A Special guy~

Hello Ladies

Another miserable day today, rain and more rain. Ah well, rain means indoors, indoors means Housework, no not really, inside means Crafting Time!!

I needed a card for my Nephew's Birthday coming up next week, so decided on this Greeting Farm  "My Guy" stamp set. I like this set for a teenager as It's not childish is quite grown up looking yet still trendy.
I decided to PP his clothes with bits of leftover paper from my stash,, I coloured his face with copics and used one of these PaperMania Bottle Caps. The little tickets are from Purple Pumpkin. The papers are also from PaperMania and match the bottle caps, this set is called "Happy Days".

Hope Someone can help

Hello Girls
Can anyone help me with a problem with Loading photographs to blogger.
I thought i might just be having a new laptop problem, but looks like that's not the case.
Some of my DT mates have suggested stuff to me, but PLEASE I am not very savvy and need it put in simple terms. Hope someone can help.

Stampotique keyKeeper~

Hello Girls,

Hope you are all well. Don't know what your weather is like, but unfortunately for me here it is miserable and wet. I am waiting for a parcel to be collected so craft is on the menu while I wait.

I have been busy with a scrapbook Commission, but wanted a day off from that today, so i have chosen to make a Tag.
I have used Dylusions Ink Sprays, sentiment and leaf stamps, oh boy these inks are good. Call over at Art From the Heart website and see all Dyan's fabulous products.
I have stamped up the two stampotique stamps, the Shroom and the KeyKeeper Monster, how much fun are these? All the colouring is done with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers, and I have used a white Posca pen for the highlights. All the ribbon is from my stash.

White on white~

Hi Girls,

Today is my lovely Son's 20th birthday (oh my "Baby" is no longer a teenager.....Ahh)
Something else that's gone quickly, one minute you are taking them to school for their first day, next they are self sufficient, working, driving, well all the things I wanted them to be doing at this age, they really are two wonderful Kids, I couldn't ask any more, I am so proud of them both.
Matthew has also just finished his first week at work, so no doubt he will be out on the razzle tonight celebrating both things.

Well onto this Saturday's Challenge over at "Sweet Stampin'...."White on White".
Yet another card type that I have not really done before, but I was pleasantly surprised at how this one turned out, don't think I will be frightened to try this one again, hope you will pop over and have a go.  Go on it's not as hard as it sounds!
Our Sponsors are Letraset, so I am thinking Pro-Markers are up for grabs!!

 

 

I have used a Crafty Individuals flower stamp. I just love this stamp and use it loads, today I have stamped and embossed it with clear powder. The paper used is a bit left over from the Wedding Invites I made earlier in the year, not sure what make it is.
I have used a MS Lacey punch, some ruched ribbon from my stash, and a few Hobby House Pearls in white. The Sentiment is a Whiff of Joy and the Sentiment Surround is a Nestie, one of my favourites.

What a Lovely Hubby~

Hello girls,
Hope I find you all well.
My lovely Hubby has treated me to a gorgeous New Laptop. What a sweet heart he is, I owe him big time now!! Oh hec!

For the past few years (well about 7!) we have been using a pathetic old desktop pc that should have been in a retirement home years ago, if it was a dog it would actually be about 152! 

I have everything crossed that I can actually, use this lovely shiny new toy....So here goes..

I am hoping that the software I have installed will eventually let me take slightly better photographs than I do at the moment, ha that would be a great help!

I have used some Basic grey Holly Paper, Stampin' up Paper, ribbon from the local market, a few Hobby House pearls.

It's "Snow" Fun being a Baby~

Hiya Girls,

I know the weather is a bit like "Winter", but I am fully aware that it is actually STILL AUGUST, So STOP ALL THIS RAIN!!
Oh I am getting mi knickers in a twist about it. No barbi's, no meals outdoors and no sunbathing!!

Right rant over.....
I have been up to my eye's in "C" cards. Those of you who know me, know I do not use the "C" word until September, and NO it's not September just yet!

 

 

I have picked this cute Mo image topper and some new papers I bought today. They are Papermania Happy Days. Not a bit "C" in theme, but I wanted quite pale, muted colours to go with this image, so these fit the bill.

I love Mo images and this one is just so sweet, a non-traditional card but still lovely, I think!

Peace (at Last!)

Hiya Girls

Well what a wash out Bank Holiday Monday was for us here in Cumbria. No problems as rain means watching tv and crafting.
A big kid at heart...that's me, so I was made up when I found The Wizard of Oz and Babe on tv yesterday, perfect for watching while crafting!
I ended up making a couple of cards which I will show at another time, and I managed to finish this  Layout which I started a few weeks ago.
I love this photo of My Girl Eve on her Lilo, when she is on holiday she loves to sunbathe while relaxing in the water. Looks like she is the only one in that pool, think she was!
