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

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.
