Swing Monkey

Hi!  It's Friday!  First working week of 2016 now complete and it's time to relax.  Still continuing with water colouring for the moment I thought I would have a go at this Whipper Snapper stamp called Swing Monkey.  I've used Tim Holtz Distress Markers to colour him.

I'm entering this card in "Anything Goes" at the Brown Sugar Challenge Blog.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Tweet!

Hi! and a happy Monday everyone!  It's a lovely day here in central Scotland - feeling very autumnal though (brrrr!) It doesn't seem like two months since the summer holidays!  I think I might have to look through the photos to remind myself! 

I've been having a play with some new stamps from Stampin' Up!  Hello Love, Chalk Lines and Draw the Line.  I absolutely love this little bird.. I know it's simple and so easy to colour but I just think it's so cute! 

Not sure what to get up to today. The craft room is looking tidier than it's been in a long time so I should be feeling motivated!  Lets see.. do I craft, or do I just procraftinate!! 

Lily of the Valley Coffee Break

Lily of the Valley Coffee Break - what a lovely stamp! Coloured this one with Pro Markers - need to practise more with these. Decided that I need Pro Marker storage so I've ordered 2 of the pen folders from Craft Obsessions. At least that way I will be able to see all the colours I have. Obviously (!?) I had to order some more colours to fill in the empty spaces!! Luckily they had money off the individual pens so I got a bargain - I could hardly pass up a bargain!!

Just have to wait on the postie delivering them now...

A Gorjuss Girl...

These Gorjuss stamps are just great. Excellent drawings and fantastic to colour. Just made this card to use up some more of the K&Co paper from earlier.

LOTV Again!

Another Lily of the Valley stamp. They really are so cute!

Papers are K&Co from the Jubilee collection. Stamp is coloured with Marvys and I tried to only use a few colours from the paper - kept it simple.

The glitter is Stickles Star Dust.

Quite good fun for a quick and easy make.

How Old Would You Be?

And another card with Prima Fairy Flora paper and a LOTV stamp.

This was a really cheery one to make - the colours are so lovely!

And I love the words.. how old would you be??

I think I need to get some more lace!

ps. removed the dark green leaves.. didn't think they went that well!

With Love...

I just love these Lili of the Valley stamps. I'm looking forward to their next release on 11th of January! Here's a sneak peak!

Papers are Prima - Fairy Flora (really is a gorgeous range!!)

Just for you...

Happy New Year!

I know that I have been absolutely terrible at keeping my blog up to date in 2010. There were reasons and I'm very glad to see the back of 2010. But, rather than start on a negative note, I'm going to concentrate on the positive - 2011!!

So, New Years' resolutions.. not going to bother.. why set yourself up with a goal you are probably going to fail!

Instead, I will look at each little achievement as a step in the right direction!

Apart from all my christmas cards I've not made any cards for ages. Going to change all that now though and try and get my creative mojo back!

Here is my first attempt.

Paper: from the Prima Fairy Flora stack

Flowers: Prima

Stamp: Lili of the Valley (watercoloured with Marvy pens)

Basic Grey Cappella

Yet another brilliant paper collection from Basic Grey! Cappella - a collection of creams, warm browns and a fresh hint of a peppermint-like green. Gorgeous!

The flower pot card was made using scraps.

The image on the easel is by LOTV - from their new range out earlier in June. Coloured with Marvys.

Hoppy Birthday!

Penny Black "Toadily Yours". Nice and bright!

Papers are from daisy d - the cardstock stack - lovely colours!

Birthday Bella again!

Help, I'm running out of names for my bella cards. It would be so easy to become addicted to Bella!

I just love the papers on this one - by Cloud 9 Design called Lustre Floral. The finish doesn't really come across in the photo unfortunately!

Flourish

Papers are from the new DCWV extreme everyday paper stack. The stamp is Penny Black.

Cute
