and we go off shopping I did a card for this week's Less Is More Challenge which is Something Shiny:

The stamps are from a set that came free with a craft magazine and I have had them ages.  I'm afraid I do not know what make they are.  I have coloured them with Promarkers.  The butterfly has also been coloured with Sakura stardust pens and also highlighted some of the flowers with the stardust pens.  For the centre of the flowers I have used gems.
