3rd birthday Card

Happy Sunday,

We had some much needed rain last night which will be good to help settle in some bedding plants that have recently been planted. I had a little catch up on blog hopping whilst hubby watched the footie...Englad were their usual disappointing selves but a huge well done to Wales for winning their opening match!

I'm sharing a recent card I made for a 3rd birthday...I've used this adorable little pre-coloured image and kept the design fairly clean and simple. I really love the colours on this card and must make a note to use them more often.

Sophie 16th Birthday...Jiggles the Giraffe

Good morning,

OK! So not only is Sophie shoe mad, she also loves giraffes and can't get enough of them if ever we get the opportunity to visit the zoo.

I spent hours trawling the internet for a digital image and finally found this adorable little image from Doodle Pantry...he's called Jiggles. I opted to create a little scene and cased this card that I found on Pinterest...I love that there's so much inspiration on the net, especially when your craft mojo isn't really on the ball.

Passion for Promarkers #283...To Someone I Love

Good morning,

Huge apologies for my blogging absence over the last few weeks...due to various issues at work I have been working full time hours, plus additional overtime which has left little time for anything else.

This last weekend I felt physically and mentally exhausted and spent most of the weekend sleeping. I'm hoping to revert to my usual hours sometime in the next of couple weeks and I can't get wait to get back to some kind of normality!

Anyhoo...I'm here to tell you about this weeks Passion for Promarkers challenge which has been chosen by my lovely teamie Lotta and as it's Valentine's this week she has chosen a theme of...TO SOMEONE I LOVE

All you need to do is make sure you follow the challenge theme and use Letraset markers (i.e. pro, flex, tria, aqua, metallic or neon) somewhere on your work!

This weeks sponsor is Sassy Studio Designs

and they are offering 4 free digital images to the winner (winners choice).

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Woohoo...it's Christmas Day and I'd like to say to all of my lovely followers and visitors...

I hope Christmas brings everything you hoped for and more and my thoughts are with anyone who may be alone over the festive period. We're at home today, just the four of us and we'll be eating, drinking and by 3pm, probably sleeping!

I also thought I'd share a piccy of a batch of quick Christmas cards I threw together last weekend (just in time for last posting day...phew) and apart from the envelopes not being very adhesive I was quite pleased with how they turned out. The cards are A6 in size and I purposely made them not too deep with embellishments, so they could be posted without having to go large on the stamps!

60th Birthday Card

Good morning me lovelies,

I'm here to share a quick card with you today which has mainly been created using the Die-namics dies...Blueprints 3 set.

The design papers are one of my all time favourite sets from Nitwit Collections and I've added a few simple embellies just to pretty it up a bit...it looked a bit plain without the butterfly and pearls.

Hope you're all having a good week so far...just think a month from now and Christmas will be all but over...yikes!!!

Digi Stamp Boutique...Birthday Ryley

Afternoon folks,

Hope you're having a good weekend so far and that you have had some of the sunshine we've had here today. I had quite a few errands to run this morning and it was so nice not getting saturated in between places!

I'm sharing a card I've made using one of this week's new releases from the Digi Stamp Boutique and it was this gorgeous little fella Birthday Ryley that caught my eye...he's so cute and has the sweetest little face!

I've kept the card fairly clean and simple and I have to confess that the buttons weren't intended to be part of the design, however when I inked the edges of the image the blimming ink pad dropped bits of sponge right where I then had to strategically place the buttons! I think I just about got away with it but I was pretty annoyed when it happened lol!

You can find all the new Sophia and Ryley images here in the boutique.
