Flower Power

Hello again :)

The theme over at the Basic Grey Challenge blog this fortnight is Flower Power. I made this card at the weekend which fits the bill perfectly.

Today's image is from Stamping Bella and I've coloured with my copics. I've teamed it with some gorgeous Basic Grey paper from the Wisteria stack. The pearl swirl is Prima.



Nice short post today. I'm so exhausted that I booked tomorrow off this morning (all hell broke loose this afternoon, so I'm feeling a little guilty about it) so I'm going to have nice day all to myself. Cant wait! All I'm going to do is sleep and make cards (probably in my pyjamas) - Yay!

See you tomorrow.

Happy New Year!!!

I know I said I was back months ago, but hopefully this time it's for real. Things have been somewhat challenging and I'm been finding absolutely no down time, let alone craft time. But it's a new year so that means new me :)

I hope you've all been having a fabulous Christmas and New Year. We've all been full of cold, so not as merry as I would of liked, but it's been nice not to be at work. The upshot is I've made some cards over the last two days wooooooohooooo!!! House is a complete bomb, but that's what tomorrow's for (and tomorrow never comes...)


Today's card uses a fab new image I bought from Lili of the Valley. Their store is closed for the holiday, so I can't check what it's called!  I've coloured with my copics and mounted on some gorgeous dp which is Memory Box's Gossamer (My sister's tooth fairy was called Gossamer, but I digress!) I'm totally in love with this paper as you will see by the number of cards I'm going to post over the next few days featuring it. I may have to buy some more...The lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts, the flowers are prima and the sentiment is craftwork cards.

The theme over at LOTV is new beginnings, as this is a new stamp, I'm going to have a punt. Wish me luck!

Now I have a question for you. What method do you use for sticking lace to your cards? I have so many different glues, but none of them seemed to be the tool for the job. Please leave a comment, letting me know your adhesive of choice - ta

I apologise in advance for the dodgy photos that are going to be appearing over the next few days. I need a daylight lamp!

Enjoy the remains of your holiday.
See you soon (for real this time)

Friday Sketchers 86 & Cute Card Thursday Challenge 96 : Fairy Fantastic

Wow, I can't believe it, but my hubby took Ben out to see his grandparents to 3 hours so I was free to get some crafting done! 3 hours of pure bliss whilst it was odd being seperated from him for the first time since he was born, it was also the first time I've been able to relax.

I siezed the opportunity to make a card using the Friday Sketchers sketch and combined it with the Cute Card Thursday Challenge of Fairies. I used the beautiful Fairy Song stamp from Ladybug and Friends and coloured with watercolours. The papers are from My Mind's Eye. (freebie with this month's cardmaking and papercraft magazine - hurrah!) Prima flowers, Anita's crystals (birthday present from the lovely Jen. aka the other fickle pixie) and sentiment from Craftwork cards.

I hope you like it. One day I'll invest in a daylight lamp and will be able to take some half decent photos. It's Linda's birthday tomorrow so I've decided to give it to her. Fingers crossed she wont see this post before then, but considering she's not blogged since October, I may be ok...
