Good Morning All

Hope you are well this morning ... I think the temperature is starting to rise here in Essex so hopefully this snow will disappear soon ... It's so pretty to look but not good to drive in lol

Here's mine .....

This is the gorgeous Koala Tilda all the way from SHOPBRON in Oz and I've coloured her with Copics, the paper is from a paper stack by Echo Park - Victoria Gardens, the tree is my new purchase from Memory Box ... just love it!! ...and I've added some punched out butterflies and finished off with pearls, the lace netting is from a bouquet of flowers I received this week (waste not, want not LOL) and the sentiment is one of mine from a set of 6 digital downloads LINE SENTIMENTS - EVERYDAY and I've printed it onto Letraset Safmat which then acts like a rub on :)

Brrrr ... a very cold day here in Essex ... me thinks I'll stay in the warm and craft :)

Thought I'd stop by and show you a card I made for my friend DI .. her birthday was a week ago but I couldn't post it until now as I've only just seen her this weekend and gave it to her lol 

It was my birthday this weekend just gone as well and Di & me treated ourselves to an all day Scrapbook Crop with the lovely Jackie Da Silva - we had such fun .. scroll down for a piccie :)

Anyway here's the card I made her and I have to say I've just discovered SATURATED CANARY digi images .. they are gorgeous ... I will definitely be adding more of these to my collection :)

This little beauty is called WHISPY and I've coloured her with Copics, the DP is from Prima and I've glittered and embellished the flower corner, the butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch and the sentiment is one of mine which will be available very soon when my new Digi Sentiment shop opens :)

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TOBY

Morning All

Well ... we had lots of white stuff arrive during the night and I woke up to a very pretty scene in my garden this morning ...

our little Westie - Skye - bless her she "disappeared" in the snow what with her being white and small :)

Anyway ... on to my card ... It's my Great Nephew's 1st Birthday today and we was supposed to be going over to see him later but that's had to be cancelled now due to the weather :( .. but here's the card I made for him ..

I love this Mo Manning image .. just so cute ... he's called TEX and I've coloured him with a combination of Copics / Promarkers, cut out some nestie stars and added a sentiment to the middle .. it's one of mine from a set of 6 digital downloads - SPLIT CIRCLES - I've added a chipboard "1" and inked the edge, and a "Sheriff Star" charm to finish

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRINA

Morning All

Well .. I'm finally getting back to normal after all the Christmas and New Year frivolities lol ... we had a quiet one and didn't do much so it takes a while to get back to reality ... you know... washing, ironing, housework etc.

and I promise I will join you her more often now lol

Anyway ... today is the birthday of one of the ladies on my hubby's team at work ... she also happens to be a crafter too so I waited until today to post her card  just in case she saw it before lol

I think this LOTV image is just so cute and I've coloured with Promarkers for a change :), I've cut her out with a nestie shape and distressed the edges, the "doiley" is made using a Martha Stewart PATP, the DP is from My Minds Eye, the sentiment is one of mine from a set of 6 digi downloads LINE SENTIMENTS - EVERYDAY  and I've finished off with pearls and a wooden flower

Hope you like it :)

TEDDY BO LOVES WEST HAM!!!

Morning all!!

Its a bit cold and nippy here this morning and can you believe I've been up since 5am cos I couldn't sleep!!! ended up making this card for the boy next door as I suddenly realised it was his birthday today ... Oooops!!!

He is Captain of the West Ham Boys .... hence the claret & blue :)

I'm off to do a bit of housework then going to get to work on colouring my images for my Christmas cards :)

I've had this Teddy Bo image for a while now and haven't had the occasion to use it ... so this was perfect!!! I've coloured him with Copics in the West Ham colours and found this scrap of football paper in my stash (that was a lucky find lol).  I added his age in the football and used one of my digi images from a set of 6 - BIRTHDAY ROUNDS which are also available as a CLEAR STAMP SET

and don't forget ....
