Gone Fishin.....

I picked up a new stamp set this weekend and I have a male birthday coming up.

This stamp is perfect for him!

I have coloured him using distress inks and he is looking a bit green around the gills in my photo but he doesn't really look like that. (Taking photos tonight is not proving easy with poor light and an overcast day)

I have used jute around the edge of the image for some added texture

I have tried to make it look like the sign is hanging from the jute The sketch I have used is from totally papercrafts Thanks for stopping by

Some more flower soft

I have been busy with the flower soft lately. I have made up a few of the 3D pictures now I'm slowly putting them onto cards. My mum came down for a surprise visit and needed a birthday card so I have whipped this one up for her.

I have added some lilac pearls down the side as it looked empty when I thought I'd finished

The image is from flower soft. I added the flower soft to the sections of the garden you can see from the window not through the window

I have used the sketch from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #98

Simon Says.....Domis sketch

I have found some mojo and started getting back into making some cards......finally.....

This time I have pulled out some 3D flower soft images I found when I moved everything around.

Whilst I don't have all the colours of flower soft I have adapted where needed and I think it has come up pretty well.

I have used papers from the basic grey kioshi paper pad and the cappella paper pad

Roses are from Enthaily and pearls from my stash

Birthday Time

I have many birthdays coming up and here is the first one I have managed to complete. I have used my new Magnolia Wheelbarrow with Tulips. I have coloured the image with distress inks

The grass was coloured with smooch and some smooch detail added to the tulips The Cardstock I have used is from Prima Jack and Jill paper pad

I have layered the image for a 3D look

Its a Birthday

I managed to get 2 out in one day which is very rare.

Not much crafting has been happening since getting pregnant.

Not only that moving my craft room back into 1 cupboard and back to the dining table has not been much fun. Not enough room in the old farm house for a craft room and a nursery.

Anyway enough about that and onto the card I have made

For this card I have used my Forever Friends For you paper pad.

Inside there is a cute bear that I have cut out and then cut out his head and belly to add some dimension.

I have used my lily of the valley sentiments and flowers from my stash with button centres.

I have tried to use Bizzy becs March colour challenge, chocolate, raspberry, mint and vanilla.

The layout is from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #95

Diamonds are a girls best friend

Well I have struggled with finding my mojo of late but I have found enough just to get some necessary cards made.

This one is quite simple but effective.

I have used Five kids and a dog laser cut heart and embossed it with silver.

The card is from Kaisercrafts After Five Collection

Added some bling, and I found the metal lettering in my stash (its amazing what you find when you have to move your whole craft room)

I'm entering this one in One Stop Craft Challenge

The First Card for 2011

Can you believe it has taken me this long to get started for 2011.

Well I have been a little pre-occupied of late.

And this is why.....

This is me at 18.5weeks.

Anyway enough excuses as to why my mojo went missing, I have finally made my first card for the year.

I had to wait to upload this one as it was a surprise for some wonderful friends.

I can't take all the credit for the card either I used components of a design I saw in the Kaszazz project book which was created by Kathleen Rothery.

I have made this a tri fold card (we needed the extra space for writing)

I have added some jute around the edge of the white for that rustic look

I have finally used my Twiddleybitz gum leaves and coloured them up with Olive chalk ink.

The flowers are punched out flowers and then you fringe the petals and crush them to get the desired look.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my post
