Its me

Back with a posting before I am off to bed. Thanks for all the hints re the PC. I have today been trying to get all the rubbish off the pc and putting photos onto cds. Its a slow process but I will get there.





Here is one of the cutie images from Pollycraft again (link in posts below) Coloured with promarkers, craftword cards birthday circle and candy dots, paper was printed.

I got two more cards to share but I dont want to spoil you tonight so you'll have to come back tomorrow ;0)

Nite nite

This year I will....

Not be making any resolutions as they just dont happen!! LOL But I am going to"try" to make smaller cards. I started with my scrap-ling and I learnt that small cards can be cute, so I made a 4 x 4 card today.

Again used the Leanne Ellis stamp from http://www.funkykits.co.uk/

Nearly ended up chucking this card, had a night with the glue, but managed to salvage it. The swirls are Magnolia, craftwork cards message and punched out su scallop.

Hope to do some stamping now.... not sure what to use. Hmmmmm

A lovely Christmas

We had a lovely fun day Christmas and Boxing Day. The boys got too much but had a blast. I got some lovely pressies too and I made a nice roast dinner ;0) I got 11 more promarkers from my Mum, would have been 12 but she couldnt find the other colour. I got Lost in Austin on DVD from my Mum which is great as I really enjoyed the series on TV. SLippers from both my Mum and Darren's parents so my feet are nice and warm. My drunken husband surprised me with coming home with a Kodak scanner, printer and copier and a £20 Marks voucher which I spent today on a fluffy pink dressing gown and a nice star necklace. So on Christmas Eve I was setting up my new printer Darren said "I hope it works I dropped it a few times" (told you he was drunk) LOL What is he like?? I am happy to say it did work.

Promarkers Used ; Meadow Green, Lime Green,Maroon, Apple, Lilac, Pastel Green, Dusky Pink

So I wanted to make a picture using my new colours and I also wanted to play with my cute Denny the Dragon stamp from www.pinkgemdesigns.blogspot.com . All but the watering can has been coloured with the new colours. I used the Stampin' Up! Saleabration stamps again, cant resist and remember order in Jan/Feb over £45 and you will get a FREE set (there are 4 to choose from).. I teamed the stamp up with the punches and made some fun and funky flowers. I used black Stazon to stamp onto the coloured acetate and a white pigment ink on the Rose Red card. The paper is a Daisy Bucket one from The Glitter Pot. I also used my trusty Scalloped Cirle Punch (this is one punch I WOULDNT be without) and a Craftwork cards pink cirle (thanks Jules x)

EVER HAD THAT FEELING WHEN YOUR 2 YEAR OLD IS QUIET?? ITS LIKE THE FEELING OF DREAD.... WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY UP TO.... then you get the whiff of Sudocream and realise its coming from behind the chair!

I was too cross to take a photo of his legs, t shirt, 2 cushions ect ect He was sent upstairs with Daddy (who incidentally left the cream in harms way) to the bath. and I was left to scrub the chair; I then went up and took over the bathing and sent Darren back down to scrub the sofa as I just havent got the muscle to scrub.

How many more days until they are back to school? DRAT Caiden doesnt even go yet!! LOL

Stop by for a spell....

I made this card using the cute Tilda with Thistle stamp. I got it from Crafts U Love... not sure if they have stock still as they have sold a lot recently. I know Sir Stamp alot have their delivery in too.

Card is nothing special but you know I love these Magnolias and I adore colouring with the promarkers too. I used the silver promarker to draw on the lines of her dress and the webbed part at the bottom. The wording is Stampendous. I made the flowers using the Stampin' Up! Scalloped circle and I used the FAB scalloped border on the bottom of the brown. Buttons from Eternal Maker. The green cardstock, patterned paper is SU too... so a real mix of stuff.

Busy week, got two classes at Glitter Pot Saturday.. are you coming? Got some fun cards to make... little bit of fluffles, little but of Changito, little bit of Forever Friends, little bit of Hero too!

Yeee Haw!

I love these little cowboys from Alota stamps and I got three more of these cuties at the weekend, couldnt resist! I got them from Crafts U Love. Also whilst there Geoff gave me some of these cute little bags to "see what I could do with them". Have a few things in mind and this is one of them. Ultra simple idea, cover the front and back with designer paper and decorate to make adorable gift bags... apparently these are a "very good price" so check out their website to see if they are on there and get decorating!

Harvey thinks the bag is for him bless him I will have to make one now wont I?

What I used :
Stamps Alota - Crafts U Love
Papers SEI cant remember where I got them... maybe CUL too
Punch - had it for YEARS!
Large Eyelets - Stampin' Up!
Coloured with Promarkers - Silly Monkey Crafts
Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie cardstock - Stampin' Up!

Blue

Not my mood although I was a bit down last night but the colour of my card. I dont use blue much so I decided to break away from the orange and make a blue (and yellow) card.

The stamp is an adorable "alota" stamp from Crafts U Love. These are lovely to colour and just my style too. The paper is Stampin' Up! and you can order it through your chosen/local demo (or me) The flower is from Crafts U Love. I have added a few "zoomz" for good measure, these are from www.stampgalaxy.co.uk I do hope it helps you when I list where I get things from. I am guessing it might save questions in the end. If you do ever order from anyone I suggest please tell them Caz sent ya!

I actually coloured this one image 4 times, twice with pencils and twice with promarkers just to see how they looked, again one pro marker in the blue scheme and one pencil and promarker in a red/orange scheme. My feelings are that promarkers and pencils are fab! they are so very different I cant compaire them, they are both lovely in their own rights.

Pro Markers

Up until the other day I hadnt of them, now I found them on http://www.sillymonkeycrafts.co.uk/ and have been looking at them, I bit the bullet and ordered a "manga" set of 10 colours. Well I can tell you I am suitably impressed. I made this card yesterday, first time colouring with them and I thought it turned out cute.

** Edited to add - I got this Magnolia from www.Sirstampalot.co.uk
