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.

Look what the delivery man bought....

What a lovely surprise I had today...a large package arrived for me, I had no idea what it was and when told to go ahead and open it by my husband this is what I  found inside the box...the EBOSSER ...what a lovely man he is...and I honestly had no idea whatsoever... am I a lucky girl or what??

Well you can guess what I've been doing this afternoon....yes playing...I should have attacked the ironing but hey that will still be there tomorrow...

thanks for stopping by...

Be my Valentine....

Sorry about the awful photo this morning but the light isnt good ... 

I picked up a sheet of Tatty Ted embossabilities 'Me to You'  when I last visited our local craft shop as I thought not only could I make a valentines card but also, anniversary and even a get well card from the sweet images...

This image I've made into a Valentines centre step card, the backing papers are from a pack of  'Me to You' with Love which are also double sided.

Baby sitting later this morning so just about enough time to clear my desk before I make another card. 

Its raining here at the moment and some of the snow is starting  to melt thank goodness.

Another mauve card.....

Yes another purple/mauve card, again I have used some of the Delicate Asters backing paper and cut out some of the Aster flowers, using the die set I've cut out some leaves and 3D everything...the image on the right hand bottom corner was already printed on the backing paper.
I've used one of the Marianne Creatable dies and cut directly onto the backing paper and the right hand corner has been cut out of card reversing the image.
S.U. oval punches used as well as the sentiment..

Tomorrows card WONT be purple I promise....

I see we could be in for more snow tomorrow hopefully it wont be very much...I will keep my thermals out for a bit longer...hee...hee...

Get well.....

Firstly thank you to all of you for your lovely get well wishes I now seemed to at long last turned the corner....I must feel better as I am back in my craft room!

Needed to make a get well card today so I've used one of my new Heartfelt Creations stamps from the Delicate Twining Asters set ( which is the swirl in the corner)  also stamped one of the small aster stamps from he Delicate Asters  set and then 3D the main flower  and also added a flower  in the corner as my ink pad caught the corner of the card so I needed to cover it up!!! 

The backing paper is from the Delicate Asters Collection pad, the embossing folder is from Crafts Too and I have sponged a darker mauve on the top the embossed card. Sentiment is also from the Asters collection pad...Also used is the S.U border ribbon punch along the centre of the card.

Hope you are all keeping warm in this snowy weather...

Another Mask....

I still have my chest infection and have spend the last 2 days back at the doctors as they were very concern about my breathing..they've changed my antibiotics which are making me feel very sick all the time so haven't done any card making for nearly a week...hopefully by the weekend I will feel better.

For some reason Mr Blogger wouldn't let me leave comments on blogs yesterday but he does seem to be behaving himself now!

So I have another of my samples cards to show you using masks, core-dination paper and a sanding block, the image is a really old Penny Black stamp which I have stamped onto kraft card and used Prismacolor pencils. I've used the circle border die from Simon Says and  also a Memory Box die Fremont Crest on the corners....

They are forecast lots of snow for us tomorrow in Somerset but fingers crossed  we dont get too much!!!  Hope you are all keeping warm in the cold weather.

Birthday card....

It was my friend Janet's birthday yesterday and this was the card that I made for her.. Wanted to do something different so I pulled out my box of ORNARE pricking templates. 
 I completely pricked the whole image then pricked the centre part of the template twice before cutting it out and mounting it onto some holographic card. I then cut out just the centre circle and attached that with a brad so that the middle swung opened to reveal Jan's name.  Added a few flowers and some tiny pearls which unfortunately dont show up that well....

Well the sun is shining today and that makes you feel a whole lot better, hopefully the snow will keep away...
