Miss You

Gosh I go AWOL for days then appear twice in one day........and BRRRRRRRR its cold outside too :(

Graham has been busy tidying up the garden and Lynne has been baking muffins all afternoon so I thought I may as well make the most of MY free time.

This wee card is once again using Rosie from Funky Kits (love her to bits I do)..........

I used my Flexmarkers for this one along with normal PMs for her hair.

The DPs are I think My Minds Eye and I used my fab Prisma Chisel Tip pens to add stitching all around my patchwork.  Flowers, gems and ribbon from stash once again.

Challenges:~
The Sugar Bowl Patchwork theme and sketch to follow and
Totally Papercrafts Stitch It.

Thinking of You

Hello my friends,

First of all can I thank you all for your kind words - I am feeling like I have a bad cold coming on but it just won't surface properly - think if it did I would feel a lot better in myself too.  I do feel a bit more positive today so that's good.

My card for today is made using a gorgeous image I received in a RAK some time ago. I have used my Prisma Pencils (getting the hang of them now I think) - THANK YOU to Graham for getting me the full set for my recent Birthday!

The card has been made for a very special lady who is going into hospital on Tuesday for a Mastectomy so we are keeping everything crossed for her and hoping she has a speedy recovery.

I LOVE the effect you can get with the Prismas of light and shade so easily so if you not tried them you must get a small set as I am aware that we all like different  colouring mediums!  It is thanks to Kerry (Pickle) and Kathleen (A Perfect Creation) that I have ended up with them.

I have used DPs from Funky Hand, ribbons and gems from my stash and the sentiment is from a set of gorgeous Clear Magic Stamps from Woodware I bought when we were in Brecon.

Thanks so much fro dropping in today.

The Beauty You Bring to the World

I am still not being a very good blogger friend to many - just feeling a bit 'off' at the moment. Lots of personal things going on that are accumulating and making me feel a bit low at times.

My card for today I made using the gorgeous Rosie from Sugar Nellie available from Funky Kits.
First I want to share this flower with you - made it using a really cheap lace I found somewhere or other and all I did was cut a circle of card, add some DST then wound the lace around in a spiral to form the flower, added a gem and hey presto.

 Then thought I would tease you with a close up of Rosie - she is such fun to colour - used my Flexmarkers here and they worked a treat.

The scalloped card I got from our local The Range - love the look of them but hard to locate here in Enfield. The DP is a freebie from Milton pad; matted onto grey cardstock; gingham is from Pink Petticoat (loving ALL Liz's papers); Gems are from my stash and the sentiments says.......

thank you for the beauty you bring to the world

...and here is my finished card.

Star of Wonder

Hello my blogging friends,

Not been around much last few days so apologies right now!

I have started making my Christmas cards - have done Lynne's first out of the way using a gorgeous clear stamp called Star of Wonder  I won in a blog giveaway from Little Claire's Designs.

I used lavender dotty paper from Pink Petticoat and a freebie sentiment stamp with some layering on purple textured card and hey presto a set of gorgeous cards :~

Aren't they just adorable?  I wanted to keep the design simple to show the full image to its best and I think I have achieved that here....I coloured the image with my Prisma pencils and PMs.

I am not a lover of the commercial side of Christmas and I tend to keep things simple so do come back to see more simple cards from me over the next few days.

I am entering this into the following challenges:~

Little Claire's Monthly Challenge No 14 Christmas (how could I NOT enter this one?);
Bows and Berries Anything Goes;
Charisma Cardz Anything Goes;
Pollycraft No 117 Anything Goes and

Many thanks for visiting my friends.
