Happy Hump Day!

Hi-di-ho!

Happy Wednesday. Boy have I had a nice day. No work and no little person. I got up at 9:30, went to weigh in and lost 2lbs, then the supermarket and I've spent the rest of the day making cards. I'm so relaxed its fab. I'm wondering how long this feeling will last when I'm back in the office tomorrow, but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

I have a brighter card (especially for Mary, but you're right, pastel tones are more me!) featuring another fabulous image from Kraftin Kimmie. This is my only Miles the Mouse stamp and I had a bit of a mare finding someone in the UK that stocked it. There's a couple of others that I've got my eye on, but I guess I'll have to get them direct from Kimmie and ship them over from Canada. Not a big deal, but I'm trying to curb my spending, so it'll be a while before they make it into my stash. I coloured Birthday Cake Overdose with my copics. The DP I've used is from a stack of Making Memories paper that has been stashed away for a couple of years and I've used some more Craftwork Cards Card Candy. Apologies for the finger in the photo, airbrushing it out, would just mean less time for crafting, so I hope you'll forgive me :)

Fingers crossed I'll be back tomorrow with some evidence of the cards I made today.

Mother's day card & FBW #98

I've put together a mother's day card for what was going to be an entry into the Quixotic Challenge, but I missed the deadline again. But all is not lost as The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge also want a Mother's day card - huzzah! The Corrosive Challenge Blog is looking for cards with wings and Flutter by Wednesday is a freestyle card but featuring wings as always, so I've managed 3 challenges afterall :O) I really enjoyed making this card and it is somewhat closer to the quality of what I normally do. Looking at the state of my blog you wouldn't know I've been cardmaking for 20 years! (but if you saw my craft room you would!)

I've used the beautiful Kraftin' Kimmie Bird Fairy stamp and coloured with my copics. I've only been using copics for 2 weeks now but I'm really pleased with the results I'm getting already. Still need to practice lots, as if I needed an excuse! Papers are Basic Grey and I've used a rub on sentiment from Making Memories.

Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know what you think, it really does mean a lot to know what you think and it means I can go and take a look at your uuber fabulous blogs.

Valentines day card

It's ages since I've been able to get a card done to post, whilst I've been visiting blog land physically making a card seems to have been a step too far, but I'm on a roll for valentines now. Here's the first one, and I'm sure I'll post some more before the week is out :)


I've used the beautiful Beary Big Hugs stamp from Belles and Whistles. The lovely Elaine over at Quixotic Paperie sent this stamp to me 3 weeks ago now and I've only just got round to inking it up, despite it calling me every day. I've coloured with watercolours and mounted on some stunning K and Co paper from the Smitten range and finished off with a Making Memories Sweet and some ribbon from my stash. I think it might be Bazzil, but don't quote me on that!

I've entered this card into the Roses on Paper challenge blog. It's a colour challenge this week of pink, brown and cream. Fingers crossed - lol, I never get anywhere with challenges, but its all good fun :)

Thanks for stopping by...See you tomorrow...
