One for the men!

This is another card I made at our crop yesterday. I wanted to colour it in lovely bright colours and ended up making a pink and blue card. Not sure who I will send it to yet but I'm sure there are a few men out there who would appreciate receiving this!!! The image is from Kenny K and its coloured with Promarkers. I also coloured the ribbon and put a little stickles around the outer layer. The papers were originally from a craft magazine but I cant remember which one, sorry. The greeting at the bottom is a rub on.

Im off to do a little more colouring now and will be back again tomorrow.

Bye for now x

Crop time!

Well today has been a day of sitting crafting with the only interruptions being for a cuppa or the loo!!!! There were quite a few ladies today all having fun and a good old chat as its the first time we've met since Christmas. Our last crop was cut short because of the awful white stuff falling but today we had no problems.

The first card I made is a New Home one. I haven't made one of these for ages and the image is from Mo's Digital Pencil. I coloured it in with Promarkers and mat and layered using papers from my stash. I think the papers originally came from Making Cards magazine. I finished with stickles glitter around the edges and some flowers and brads. The greeting was printed on the computer.

I will post another card tomoro as I want to get into a regular habit of blogging. Please come back and take a look and if you wish to leave any comments.

Happy crafting

I soooo love my......

Postman! He is just the best. He realised I wasn't home yesterday so left a little parcel for me with my neighbour. As soon as I'd dropped my son at school this morning I called to collect it and this is what I got ........

 23 Promarkers and 3 tubes of Pinflair Glue. I ordered these Sunday evening from Cards of Distinction and they were delivered Tuesday. I always buy from the same place now as the Promarkers are the cheapest I have found, p&p is free over £12 and the service is wonderful and quick. So guess what I've been doing for a little while today?????












This next card is one I made at the weekend. It looks quite simple but took me ages as I kept losing pieces of card!! The backing card is embossed with Swiss Dots on my Cuttlebug. The flower is layered with silicone glue and I used an embossing tool to help curl the petals before gluing. I added a ribbon which I coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment on the base of the card is a rub-on.

Got some more cards that I'm working on at the mo and one that I will be able to show after Friday! It's my lovely friend Colleen's birthday and I'm hoping she will love the card I have made her!! Will post pics asap so please come back and visit me again.

Your comments are most welcome.

Happy crafting :)

My day out was brill.....

...apart from the weather!!
Well yesterday dear people I went to London with a lovely friend of mine from work, Colleen. We had tickets to see the auditions of Britains Got Talent at Hammersmith Apollo. After waiting in the rain for an hour we were finally let in to dry off (we had priority tickets so were one of the first few people to get in and be seated). We sat to the left of the judges, who were Louis Walsh, standing in for David Hasselhoff, Amanda Holden and Michael McIntyre. The hosts of course were the gorgeous Ant and Dec. Because of where we were sitting we had a wonderful view of them in the wings the whole time too as they dont come back on stage due to interviewing auditionees before and after they come on the stage!!! Well I must say there were some good people (and also some bad!) who auditioned and you must look out for 12yr old Rowan who sang. He was brill and had us all on our feet. He will go far! At the end I was lucky enough to shake hands and speak to Amanda and Louis. They were lovely. Hoping to try and get tickets for the show again when it gets to the live shows, fingers crossed!

The wonderful Ant & Dec before it all got started!

My New Year's Resolution.....

is to blog more often than I have been. I spend so much time perusing through all the wonderful blogs on here and seeing all the lovely cards and items you all come up with that it cuts my crafting time down!! Less time on here looking and more time doing I think from now on.  Anyway start as I mean to go on so for 1/1/11 this is my 1st blog entry. No pic Im afraid at the mo as only just getting all my crafty bits out again after Christmas (and I am actually still going to be busy working up until Tuesday!). There are some projects in the pipeline tho so will be getting those done in the spare minutes I have!

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy New Year and here's to many lovely cards we will all be making and posting on here.

Happy Crafting
