MeiFlower

Mei found me on Face Book today and I was really happy to add her as a friend.  I visited MeiFlower at Ally Pally last year and always love having a look through their website.

MeiFlower Blog is currently holding a Blog Candy giveaway, so there is no doubt I am keeping my fingers crossed for that one.

Do have a look at the MeiFlower website there are some lovely things on there xxx

Valentines Day Card

I have made a valentines card for my hubby which I am also entering into Cardmaking & Papercraft manazine's sketch challenge. 

I have used Papermania papers and some embelishments I had, the image is Cuddly Buddly and I have coloured it with my trusty ProMarkers!

Cards, Cards, Cards

Well, something clicked in tonight.  I have made three cards lol

The first two are for Nathan's friends, he has two birthdays within 3 days of each other, so I went for the same KennyK image and coloured them with ProMarkers in different colours.  I used coredination card which I embossed and lightly sanded, then mounted the lot on a 5 x 5 card.

The next one is for one of the mums at school.  I used a craftworks card blank, and the spotty paper is from a freebie stack from Quick Cards magazine, I used my Martha Stewart punch around the page on this and also on the sentiment, which I also used a little silver ink round the edges.  Again I used ProMarkers and some glitter and coloured some gems to match the bows on the shoes which is from Bugaboo.  I then used some lilac flowers from my stash and wound some silver ribbon around the stem before attaching to the card.

Thanks for looking.  I need to go to bed now and I am nodding off at the keyboard lol xxx

Morning

Good morning, I would like to say hello to my newest follower ...  thanks for spending some time with me.

I have been a bit, stuck in a rut, lately, but think I am starting to get out of it.  I was having a "block", loads of cards to make and absolutely no ideas lol

However, I managed a card last night for a lady on DoCarafts for her son's 18th birthday.  I used a Mo Manning digi stamp which I coloured with ProMarkers and then some coredinations card which was run through the cuttlebug with Spots and Dots and finally sanded.  I used a 6x6 card base and added '18' peel offs and a sentiment.

I have also done some colouring to try and get the creative juices flowing, so lets hope this works!

My new Open University course starts this week as well, so need to get my head stuck into those books lol

My Answer to a Plea for Help on DoCrafts

"Gwyneth" on the DoCrafts forum asked if anyone would like to make a card for her daughter's birthday.  It falls on the same day as my son, so I said "I will" lol.

So, I took an orange card blank and used a powerpoint clipart image as the background and a KennyK image coloured with promarkers and attached using pads to give a little height.

So, Happy 11th Birthday Ellen and I hope you like your card x
