New Year Wishes!

Hi peeps,

I just want to wish everyone a year filled with love, fun and crafting goodies lol,

I've been creating a few cards while it's been the holiday season between being called by my hubby and son who just needed this and that, lol,

you may also notice I've tweaked my blog look, what no, not me I never do that do I !

think I might leave it like this a while though lol,

This card is using my Distress Inks, and I've really enjoyed using them, the image is of course a Magnolia one, from the latest collection and I think she's so cute I love her and have used her loads already he he,

I've also been playing at doing my backgrounds with the Di's and I'm quite pleased with this look too,

I'm entering this into Just Magnolia ~ Anything goes

Simon Says Stamp ~ Time to party/ Celebrate 

Other bits and bobs used are Tulle, roses, Prima flowers, sewing machine, distressing tool, pearl strings, pearl gems, stickles glitter glue,

Here's a closer look at the tulle lol,

thanks for looking, have a lovely day,

Just for you

Hi peeps, sorry I'm behind visiting you all again, Jim's still off and the weather's been gorgeous so I've not been on here much, lol, but I should get to you today,

I made a card though following the lovely sketch by Lilian  over at The Sugar Bowl, where the extra is to use pearls, my image was a RAK from the lovely Elaine, Thank you hun, I loved using it she was such a dream to colour too, talking of which I used Distress Inks,

My Colour create card and my exciting news,

Hi peeps, I'm using the post writer on my blog for the first time, would you believe it as I normally use Live writer but it has no labels slot so I have decided to use this, so I'm hoping this comes on my blog ok, as I'm also trying to get it to come up tomorrow or today if your reading this lol,

I've used Distress inks to colour the image, the image was sent to me as a RAK by my lovely friend Elaine, Thanks hun,

Challenge, Lily of the Valley,

The colours this time over at Colour Create  have been chosen by or lovely Victoria and she's gone for Hot Pink, warm Orange and Saffron, the optional extra is butterflies,

It's not colours I usually use but I must say I enjoyed the challenge and this is my card,

My exciting news is the lovely Sandie over on Paperplay has asked me to be on their DT team and of course I said yes, so what a fantastic week I've had lol, the theme for them this week is open and so I've made a christmas card, I don't know why because I usually don't do Christmas till November lol, I have used one of Di gorgeous Digi's for my card from here and it was so lovely to print, and colour,

Challenges, Little Red Wagon~ Christmas in July...   Tuesday Taggers~ Christmas in July...   Cupcake Craft~ Pastel Christmas,

 I have used a Marianne  Creatables die for the main body of my card using glitter card and making sure the top of two of the scallops were out of the die so it made a card lol, I then used a scallop and circle Nestie for the image which fit's perfectly inside, the image is coloured with copics and has quite a bit of glamour dust on them, the ivy is a punch I've had for years, well I hope your all having fun, hope to see you soon,
