Happy Father's Day

A quick post to say a Happy father's Day to Dads everywhere. I hope you have all had a relaxing day even if the weather is not good. Who would have believed that this time last week I was at a barbecue getting sunburnt and today I am snuggled with a duvet and the fire on.

No card today.
I have been busy updating my CV. It's a job that I hate but I know that if I don't do it then it becomes unmanageable. Nearly bone now though so should be back to card making very soon.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Here come the girls

Good Evening Everyone

Hope you all had a good weekend and saw some sunshine. It has been glorious here in Devon. Not had much time for sitting out in the garden though because its back to work tomorrow after the half term break.

Here is today's card. I made it for a friends daughter who is a proper 'girly girl' and is just turning 21. I don't think I could get anymore pink on the card.

I used an 8 x 8 card which is larger than the card size that I normally use and a digital image from Mo Manning. I coloured the image using every pink shade of copic pen that I own. The papers, ribbon and gems are from my stash. Once again I have added faux stitching around the edges of the layers of patterned paper. The birthday messages have been printed on 2 tags made with sizzix dies.

Warm weather .......at last!

Good Evening Everyone

I can't believe that we are now having some warm weather ...at last. It's so nice to look out of the windows and see blossom and to hear the lambs bleating in the fields instead of ice and slush. It's also amazing how many 'friends and family' come and stay since we moved to Devon. We love showing off our home and garden...our little bit of Paradise.

It's been a very busy few weeks for both me and Graham with work and life taking over everything. I did manage to spend a few minutes in my craft room today to make a Fathers day card.

 

I used the new stamps from LOTV - Vintage Boys and coloured the image using my copic pens. The papers and buttons were from my stash and I finished each of the layers with faux stitching.

Back in Blogland...

Good Evening everyone

I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted. I have been having lots of problems with my laptop over the last few months. It seemed to begin with me not being able to open any PDF files and from there on it just became worse and worse until finally it just died on me. I met a very nice man in our local computer shop who has worked miracles and now I am finally able to access Blogland again.

Here is my card for today:

 

This card has been made using one of the pre-stamped images available from LOTV They come in a little sketch pad and are ideal for colouring with copic pens. The good news is that the images of the Vintage Boys will soon be available as a stamp. Visit their website to find more details.

 

 

Have a good evening

Busy...busy...busy.....

Good evening everyone

What a busy weekend. Gardening, visiting Lyme Regis, Washing, Ironing and spending ages watching a  box set of 'The Event'. There just aren't enough hours in a weekend!

I did manage to make a card though.

I am not sure where this image is from (if anyone can let me know then i can give it a name) but I have coloured this poorly bear with my copics pens and then layered it on patterned papers and cards from my stash.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Simply Create Too - Animals - 11.4.13
Pink Gem - Cute - 12.4.13


enjoy the rest of your weekend
