Fathers Day card for my Father In Law and my Here Come The Boys challenge entry

Evening All

Oh my god, I had not realized its been a whole month since I posted onto my blog.  Oh well my excuse is I have been in Sunny Ibiza for 10 days and then time has simply run away with me.

This card originally was for the second challenge over on "Here come the Boy's" and I missed uploading it but thankfully it also fits the third challenge so I hope you like it.

Card size is 8" x 8" 

Image is one of the new LOTV stamps "Dads the name" and has been coloured in with promarkers.

Tag has been cut uwing a spellbinders tag and stamped with a Woodware sentiment.

Papers are from Trimcraft and are from the Masculine set.  I have used a go create die to cut the shape in the middle.

Thank you cards for a Christening

Evening All

Well my cousin asked me to make 5 Thank you  cards for the Godfathers and Godmothers at little Megans Christening and these are the cards I came up with.

Although the cards have all been made with the same Stamp (The free Tatty Teddy off the Creativity Magazine) I have tried to do each card slightly different.

The swirls on both the girls cards have been made using Bazzill Bling templates and 3mm Anita's Gems.

The Card candy on the Boys cards are from Craftwork cards as at the moment I cannot be bothered to make my own.

All of the sentiments have been computer generated so that they can be personalised.

Brothers Birthday Card and entry for the here comes the boys challenge

Morning All

Well it was my brothers 31st birthday yesterday and as I love making Mens Cards (NOT) and he does love his computer games I chose to use one of the Greeting Card stamps of a little boy playing computer games.

It is also my entry for the "Here Comes the Boys" challenge.

To be honest this was an easy card to make as I had already stamped and coloured this image in and I bet like many crafters we have a huge stash of stamped and coloured images.

The sentiment is from a stamp set called "Kids Quotes" and is from Inkadinkado.  Well with my brother being 31 you can guess how many fingers he held up and yes it was more than 1 but less than 3.

The papers are from the mens pack from country companions and they are gorgeous to use.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and for any comments you may like to leave.

Two 6 year old Birthday cards

Morning All

Well this weekend my daughter has had 2 of her friends Birthday parties to go to so here are the cards I made using images she had chosen.

Ellie's 6th Birthday Card.

Image is from Lili of the Valley and is called "It's My Party" and the background papers are from a paper pack called "Spring Time" and is from the Forever Friends collection of papers.

This adorable image has been coloured with promarkers.

The sentiment was computer generated

My friend had bought one of the Bazzil Bling templates which are a little expensive for what they are but they are so worth it especially when you think how expensive the ready made swirl embellishments are.

Ashleigh's Birthday Card

Image is from Lili of the Valley and is called "Little Ballerina" and the background papers are from a paper pack called "Spring Time" and is from the Forever Friends collection of papers.

This adorable image has been coloured with promarkers.

My friend had bought one of the Bazzil Bling templates which are a little expensive for what they are but they are so worth it especially when you think how expensive the ready made swirl embellishments are.

And a swirl at the top of the image.

The sentiment was computer generated.

Thinking of you/Sympathy card for a fellow Docrafter

Evening All

Well a few days ago I found out that a fellow do-crafter wasn't well and to top it all she lost her little fur baby Ellie, who only recently was made famous by Joanna Sheens newsletter.  I was in the process of making her a card when I heard about little Ellie but i have still decided to send the card as she is Hamster mad and I do hope that she finds another little companion soon, as I am sure Holly and Ellie will send her another little one soon.

Most of the elements i have used have come from my friend Rachel who is also on do-crafts and we found the little toppers in her craft cupboard in a tin and I think they work really well.

On another sad note I too have lost one of my little fur-babies my 18 year old cat Tiger.  He will be missed but to be honest he has been living on borrowed time for the last five or six years and definitely was the best fed cat on the block as his main diet was cod fillet and chicken breast.  He is at peace now and playing with his little friend Star who passed about 8 years ago on Rainbow bridge.

Sketch Saturday - Week 149

Evening All

Well it has been a while since I have entered any challenges, I think life is definitely getting in the way at the moment so hopefully this will be the first of many cards to be uploaded as I need to do 1 Birthday card for a 6 year old and 2 Christening cards for the same little one.

I was on a mission to make atleast one Christmas card a week but have fallen a little behind, I should be on week 14 and this is my week 10 card so a little catching up is needed.

This cute little bear is from the LOTV (Lili of the Valley) range of stamps and has been coloured in with my promarkers.

The papers are from Papermania and are from one of the paperpacks from a couple of years ago (I think).

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and for any comments you may like to leave.
