Thank you

Good evening everyone hope you all had a great day and didn't work too hard. I rushed home from work to quickly finish my Lilli of the valley entry before I missed the deadline. Talk about cutting it fine!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used some really pretty papers from Prima (fairy stack I think) and coloured this oh so sweet Lili stamp using Copics in co-ordinating colours. The lace edge is a Martha Stewart punch. Last but not least the wooden leaf embellishment I found at the craft barn on Sunday and could't resist buying several packs. They come as plain wooden shapes which you can ink or paint, very cute I think.

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges

Happy Birthday

Just a real quick post just to get me back into the swing of things.

I started this card before I went on holiday but didn't know how to finish it. Then I saw the Spoon full of Sugar Challenge a few days ago and every thing clicked into place.

The challenge that I am going to enter with this card is A Spoon full of Sugar - Happy Birthday

Well here it is........................

I have used this really cute stamp by Penny Black and coloured her using Copic markers.

The papers are from a K&Co wedding stack which worked really well with the raffia ribbon from Wild Orchid crafts. Everything else came from my stash apart from the sentiment which is  Lili of the Valley stamp.

I really hope you like it and will try much harder to be more prolific in my posting.

6 weeks summer holidays almost over

Hi every one its been a long time between posts for me. I suppose that's what happens when the summer hols comes along and your little darlings need all of your attention.

We have had a great time this year though so mustn't grumble. We have been exploring the the jungles of Mexico and sampling the delights of Cenote swims. My son cant wait to tell all his school friends that he climbed the Pyramid of Coba and walked a Mayan football pitch.

I really enjoyed my time here and the water was beautiful and cool.

This is the tallest pyramid at Coba called Nohoch Mul and it stands over 138 feet.

Hopefully I should be able to post a couple of cards later so see you all soon

Mermaid Tilda

Good afternoon everyone. Just a quick visit today. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day at the moment but I will endeavour to try and be a bit more conscientious I promise!!!!!!!!!

Todays post is for the TOMIC challenge, Simply Magnolia and the Just Magnolia challenge.

Right to the card. I have made and easel card using 2 square scalloped cards from Craftwork cards. The mermaid Tilda I coloured about a month ago and then left her languishing in a box (thats really bad isnt it?).

The shell at the top of the card was once a gold button. I just snipped of the loop and glued it on. A quick brush of picket fence and I think it worked quite well.

Why is it so hard to photography an easel card?

I have added some fantasy fibre behind the image to soften the whole effect a little.

The papers are DCWV Linen closet.

Fizzy Moon

Good afternoon everyone hopefully you are all having a restful Sunday so far. I'm still totally disorganised I am afraid but hopefully normal service will resume soon!

I treated myself to a Fizzy moon stamp set recent and couldn't wait to us it. Enough waffle from me and onto the card

I used the sketch and stash sketch from this weeks challenge but have been so disorganised that I did not complete my card in time to enter the challenge!! Oh well that will teach me for not organising my time better.

I made this card for my mum who is in hospital at the moment. Your not allowed to take flowers onto the ward any more so thought Fizzy's big bunch of flowers would be a great alternative.

I have embellished using a Tim Holtz's trinket pin and some charms.

I really cant remember where the papers came from as they were scraps in my paper draw. I do hoe you like the card. stop by and leave me a comment to let me know what you think.

Gone shopping

Wow what a week I have just had. My mum is hospital, my daughter was stranded on her own in Cuba because her travelling companion was in hospital. It's been a complete nightmare. Well my daughter is home safe and sound and my mum came through her operation well. It's time for a bit of normality now so I will do the rounds over the next few days.

My card today is made using one of the new Lili of the Valley stamps and Prima Botanical s paper. 

I am going through a bit of a purple stage at the moment as you can tell from this card. Nearly all of the embellishments come from wild orchid crafts.

Teddy Bea yellow Tutu

I have printed off another of those wonderful Teddy Bea digi's that I would like to share with you.

I was inspired to make this card by some K&co papers that I have had in my stash for years. So instead of the traditional Pink or lilac tutu I decided that Bea would look great in yellow. What do you think?

I have used a collection of K&co embossed daisy paper's to make this card along with some                    co-ordinating Bazzil card in yellow.

'Wishes' is a metal embellishment that I got free on the front of a crafting magazine some time ago but I think it works quite well on this card. The little glittery heart I got from Lakeland.

The cream ribbon on the card I got from Creative expressions when I visited the Alexandra palace craft show in April. 

The down the edge of the card is cut from K&Co paper with a Martha Stewart punch.

I have glitz Bea's Tutu with some stickles.

The image has been coloured using Copic's in the following colours

E37,E35,E33,E31,E30,Y28,Y26,Y23,Y00,W7,W5,W3,W1,W0
