Hearts and Flowers

Well fellow crafters, the weekend is nearly with us again.  Where do the weeks go?  Mind you this week has been pretty full on.  Our little Westie Mac has been limping for a while and the vet's confirmed that there is a problem with his cruciate ligament, a ligament in his hind knee so he is booked to have an operation to replace it beginning of next week.  Added to that our daughter in law was in a three car pile up, not too badly hurt I hasten to add, and it could've been a lot worse as the airbags didn't go off in her car.  But she is a lot better now.  Thank goodness for a little crafting corner eh?

Anyways now for today's card.  The image is Sweet Melissa by Kenny K coloured in Promarkers and the papers I've used are a mixture of DCWV Linen Closet and Papermania.  Two corners have been stamped with one of Kaisercraft's Fancy Flourishes and I made the roses using Tonic Studios Petal Pairs punches.

I would like to enter this card into:

Kenny K Challenge - Hearts and Flowers
Dream Valley Challenge - Valentines

See you soon.

A Bit of Sparkle

Hope you have all had a good weekend and are refreshed and ready for the week ahead.  

For the card I have to show you tonight, I have used a digi image called Summer Milly from Pink Gem Designs that I have had for some time but never used.  The papers are G.C.D. English Garden and if you don't think they look much like a garden except for the colours, there are flowers on the reverse of the papers!  Very pretty and versatile they are.  The dies and the punch are Marianne Creatables.  Sentiment is Craftwork Cards.

It's been a long time...........

......but I am hoping to get back into the swing of things quickly and start posting again.  New year - new beginnings as they say, although we're into February so perhaps not quite 'new year'.  

Anyway 'nuff said and on to my first post of the year.  This card will be for my son's girlfriend's birthday.  She is  a total shopaholic so the Kenny K digi image suits the occasion totally.  I love the colours of these background papers which are from Prima's En Francais collection.

Wedding Acceptances

Happy weekend to you all.  I hope you manage to get many happy hours in your crafty little places this weekend (after breakfast in bed of course and some TLC),  some of you maybe with your new goodies you've had for Mother's Day.  I know I'm hoping to get some little surprises (nice crafting ones I hasten to add) and then I can disappear into my little world too.

Anyway onto my two creations for today, and who knows there may be another one later on :).  These are two wedding acceptance cards in reply to a couple of invites we had earlier in the year.  I have crafted each one in the theme of each wedding.  The first one is white and cadbury blue and is just 5" in diameter.  The second has a theme of butterflies and the colour pink and is 4" square.  Hope you likey.

Happy crafting.

2nd Post of the Evening

Hello again.  Just wanted to show you a birthday card I've done after seeing the design on Donna's blog.  Thanks Donna, I hope I've done it justice and yes your instructions were clear enough to follow so thanks again.

I've used a Kenny K image and coloured it with Promarkers and glittered the wings.

Well that's it for tonight folks.

A Decoupage Card

Good evening all.  The card I have to show you today has an image that is decoupaged.  The papers are from First Edition Papers - Desert Blooms that I picked up from the craft show at the NEC last weekend (along with lots of other gorgeous goodies that I just couldn't resist :-) ) I just love the colour of these papers!

 I've had the decoupage image for some time and when I saw the challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers Spotlight Challenge (Spotlight on Decoupage) I took the opportunity to use it.  I have used my Martha Stewart 'Doily' border punch, Spellbinders nestabilities, Nellies multi-frames (inside) and the ribbon and flowers are from my stash.  The card also follows the sketch over at LORA Crafts Sketches. 

I am entering this card into Crafty Cardmakers Spotlight Challenge - Spotlight on Decoupage.

Have a good evening.
