Well Hi Folks,

Yes I know I was not meant to be doing any more crafting this week, but I came up with an idea that could not wait.

So here it is, I have used 2 backing papers, 1 green card stock, 1 cream card stock, sentiments, flowers and 2 brads, Sarah Kay image Spring Blossoms which I have coloured in using more cheap set of watercolour pencils which were a real bargin, but have used them as normal pencils.

Well it will really be thats all for this week folks as I am having the weekend off. So bye for now and have a lovely weekend, do take care and happy crafting, lol

LMC No 48 new card

Hi Folks,

What a shame about the weather but its given me more chance to catch up a bit more with my crafting. Here's probably my last for this week, I have used a old challenge for this one but yet again rather sadly the scanner has gone blurry again, its a shame as I am pleased with the effect of this card for a change.

I have used 2 backing papers which I got free in a magazine, 1 red bling card stock, pale pink card stock, cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots (of course) decoupaged flowers, silk flowers with a large pale pink brad, 1 red button, some red gem stones, tag punch, sentiments to be added later.

I do hope you like this one and until later, happy crafting and do take care, lol

LMC No 64

Hi Folks,

Dont seem to have got much done today, apart from this one card, oh well never mind.

For this week's challenge I have used one backing paper I got in a magazine, 2 sets of 2 bauble images coloured with Whispers pens even though you can not tell from the picture and mounted on red mirrored card stock, one gold ribbon with sentiments, Cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots, 2 red buttons and one gold coloured cracker brad.

I do hope you like this one, has not turned out quite as planned, but I will keep trying and until next time do take care, happy crafting

4 Quick Xmas Cards

Hi Folks,

This is what I got up to yestereday, I made 4 Xmas cards using the layout of LMC No 63.

To make them quick I used 2 different red xmas backing papers and 2 different gold xmas backing papers plus red and gold mirrored card stock and a white card stock. Them I have used 2 ribbons, various gme stones and buttons. Also I have used my tag punch and 4 different images which are coloured with Whispers Strokes Pens. I have used the red, gold and black theme as the idea was of Santa and how he is meant to be dressed.

I do hope you like these and until later, do take care and happy crafting, lol

LMC No 63 B

Hi Folks,

I enjoyed this weeks challenge so much I decided to do it again the only thing is this time I am not so sure. I was fine until I added the section with the image on, wondering if the card stock is too bright, but can not always tell.

I have used a card that was already made, 2 backing papers from a magazine, 1 sticky ribbon strip, 1 pink and white ribbon, 4 tiny little buttons, various gem stones, 2 shades of pink card stock, cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots and Whiff of Joy images Rope Swing and Sitting Bride.

I do hope you like this one and it would be interesting to know what you think about the coloured card stock, so until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol

Sugar Bowl Challenge No 15 (LMC No 63)

Hi Folks,

I thought this week I would do two challenges in one which is the Sugar Bowl and LMC No 63.

I have made a square card using white card stock, 2 main backing papers, 2 ribbons, purple card stock, cream puff card stock, 4 purple tiny little buttons, various lilac adhesive gem stones, tag punch, cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots and one of the new Sugar Nellie images Home Grown - First Dance.

I am rather pleased the with overall effect, has my mojo finally returned, oh I do hope so as I still have plenty to do.

Anyway, until next time do take care and happy crafting.

ps sorry about the colour which looks a bit of sickly yellow, picture would not come out any other way no matter what I did.

LMC NO 62 Version 2

Hi Folks,

This will be my last item for this week and as I have been wanting to have another go at this challenge but with some alterations to it I decided to give it another bash.

I have used a rather large card for more effect, pale pink card stock, 2 dark coloured backing papers with pink, black card stock, various pink gem stones, Decoupage Roses in pinks, prima flowers in pinks, 1 gem stone brad, cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots and Spellbinders Nestabilities scallops.

Expanding Bags

Hi Folks,

This is an idea I got from another lovely crafter who for my birthday sent me one of these. This is how I got the template for them but mine are not as good as hers (Little Bo).

All I have used is cream coloured card stock, 5 envelopes for each, backing paper, image, ribbon, flowers, gem stones and my Crop-a-Dile.

I do hope you like and until next time do take care, lol

LMC NO 62

Hi Folks,

Hope this finds you all well, not doing much crafting at the mo as mojo gone south it seems, but I have tried this week's Loretta Challenge which is pastels.

I have used a cream card, pale blue/lilac card stock, 2 various lilac backing papers, cream card stock, various buttons in 2 sizes, various small gem stones and one decouped image of cup, saucer, spoon and flowers. I have left sentiments area blank to use for whatever I wish to use it for in the future.
