Happy Mothers Day

Morning all!!! Yes I have made a start on mothers day! As were away this year there is NO hope of 'forgetting' and having a last minuet making session!! But on the plus side.... I can have a day off, hubby will be with us and so I CAN and WILL put my feet up for the day!!! 

I brought a new stamp this week, I have seen it about and forgot about her, then saw her and just couldn't resist! This is the beautiful Petal Melody from Crafts and Me.

She is so nice to colour!!! I have coloured her a few times in different combos, just to try and see what colours I can make!!! I have made this card for my Grandma for Mothers Day, its a bit simple but she isn't one for fancy fussy cards, she would rather things were simple but effective, i thought this was just perfect. 

I coloured for the 1st time on Kraft, quite impressed with how she has turned out.  I was rather nervous that it would look horrid or I would make the colours run, but she has turned out quite well!!  She was coloured with copics

Hair - E37, E35, E33, E31

Dress - R17, R14, G05, G07

Skin - E95, E11, E00, E000

The card blank is a 5x7 and the papers were just bazzill scraps from my draw, I added some peel offs for some bling! 

I hope you like her.  Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!

Dead Men Tell No Tales...

No No No... I haven't gone crazy... well I hope I haven't, maybe I have! This is part of the sentiment on todays card!! I coloured up this fab Pirate from Tickled Pink last week and my little helper (Amelia) couldn't wait to get him on a card!! 

I have to say he is kinda cute!!! This is Little Pirate Frankie from Tickled pink Stamps.  I brought him a while back and found him in the 'to colour' box of images.  He will be printed off again rather soon!! I made this card for a friends little boys birthday, he turns 8 at the end of Feb, I can't wait to give him the card now! 

Turning 8 is such a big thing, they don't want fussy cards so I kept this quite simple. 

The papers are from my stash, The small 'map print' is Su paper that I dreaded cutting into! but its over now and I feel that I can now use some of the paper at least!! The PIRATE paper was from my local craft shop, I brought it ages ago, and finally found a use for some of it!!! I thought it had worked quite well the way PIRATE sits along the bottom, I couldn't resist 'Dead men Tell no Lies' up the side of the image!! 

i coloured the image using my copics and for the life of me I can't find my notebook.... I will edit tomorrow as soon as I find it!!!

Believe the world is full of magic....

Right now, I wish my lil world was full of sunshine! Its so cold here in the UK! My fingers feel like ice pops.... Roll on the summer is what I say! just looking out onto the garden today while crafting docent make me feel any better!! 

I suppose it doesn't help that we have the 'boiler man' in this week, I can't wait to get it finished! New rads and rads in places that they should be! Oh it will be nice!!! Then it will be onto the kitchen.... mmm so looking forward to that one! NOT! Well i will be once its done!!! 

Well I have been creating this morning, think in the process I have trapped the nerve in the top of my right arm as it hurts so much at the moment even when I'm typing! But here she is, one little ray of sunshine that I can't help but smile at! Pippi!!! 

I have made this card for a friend of mine, its her birthday next week, I wanted something cute for her as I always remember her as cute!! I can't believe this person will be 17! I only seems like yesterday that I first met her and .... well I can't say too much more as I don't want her to see this and know its her! 

Ohhh look new one from me, been trying the 'cloud' thing for ages and never managed to do it properly - so gave up hope and binned every effort, todays effort is better, still not 100% but I think it takes practice!! Im quite impressed though!

Ohhh this little one is so yummy!! I used B05 and B02 for her skirt and Top, B00, Y00 and Y000 for ever wings and shoes, her wings don't show much there but they look FAB! E11, E53, E21and a bit of E000 for her skin, was quite impressed with that on´, added E95 for her cheeks this time! E35, Yr23, YR16 and YR15 for her hair! I went all out today with colours, but then I have got all day today! 

Some little flowers from my stash, I think they were from e-bay, I bulk ordered loads ages ago, must stock up soon! The papers are from my stash and the sentiment is a LOTV one!
