Just a Card

Hi there girls. Thank you for popping by to visit me here. I really am thrilled that you have called in. I hope you find something to your liking. I hope everything is well with you. There are so many of my regulars who are under the weather at the minute. Get well soon girls. Talking of the weather the white stuff is back and lying - not a lot but enough to let us know that winter still intends to linger a while.
Well by lunchtime today (Wednesday) my son ,John, and daughter-in-law, Sarah (Lil-paper-pixie) and their son Jonathan, will be here for 10 days. I'm really looking forward to it but I am expecting my stash to take a battering once Sarah gets into my craftroom Lol.
This card was made for the Sugar Bowl challenge that required us to use one of their old sketches but I clean forgot all about finding an old sketch and did my own so it's not being entered anywhere - a senior moment Lol. The image is Sugar Nellie's "First Dance" coloured with my Copics. I have actually paper pieced the bridal dress. I used pink Bazzil to matt and layer and make the flowers. The design paper I "First Kiss" from S.E.I. the image and flowers are stickled and glimmer misted and the embellishments are from my stash.
I hope you like this card and that you might snatch a minute to leave me a comment. I would love to know what you think of it. Your comments are so encouraging - I love reading them.
Have a great day crafting and go carefully.
Hugs,

Creative Inspirations #53 & Simon Says...

Hi girls. Thank you for popping in here today. I hope you like what you find here. That is if Blogger plays ball - I'm typing this post with three empty squares showing instead of photographs. I can only hope that in three hours time when this is posted the photographs will appear. If they don't please bear with me. Am I alone, or are we all having problems?
I made the card for two challenges. Creative Inspirations provided us a fantastic sketch and the theme over at Simon Says Stamps was "Easter or Spring with some glimmer" so I hope this qualifies. Wow one photo has just reappeared.
I inked up Magnolia's "Tilda with Tulips" and coloured her using my Copics. I cut her out and mounted her on a nestie cut from brushed silk card. I used plain pink card for matting and layering and the paper is "Hip and Luxurious Basics - Lush pink floral paper" by My Mind's Eye. The flowers are all homemade and are stickled and glimmer misted although it doesn't come out all that well on the photograph. Wow another one has popped up. The embellishments are all from my stash.
I hope you can find time to leave me a comment - assuming of course that you can see the card. I love reading your comments because they are so encouraging and helpful.

TWO AWARDS

I have been given two awards by Cheryl over at My Cardmaking Haven. Cheryl is from Sydney, Australia and for the last few months has been complaining about the extreme heat she has been suffering down under - Chance would be a fine thing I hear you say. It's been trying to snow here again over the last 24 hours. She has been a great encouragement to me and has a fantastic blog posting nearly every day so why not pop over to see her.

Thank you Cheryl for passing me these to me. I am truly flattered. Now I have to pass these on and would love to give them to

Joey at Joey's Stuff

Juls at The Glitter Chick

Lesley at Pinkles Dreams

Linnie at Linnie Pink

These ladies have been regular visitors here and I have valued their comments and visits. Their blogs are fantastic and well worth a visit.

That's it for today so do have a great time and enjoy you crafting day.

Papertake Weekly # 37

Hi girls. Great to have you here to visit my corner of blogland. I really appreciate you taking the time to call in and I hope you are rewarded with something to bring joy to your crafting day. Monday again, the start of another working week for most. I hope you had a rrestful weekend, except of course for all of you who went to the NEC - I'll bet your purse is lighter and your arms sore from carrying all those goodies you bought. I've spent the weekend drooling over the photos of the crafting gems you have been buying.
Anyway to business. I made this card for the current Papertake Weekly challenge and followed the fantastic sketch they gave. The image is Penny Black's Garden Friends coloured using my Copics. The paper is "Hip & Luxurious Basics - Lush Blue Floral" by My Mind's Eye. I have used blue pearlised card for matting and layering and put it through my Sizzix Big Shot in a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. The flowers are homemade and everything else is from my stash. I have Stickled and Glimmer Misted the image but it is not obvious on the photograph (honest it's there).
If you have time it would be great if you could leave me a comment telling me what you think of this card. I value and appreciate everything you have to say and it makes my day to hear from you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and that everything you try is a success.

Crafty Sentiments DT Card #11

Hi girls. Well so much for Spring having sprung. The weather here for the last couple of days has been cold, wet and dreich (a good Scots word) - it's dismal. However I dare say I have the luxury of being able to enter that bright joyful place know as Blogland to see all your wonderful creations. I hope you feel the same way about your visit here. It's great to have your visit.
Sunday again and time for the latest Crafty Sentiments Challenge and this is my DT card for challenge #11. It's been encouraging to see the number of entrants rising over the last couple of weeks and it would be fantastic if you could find time to enter this week. The challenge and sketch will be officially posted on the Crafty Sentiments Challenge Blog at 09:00 today so pop over, see the goodies made by the other DTs and then and get crafting.
I have used this gorgeous stamp of the girl with the bunch of flowers and coloured her using my Copics. She is available over at the Crafty Sentiments Shop along with many more fabulous images and sentiment sets. The paper is S.E.I's "Juliette - First Kiss". The ribbons and embellishments are all from my stash and the flowers are homemade.
I would love your views on this card and would be very grateful if you could time to leave me a comment. I love reading them. I hope what is left of your weekend is enjoyable and that you stay healthy. For those of you intending to visit the last day at the NEC have a cracking shopping day.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #24 & Cute Daisy May

Hi girls (I keep saying that, I suppose there is just a chance that there may be a guy out there as well) I hope all is well in your corner of Blogland. It's great to have you visit my own little space. I hope you find something here to give a little joy. I really appreciate you dropping in.
I guess that the great NEC show is well under way by now and those fortunate enough to be able to visit will be somewhat lighter in the cash department. I hope if you are able to attend you are having a great time.
I made this card to enter the current Sunday Sketch & Stamp challenge and followed the fabulous sketch they gave us. I also fits with the Cute Daisy May challenge where the theme was "Fairies". I used one of the digi images I got in Linnie's candy and coloured her with my Copics. There is glitter over her as well but it doesn't show very well in the photograph. For the papers I used both sides of S.E.I.'s Winter Song - "Crystal Arabesque". The ribbon and pearls are from my stash and the flowers are homemade by me.
I hope you like this card and would love it if you could leave a comment for me. I love your feedback and value your opinions on my work, so if you have time please leave a note.
Whatever you might have planned for today I hope you have a great time and stay in good health.

Create4Fun Wk 12 & Allsorts Wk 44 & Secret Crafters #75

Hi Girls. Thanks for calling in to my blog. I am pleased to have you here and I hope you will find something to encourage and please the eye. It's Friday again already and I hope you are all getting ready for the weekend. I suppose many of you will be at the NEC this weekend. Too far away for us up here so we can only wait to hear your stories of shopping conquests. If you are going , have a great time.
I have made this card in the hope that I can squeeze it into three challenges. Create4Fun who gave a fantastic sketch to follow, Allsorts Challenge with a theme of "Spring is in the Air" and Secret Crafters with theme of "Spring has Sprung". The stamp is "Stensilled Daffodils" by Penny Black. I used different watercolours on the varous parts of the stamp before stamping out the image. I do not have names for any of the papers and the embellishments are all from my stash. The flowers are homemade and I have turned up the petals to give extra depth to the card and

make them more springlike. They are shown in close up in the second photograph.

I would love to hear your views on this card. It would be great if you could find time to let me know what you think.
I hope you have a great day in whatever you chose to be doing. Stay healthy and safe.

Friday Sketchers #24 & Stampin for the Weekend

Hi girls. Thank you for calling in to see what's on offer today. I love having you here. I am really concerned that more than a few of my regulars are under the weather at the minute. Some of you are really going through the mill just now and I am thinking of you all. I hope your crafting and blog hopping takes your minds of things and brings a whole heap of enjoyment.
This card in being entered in two challenges. Friday Sketchers where there was yet another fantastic sketch to follow and Stampin for the Weekend where the theme was "Easter". The image is Lili of the Valley. I love this pogosticking young guy. I have used Polychromos to colour in this image. I have used dark and light green Bazzil and the papers are "Lush" by My Mind's Eye and "Love is Blue" from Graphic 45's "Baby and Bride" Collection. The flowers are homemade and I have posted a second photograph to show that I have folded up the petals to

look more like daffodils.

If by any chance you like this card (or indeed if you really don't like it) I would appreciate you leaving a comment to let me know what you think. I will welcome any contsructive comment. Thank you very much for taking the time to pop in. Have a great day and enjoy your crafting time.

Lili of the Valley #49 & Colour Create

Hi there girls. Great to have you here on my blog. I hope you find something to your liking and maybe even something that will give you some ideas or inspiration. I know I get a lot from looking at all of your blogs as I travel around blogland. I hope you are all keeping well and raring to craft.
This card is being entered into two challenges. Lili of the Valley gave a fantastic sketch to follow and Colour Create challenge asked for something in a Mint, Chocolate and Cream colour combo. The image is LOTV "Fairy on Tiptoes" coloured my Polychromos pencils. The papers are all without names but met the colour criteria and the embellishments are all from my stash with a liberal spraying of glimmer mist for effect.
If by any chance you like this card it would be much appreciated if you could find time to leave me a comment giving me your views, tips and suggestions. I get so much from them. There are so many great crafters out there and I crave your advice and opinion.
Thank you for your time. Have a successful crafting day and stay healthy and safe.

Creative Inspirations #52 & Rosie D's #67

Hello girls. It's a pleasure to have you here on my wee blog. I trust all is well with you and yours and that you are having a very creative time. The weather is picking up in this neck of the woods and with all the Spring and Easter cards beginning to appear in challenges and people's blogs it is beginning to feel as though we have left the winter well behind. What a great feeling.
This card was made to enter the Creative Inspirations challenge where there was a colour combo of "White, Yellow and Green" to produce and Rosie-D's where they wanted the same combo. I have inked up one of my Lili of the Valley stamps and coloured this cheerie character up using my Polychromos pencils and Sansador oil. The paper is called "Autumn Leaves" . The image is mounted on an oval cut out using a Nellie Smellen die. The flowers are homemade and I raised the petals as shown in the second photograph to make them look more like daffodils.

I hope you like this card enough to leave a comment for me letting me know what you think of it. I appreciate that it takes time but I do value your opinions. Thank you for having called in. I hope you have a great day.

Hugs,

Papertake Weekly & Creative Card Crew #46

Hi girls. I hope all is well with you out there in blogland today. I am delighted that you have come to visit and hope that you like what you find here. I think I have caught up with my blog visits after my day away to Carlisle on Friday. If I have failed to visit any of my regular blogs I apologise but I'll be on to you as soon as Blogger alerts me to any new posts from you.
I made this card for two challenges. Papertake Weekly who had a "Lilac and Lemon" theme and Creative Card Crew where the theme was "Going Dotty". I have inked up Lili of the Valley's "Pogo stick Rabbit" and coloured him using my Polychromos pencils. I find them better than Copics for colouring "furries". I have use a dotty yellow and plain lilac Bazzils as papers. I made the flowers nd everything else is from my stash. A faily simple layout but I hope you like it enough to want to leave a comment. I love reading what you have to say. I appreciate you taking the time and I assure you that I get a lot of help and encouragement from your comments.
I hope you all have a great day and enjoy your crafting.

Crafty Sentiments DT Card #10

Hello girls. Welcome to my blog. Hopefully you will find it to be a happy place full of things that please the eye. I really appreciate you taking the time to call. I know there are so many fantastic blogs out there in cyberspace so I am flattered that you have chosen to make this one of your ports of call.
Well it's Sunday again - the start of another week - and time for the Crafty Sentiments challenge. This week we have another great sketch with the added requirement that the card be Monochromatic. I have chosen to use the "Kissing Couple" from the Crafty Sentiments store and coloured them using my Copics. I have used different lilac shades of Bazzil card, two of which have a swiss dots pattern and lilac gingham card for mounting and layering. I used plain card for the punched corner and the homemade flowers. The sentiment is from my new Just Rite set.
We were very encouraged with the response to last week's Crafty Sentiments challenge so hopefully that will continue this week. We are a relatively new challenge blog and it would be great to see the numbers increase week on week, so why not join in the fun and have a go - it would be great to see your name in the list.
If you have a minute it would be fantastic if you left a comment on this card for me to read. I value every comment left and get great encouragement and help from them.
Do have a great crafting day and stay safe. Thanks for calling in.

Stamptacular Sunday #50 & Cute Daisy May - Anything Goes

Hi girls. Thanks for dropping by to see what there is in my blog today. I hope you find something to your taste. It's great to have you here.
Firstly a word of apology. I am afraid the 320 mile round trip to the funeral in Carlisle took up more of the day than I had anticipated yesterday and by the time we got back I was too tired and sore to visit my usual blogs to leave any comments. I will do my best to catch up over the next twenty four hours.
This card was made to enter the Stamptacular Sunday and Cute Daisy May challenges. The image is one of the Cute Daisy May images I won on Linnie's blog a couple of weeks ago. I coloured this really cute little missy using my Copics. The papers are Basic Grey's "Euphoria" and a freebie from Creative Cardmaking -"Let them eat cake" Collection. The flowers are homemade by me and I used Sakura on her hat, sashes and belt.
I enjoyed making this card earlier on in the week and I hope you like it enough to leave a comment for me. I do so love reading them.
I hope you have a great weekend and stay safe.
Hugs,

Secret Crafters #74 - Anything Goes

Hi girls. thank you for coming to visit today. I really appreciate your interest in my blog and I can only hope you enjoy your visit. I will not be around for most of the day today. I will be going to Carlisle to attend the funeral of a family friend my husband and I have known for nearly 50 years. He was a devout Christian and after a long illness his passing is a happy release.
I made today's card to send to his widow but decided to enter it into the Secret Crafters challenge since none of the family are likely to see it here. I have not shown the inside of the card because of the personal nature of the content. This card is similar to one that I did at a Stampaholics class a few weeks back. The idea and inspiration are not mine - they are Siobhan's, the owner of Stampaholics, whose creative talent never ceases to amaze me.
The stamp of the Bible is from an Inkadinkado set I bought after the class. The papers are Graphic 45 - Baby and Bride Collection -"Love is Blue" and the image is stamped on to a brushed silk paper. I have used different shades of green Bazzil for mounting and the punched border. I have used Nesties and Martha Stewart punches and a small retro flower punch. I have also used green seed pearls for embellishment.
I would love to hear your opinions on this card so if you have time to leave a comment for me it would be really greatly appreciated. I hope you have a happy and productive day.
Hugs,

Four in One

Hi again girls. Thank you for calling in to my wee blog. Hopefully your visit will be rewarded with something to please the eye and maybe even inspire you in your own crafting. Thursday again which means another fabulous class this morning at Stampaholics in Perth. I look forward to these classes so much. Can't wait to see what Siobhan has in store for us today. I learn so much at these classes. I hope whatever you have planned for today goes well.
I made this card with four challenges in mind. I followed the wonderful sketch provided for us by Friday Sketchers. I am hoping the colour scheme will allow it to comply with the "Monchromatic" requirement for the Stampin for the Weekend challenge (I hope the grey in the image does not preclude it) and I think is satisfies the "Going Green" theme of the current Cupcake Crafts challenge. I am also entering it to Simon Says Stamps ... "St Patrick's Day - a Splash of Green"
I used the Lili of the Valley stamp "Bunnies in Love" and coloured them using my Polychromos pencils. I used Bazzil to matt and layer and a design paper that that I don't know the name of - I think it might be by MME. The enbellishments are all from my stash - the flowers are not handmade, they are Prima forever flowers withsome by Magnolia.
If you can spare time to leave me a comment that would be fantastic. I love to find out what you think of this card and possibly get some tips from you for future projects.
Please have a great day and stay safe.
Hugs,

Sugar Bowl Challenge #31

Hi girls. I am really pleased to have you here to browse my crafty creations. Thanks for taking time to call by. I never cease to be amazed when I look at the stats on my blog and see that people from all over the world have been popping in. It's great to know that the miles can be shrunk so easily. If you get as much pleasure here as I get when I visit my regular pitstops I will be more than happy.
This card was made for the Sugar Bowl challenge where we had a sketch designed by Judy to follow with the added requirement to include "stars". I inked up Magnolia's "Tilda - Ice Ballet Princess" and coloured her in using my Copics. I used pink Bazzil as a base card and the design paper is SEI Juliette. The sentiment is made from my Mother's Day gift from my son and dughter-in-law (Lil-paper-pixie). They gave me the JustRite "Just a Note" set. Wey Hey - you can look forward to a lot more circular sentiments from me in future.

The challenge asked for stars so that's why I have not used any handmade flowers but I used the poinsettia nestie in the centre as a compromise between stars and flowers. I don't think it looks out of place.

The embellishments and image are liberally decorated with stickles and glitter - I hope you can see some of it on the photograph.

I hope you will have a minute to leave me a comment to let me know what you think of this card. I love reading them because I value your opinions and I find them helpful. Thank you for calling in and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Hugs,

Simon Says ... Sketch & Crafty Creations #58

Hi girls. It's great to have you here on my blog. I hope if your looking for something to please the eye you will be able to find it here. My creations are for your perusal and hopefully for your encouragement and inspiration. I would get a lot of pleasure is I thought someone benefitted from visiting me here.
It looks as though Spring is really trying hard to break through and the temperature is rising (very slowly but definately rising). I hope things are looking up where you are.
This card was made with two challenges in mind. Simon Says gave a sketch to be followed and Crafty Creations wanted us to make our own flowers. I have used a Lili of the Valley stamp " Little Girl's Swing Time" and coloured her using my Polychromos pencils. the papers are Bazzil for the mounts and two kinds of Basic Grey's "Wisteria". The embellishments are from my stash and the flowers were, as required, made by myself. I enjoyed this challenge and hope you like the resulting card. It would be great is you had the time and inclination to leave a comment for me to let me know your views on this card. I enjoy reading them and get so much help from them.
Thank you for calling in and I hope in whatever you do today so have success and stay safe.

Papertake Weekly #36

Hi girls, thanks for popping in to my blogg for a look see. I hope you find something that you like and maybe even give you a bit of inspiration. I really appreciate your visit.

Well its the start of another working week and a great weekend has passed. Been a funny weekend really. We were out on Saturday night at a joint 40th birthday bash for one of my nephews and his wife. He was 3 months old on our wedding day - I really felt old. There was a bit of a cloud though - his father had been rushed into hospital at the end of the week with a burst appendix so he wasn't there. We visited him yesterday and he is thankfully on the mend.

I made this card for the current Papertake Weekly challenge where they gave a fantastic sketch to follow. I gave me another chance to ink up Magnolia's "Happy Tilda" and I coloured her using my Copics. The papers are Kanban's "Spring Leaves - Aqua" and SEI' "Winter Song - Crystal Arabesque". I used the last of Tracy's fabulous ribbon and made the flowers by hand. Everything else is from my stash. I put some stickles on her cuffs and waistband, you may or may not be able to see them on the photograph.

I would be chuffed if you could find time to leave a comment letting me know what you think of this card. Anything you have to say will, I'm sure, be helpful. Thank you for taking time to visit and please enjoy the rest of your crafting day. Take care.

Hugs,

Crafty Sentiments DT Card #9

Well, another week gone so it's time for another Crafty Sentiments challenge and I made this card following the Sketch given and satisfied the requirement for 2 design papers. I have cheated slightly in that I took one of the Crafty Sentiments Valentine Stamps and modified it slightly. This cute girl was originally holding a heart. I have blocked out the heart and added a bunch of flowers and covered them with Sakura. Her buttons have Sakura as well. These stamps are very flexible in this way. She is coloured using my Copics. The papers are a pink Bazzil for the flowers, SEI's Juliette "Lady's Boudoir" and My Mind's Eye - Flirty "Fun Lovin"Hugs, plus a freebie. The embellishments are all from my stash and I have used Crystal Stickles on the small flowers and butterfly.

Why not pop over to the Crafty Sentiments Challenge Blog and have a go this week - we would love to have you joining in the fun. You never know you might even win a fabulous prize.

If you can spare the time it would be great if you could leave a comment to let me know what you think of this card. I love reading what you have to say and appreciate every opinion given.

Have a great day but don't forget to go over to the Crafty Sentiments Challenge Blog.

One Card - Three Challenges

Hi Girls. thank you so much for calling in to see what is on offer today. I hope you take a liking to what is here. I appreciate your time and interest. The weather continues to improve here and Spring is definately around the corner. I hope you are as fortunate where you are.
I made this card to enter into three challenges:-
Sunday Sketch and Stamp where we were given a fabulous sketch to follow,
Anyone for Anya where the theme was "Mum's the Word"
Cupcake Crafts where the theme was "Flower Power".

I inked up an old Anya I had (sorry don'y know the name of the stamp) and coloured her with my Copics. I glazed the handbag and boots with Sakura. The papers were free in a magazine and I made the flowers myself. I put in a mesh ribbon top to bottom behind Anya.
I hope you like this card enough to leave a comment. I really appreciate every comment I receive and if you have never left one for me before I will be back to visit your blog to see what you have to offer.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit and have a great day.

Allsorts Challenge #42 - Just for Men

Hi fellow bloggers. I hope you are having a great day wherever you are and whatever you are doing. I really appreciate you taking the time to pop in here and I hope you find something to your liking. The weather continues to struggle toward Spring in this neck of the woods but there is still snow on the top of the hill you see in the photograph at the top of my blog. A grim reminder of what could easily come back.

On to brighter thoughts. As I have said often on my blog I am not comfortable with "men" cards but when I saw this Allsorts Challenge with the theme "Just for Men" I thought that it was time I grasped the proverbial nettle and had a go. I have kept it very simple (no, I'm not suggesting men are simple Lol.) in the hope that less is more. I have used an Inkadinkadoo stamp that I have used before but I thought it would be suitable. I used inks from Stampin Up. The papers are from Stampin Up and I have used Bazzil to matt and Layer. The ribbon is also from Stampin Up (guess whose daughter in law is a Stampin Up demonstrator).

I hope you like this very plain card. I would love to know what you think of it. If you think it is too plain please say so. Any comments you might want to leave will be welcomed and enjoyed.

AWARD

I have been given this award by Lisa over at Stampin for Sanity. Now I got this award from Lisa Jane at Mess2Magic last week but this gives me another opportunity to pass it on to some more crafting friends.

Friday Sketchers #92

Hi girls. How are you all today - well I hope. It's fantastic to have you visiting here on my wee blog. I hope as you browse you find something that you like. The weather is picking up - the Council gardeners were out behind our back fence today clearing up between the trees to smarten the sides of the road. We are fortunate here because the Council are very active in maintaining common areas.
Anyway on to today's card. I loved the sketch over at Friday Sketchers and couldn't resist having a go at it and this is the result. The image is Lili of the Valley's "Bear with Butterflies" and is coloured with my Copics.The papers are Basic Grey's Indian Summer and one unnamed one. The embellishments are all from my stash except the pink ribbon - it was part of the yummy present Tracy gave me for my birthday. The butterflies were cut with a Martha Stewart punch. I used Sakura Glaze to highlight one or two bits and pieces.
I hope you like this card and would love it if you had time to leave a comment letting me know what you think of it. I love reading your comments - they really give encouragement and help. Whatever you have planned for today, I hope it goes well and that you enjoy yourself. Take care.

Hugs,

Lili of the Valley #48 & Charisma Cardz #9

Hi girls. Welcome to my corner of cyber space where I display the result of my crafting efforts. I hope that if you have time to have a look around you will find something to your taste.
It was 9 degreesC here today and the sun was shining. I even heard hubby say that if it stayed like this he would get started in the garden this week - we will see!!
I have never made an easel card before so when I saw this Lili of the Valley challenge I thought it was time to have a go. I am also entering it nto the Charisma Cardz challenge where they wanted "Fairies". Truth is that I have to use the LOTV stamps I bought recently. I inked up "Fairy on Tiptoes" and coloured her with my Copics. I used Brown, cream & coffee Bazzil card to layer and matt. The paper is Laundry Line's Coastal "Lucky". The flowers are handmade by me and the background and edges have been distressed with Tattered Rose by Tim Holtz. I have added Stickles and glitter although not a lot of it comes out in the photograph. I have photographed each panel separately to try to show more detail.

The facing panel:-

The visible part of the base panel:-

I enjoyed making this card and will do more easel cards. I hope you like it and that you will have enough time to leave a comment. I love reading what you have to say. It gives me encouragement. Thank you so much for calling in and do have a great day no mattter what you are doing. Stay safe.
Hugs,
