I got my scraproom kit during the week and immediately had an impulse to attack the SEI kit

Everything is from the kit apart from the butterfly on the second

Paperplay Challenge Week 17

I haven't done one of these paperplay challenges in ages, JulieM set this challenge and I actually done two cards for it.

These were inspired by the tags you get on jeans in the likes of River Island.

The first one is perfect for a teenage boy I think anyway, the font is Bleeding Cowboy, love this font for grungy type cards and her I am with my kraft card again............

Same font but a bit girlie, love lime and purple combo, backing paper is BG Eva

Close up

Aren't Care Cruds Daisy & Dandelion Stamps great, so cute, perfect for just stamping, I just don't have time to colour images at the moment, so I think stamping on coloured card or paper is a great way of using stamps, loving kraft card at the moment too:)

Some cards I've made over the past couple of weeks just need to find that extra day in a week to get to play with new stash I keep buying, so hard to resist all the scrummy new products.

Love this sweet sparrow tile stamp from Magenta and the BG porcelain papers, I love these papers!

I got some shots in the garden over the weekend, one of the cats just couldn't keep her nose out!

Valentine card

This was my Valentine card for my OH, I quite like making masculine cards.
The blue cardstock is Bazzill Swizz Dots, love this but hate cutting it up, oh will just have to get more! The 'U' is grungeboard, just inked up, I distressed the edges of the card layers to hold the ink better

Long necklace

I really like this, I made it as a present for OH sister for Christmas, she was delighted with it, just her colour!

Invites

I've been a bad blogger!!!!! Mainly due to the fact that I'm up the walls!

Here are just some of the invites that have been keeping me busy, long may it last!

Magnolia Cards

Gone a bit mad on Magnolia stamps lately, got a few new ones too, but haven't used them yet, I really have to get back to xmas cards.

Paperplay challenge week 03

Finally got to doing a challenge over on paperplay, all pink and white, now that is a challenge for me, I'm just not girlie, girlie, so here it is

Finally got around to making some Christmas cards, loads more to do.

Love this Basic Grey Wassail card kit, will used some of the ideas for more of my Christmas cards.

Made a batch of this using the now old reliable cuttlebug embossing folder.

Just love them. These are for my customers during the year, still about 50 more cards to make before I think about my own personal ones.

Some of the random necklaces as I mentioned in my first post only got around to taking pics yesterday. I think my favorite is the blue, brown and green one. They are all glass beads. I love the variety you get, the weight and colours are amazing. My favorite at the moment are the silver foiled beads.

Happy Hallowe'en......................

My first carved pumpkin, was quite happy with it, but will definitely get a bigger one next year!

New Cards

I was a busy beaver yesterday, decided to use some of the papers my scrap-room kits. I love autumn and its colours. Hope it comes through in my cards.
The quote card was an idea that stuck in my head after a visit to another blog but I can find it again to give the lady credit. If it's you let me know!

Halloween ATC's

These are ATC's were for a Hallowe'en Swap that I took part in recently, arranged on CS forum and also with some crafters in the US. Pics were taken when the ink was still wet so the could be arranged better!

Jewellery

Well I finally got a blog! I hope to update it regularly with my crafty offerings.

First up I have some jewellery to add. The pearl green necklace I made for my aunt.
Glad to say she loved it.
The second one my cousin made it under my instruction. I love how it turned out have since made more of these. Will takes pic in day light tomorrow.
