Watering the Roses

Good Morning, you may have noticed I've given my blog a bit of a makeover. I found this background and thought it was apt, as I'm a Type 1 diabetic. You would think in this day and age that we would have a cure for this awful disease. Hopefully one day soon!
Anyway on to my card that I've made and isn't this image so cute? It's a Stampavie one by Penny Johnson - Little Tobi Watering the Roses. So here it is.

Ingredients

Penny Johnson Stamp

coloured with Promarkers

Paper is Magnolia

Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts

Nesties

Sizzix Embossing Folder

Ribbon, Pin and Pearls from stash

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my last card they were lovely to read and very much appreciated.

Hello Peeps,  I know it's been a while and I know I'm a useless blogger. I have lots of reasons for not posting, but it would take a lifetime to tell you and I think we would all rather make some cards.
Also I've heard a rumour that we are expecting some summer weather this weekend, what do you think, are those pigs flying yet?
Anyway now that my mojo is back I've managed to make some cards recently and I have one to show you today and here it is.

I so adore this image from Lili of the Valley and it's the first time I've inked her up. I treated myself to the Tim Holtz - on the edge doily die and I love it and think it works perfectly with this card.

Ingredients Used Are

 Lili of the Valley Image coloured

with Promarkers

Lucy Cromwell Papers from Papermania

Nesties and Memory Box Dies

Flowers and Ribbon Wild Orchid Crafts

Lili of the Valley Sentiment

Pearls and Cute button from stash

I hope you all like the card and I have a new motto 'I must do better with blogging and try and blog more often'. Have a great weekend friends and thank you for sticking with me.

Hello Friends, I know its been a while since my last blog post, my excuse is I've been quite poorly again and sometimes things like blogging have to take the back burner. I'm feeling a lot better now as I've had some of my medication increased. Mind you it hasn't stopped me from making cards! The card I'm showing today is one I've made for some friends who have had their first baby.

The Journey

Hello Friends, I hope you all had a lovely Easter? I worked all Easter weekend, no rest for me and no crafting!  (boo hoo) Anyhoo, I've got a couple of days off this week so hopefully I will get some cards done. Need loads of them to sell for charity.

Any way on to my card that I  have made for the boyfriends dad, whose birthday is this week. It's a favourite boy/man stamp of mine from Lili of the Valley. Their stamps are just so cute!

Daisy

Hello friends I hope you are all keeping well? I really don't know where the time goes! I've been so busy with work recently that I've not had a lot of time to myself. Anyway I did find time to make this card for my buddy Leigh Jones aka Charity Crafter, it was her birthday last week.

This stamp has got to be one of my favourites of all time and I was so pleased that Elisabeth Bell decided to license it to Elphine House after she withdrew her stamps from Sugar Nellie. I purchased the stamp from Elphine House which cost appx £10 inc postage, which was a lot cheaper than what the stamp was going for on Ebay!

So on to the card.........

I hope you all like my little creation, thank you for looking and any comments you leave are always lovely to read. I'm on holiday from Wednesday so after I get back from my trip to Stoke on Trent I'm going to be on a mission to visit all my friends blogs and get some serious card making in.

Have a great week,
