Further to yesterdays post, I couldnt get back on later on because again, Alex had the PC in bits! (Why try fix it when its not broke!?!) Anyway! Here is Gracie Raes' card which I have made today - I wanted to make a crown card, and I attempted to but it went a bit wrong, so I stuck with a normal shaped card! I also would like to enter this into the Dare you to Digi Satmp Friday challenge which is a recipe of 1 ribbon, 2 patterned papers and 3 flowers (I hope my embossed coloured card counts as a patterned paper?!)

I havent even finished tidying my craft room, like I had promised Alex, but its looking a bit neater (I am blaming the mess on not enought storage lol)

Some new cards from me!

I have booked the day off today to start sorting out my craft room and make a few cards (The sorting bit hasnt happened yet though lol). I have made these two cards for a challenge set on UKScrappers. The theme is 'Simple' so to make a card with not much on it.

For the first one, I have used my cuttlebug embossing die 'Lace Tree' and used stickles 'Diamond' for a bit of sparkle on it. Layered it onto hot pink card, on top of DCWV Rose Tinted christmas paper and added a ribbon. Simples!



This second card is again simples! The image is from Elzybells, which I have coloured with Koh I Noors, added a bit of glitter for sparkles. Layered onto blue card then on to some printed paper and layered onto some more blue card!



I will be back later with some more - images from my fav place at the moment - Mos Digital Pencil!

Magnolia Snowman wanted!

Does anyone out there have the magnolia snowman stamp?
I have tried looking on Ebay and posted on a few forums but no one seems to have it!
I would really love this image for some of my xmas cards. If you have this stamp, would you be willing to stamp me 10 or so images out? Or maybe you have this stamp that you would like to get rid of - I would love to buy it from you!
I will cover all costs met for both images or the stamp itself.
Please email me if you can help!

Ahh what a hectic few days it has been!

But I have enjoyed it! :)

I got loadsa money and vouchers, some crafty stuff (Koh I Noors!!!) and some new clothes to! As well as flowers and chocolates! And loads of cards! Thank you to those of you that sent me a card, it was lovely and really made my day (The postman knocked twice with 2 parcels and loads of cards lol). Anyway, enough ramblings, I have entered you all into my candy draw and the winner is... *****DOODLES***** :)

Some PINK christmas cards!

I have made these over the weekend, im not sure about the second one, but the first one is my fav! The papers are just one of the things that 'fell' into my basket at The Range - I just LOVE them!

What a nightmare! (And a sneak peak of my CANDY!!)

I have had trouble getting on my blog, and when talking to Lou on Facebook chat, that keeps coming up with error messages! I tell ya, this PC was two seconds away from being thrown in the canal lol!

Anyway, I have treated myself tonight! We nipped to The Range and like some of you, a few 'extras' slipped in my basket! (I only nipped in to get some dbl sided tape!!). Anyway, I got myself some adhesive gems, adhesive shimmer dots, some YUMMY papermania 'Rose-Tinted' chrostmas papers, some sparkly snowflake brads and some shimmer chalks!



Then, I saw some nice bits to add to my SECRECT CANDY! And I have decided not to be so mean, and give you a sneak peak... Yes, they are Fairydoodles!



Thats it! :) As Looney Tunes would say, Thats all folks!

I am such a numpty! :(

I have raced around sorting out some more cards for the I love Promarkers challenge and I totally forgot there was a sketch to follow! :(

Off to my craft room to start again!!

Pfft what a numpty!

My last attempt for the I ♥ Promarkers Challenge!

And this one, I have made to cheer my nan up! She is currently going through Chemo and not feeling to well (Which is understandable!) and she loves knitting and cats so I thought he was rather cute!
