The Sugar Bowl Challenge.......

2012-01-13T11:21:00.002Z

Hi guys... woohoo the weekend already.....although it's seems ages since christmas, were about to start the third week of the year....!!!!!

....anyway one of my new crafty resolutions is to try and enter more challenges and do more things I want to do and try some new techniques..... ooh and try and nail the male card thing....ha ha. This is assuming I'm not doing homework and cleaning looking after the kids and all the other general Mum stuff that has to be done... how on earth do we find time to craft...... ooops waffling over.

The SugarBowl challenge sketch + birthday theme

again out came my trusty promarkers and Tilda paper stack... I do love those 12x12 stacks...

This cute little bear is Arthur available from Funkykits...

also over at Sugar Nellie they have a fab blog hop going on with some super gorgeous new stamps....mmmm yum so if your in need of a sugar fix.....you know what to do!!

well I'm off to link this up and have a hop around

Have a fab weekend and thanks for stopping by

feeling a little Hedgie.......

2012-01-10T14:20:00.001Z

Afternoon crafty peeps.....just popping in to share my little Hedgie....I have had to make a start on some of the male cards I have to do..... even after years amd years of crafting I still struggle with male cards....

This stamp came free off the Papercrafts Inspirations magazine this month...

this took me ages to do..... still not sure if it's the right colours for the country companions style..... but I've looked at it for that long now I keep changing my mind......

Top Tip Tuesday - anything goes

Top Tip - save your markers that are running out out to add subtle shading and highlights to animals, fur, hair and backgrounds without over doing it.

Anything Goes - anything goes

well that's it for the moments folks....thank you so much for all the comments I have been recieving..... mwah!

Magnolia Kraft......

2012-01-09T10:46:00.000Z

CAS......or too clean and simple, I am really not used to doing simple cards, I always think should I just add.......but this time I resisted,... and I used my Koh-i-nor pencils for a change, not sure it's exactly what I had in my head but I gave it a try.....

I've had this stamp for a while , she hasn't seen much ink so I thought I would give her a go on kraft card.....

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Magnolia + kraft

Dream Valley Challenge - anything goes

Cupcake crafts - something new ( a new style of card for me)

thank you hunnies for stopping by

Happy crafting

Shabby chic.......

2012-01-08T22:47:00.002Z

Yoo hoo.....I've been having another play around with different things.... I love the shape of these cards but I never know how to use them, it never quite seems to work yet everyone else makes some stunning cards with them......

This is one of my fave Magnolia stamps to use.....

A few challenges-

Magnolia Down Under - anything goes

Magnolialicious Highlites - anything goes

Just Magnolia - anything goes

TOMIC - blue white glitter + sketch

Deep Ocean challenge - lots of white

Truly scumptious - shabby pastels + paint

Hope you have all had a crafty weekend I'm off for a little hop around blogland now to see what you have been up to...

January blues

2012-01-08T00:10:00.000Z

Hi everyone.....well it's just turned midnight here in the uk.... so I thought I would post this while the football is on...

I have no idea why I coloured this little cutie in blue, it just happened, I find this colour difficult to use along with yellow......but I am quite pleased with it..... and I did tell myself that I was going to try out some of the 'stuff' that I've had in my head for ages.... whether it wotks or not!

this is one of the gorgeously sweet images from Sugar Nellie........

I have used my promarkers again, and some more of my old papers.

I also managed to fit this into a challenge at

Hi there everyone.... wow how long as this week been, thought I'd better try and do some more cards and colouring before I forget how to....lol.

I have quite a few birthdays coming up, so I better get started before the kids start fetching home mountains of homework again!!

I bought this stamp from the craft show at Doncaster race course last year and this is the first time I have manged to get it inked up ( tut tut) in fact I got quite a few Lili of the Valley stamps there.... well it would be rude not to now ..wouldn't it....ha ha

again I have used my trusty promarkers and I'm trying to use up some of the thousands of sheets of paper I have accumulated from over the years.....rolls eyes

so glad you stopped by today :0)

Catch you again later
