please sir, can I have s'more?

Because I can't resist a good pun! Or a bad one! lol! And becase CASology's cue card for the week is 'EAT'

I cut the s'more on my silhouette and printed the sentiment. I used a kraft card base and because I couldn't help myself, added a few little pearls. Took more time waiting for the s'more to cut than anything else, lol!

A nice CAS card today, for the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. I used a freebie stamp I got from Quick Cards magazine, (last year? the year before? ish? lol!) and coloured it with my promarkers. Cut a red base card, matted the image on green and added twine, a button and gems to finish it off.

Delightful Sketches, It's A Kid's World!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is It's a Kid's World, (create something with a kid in mind) ! And we're sponsered by Yours or Mine Paper Crafts!

I got to play with the brilliant, Scotty Pan! And a sentiment from the Dreamy Sentiment Set!



I coloured Scotty with my Promarkers, after cutting him out with my silhouette and covered a kraft card base in paper from American Crafts Love You More, pack. Added a little twine and cut some clouds – including the sentiment and number 9, on my silhouette, mounting them and Scotty on some pads, before sticking them to the card and added a few gems to finish.

My friends little boy – although very soon not to be called so little! - is 9 in the new year and I'm sure he'll love this, as he loves all things Disney!

Merry Christmas, Owls

After a crap few days with my gallbladder and idiot surgeons who want a 'second opinion' before they decide whether to remove it - don't even get me started - I decided a few hours of crafting was in order, to try and distract myself. It only half worked, but hey-ho!

This card uses an image from Little Miss Muffet coloured with my promarkers and a bit of glitter glue. The Paper is Dovecraft from the modern back to basics range. I embossed the white card with a cuttlebug embossing file and cut the sentiment with my silhouette, adding a few little gems to finish it off.

Happy Holidays, Chester

I just love this little guy - Chester from Pollycraft/Little Miss Muffet. He's been coloured with my Promarkers and I used some glitter glue on the icing to give it a bit of sparkle.

The papers are Dovecraft's back to basics, modern. I love the bold patterns from this pack! The sentiment was cut on my cameo and backed with another little bit of paper and I finished with a few little gems.

Crafting a bit today, after two days of painting my neighbours bathroom - you wouldn't think a bathroom could take two days, but she'd had some problems with damp that made the whole process more awkward!

A quick CAS card today, with snowflakes! No snow here yet, but I'm hoping! And this weeks sketch from Retro Sketches seemed perfect for snowflakes!

The papers are dovecraft's back to basics modern pack. I cut some snowflakes on the papers, with my silhouette and stamped a couple - not sure where from - with stampin' up more mustard and memento tuxedo black. Icut the sentiment in red to match the base card and added some gems and (although it's hard to see on the image) some glitter glue to a couple of the flakes.

Delightful Sketches, You're a Gem!

Late, late, late, so late. I was helping my neighbour paint her bathroom and completely forgot about this post, this morning! oops!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is You're A Gem, Add Bling! And we're sponsered by Magnolia-licious!

I got to play with the brilliant, Wunderland Queen! And a sentiment from the Wunderland Sentiments and Accessories set!



I went all black and red for this card, with papers from the j'adore paper pack, from First Edition and colouring the image with my promarkers in mostly greys/blacks/reds. The swirls, key and potion bottle were cut on my silhouette and I added some paper flowers and of course, the required bling (such a hardship for me, lol!) to finish it off.

Pinecone Christmas

Two christmas cards and it didn't (quite) kill me!

A man's card this afternoon, there are a couple of men in my life this could work for, but I've a half mind, who it'll be for already.

I used Dovecraft paper, from the Back to Basics Modern pack. I love this paper, but this if the first time I've had to use it! The image is from The Digi Chick and I added the sentiment, coloured with my promarkers. I cut the wreath on my cameo and added a flower, with a little button brad and pearls (all of which a friend sent me for Christmas *last year*)

Light a Candle

Edit: OMG I just realised this is my 500th post on this blog! I should totally do something to celebrate... I shall have to ponder that!

Ugg, I feel so sick today. I just hope it's not the bug that's been going around, I no has time!

Still, I am in desperate need of getting some christmas cards done, so I decided I was going to do at least two today if it killed me - and it might, since it's already half past two and I've only managed one!

I used an image from Just Ink Lined, coloured with my promarkers and some glitter glue added, along with a computer generated sentiment. The papers are from the gorgeous gilded winter paper back from first edition and I distressed the edges and scrunched them up. I cut the swirls on my cameo, in more first edition paper and added lace, pearls and a couple of flowers to complete the look.

Party 'til the cows come home!

It feels like ages since I've posted anything to this blog, that isn't for a DT, but with being in rather a lot of pain (stupid gallbladder!) I've been crafting less and a few cards I've made lately couldn't go up for one reason or another!

This one is safe though, as it's recipient is unlikely to find her way here! This is for my next door neighbours granddaughter, who turns 13 in a couple of weeks. She likes cows - not entirely sure why, lol! - but since I already used her other love (horses) on the card I made from her grandmother, I decided to go with a cow on my own for her.

It's basically made entirely of scraps, with the papers coming from the last of my jillibean soup 'Homemade 6 Bean Soup' pack. The image is from Crissy's Digi's for Whimsy Stamps and I coloured it with my promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated, except the '13' which was cut on my silhouette. I added a banner also cut with my silhouette and a few gems to finish it off.

Delightful Challenges! Happy Holidays

I swear one of these days I will remember to schedule this post properly!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is Happy Holidays, a project for ANY holiday! And we're sponsered by The Cutting Cafe!

I got to play with the brilliant, Candy Cane Jingles! And a sentiment from the A Touch of Christmas, Sentiment Set!



Occasionally, I make a card I'm just really pleased with and this is one such card. I love Candy Cane Jingles, he's really adorable and super simple to colour with my promarkers and finished him with a little glitter glue on the band of his hat. The papers are Krafty Christmas from Dovecraft and I used some kraft card from my stash as well. The 'picture frame' was cut with my silhouette and I layered the sentiment under it on white card. And of course I had to add a couple of gems (it's the law! lol)

Digital Delights Challenges, Patterns!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is Patterns, (Use patterned paper)! And we're sponsered by Dies 'R Us!

I got to play with the brilliant, Up to no good, reindeer! And a sentiment from the Magical Winter Sentiments set!



I just love this image, he's a proper cheeky little chappy! I coloured him with my promarkers and decided on some papers from dovecraft, layered on red card for my 'patterns'. The star was cut on my silhouette and I finished up with a few little gems (shocking, right?)
