Betty Bowling - DigiStamp Boutique

Hello Everyone
It's been a while!!  I've almost forgotten how to colour and make cards. 

I have a box on my desk that is full of printed out digi images that I have never got round to colouring. This particular one must have been sat there for years as it's from DigiStamp Boutique and it's called 'Betty Bowling'.

I've coloured her with promarkers and copics. The background papers are scraps from Craft Creations and Echo Park. I've used a Die-namics picket fence die, A Memory Box puffy cloud die, a Lawn Fawn sun die and and x-cut flower punch. The sentiment stamp is from Uniko.

A card!!

Good Morning Everyone, 
Cricket season has started, and Emma is back playing which means my crafty time has stopped!!  She plays for 4 different teams and had 6 games last week! I'm spending a lot of evenings on the edge of a cricket field...in my winter coat!! Where's the sunshine?!!

Phoebe - DigiStamp Boutique

Good Morning Everyone, 
I'm worn out from sitting on a cricket field all weekend! Emma had her first game yesterday afternoon for an adult women's team. She opened the bowling with a wicket maiden..not bad for a 12 year old(almost 13)!

Anyway onto the cardmaking...it's a bit hit and miss at the minute. When I get time to do some crafting my mojo has gone for a walk...
This is an old image from DigiStamp Boutique - Phoebe from The Besties set.

I've coloured her with promarkers and the background papers are Anna Marie Designs. I've used a Hunkydory flower die and a Die namics picket fence die.

Alyssa Relaxing

Hello Everyone
I needed a birthday card for a friend at work and I knew this image would be perfect for her. It's called Alyssa Relaxing from DigiStamp Boutique and although the shop is now closed I couldn't resist using her.

I've coloured her with promarkers and the papers are from Anna Marie Designs. I've used a Creative Expressions Peony die and a Joanna Sheen leaf die.
Cricket has taken over in our house again. Emma had 2 games yesterday so we left the house at 9am and didn't get home until 6.30pm! It was amusing seeing her trying to get changed in the car going from one match to the next whilst trying to eat her dinner!
  Thanks for taking the time to come and see my little blog, I really appreciate your visits.

Farm or Jungle at As You Like It

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you are all well and keeping safe. 
It's been two weeks since the last challenge at As You Like It..and here we are again ready for another one! This week the theme is....

Farm Animals or Jungle Animals

(Don't forget to explain why)

I don't really go for either of these so after a root through my digi files and stamps I discovered I had a few more 'Farm' animals than jungle animals.

So, for today's card I have used this adorable cow from DigiStamp Boutique.

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from Joy Crafts. I've used a Die namics flower die and picket fence die. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

It's Alf!

Good Morning Everyone, 
My blog has been a little bit neglected of late...can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I last posted anything. Mr Mojo went on his holidays and every time I sat down to make a card....nothing! I ended up at the local supermarket yesterday to buy a card for my Dad (yes, I did say 'buy!'). I decided there was no way I was going to give him a supermarket card so I finally pulled up my big girl pants and made one!

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from my box of scraps. I've used a First Edition die set, Memory Box cloud die, a Die naims fence die and a Lawn Fawn sun. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

Hello Everyone, 
Emma had a brilliant cricket match on Monday and took 3 wickets against the U13 team. They lost in the end but continued to play in the rain with thunder overhead and still all the girls came off the field smiling.

DigiStamp Boutique now comes under the umbrella of Lili of the Valley and you can find some of Sally-Ann's gorgeous images there.
This is.....BBQ Stan
