Mother's Day

Hi everyone, this is just a quick post as very shortly I'm off to get my PJ's on and go and catch up on last nights My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding whilst my hubby is out (I just love that programme)!

Here is a card I've made - I think for my MiL for Mothers Day...

I just love those owls from Pink Gem Designs they are soooo cute, can't wait to use them again.  The papers and sentiment are from Pink Petticoat and the Candi I stamped with small letters. I coloured her with my Copics.

I love how her eyes are a bit wonky, like she's had one too many sherries!

I'm entering her into the following challenges:-

A Gem of a Challenge - Sketch

Allsorts - Anything Goes

CES Challenge Blog - Spots and Dots

Crazy 4 Challenges - Spots and Stripes

Bye for now.  Enjoy the rest of your evening (or day)!

Christening Card

Hi everyone, 

Hope you've all had a good weekend.  It's been half term holidays in our area and so with the kids at home all week not alot of crafting has been done!  We've been busy out and about, baking and friends visiting.  Think I'm ready to go back to work tomorrow!

Anyway I did manage to squeeze a little card in this weekend.  My friends Roxanne and Alan were having their little girl Macy Christened today so I made them a card - but talk about last minute, I do sometimes like working under pressure, but on this one, the glue was still drying while I was putting my make-up on.

I have to say a very big THANK YOU to Gerda from The Stamp Fairy.  I ordered some of her Digi Stamps last night and something went wrong with my email account but I never received them, so after a frantic email this morning, she resent them for me, and here is the card...

She is called Linda Ballet and I coloured her with Copics.  The papers are Pink Petticoat.  I hope you like her, despite all the stress she's caused I'm really pleased with how it's turned out.

I'm entering her into these challenges:-

Sketch Saturday  195

Allsorts - Anything Goes

DYSU - Layers

Papercrafting Journey - Make it Cute

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge  -  73 Anything Goes

Father's Day Card

Evening all,
I've done quite well today and made two cards.  This last one is for my dad for Father's Day, and to give you an idea about him you only have to look at the image, that's my dad (apart from mine has a bald head!!!), he loves a good old snooze on the sofa. (He's still fab though and we all love him very much).

Anyway the image is from Digistamp Boutique, and I've coloured him with copics.  Quite a plain and simple card but I just love the image so much, I didn't want to take anything away from it.

As there seem to be loads of father's day / male card challenges around, I'm entering him into a few:-

Cupcakecraft Challenges
Papertake Weekly
Fussy and Fancy
Crazy 4 Challenges
Sentimental Sundays

Won't be round much at the weekend, were all off to a wedding.  So Have lovely weekends everyone.

Wedding Card

Hi everyone,

Not manage to make many cards this week, what with work etc. but here's one I've made for a wedding we are going to this weekend.  Our friends Tim and Em.  The image is from Digistamp Boutique and I've coloured them with promarkers.  I've also added some crystal glitter to her vail.  I hope they like it  I know green isn't a very wedding type colour but wanted to colour the car green so needed to co-ordinate.

Going to enter this card into two challenges:-

Sweet Sketch Wednesday
Passion for Promarkers.

Sorry its a short post, got to dash out now - Kids!!!

See you soon

Jo
