Pastels

Hello! A bit of a change in colour tones for this card tonight.  I've gone all pastels! (well, mostly!)

I love this image from Art By MiRan.  I've coloured her with copics and promarkers.  I found two co-ordinating papers which I think have just a subtle colour match.  The card stock is Stampin' Up! (Sahara Sand, Bashful Blue, Blushing Bride, Lost Lagoon).



I'm going to enter her in the following challenges:

Sweet Stamps (Anything Goes) 

Scrap N Challenge (March)

Petal Lu (#11)

Just Keep On Creating

Crafts Galore (#27 Make a Card)

A Bit More Time to Craft (#16 Anything Goes)

I know I seem to say this every week but I can't believe it's Thursday already!  I hope you've had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Take care

No snow here!

Hello! And it's Friday again! I'm looking forward to this weekend. Lots planned - all craft, friends and family. Perfect!


The title "no snow here" refers to the fact the middle of the UK is getting snow and there's not a sign of it here!  What are the odds now that I've said that, of waking up tomorrow to a foot of snow?  Well, the way the sky looks at the moment I think we might be in for heavy rain!


I've been playing with a new image from ArtbyMiran.  Lots of detail to colour.  Used Polychromos, so it took me ages!  I'm quite happy with the finished result though.  Spending time on cards is definitely rewarding!

Gentle Astrid

Hello!  Well that's another week over.. and it was quite eventful!  I'm always glad when the weekend arrives but I do feel like I need this one!

Having a crafty start to the day, and a crafty afternoon lined up too.  Then the rest of the weekend is family stuff.

Here's another Miran digi.  I think I may be hooked!

I've also changed from my typical "warm grey" hair!  I need to practice!

I'm going to enter "Gentle Astrid" in these challenges. Pop over and see all the other entries - they are so inspirational!

Cherry Blossom

Hello! And so here we are at the start of another new week!  Lovely blue sky here today. Lets hope spring is on it's way!
I felt inspired to give the blog a bit of a makeover this morning.  Something nice and bright!


I also finished off a card that I started at the weekend. This digi is called Cherry Blossom from Art By Miran.  I coloured her with Polychromos.  Took me over an hour.  I think I might try again and use Promarkers as she is a lovely image to colour. Lots of detail!

I'm going to spend the rest of the morning doing some tidying - the craft room floor seems to have gone missing (again!).  And then a task I have been meaning to do for ages.. go through all the boxes of cards I have made before that are just lying around!  Still not sure what I'm going to do with them all!

The some work this afternoon.. but hopefully not too much!

Whatever!

Hello! And it's Friday again!  Wet and cold here. But that's ok as it's a night for relaxing!  It's been a busy week and I really did intend to try and do some crafting, unfortunately the social life got the better of me.. a lovely meal out on Wednesday night (totally not the norm for us) and then a Burns Supper last night - hosted by the kids at school!  And they were amazing!  Dancing, poetry, song.. and they served about 200 people with haggis, neeps and tatties!

It's just great to see Primary 7 (so that's 10/11 year olds) being so confident!  I know lots of people that would never stand up in front of a room of 200 people and say one line.. let alone recite Burns poetry (lets face it, it's not the easiest!)

Anyway, back to the crafting!

Got a new digi.. and she's got attitude!  (what ever!!)

Coloured her skin with alcohol pens (I need to get some practice with the Polychromos).

Then I had a play!!

And here she is! I had such fun doing the hair.  This is so not my usual style!

I'm hopeful for some time this weekend to play some more.  A little package of goodies arrived which I've not unpacked yet. I will reveal more tomorrow!
