I've Won

I am so excited I have won an image from Mo's Digital Pencil in the recent blog hop.  I have'nt won anything before and it's a great feeling.  There are so many of Mo's images that I like it's been very hard to choose, but in the end I chose 'My Friend' which a little girl looking under a gate at the dog peeking out.  I loved it the first time I saw it on someone else's blog.  It's one of those images that make you say 'ah how sweet' but without being too sugary sweet.  When I get the time I will let everyone see what I have made.

new cards

Hi there,

It's just ages since I last posted but I've not been idle, just busy.  I've wipped around blogland regularly leaving an odd comment along the way. Anyway I think it's time I put some new pictures on my blog.

This is a digi image I bought from Sketching Stamper and I love it.  I have always loved fuschias and this is a dream to colour.  She has a number of gorgeous images available do go and have a look.

This is another digi, this time from Just Inklined and again they have some fantastic images available, not just flowers but all sorts.  I saw this image coloured on  Jak Heath's

 blog and loved it and I'm pleased with how mine turned out.  I made it for my daughter's birthday last week.

This is a stamp from Stamps Away which I bought some time ago thinking it would be good for men's cards and also for Get Well cards and this has proved to be true.  I have been trying out using ink to colour my backgrounds and I am very pleased with this one, I think it really makes the image 'pop'.  I don't think it shows up very well at all in the photo though.  Photographing my cards is also something new for me and I'm going to need a lot of practice I can see but this is 'fun' right well maybe but not yet.

Hope you like what you see and I would just love it if you left me a comment.  It would be nice if there was a counter or something to let you know how many times your blog has been looked at, perhaps there already is one and I just don't know about it. 

I am going to try to upload at least on a weekly basis but the weeks go by so quickly and Christmas is coming and I have  customers who buy my cards and then there are my own which makes a lot of cards to make, hey ho I do enjoy making cards and get a real kick out of it when someone buys a card they like, it makes my day.

NEW CARDS

Hi everyone,

I have been busy making cards to sell at our church's summer fair and for the coffee morning that I visit once a month and have not had time to do any challenges recently.  We also went on holiday for a week on a river cruise in Germany.  So I thought I would show you some of the cards I have made.

I made this card awhile back for my granddaughter's 5th birthday in May.

This last one is one of Mo's digi images.  I just adore her she makes me smile every time I see her.  I think she has gone to a good home and I'm sure there will be more to follow as I love her so much.

 I seem to spend loads of time looking at other peoples blogs, everyone is so talented and I am in awe.  I will try to keep a bit more up to date but who knows Christmas is coming and many more cards will need to be made.

NEW BABY CARD

I made this card to enter the  Whiff of Joy Challenge

 and the  Creative Card Crew challenge which is a combo of pink and green.

The background paper is from my Forever Friends CD ( I really like the papers on this CD),  the image is a Whiff of Joy image, the punch is a Martha Stewart one and the flowers were punched using a retro punch, the leaves with a L-Em punch.  I used my Copics to colour the image.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the card.

Blog Problems.

You may have noticed that there has been nowhere to add a comment on my posts over the last few days.  I have tried everything I could think of to put it right without success.  I was even thinking of starting a new blog but surprise surprise today when I come on here I discovered that the comments were back on Whoopee!!

I am sorry if anyone wanted to leave a comment and couldn't but hopefully everything will be alright now.

Sketch and Stamp Challenge No 29

I have followed the sketch over on

Sketch and Stamp  for this card which will go into my box of cards for sale now. 

The image is a digi image from  Stitchy Bear Stamps isn't he cute.  I coloured him with copics, cut him out and mounted him on foam pads, mainly because I printed him out at too large a size but I like the result.  Quite a simple card really but I do like the sketch and will use it again.  I am also entering him into the Stichy Bear Challenge.

Lili of the Valley Blog Candy - For 3 Days Only

I'm really excited about this 'cause I need some new get well stamps and baby stamps.
