Hi all

Blogger playing up again and it’s driving me nuts, anyway I am here now.

The image is called Sprouts Butterfly and is from Moon Cookie Gallery, there are 12 different butterflies in the collection to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice, all the new release images are available from Whimsy Stamp Store.

Whimsy is also having a blog hop today to show off all the new releases, so why not pop over and join in the fun.

Christmas Card

Good Afternoon all, It’s very windy and dusty here today so that’s an excuse not to do the dusting, so I made a Christmas card for a change, I was going to post it this morning but blogger has been playing up with me again agggg.

I used an image from Bugaboo and coloured him with Copic  and a bit of glitter, the papers are Basic Grey. 

The snowflakes are made with an M/S punch and I cut all the little snowflakes to make them separate, then covered them all in Christmas glitter and added a Kaban bling piece to the centre, finishing off with a nice red bow, plain but I like it.

I have entered the following challenges.

Bugaboo – Red, White and Blue

Christmas Stamping – Photo Inspiration

Paper Play Time – Red, White and Blue

Squigglyfly – Red, White and Blue

I also wanted to tell you about an up and coming event that is happening at Bugaboo, Christmas in July including blog hop, Events, Prizes and lots of Surprises!

 

I cannot wait for the fun to begin as I love Bugaboo images.

Thanks for popping by my place and I shall see you all later, have a great day all.

Birthday Card

Good Morning ladies
I have not been able to post on blogger for the past few days, is anyone else having the same problem? Or is it just a clitch on my page?

Anyway I am here now and today I have a card to show you I made for a friends daughter‘s Birthday.

The image is from Kathy at Stamps Art Design and called Raggedy Girl, you can find all Kathy’s images at the Whimsy Store, she’s so cute and I loved colouring her up.

Yesterday I decided to clear my craft room up and have a sort out and move things around, now I cannot find a darn thing lol, wish I have never started.

I bought a new tag die and was really looking forward to using it, I remember putting it on my desk and it has never been seen since, it’s either in the bin when I swept the rubbish off my desk and put the bag outside or it’s in such a safe place it will never be seen again untill I have another clear out aggggg, if you see a woman going through the rubbish it’s not a bag lady it’s me hehehehe.



Thank you for popping by my place again, it’s so good to see you and also read your comments, I do appreciate it. Have a good day all.

Busy Busy

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re all having a good day, it’s very hot and humid here.

Onto my card for today and this is a commission card that is going to the UK for a friends hubby, I have not put the sentiment onto it as I could not remember what she said ekkkkk so I did two for her, one with Happy Birthday hubby and one with his name on, so she can take her pick.

By request is a Bicardi bottle and chocolate image, that I ran through my Xron to make them into stickers then added to the card, so we can guess what he likes lol, I hope she likes the card!

I have used a Bugaboo image coloured with Copic and Sakura glitter pens also using Basic Grey papers which have been distressed with Tim Holtz ink, finishing with a bit of glitz in the corners.

I have entered it into the following challenges

Catch the Bug- It’s a Man’s World

Meljen Digi Release at Whimsy

Hi Ladies
I had to go out this morning to the hospital and I forgot to post my card this morning and I have only just got back, so better late than never I say.

I made this card with one of the new releases from Meljen designs that are out today, you can find this new image and a lot more over at Whimsy Stamps.

I just love this cute stamp which was coloured with copic, the papers are Basic Grey, for a change I used Bo Bunny flowers and added gold gems in the middle and to the corners also a gold corner to match, the sentiment is computer generated.
I nearly made a boo boo on this card and put the image upside down but I realised before I fixed it down to the card….. phew!!


Thanks for popping by my place again and happy crafting.
