Howzat!

Hello everyone,

It's lovely here in sunny Southend, nice and cool, which is letting me get some sleep.. yay. So I have a card to share with you, a nice summer CAS sports card - I do love my cricket and am so pleased that it's back on the BBC! Plus the Olympics are on too, so my tv is sorted for the next fortnight! So here is my card, using a very old stamp that I have had for ages and never inked up...

For those of you who don't know about cricket you can find some information here. Cricket here in England is played during the summer months.

To make this card I used the following:

Flower Soft - Moments in Time - Howzat stamp

stamped on to Neenah Classic card 

coloured with Promarker's

The sentiment stamp is MFT - Jungle Friends

Enjoy your week ahead everyone.

Mimosa Christmas Flowers

Hello,

So it's a Friday evening, totally bored, nothing on the TV to watch - well not what I want to watch! I've spent the day making a start on my Christmas cards, to be honest I don't send that many as I usually donate what I would spend on postage to the local hospice. So here is one I've made today...

I've had this image for such a long time and it's sad that Bildmalarna no longer trade, I really liked their images, anyway I thought I would ink this up, she is such a cutie.

To make this card I used the following:

6x6 card base

Bildmalarna - Mimosa Christmas Flower stamp

Coloured with Promarker's

Docrafts Papermania First Noel papers

Cut & Make sentiment die

Bling and ribbon from my stash (I blinged the centres of all the flowers.) 

Have a great weekend everyone, thank you for taking the time to visit and I'll see you all soon!

Stand Tall

Happy Monday Everyone

Well June was such a busy month for me, I visited Stratford-upon-Avon and went to Shakespeare's house and other Shakespeare related sites, then on to Oxford and visited Blenheim Palace, which was amazing and will be going again and then a few day's in London for my half brother's wedding which was beautiful and emotional, so not much crafting done, July is catch up time! I have loads of birthdays in August. I have made a start and here is the first one, my version of Clean & Simple...

I have used a DL card blank, a scalloped slimline die, the stamp is from Ebay and has been coloured with Promarker's.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, it would be lovely if you would leave a comment. I'll be catching up on your blogs later. Have a good week and yes I know I have spelt created wrong... Doh.
