Autumn Colours

Today was one of those days where we stayed in PJ's until around midday, then had lunch and sat around watching TV, I did manage some housework this morning!! Then whilst little one was sleeping ventured into my craft room I say that as I desperately need to re-organsie things it seems that other craft projects/ideas are filling up floor space!!  

Then I remembered a week ago spending a few evenings colouring with my copics, so this afternoon I set about using the wonderful image "Thank You" from Saturated Canary to turn it into a card for use in the following Challenges:

April Mad for Markers Here 'Autumn Leaves Picture'

April Bizzy Becs Here 'Tic Tac Toe'  (Die/Bling/Lace/Ribbon)

The papers are from a Kaisercraft paper pad Hunt & Gather along with dark green & tangerine card stock, I used the 5x7 Detailed Scallops Spellbinder, petite ovals and petite scalloped ovals along with ribbon, lace, rhinestones, flowers & leaves.

Copics were: E0000,000,00,11, R20, E40,41,43,47 C2, YR23,24,27, YG91,93,95,99,

W1,3,5,7, R83 

Wishing you all a lovely week. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Easter!

Hi everyone,

I know it's been a while, just wanted to share some projects with you.  Yesterday it was our last playgroup session for this term so I made some Easter themed cupcakes to take along, the kids and adults loved them!

Then I wanted to make a little something for Charlie to take into School for his Buddy and Teacher!  So I took inspiration for the decorated egg box by Caroline Whelan and did my own using the lovely Bloom Beautifully - Emma digi image by Tiddly Inks and used an old paper range from Kaisercraft called Little Miss along with ribbon & flowers!

 The image was coloured using copics: 

E000,00,21,11,93,17

YR20, 24, 27

Y21,23,26,28

R81,83,85

G000,00,21,24,82

Clear Spica

I would like to enter this into the M4M - March 'New' Easter Challenge

Here is the inside of the box filled with yummy eggs!!

For Charlie's school buddy I did this Rabbit bag made up of paper plates and covered with paper etc. Which I must say Charlie thought was very cool!!

 Wishing you all a very hoppity & egg-cellent Easter.

Best Wishes

M4M - Feb Guest Designer

I would like to say a big thank you to M4M for giving me the opportunity to be their guest designer for February!  When I received the email with the challenge details (Oscars theme. Movies think of your favourite movie character or the glitz and glamour of the red carpet), my first thought was my goodness what shall I do, then immediately I thought of Alice in Wonderland and then remembered I had an image from Some Odd Girl off the 'Mad Hatter' so I set about colouring him and the card came to life.

 The copics used were: E000,00,11,21, W1,2,3,5,7, G94. Papers are Graphic45 'Halloween in Wonderland Collection' , the clapper board I found on the internet, negatives were from my old photo stash then added peel off sticker border and stars, also added the chipboard teacup & spoon again coloured with copics!

Don't forget to pop over and enter your creation into the M4M February challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Where has time gone!!

Where has the time gone!  This year has been a little hectic so far, I spent January getting organised and preparing for my first born Son (Charlie) to start School, thankfully all went well and he is having a great time!

As well as planning for my Dad & Step mum's arrival to Australia for dad's 60th Birthday, we did lots of day trips as well as spending days in the pool at home and had a wonderful meal out for dad's birthday, sadly their visit came to end on 7th Feb and they are now safely back in England. This was my first card I made for the new year (of course Dad's birthday card), there was one other card which you will see later in the week as it was for a Guest DT spot.

The numbers were cut on my cricut, the papers are a very old Kaisercraft range 'Lone Ranger'

.

 

 Copics used: E0000,000,00,11,21,93 B24, W1,2,3,5,7, YG91,93,95,99, R29 

Am also in the midst of putting together an order for 30 Baby Shower invites, which I will post sometime soon. 

Wishing you all a lovely week.
