Penny Black Clusters

This is such a gorgeous stamp by Penny Black. Coloured in a sloppy messy watercolour technique using marvy pens. Basic Grey Granola - inspiring colours!

Unfinished

Waiting for a sentiment. I like this colour combo. Coloured with Marvy's and a paintbrush - sloppy technique but I kind of like it! Papers are Basic Grey - Granola.

Rainin' Daisies Penny Black

Penny Black stamps - nearly always a cure for a lost mojo!

Forever Friends Wedding

Penny Black Bunny Bath

Coloured with Marvys and a watercolour brush. Papers are K&Co "wild raspberry".

70th Birthday Mum

Made for a friends mum. Hope she likes it!

No stamping for a change!

Used Nesties to make this round card. The flowers are K&Co. Just fancied making something a but different!

For Molly

Made these using a kit I had that I'd forgotten about - this was a card kit from QVC by Brenda Pinnick. Instead of using the cards in the pack I made them into toppers and embellished a bit more. The chipboard shapes are great quality. So, some quick and easy makes!

Using up some scraps of paper

I have so many scraps of paper - at least two big boxes - so I thought I would do a wee clear out. I didn't get very far before these gorgeous warm colours distracted me - so I made a wee card. Had to cut the card size down to fit the papers!

Some more easel cards

Pepper and Friends

Gatefold style

Guilty!

of two things!! Lack of inspiration.. and... not posting what I have made!

Here goes with a wee catch up!

easel card

First attempt at an easel card. I'm amazed at how easy these are - and really effective! I've used my new paper collection - No Worries, by g.c.d studios. I got it from the craft santa!

I've also decided to try and use more beads in my cards. These little bugle beads and pearls are threaded onto 28 gauge silver craft wire from Bead Smith.

Just need to try and get my inspiration by to keep crafting!

Jump!

Sarah at her dance show - this was the outfit for "Jump" by the Pointer Sisters.

She had great fun!!
