Ops I thought I had posted these!

Lost the plot again! I thought I had put these on the blog for you all to see. Oh well!
This was a class I done the other week at the Glitter Pot with the very talented Kay Carley! You can never get enough copic colouring classes........ Here we used the cute little forever friend stamps. Not sure who the papers were but they sell them at the shop but we also stamped over them with snowflakes and swirls the Kay Carley way..
A fun class had by all. Oh well off now to make a few cards and watch children in need.

Easel card +3

I have just rejoined the hate BT club again for crap service, no BT vision or Broadband so no PC....
Its very quiet here today as the Kitties Lilly n Daisy were spayed n chipped yesterday, n feeling very sorry for themselves, Lilly hates me!



A class with Kim Fee at Crafts u Love the other week using Copics with Sarah Kay and Penny Black. Not one of my favorite stamps, but very pleased with the results and love the tri shutter card. Sorry not sure what paper it was as I am trying very hard not to buy paper at the moment, but Crafts u love have it.
One a little easier to finish off the morning.

O Wow! and on to the favorites, who does not love this little bear? A joy to colour and put together. I think I am finally getting the hang of these Copics thanks Kim!


And finally the Easel card, what a lovely design to show off a such a cute little bear. I do hope he is on his way back from the Forest with my tree. Bye for now thanks for looking all your lovely comments are really appreciated.

Sorry for late posting

I do try to update my blog weekly, if only I could stay awake when I get in from work. All I seem to do is fall asleep, so no cards made and no blogging.
I made this card for my mum's birthday the other week. Im not sure but the picture came out of one of the paper pads and just copied it to a black and white image to chalk. Attached it to some bazill bling and the frame was craft creations again chalked then added a few pearls.



One of my favorite stamps from Penny black, stamped on some purple paper from stash and pearlescent paper and decoupaged mounted into individual frames and added some stickles. Matted and layered with bazill.

tri shutter card

I set my self a task as I saw this style of card on numerous blogs and really wanted to make one. It did take all afternoon and I had to wait to put it on me blog until it had arrived in the post and what with the postal strike I waited a tad longer just to make sure.
This design was inspired by the fabulous Debbie just take a look at her blog things do not get much better, she inspires me so much as her work is stunning.


I used a pack or craftwork cards paper, the birthday set from, I forget the name and can not get up cos Lilly kitten is on my lap.... I only wish I could bottle some of that purring noise as it is beautiful. I know its candyfloss marshmallow and friends , decoupaged at random with a woody look paper. Mounted on various nestabilities. With a computer generated message.

Hope you like it as I loved it and did not want to give it away, Oh well, Happy Birthday Wendy.

On this lovely sunny day!

A card for a giraffe fan, a colleague at work loves giraffes and every year I try to find something different. This year with the help of Chris and Brenda from Chickenshack for the loan of their stamps I have achieved this card. I coloured the Giraffe using distress inks and was very pleased with the effect.


Paper was K& Co
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Fiskars border punch



This was fun, have you tried making paper roses with a kitten who wants to help........ Lilly was sleeping but Daisy was out to get the roses at every attempt, need I say the air was blue!
A card we made with Jane Gill the other week with a few alterations to adapt it to a wedding card. I used craftwork cards paper pad in a pearlecent cream and a papermania sheet from a paper pad I bought a while back. I embossed the to in cuttlebug birds and swirls added a tag and a gold peel off.

Whiff of Joy v Sarah K

Just like buses nothing for ages then two.......not that I ever get on a bus!
Been playing with colours and Copics, I think I am beginning to learn the art of shading, thanks to all Kay Carley's tips last week.
I had seen this stamp a while back and decided I wanted it and I am really pleased with it, she really is a nice image to colour. The papers were from craft creations with a piece of embossed bazzil. Oh and I stamped and heat embossed a few snowflakes round the image the added a bit of chalk. It needs some purple stickles but would you believe it I do not have that colour, something else to add to the shopping list.
Ohhh Ouch, the colours really do not look very nice in this picture, much better in the flesh take my word for it. I need to finish this card off with some flowers and a sentiment but as the daylight is running out I thought I had better take a picture quick. Its only six o'clock and already getting dark, dont you just hate the dark evenings. Opps off I go again waffling, back to the card a sarah K stamp and I though I would try and use up some of the paper pads bought over time and put in the cupboard and forgot, I think it was from a K & Co range and a embossed birthday message.
