Foxgloves.......

Not made a card for a few days as I have been doing samples for next months craft meeting.  This card I made a few weeks ago its one from LOTV called Foxgloves.  Coloured with both pencils and Copics.

Backing papers are from LOTV Promises 8 x 8 Paper pad, mounted on to a Spellbinders die and the sentiment is one from Stampin Up.

Its lovely to have it a little bit cooler again and the gardens certainly needed the rain....

Ship Ahoy.....

I always find mens card a problem but this Spellbinders Cogs die makes a brilliant ships wheel and as I already had this Stampin Up image coloured with pencils just popped it on the larger cog die. For the waves I've used a an EK Success border punch, the anchor is from Die-Namics sea charms set, sentiment is from Craftwork cards...

Hope you all have a great weekend...and its lovely to have it a bit cooler...

More Simply Sketched....

By the time you read this we should be on our way home from a little break in the caravan with our youngest granddaughter, her first time away from home.
I've made another card using the Stampin Up Simply Sketched set...
the embossing folder is from S.U. and the papers are again SU but quite old.  I am trying to use up some of my scraps of card and paper  I expect like many of you have have a box full of bits of D.P which I cant bear to throw away!
Butterfly stamps, punches and sentiment also S.U.

Two by Two......

I found this lovely Stampin Up stamp on EBAY a couple of weeks ago I also find it difficult making cards for twins but this little stamp is ideal its called 'Two by Two'

Coloured with Copic then cut out using S.U. Framelets dies and I've pricked around the edge. Backing papers are also S.U.
Embossing folder is an A4 Spellbinders one called 'Dainty Dots', the tiny button I've had for years and the corner dies are and old Quickuz die, sentiment computer generated.

Hopefully its going to be a little bit cooler than yesterday, it was 30 deg here a little bit too hot for me...

Simply Sketched.....

I know we shouldn't moan about the heat but its the night that are just too hot...but I suppose one good thins is I get more crafting in as I am up soearly..lOl..lOl..

For my card today I have used a couple of the stamps from the Hostess Set 'Simpply Sketched'....the poppy and the leaves and coloured with Copic pens.
The backing paper was in my scrap box so sorry I cant tell you where it came from.  I've also used the Stampin Up Finishing Touches Edgelets die, sentiment is also from the same set.

As you can see from the logo's I have also joined BLOGLVIN.
Hope you all have a good day.

My Girls did it.......

Yesterday was was the Race For Life and my eldest daughter Sally and our youngest granddaughter Grace who is only 5 did the 5K walk in Taunton....its was so hot almost 30 deg and how Grace walked all that way in all that heat I don't know..
But girls I am so proud of you both....they ran on behalf of my Mum and also my Brother in law son who we lost at the age of 8......  Sally and Grace collected   £185 so a big 'thank you' to my friends who supported them...

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...
