Sorry I've been MIA

Hi All, I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately but I've had problems with my internet connection (grrr!) and my grandfather is back in hospital again. All I seem to be doing is visiting him (but he's worth it). He's on the mend, hopefully, and maybe he will be able to come home next week if he's strong enough.

I'll hopefully be back with a card later (I know, wonders will never cease haha). Thanks for looking.

Cute Card Thursday

This week's Cute Card Thursday theme was "cheers". I stamped the stamping bella image and coloured her with my pro-markers, adding a little spot of stickles to the cocktail. I used plain yellow cs from my stash (to be honest I've had it so long that I've forgotten where I got it from) and flowery glitter cs from the glitter stack by DCWV. The brads are from my stash and the sentiment was done on my pc. I used a sketch from a few week's ago by Jen. Thanks for looking.

70th birthday

I made this card for a lady in work for her sister's 70th birthday. I used the elegant ladies kit once again that I got from QVC. The only extra items that I added were the american crafts ribbon and the making memories metal sister embellishment (originally it was silver which didn't really match the card so I aged it with one of my pro-markers). The flowers are from my stash and the gem brad in the centre is papermania. The sentiment was done on my pc and the gems are by kaiser crafts. I used last week's friday sketchers sketch as my inspiration for the layout but as usual I was too late to enter my card (story of my life at the moment). It looks a little busy in the pic but it's much nicer IRL (honest)! Thanks for looking.

Get well

I made this card for a lady at work. Her mother has been in hospital and she wanted to send her a card. I stamped the inkadinkado image and coloured it with my pro-markers adding a little stickles to the flower. The double sided dp was part of the gorgeous blog candy I won from Han and it's all by Kaiser Craft. I stamped a piece of the plain sided dp with a matching background stamp by inkadinkado. The sentiment was done on my pc. I punched a few small flowers and added adhesive gems by papermania. A really pretty card IRL. Thanks for looking.

A trio of flowers

Here is another card I made for a friend at work. I stamped the verve visual flower and stem three times using my marvy markers. I used dp by 3 bugs in a rug and plain cs from the papermill shop. The sentiment was done on my pc and the adhesive stones are papermania. A very simple card but it looks quite effective IRL. Thanks for looking.

Lili of the Valley challenge

I thought I'd have a go at the Lili of the Valley challenge this week which was "christmas card". I stamped the hero arts winter kitty image and coloured him with my pro-markers. The dp is from the DCWV christmas wishes multistack and the red cs is from the papermill shop. The gold cs is from my local craft shop and the snowflake punch is dovecraft. The sentiment is from craftwork cards and the adhesive gems are by papermania. A simple card that I will probably mass produce for my christmas cards this year (as I haven't made hardly enough yet)!! Thanks for looking.
