Birthday Fairy Lee~

Hi Girls~

Hope I find you all well. Can I say a "Big Thank" you to all my lovely followers, I really love all your sweet comments, you are all stars!

I adore Mo's images and this little fairy is one of the new stamps I bought in September last year. I have been very naughty not using her, and when the latest challenge at DP2 came up (and it was stitching) I thought I would use her!
I have chosen to do some mock stitching on this card, even though I like to use my sewing machine to do "real" stitching, I like doing both, so it's "fake" today!!






My papers are blue, even though on the dreadful photo, sorry, they look green.
The papers are My Mind's Eye Hip-Hooray, and Prima Reflections, I have inked the edges with a Versa Magic chalk ink pad in Aegean Blue and the butterflies are taken from the paper. My image is coloured with Pro-Markers, the little sentiment is a Craftwork Cards and the edge punch is a MS.

Valentines Day isn't far off!!

Hello Ladies~

A very cold but Crisp and dry day today, sun is out again, so all good in my book.


I have got in quick to make my Valentine's card for hubby.
January and February are busy card making times for me, so when I can I try to get ahead like with this card.

I love this Penny Black "Ducks" image, think it's so cute. I have used it for an Anniversary card as well as a Valentine's and think it is perfect for a luvy duvy card!!

I have used some leftover papers from my stash, a MS heart border punch, some sparkly black ribbon and Nestie shaped heart dies. Image needs hardly any colouring, but I have used some lemon/orange for feet and beaks, and a bit of grey to highlight feather areas, used Pro-Markers for this.

Something a bit different~

Hello Girls,

What a lovely crisp, cold but sunny day here, hope it is nice where you are too.

My lovely Daughter Eve and her boyfriend Sean have gone off on holiday skiing today, when she returns (next Saturday evening) she will be 21 the day after....Oh how time flies, I remember her first day at school as if it were yesterday! I could get a bit teary when I think of it, but so much to do before she gets back....No time for all that, get a grip girl!!

I have finished the bunting for the wall, bought all the cake stuff, icing, cupcake cases, "21" cake topper, feathers etc, have bought the nibbles (in freezer) and am in the throws of cleaning the house (Yak, hate that bit!!) Pressie's are all bought, personalised number plate ready to pop on her car (off Sean!), card made...Doing ok!

I have had a good play this afternoon while watching Create and Craft. The woman on doing the demo's "Helen" I think she was called, was using Tim Holtz Grunge Paper and I took a fancy to what she was doing, so out came mine and inks and vintage lace etc, and I ended up doing this project...Hope you like it.




The "E" is for my Daughter Eve, thought I would put this with her other pressies, she loves my handmade craft items, so know she will like this, and I have chosen green as the base colour as her bedroom is green and brown.
I have used Tim's Alterations Die (Sewing Room) dress form, love this, and used some Hobbyhouse vintage roses ribbon, and pins. I have stamped over the "E" with my set of My Mind's Eye Lost and Found stamps. The flowers are made with grunge paper, Tim's Tatty flowers Die and inked up, all finished with a bit of copper stickles.

Sweet Stampin DT card.

Hello Girls,

As it's Saturday, there is a New Challenge over at "Sweet Stampin" this week and its "Glitter/Shine/Bling". Our Sponsors this week are Emerald Faeries, and this is one of their gorgeous images, hope you like her.




Sorry about the dreadful photo, will try to do better next time!!



I won the Challenge over at "Simon Says Stamp" just before Christmas, and I was delighted to be asked to choose $50 worth of Goodies!! How exciting. After a wee look around the shop (lots of gorgeous stuff) I made my choice and placed my order. I was totally shocked when my parcel arrived just a few days after.....THAT'S SOOOO QUICK.
Thank you to Lols and all at Simon Says.

I have used the papers I won on the challenge and these are Basic Grey "Piccadilly" pad. I have also used one of my favorite PATP Martha Stewart punches. The image is coloured with Pro-Markers.

That's all folks!!

Laundry Girl~

Hello Girls~

Had a nice walk again yesterday, it stayed dry for Christine and me and only started spitting as we were almost home, so good stuff.
Today is first Zumba class this year (going at 1.30 today).....I have been getting back into it with my own Wii version, so feel ok about going back.
Christine is a bit apprehensive (as It it her first time there, but she will do great I am sure!).

I have made today's card for my lovely Sister's Birthday. It is not until next month, but I wanted to get ahead as I have a busy January planned!!





I love GF stamps, like the way they are quite a "chunky" image, this makes them easier to colour, or PP which is one of my favorite things to do at the moment (although I did not do that on this image, but did do it on the SN image in my last post!)

My papers are from all from my stash (no idea what make sorry!) The lovely clock circle is made using the Alterations die by Tim Holtz, pearls are Hobbyhouse, sentiment is by craftwork cards and the image is coloured with Pro-markers.

Paper Piecing~

Hi Girls, Me again!!
I have done quite a bit today, including a walk with my friend Christine, (and we are off again tomorrow too!)
I am hoping the walking and the Zumba on Wednesday will start to get me a bit fitter (not fatter!!)~

As the title suggests, my latest card has been Paper Pieced.
I just love doing this, and I came up with matching paper and hopefully you will agree with me that the paper chosen looks like the little boy is wearing "Pyjamas"!!

This beautiful Sugar Nellie Stamp called "Worried" has always been a stamp I wanted from the first time I saw it, but I just never got round to buying it. Last year when I won three sugar Nellie stamps from Fiona, I asked if this could be one of them, so glad she agreed as I love it, thank you Fi.

I have used a mix of papers, all leftovers from my stash, a LOTV sentiment and a few eyelets. The image is coloured with Pro-Markers.
