Hi all sorry I have not been blogging. I have started my new job on the matternity unit at a new hospital and I am loving it even though it is different.

I am late with this one over at Craft4Eternity the challenge is to make an Eazel card that's a great challenge, I love making those cards but they are not easy to photograph. I used on my card a lovely set of balloons from the Patches and Stitch set of clear stamps available from Crafty Sentiments Designs. I have used papers from Basic Grey and papermania.

We have a lovely and talented new artist joining the Crafty Sentiments Designs family and wait until you see her images they super duper cute and we will be having a surprize release coming soon, so watch this space.

Embelishment Recipe

1. Hearts

  2. Glitter

3. Pins

I am sponsoring this challenge so make sure you play along with us to get your hands on one of my image hehee!. Now here is my take on the challenge:

I miss read this challenge for this week I thought I was using beads and buttons etc hehee!. I followed one of my sketches remember you can use my sketches to make your cards if you get stuck, all I ask is that you don't claim it as your own.



I used some American crafts ribbon I purchase from QVC. Punch out some flowers and use some trimcraft buttons and use one of the lovely images from LOTV coloured her with prismacolour pencils, use some Bearly Mine digi papers bought a lot of these last year but never got around using them until now, add pearls and ultra fine glitter, use a cuttlebug embossing folder "swirls", nesties, die cut swirls and a sentiment from my digi release  set Quotes and Phrases that can be found HERE.

Here is a close up



Well that is all from me today, enjoy your weekend and thanks for your comments.

Chocolate and Pink Craft4Eternity Colour Challenge



Hi everyone, well I am feeling much better today the week goes quickly it friday again and we have a wonderful colour challenge over at Craft4Eternity "Chocolate and Pink"....I was not sure about the colour combo but when you do put them together they are really nice. I am using a LOTV stamp today on my card the fairy one and they go well with my Love and Romance digital papers that are available HERE. I have followed one of my sketches to make this one.



I coloured her with copics and some ultra fine glitter, use wild orchid craft lace and flowers, leave punch  and an Anita heart stamp as I decided not to add a sentiments, papers from Crafty Sentiments Designs. I also use some liquid pearl to fill the heart with beads to fill it in.

Shape Card



Hi peeps, well last week I had the cold and my nose is still runny at the moment. I miss my DT challenge as I was not in the best mood but I am feeling much better today. I decided to make a Valentines Shape card, I use two of the  Go Kreate dies to make this card.



The papers are free from my craft magazine. I love this Simply Sassy image, very nice to colour and also I have been having a play with my copics to create folds so here is my first attempt and it's not bad. I folded her shirt and a little on her sleeve, pillow and stocks, you will be seeing this way of colouring from now on.



I have also used some wild orchid flowers and a die cut swirl,  sentiments from the Valentine's set from Crafty Sentiments Designs.
