HAPPY BIRTHDAY / HAPPY VALENTINES DAY HUBBY

Morning All

Well ... today is not only St Valentines Day but it is also my hubby's birthday :) so I have to make him two cards (not that I mind lol) ... so today I thought I'd show you his valentines day card and I'll pop back tomorrow with his birthday card :)

Here you go .....

This cute little mouse is from DIGISTAMP BOUTIQUE and I've coloured her with Copics, the "heart" card is from my stash and I've made a circle to highlight the date, the sentiment is one of mine - you can find it HERE and I've finished off with CARD CANDI and FLOWER RIBBONS both of which are available at my shop :) ... I might add he loved it!!

HOME SWEET HOME

Afternoon blogland :)

What a wet, cold and miserable day it is today here in Essex :( ... so I'm crafting :)

Thought I'd stop by and share with you a couple of New Home cards I've made ... hubby asked me to make them for two of his team who are moving house ... so here they are ... same - but different lol

They are both DIGISTAMP BOUTIQUE images - you get a set of three houses separately and three houses joined together and I've coloured them with Copics, matted and layered and used Martha Stewart punches on both and finished off with ribbon and card candi.  The sentiment is one of mine from a set of 6 - LINE SENTIMENTS - NEW HOME 

I've added them to the January Competition over at DIGISTAMP BOUTIQUE BLOG

Hope you like them and thanks for stopping by ... catch up with you soon

BIRTHDAY WISHES

Morning All

I'm gonna have a crafting day today .... yippee!!!!!

I've decided to get as many Christmas Cards done as I can .... I've already coloured a lot of the images in - just a case of making the cards now lol!! So I may be back later showing you what I've done :)

Anyway ... thought I'd show you a card I made for hubby to give one of his girls at work for her birthday ...

I love these SUGAR NELLIE DIGIS ... so beautiful!!! I've coloured her with Copics and mounted her on my new Sizzix set of nesting shapes ... (I bought them in September and have only just used them - shame on me lol!!!!), the DP is from a My Minds Eye paper stack and I punched the flowers from the same, the sentiment is one of mine and I've finished off with pearls and card candy

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by :)

MR FIX IT!!

Afternoon All

Been a busy bee today ... I've cleared out my understairs cupboard ... I've never seen so much rubbish and how many coats can one family own!!!! LOL ... but it's looking lovely now :)

Then I made two cards for my brother's birthday this weekend .. one from Mike & Me and the other from the kids - here is the first one ... I'll be back with the other one tomorrow :)

As soon as I saw this Mo Manning image MR FIX IT .. I knew it was perfect for my brother's birthday as he loves a bit of DIY.. I've coloured him with Copics.  The DP is Fancy Pants and I thought the stripey bit looked a bit like wallpaper LOL, the sentiment is one of mine and was a freebie a while back at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU and the "drill" charm is from my friend Sharon's shop EWE 2 CAN CRAFT

Hope you likey ... here is a sneak peak of the second one I'll be back with tomorrow he he

Have a great rest of your day and I'll catch up with you tomorrow :)

WITH SYMPATHY

Morning Blogland .. it's a lovely day here in Essex .. hope it's lovely wherever you are too :)

Today I thought I'd show you one of the cards I made for the Magazine article I did in Complete Cardmaking ... this is the sort of card we all dislike making but I wanted to show you how it can be done by just using a sentiment ....

I absolutely love this poem .. we read it at both my Mum and Dad's funerals and I think it sums up exactly what you feel ... this sentiment is part of a set of 6 REMEMBRANCE sentiments which you can find at my shop CRAFTS 4 YOU - finished off with SEAM BINDING and CARD CANDY

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by ...

Good Afternoon All :)

Another lovely day in Essex but a bit blustery ... still perfect weather for crafting (any weather is perfect for crafting LOL)

On Saturday we are going to our friend's son's 18th birthday party ... I can remember the day he was born LOL .... makes me feel very old ... so I thought I'd show you the card I've made for him

I've used a fab image from the digi downloads MIKEY COLLECTION at Charmed Cards and Crafts .. these images are so good for teenage boy cards ... and I've coloured him with copics / mounted him on nesties, the papers are from Nitwits ON A HIGH NOTE, the sentiment I've made to fit the occasion and die cut with nesties, and finished off with BAKERS TWINE, MUSICAL CHARM and CARD CANDY

I hope you like it :)

SPECIAL DELIVERY

Afternoon All

Well ... can you believe it ... hubby came home last night and said another member of his team had had a baby .. a girl this time... and can I make another card!

He loved the one I made yesterday so I just did exactly the same ... but in pink :)

All the details are the same as yesterday but I've used a different sentiment from the Baby Lines set of 6 ... these are now available to buy on my website Crafts 4 You .. HERE

Just love this image and may well possibly use it every time I have to make a new baby card LOL

Catch up with you soon

A NEW ARRIVAL

Hi all!!

Well ... this is the first card I've made in over THREE WEEKS!!!!

Yesterday hubby asked me to make him a card for one of his team who have just had a baby boy ... if he had asked me last week I would have said "go buy one" but today I wanted to make one ... I'm so happy I'm getting back to normal ... I missed my crafting!!!

I love this Sugar Nellie's adorable baby digi download .. it has to be one of my fave baby images and I've simply added a pale flesh colour and blue to his hat - you can download it HERE at Funky Kits.  The papers are from Nitwits GRINS & GIGGLES, the sentiment is one of mine and will be available at CRAFTS 4 YOU very shortly and I've embellished with card candy and a spacer/gem brad :)

Hope you like my "getting back to crafting" card LOL

Catch up with you soon

TILDA IS LEFT HANGING

Good Morning All

It's supposed to be sunny today ... it don't look like it at the moment LOL ... come on sun where are you????

Oh well ... ironing and crafting it is then!

Now .. just to let you know there is still about a week to enter our challenge over at TOTALLY TILDA - our theme this time is ....

MAKE A HANGING CHRISTMAS DECORATION

so we don't want no cards this time around .... we want to see a Christmas Decoration you would HANG on your tree :)

If you are in any doubt pop on over and check out the DT inspiration ... just gorgeous as usual :)

Here's mine .....

I used my new fave toy ... my Grand Caliber, and using the grand circles made a frame in gold mirri card (I made two identical ones and glued them back to back for more stability and so that it is gold on both sides), then using a holly punch .. punched out lots of holly leaves in shades of green and arranged them around the frame .. added some red mirri card candy and some glitter

Then, using my crop-a-dile, I punched a hole in the top and set it with an eyelet and threaded ribbon through.

I think this is still one of my fave Tildas, Santa's Little Helper, and I coloured her with Promarkers

Hope you likey :)

Have a fab Sunday and I'll catch up with you soon :)
