Best Friend

Hello everyone

I hope everyone is well and those in the UK have enjoyed their first day of proper freedom! So I'm off to a craft beer and pizza night on Wednesday with the other half and his sister and her husband, it'll be the first time we've all seen each other since way before Christmas. So looking forward to it!

I had a birthday on the 15th and didn't get loads of crafty bits... boo hoo, but I did get a new craft lamp and it's brilliant.

Anyway, I have spent today making a card for my friend who has been very supportive to me recently, too long to explain. Hope she likes it. So here it is...

To make this card I used the following, 6x6 card blank, a Bildmalarna image ( I do miss their stamps) coloured with Promarkers, Lili of the Valley sentiment, check card is a left over piece, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, dies are unbranded and everything else from my stash.

Have a great week and see you soon.

'Rock Star'

Good evening friends and visitors

I hope every one is keeping well? We've had  mixture of weather here in 'Sunny Southend,' rain, sun, wind and hail stones... wow, who upset the weather Gods? So I had my 2nd Covid jab this week, it's knocked me for six this time! 

Anyway, I have the dreaded masculine card to share with you, which was made for the brother-in-law (as I call him) he used to be in a band, so I hope he liked it. This card was well out of my comfort zone and there is not a lot to it. So here it is...

To make this card I used a 6x6 card blank, Funky Fossil stencil which you can find here, I stencilled this onto watercolour card using Tim Holtz distress inks, black and red card are leftovers from another project, the die is unbranded and bling is from my stash.

I would like to say a big thank you for all the lovely comments I have received on my last two cards and I'm pleased to say that they have been picked as a top 3/5, which is amazing!

Have a great weekend, I've a busy week next week, as I can go and visit friends from Monday... yay!

I do love a flower!

Hello friends and visitors,

So who can believe it's May already and how blooming cold it's been. We had terrible winds here in 'sunny Southend' Monday and Tuesday, they were horrendous, my mother in laws garden was pretty banged up, but she wouldn't let us go out there. I've got my second Covid jab on the 11th, I'll be so happy when I've had it, hopefully there will some normality to my life! Anyway, I have a card to share with you and I would like to thank Jules from 'Always with a Heart' blog for sharing a card from Whimsy Dreams. I fell in love with the image and decided to purchase it. I coloured it with Promarkers. So here it is...

I used a 7x7 card blank, Neenah card coloured with Promarkers, I'm not sure where the dotted paper came from, sorry, all other paper/card from a big pile of overs. I get all my ribbon from my local haberdashery shop (they are so helpful!) The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, enamel dots from stash and double stitched square die is from eBay.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and those that leave comments are amazing, I love reading them. Have a great weekend.

It's been a while!

 Hello friends and followers.

So it's been a few weeks since I blogged - naughty me, but home life took over. I've been so busy sorting my little flat out ready for decorating, plus I had a new work top fitted in my kitchen, oh my the mess! I'm also trying to transfer everything from my laptop to a new PC - not easy. Anyway, I have made time to make some cards for birthdays coming up. Here is one of those...

I used a 6x6 card blank, Lili of the Valley stamp where you can find the digi image here, she is coloured with Promarkers on to Neenah card. Everything else is either unbranded or from my snippets box.

Thank you for visiting and I wont leave it too long next time, plus I need to visit a load of blogs, so please accept my apologies for not visiting or commenting. Have a good weekend and let's hope May is a lot warmer!

It's a Boy!

 Hello everyone.

So a nice long Easter weekend to craft as the weather has taken a turn for the worse! It's been beautiful here in sunny Southend this week. I would like to say a very big thank you for all the recent comments that I have received on my cards, it's so kind of everyone to take the time to visit, it's so appreciated and gives me a boost to keep going. Today I made a baby boy card for a friend who is expecting a 'lockdown' baby! It's so nice for something positive to come from what has been a pretty awful year. Enough of the doom and gloom she says and on to my card. So here it is...

I used the following to make this card:

6x6 card base

Lili of the Valley digi stamp - Clouds which can be found here

Lili of the Valley sentiment digi stamp - Baby greeting which can be found here

Coloured with Promarkers

Papers are 'It's a Boy' from First Edition

Embossalicious Embossing folder - Clouds

Memory box Pippi butterfly die

Oval die is unbranded

Button and sprinkles from stash.

Have a great Easter everyone and I'll be back soonish!
