Anniversary.....

Another Anniversary card, this time I've used Mo Mannings Tom & Tilly digi image which I've coloured with Copics... trying to use up more background papers I have in my stash.....

I suppose its time to start thinking about the 'dreaded' Christmas cards....mine will be very simple this year as the postage has gone up yet again...

Have a good weekend whatever you're doing...

Make a Wish....

I didn't start off making this card yesterday but got side tracked like you often do in the craft room, found this sweet image that I printed off ages ago and decided to colour her in..she's a digi image from Mo manning  called 'Make a wish'.... papers are from an old LOTV pad..  Does anyone else have boxes of embellishments that they need to use up? I do... hence the little heart..

Back to what I was working on yesterday!

Starting School....

Our youngest Grandson starts school on Monday....he seems too young as he's only just 4years old and will be one of the youngest ones....thankfully he's part-time for 3 weeks so as to ease them in gently...

This is a little good luck card I've made him using one of Mo Manning's digi images....the small alphabet and numbers are from the Tattered Lace Issue 3 magazine.  Backing papers are from Echo Park 'Boys life' paper pad...  

Bless him his school shirt comes down to his knees and his little shorts are for 2-3 year olds....but he cant wait to go...and of course his big sister is giving him lots of adivce on what to do and what not to do, she's 6 1/2 ....don't you just love 'em...

We have a dry day here in Somerset which is lovely after the awful rain over the past 3 days...

Sapphire Wedding Anniversary.....

Today is our Sapphire Wedding Anniversary...45 years of marriage..

I've used this great Mo Manning image called 'Extra' which I think could cover a lot of different occasions but thought it very apt for our Anniversary...as we all know mens cards aren't easy at the best of times.

Backing papers are from Stampin up, Martha Stewart fence punch and whimsy Corner dies....

Shame the photo of Andy has him wearing sunglasses but he's still the handsome devil I married 45 years ago, but been together for 50 years .I did remind Andy that it was our Sapphire Anniversary and reminded him of the love Ruby ring he bought me on our Ruby Anniversary..  Sapphires.... we shall see...

Walker baby girl....

My daughter asked me for a card for her friends little girl who will be 1 soon so I used this lovely image from Mo Manning called 'Walker'.
Coloured the image with copic pens, mounted onto Nesties, just added some pink and white gathered ribbon around the the circles.
Backing papers are from my stash and were odd sheets so I am afraid I can't tell you where they came from.  The border punch is one from Cheery Lynn called 'Carnivale'...corners are Quickuz which unfortunately are now discountinued.

It was raining had this morning but this afternoon has been lovely and it quite warm..

Enjoy your weekedn whatever you are doing

Ladybug........

I've had this lovely Mo Manning image for quite a while so decided to colour her up yesterday.  Coloured with Copics and mounted onto another new die the Sizzix Doily which also comes with a matching border die but didn't use that on this card.
Backing paper is from Echo Park 'Country Drive' it matched my image as it had ladybirds on it... the little Ladybug dies are from Elizabeth Craft Designs and I've also used Memory Box grassland border....sentiment is from Personal Impressions.

The weathers certainly changed it been raining quite a lot down in Somerset...hope this isn't the end of our sunshine though.

Video boy.....

Hope you are all enjoying this gorgeous weather but its far too hot for me, even eating outside lunchtime was too hot...so I have been up in my craft room which is quite cool at the moment.

The image is one from Mo Manning called 'Video boy,...coloured with Copic pens and I've used Nitwits 'Candles and Cake' papers from LOTV which has some lovely bright papers in.

Off for some more water now... thanks for stopping by...

My Kite....

It always a problem finding different images for little boys cards but spotted this one on Mo Mannings Digital site and just fell in love with it....coloured with Copics, backing papers are from Echo Park A' Boy's life' pad and used my Memory Box puffy clouds die.

I can remember my brother and I having fun years ago with Dad  trying to fly the old 'Box' kite..those were the days when you only had one string to worry about some of todays kites look so complicated with two strings.

Anne

Winter Fairy....

Came up to my craft room to put away all the Christmas stamps and papers that are laying around but thought I had just better colour this gorgeous little Winter Fairy Digi stamp from Mo Manning that had been sitting on my desk waiting to be coloured but not used this year.
Coloured with Polychromos pencils, I used Light flesh, Medium flesh, dark flesh, cinnamon for her flesh and Prisma Light Aqua, and of course yellows for her hair. I also used Staedtler Gel liner pen to do some  highlights and of course a little bit of glitter.
Papers are from DCVW called 'Linen Closet', sentiment computer generated.
This card will go into my Christmas box for next year....My friend Val over at Aquarius Blog and I are going to try and make at least one or two  Christmas card each month to help start next years cards...

I think most of us now are getting things ready for Christmas so blogging has taken a back seat but I will be back with one more post before Christmas...

Hope you are all keeping warm and dry in this awful weather, nothing but rain, rain and more rain today...

Thanks for popping by...

Fisherman....

Biker babe......

This is another great image from Mo Manning called 'Biker babe' and I have used this for a 'new baby' card.
Coloured with Copic pens and mounted onto nesties.  Backing papers are from Peebles.inc which I have have for ages, just popped the plain paper through my swiss dot cuttlebug embossing folder.
Memory Box border die used across the centrem Whimsy Corner die, and small flower punches, leaf punch has no name on it...
We are back to the rain again down in here Somerset so I think its a day in the craft room.
