Birthday Card..........

Good evening all I've yet another birthday card using one of the images I coloured the other week and also a favourite of mine.  The image is a Sugar Nellie digi stamp and as I say its one of my favourites...just love it...! For the card the image was coloured with Promarkers...two pieces of  paper from Divine Digital's current DAD was used for the background....I added two of Birds flower borders and a birthday sentiment from a file from UKS then added a gingham ribbon..gold hot fix nail heads for the centre of each flower and small stick-on pearls to finish. Hope you enjoy looking and hope you like.........

I must go now...be back soon...thank you for calling by.....take care.....!!
                                                    

Lilac Lady............

Here's a quick card for you...and it's also going to be a quick post too I'm afraid but had to pop on and show that I haven't come to a complete standstill with my crafting....lol.....made this card last night...hope you like............

  The P & C file was cut with my Silhouette Cameo...I layered the main image using black card and a piece of lilac glitter paper then attached it to an A5 white linen card...the sentiment and decoupage parts were assembled using foam pads and to finish off  the card I added black peel-off corners and black stick-on pearls. The file's from Craftsuprint and was designed by Joanna Swinton.

That's me for today...I'm popping off as quick as I popped on but will be back soon.......thanks for calling by.....take care...!!

Something Just A Little Bit Different..............

Not a card this time for my "main show and tell"......but later in the post I'm going to be showing the "updated" version of Laila's  birthday card that I included in my last post...I've just added a little something more to it and I like it much better........
So to my first upload...it's a lovely heart shaped box made from a cutting file designed by Debbie - Paper Pulse Blog Spot - but I'm afraid my photos don't do it the justice it deserves. Pop over and visit Debbie you'll just love her blog I assure you.
Apart from using black and white card to cut the file I embellished the box with stick-on pearls that I re-coloured with a Promarker and then added a flower from Wild Orchid Crafts and a bead string I had in my stash.
Ooops...had to come back to edit this post because I forgot to state the daisy border was from Birds Cards...just put it down to a senior moment....LOL
Anyways back to the heart shaped box I'm uploading three shots of it so you can see it a bit better.........hope you like........

And lastly the updated photo of Laila's birthday card......the balloon is from Debbie too....

Time for me to say my goodbyes for now..I have to go and set up my new computer.....it has Windows 8 and I'm hoping I can get on with it.  I've heard good and bad things concerning W8...just hope I end up in the good things category....LOL
Hope you have a lovely weekend...thank you for calling by please drop in again......take care...!!

Card...1st Birthday..............

Hi...hope you're having a great weekend...just popped on to upload and show you the card made for my granddaughter's first birthday coming up in three weeks.  I really can't believe a year has gone by already since our lovely Laila was born...it's passed so quickly....!!  I hope you like the card...all that's left for me to do is find a suitable verse for it........

The card base and layers plus teddy bear were from a file by Lyn Simms at Craftsuprint...I cut the name using my Cameo...assembled all parts using 1mm foam pads and embellished the card with small pink stick-on pearls in the centres of the cut-out flowers..googly eyes and a bow for the teddy bear...and I stress the googly eyes are securely attached...not that Laila's mummy is going to let her play with the card....LOL
Well it just leaves me now to thank you for calling by and as always you're welcome to call again.....enjoy whats left of your weekend.....take care..!!

I've Brought My Promarkers Out Of Retirement.........

Here's the first card  made using one of the images I coloured after bringing my Promarkers "out of retirement" last weekend.  As I said in my last post I hadn't done any colouring for an absolute age. I enjoyed it but I need a bit more practice me thinks...lol...so here goes I hope you like...........

                                         
The "Lacy Leaves" background is one by Jennifer Wambach at the Silhouette Store...the digital stamp image "Rosalee" by Delicious Doodles was from Instant Card Making Downloads and as mentioned coloured with Promarkers.  I used  a rust coloured card that I thought complimented the piece of leaf designed paper to mat the image, paper and background.  I then just finished the card off with hot-fix nail-heads and a peel off sentiment. I was intending to put a bow on the card but I didn't have the right shade of ribbon for it.....must send off another order.............Hmmmm

Got to go I'm afraid...will be back soon...thank you for calling by........take care...!!

Hope You're Having A Great Weekend.........

Hi I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.....maybe a creative one too...!!  I spent a good part of yesterday cutting files with "Silla" my new favourite friend.....and then of course had to go and make a quick card......I think it would have been awfully rude not to....LOL...!!
I also brought my Promarkers out of retirement last night...I haven't done any colouring for an age...so I sat colouring my images feeling like one happy little bunny...LOL

 Back to the card though...I chose a black and white theme...I love that colourway for cards...and used a cutting file from Krewella Kreations......hope you like.....

As I said the background cutting file was from Krewella Kreations...the butterfly was from the Silhouette Online Store and to finish the card I embellished with large and small black stick-on pearls.  I did contemplate putting a small black organza bow above the centre mat but decided it didn't need it.....what do you think? I also purposely left off a sentiment too because as yet I don't know what I'll be using the card for.  Anyways I know you shouldn't blow your own trumpet but I'm really pleased with the way this card turned out...yes I actually like this one...LOL LOL...!!

Well that's me for today I'm afraid...thank you for calling by you're so welcome to call again...take care..!!

Bendy Card 1.............

The 1st February can you believe it.....the time seems to be going by so fast it's scary...!!  This is going to be a lightening visit I'm afraid...just long enough to post the card but I shall be back soon..!!  The card was cut from a file designed by Tina Fitch at Craftuprint, to embellish the card I used a rose and leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts, some stick-on pearls and a peel off sentiment. These Bendy cards are quick to make but have a lovely end result I think...so here goes...hope you like....

Well that's me for today as I said it was going to be a lightening visit so until next time I'll thank you for visiting and hope you come by again.....take care...!!
