A load of old pickle: October 2012

They are from Clearly Besotted which is Stephs new venture using her sister Jennys stunning artwork. I have to say I am blown away by the quality of these stamps. They stamp beautifully giving a very fine outline ..OOOH I just love um!

I decided to have a go at a technique that I had seen on the CB facebook page by one of the super talented design team Debby Hughs were she had embossed the image in white before colouring. I will deffo be doing it again!

I used prisma color pencils to colour my image

I used my scoring board to make a lattice effect and added a touch of handstitching and a couple of heart pearls to finish.

I have no idea why but I have had a good cry making this card. It just so reminds me of my beloved Nan who passed away earlier this year. I cannot begin to explain how much I miss her :( She would have loved this card :)

Warm Winter Wishes

Hi all,

I was gonna say happy Monday to you all ...but actually is there such a thing? :(

My card for today is a cute LOTV xmas . I really must get a move on with the Xmas cards or I'll end up sending shop bought again..I know .... the Shame!

The papers are digi from THIS SET over at The Clipart Fairy

I did slightly alter the plain green by dotting with a prisma pencil and colours are a bit of on the picture due to my pathetic excuse of a camera. I am still trying to talk hubby into having a new one for his chrimbo pressie. I am not having much success as I think he has rumbled the reason lol

I hope you like and thanks for stopping by today

A toast to you

Morning all. Early posting for me today. Thought I might as well get on with stuff as I've been up half the night with my demented cat! She was determined to get in my bedroom around 4 o'clock this morning. At one point she was running from the other end of the landing and launching herself at the door. We have the doors with the two decorative glass panels at the top and she had managed to stick her nails into the wood just below the glass and was hanging on for dear life ....I could just see her little eyes peering through the glass whilst giving out the most pathetic cry you ever did hear..Not good for the door! but she does make me lol Anyways, enough waffle and on to my card for today.

This is Alyssa from The Digistamp Boutique..isn't she fab!

I coloured her with prismas

The papers are digital from sassydesigns

I made the sentiment myself

Xcut punched flowers and a big paper bow (template here)

A few gems and some stitching to finish

The picture isn't the greatest as once again it is rather grey here this morning and altering the brightness has bleahced it out a bit.

I hope you like and thanks for stopping by today

Quick cutie

Hi all,

Just stopping by to show you a quick cutie I made from the mulberry wood download from CC magazine

The paper is from a very old DCWV Christmas stack which I am trying to plough my way through. I am determined not to buy anymore Xmas stuff this year! ( yeah right pickle keep telling yourself that lol)

I added a bit of leftover ribbon a few pearls and voila!

Sorry about the fuzzy photo but it is extremely dark here today and my daylight lamp needs a new bulb :(

BOO!!!

I scared ya didn't I??? lol

I've got a wee frightener to show you today :)

I saw a similar idea on pinterest but unfortunately the link didn't work so I cannot give the details of where it came from. Anyway this is my take on it using some scraps of linen card and a bit of distress ink ...a couple of googly eyes and voila! I plan on making some matching boxes with sweets in for my great nieces and nephews for Halloween.
