You may notice I'm missing lol

Hi guys, I'm afraid I won't be blogging this week and maybe next, as my computer has gone squiffy and won't let me connect to the internet etc, so it will have to go to a pc repair place to be looked at, so I'm writing this on a borrowed one,

I haven't got access to Picassa though so I can't edit my photos etc, 

as if that's not enough our boiler has broken down too, hope this isn't going to turn into three things lol,

 soI will be back as soon as I can

hugs Liz xx

For you

Hi guys, this may be short as I forgot to  write my post for our paper play challenge and I'm looking after Tegan lol,

our challenge today is 

for a mother/aunt/sister

I coloured this image  a little while ago using my distress re-inkers, the background is made using the same and it's got white acylic paint mixed with Victorian velvet on the edges, 

The dots are made using liquid pearl,

Roll on Spring

Hi guys, it's raining here again today, I hear down south is having a drought, I wish lol!

for my card today I thought spring, summer weather, trees, flowers, butterflies, and no COAT lol,

This is again done with my re-inkers, I think I'm getting the knack more now lol, well hopefully!

the main shape is cut using a Grand nestie circle die, the I've used a smaller one to which I've added a Martha Stewart Butterfly punch too,

my image is cut using a nestie labels die,

the papers are all machine sewn, I gave my machine some lubricant the other day and I think it liked it, it seems to have stopped making all the weird noises it was doing, so much for a non oil machine lol!

I've followed Kylie's gorgeous sketch over at Magnolia Down Under and used Doo Hickey fence and grass dies for the middle strip,

The gorgeous butterfly is from some Pion paper, love these papers so want more!

The stamps at the top were from the paper pad Botanical by Prima,

Flowers WOC, I made the twirls using the stems,

The tree is by Memory Box and is a  Arboscello tree die, love it too,

Hi guys, I felt like a change this weekend and had a go with my copics, I have also used a gorgeous Saturated Canary image too, I know I mean what no Tilda! lol

I also felt like doing something really CAS for me, am I ill? he he,

This gorgeous Canary love image  is a freebie from her lovely blog and when I saw her I just loved her, I'm on a no spend budget at the moment so being free worked perfectly, I so loved her, I wanted not a lot of fuss so I have kept it all pastel  and soft,

the main tag is made using a Go Kreate die then I've cut the image out using a Grand Labels four die,

the gorgeous ribbon is from the Pretty Little ribbon shop,

Flowers are WOC, the film strip is by Tim Holtz ideology, the little pink hearts were from a craft fair and the heart swirl is a Doo Hickey die,

It's the first time I've used my copics in weeks so hope it looks ok,

Guest DT card for Magnolia Down Under

Oh how excited am I!

The challenge today is for 

ONE WORD SENTIMENT  ONLY

so like hello, love, friend etc,

and it doesn't have to be the main focus of your card,

for mine I've used the Doo Hickey flag die by Magnolia and added HI using a small hero arts alphabet set I have, a little twine holds it together,

I'm still practising with my re-inkers, need more practise, but I'm loving colouring with them at the moment lol,

my card started off as a basic square then I've added my own steps again,

I masked cutie pie Tilda onto the window stamp and added hints of glitter and liquid pearl too,

for my steps the front one has a Magnolia Doo Hickey lovely fence die on it which I have edged with vintage photo distress ink then I've embellished this with white rose ribbon which I've added some small pearls too,  some butterflies and  the swirl is a Magnolia Doo Hickey heart swirl die, also on this step is Tilda with lovely lace shoes,

the inner step has two layers of the  Doo Hickey grass border die, on to this I've added a bit of lace, and some more flowers and the heart swirl again too, I've highlighted the heart swirl with a little white acrylic paint, Tilda with wrapped heart is on this layer,

She's my latest to be be coloured with my DI'S and I'm more pleased with her lol,

to finish off the card, all edges are machine sewn, talking of which my machine is making strange noises so I think it may be about to give up the ghost! lol
