Anniversary card

I've made two cards the blue one is for my Husband for our Wedding Anniversary on the 11th. They are made with Paper Artsy HP1006 and HPXT02 . I have used distress Inks on both of them. On the blue I sponged them on and the other I brayered them on. I used Scattered straw, Stormy sky, Shrushed Olive and Rusty Hinge. Versamark and Kaleidoscope embossing powder.

I have had a lovely weekend the weather as been nice and I spent yesterday taking Maddison my little grandaughter  to her first time at the baths. She was brill. like a duck to water. We then had a picnic in the park and played on the swings and the slide. Today I have crafted all day.

A Christmas Romance and bird on a spring.

Hi everyone thanks for visiting my blog I really appreciate your lovely comments. I hope you have had some nice weather today. We had some sunshine for a change. Not that I saw much of it. Stuck in work allday stock taking. Doing the same again tomorrow. My boss as decided he wants it taking twice. (Groan) as if once isn't enough).

At least I have had some time to finish off my cards I made last night. The first is a picture I printed off last year and never used . I have made a quick romantic christmas card. The other one I stamped the little girl and coloured her in with promarkers, glitter and liquid appplique. I also added the bird on a spring for a bit of fun.

2 for the box

Hi everyone hope you all are having a nice long weekend inspite of the aweful cold weather. I had a nice day yesterday my friend and I went along to a crafty demostration by Kay from Paper Artsy  who did some lovely demos using some new paper inks in a jar. Sorry can't remember what they were called as I didn't buy any. They will be on there site. She used lots of lovely new stamps.  I have nothing to show you using them yet. I have two Christmas cards for the box to show you. I used a block stamp and some christmas papers from last year.

Inspired by Kath.

Hi folks I've have just been visiting Kaths Blog and that is who inspired me to make this card. If you have never seen it go and take a visit you won't be dissapointed she makes the most fantastic cards.  I have used a Graphicus stamp that I love and Broken China Distress Ink and Versamagic Sahara sands. Also gems and ribbons and Paper from my stash. Sorry the ribbon is on straight it just looks wonky on the rubbish photo.

Brayering

Having a lovely lazy day, apart from shopping I've been playing.  Watched a video on brayering on Scenes by Sandy on my side bar. Thought I would try the same card but in different colours and stamps. So here it is. It's only about the 3rd time I've brayered so am quite pleased with it. Would add some more rust tone if I repeated it.   Hubby making tea so I can put my feet up for a bit and pick my knitting up. I'm ignoring the nasty pile of ironing in the corner.

Monochrome card

Hi everyone having a really lazy morning  still not dressed. This is something I never ever do. I wasn't feeling very well yesterday so thought I'd treat myself to a rest for once. 

I have made a monochrome card something I very rarely do. I love this Penny Black stamp. It's another sidestepper card which is so easy to do on my Hougie board. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
