It's Holiday Time

Good morning all!

I'm back with a card I made for La Pashe

This was made using the Watercolour wishes set.

I placed some acetate over the aperture in the card  then covered with

 one of the design papers. I stuck the background sheet to the inside of the card then 

a added the layers to the front.  The sentiment is popped up on some foam pads

to add some dimension & the small plane is from the elements sheet.

Here's the inside of the card!

A fairly quick & simple little card to make but very effective!

Thanks for popping in today!

It Must Be Love Love Love

Good morning all!

It's Thursday already. I'm getting excited as it's almost time for my annual 

week off to take in all the sights sounds smells & all the action of the 

Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

It's also time for me to post a card for Just Inklined lol

Here's what I made this week!

The image I've used is Wedding Carriage, one of my fav wedding images.

I've used it on a variety of wedding cards, all different styles

I always wonder where the happy couple are off to on Honeymoon!

I coloured the image a little with some Promarkers & Flexmarkers.

The die cut & distress inked while still in the die!

I distressed the edges with a pair of serrated scissors.

 I've used Paisley Patterened papers from American Crafts

& added a strip of lace from my stash.

I also tied a bow with the lace & sewed on a pearly green button.

The button is just gorgeous in real life, but it hasn't shown up so well in my photo!

The gorgeous, love words, were cut using a Memory Box Die.

I also cut a little border with a Spellbinders die!

Thanks for popping in to visit, I'll try to visit you as soon as I can!

Good morning all! Did you think I was lost? lol

It's Thursday & it's time for a card using a 

Just Inklined image!

Here it is!

This is Spinning Sid! 

I've used him to create a CAS card for a  senior Cyclist or Spinner!

 Here's a closer look at the image!

I just love creating cards with Kraft & muted colouring!

I've coloured Sid with flexmarkers, you can't see all the shading in the 

photo, as it is light but I'm happy that I achieved the look I was aiming for!

I inked the image with Old Paper Distress Ink, whilst still in the die then added 

some die cut cogs & a sprocket as well as a computer generated sentiment.

Here's a little side view just to finish up!

Good morning  blogland!

Are we all enjoying the heatwave or is it a bit much?

I'm loving it except when I have to be in work!

It's too too hot in there! lol

Anyhoo! Here is the card I have to share with you today!

I've made a birthday card for a girl/ woman using

"Riding Along"  decoupage sheet from La Pashe it is

also on the new La Pashe Something For Everyone CD-Rom

I have to say it makes me want to sing The Pushbike Song (by the mixtures)!

Here's a closer look at the image, I cut it out & used foam pads to layer.

I've kept the layout fairly simple as I tend to do!

The design paper & the sentiment are from the CD too!

I should have added some flowers in her basket!

I added a die cut fence some butterflies & a little row of roses.

A sheer ribbon triple bow to finish off!

You can see the dimension better from this angle.

If you haven't seen the CD, pop over to La Pashe & check it out!

There really is Something For Everybody!

Good morning Lovely blog peeps!

It's Saturday! Yay! I've been flat out busy these past few days!

Why does everything always happen at once???

Anyhoo! On to my card!

Today's creations was made using Senior Cyclist from The Wrinklies CD Rom,

He is also available as Die Cut Decoupage or Decoupage Plus.

Either way, he's a great image for a cyclist or any man of a certain age!

The Design Papers, sentimet & image are all on the CD rom.

I simply printed on to Print Perfect, cut out & stuck together.

The card base is a 6"x6" square the cardstock was from Lidl

& the plain papers are from Southfield Stationers.

I used pinflair glue to layer up the image & foam tape to add the sentiment.

One For The Guys

Good morning lovely blog readers!

Here is my little creation for the new challenge over at

Crafting For All Seasons where the theme is

"One For The Guys"

I made a little rocker card for Fathers Day!

For those who are not aware, it's Fathers Day in the UK on Sunday 16th June!

I used Kraft CS for the base card & the scalloped mat.

The image I have used is from our sponsor 

Bugaboo Stamps.  Who are offering a fab prize of 7 digis to

one lucky winner! The image is called Gus Birthday - Optional

There is a fab sentiment which comes with it which although intended 

for a birthday, might also work well for other occasions too!

The image has been printed onto ivory cardstock from Southfield Stationers

then coloured with promarkers, cut out with a circle nestie then

inked with a liquid chalk inkpad.

I tried to pick out some of the colours in thedesign paper!

I also added some glossy accents to his glasses & the headlights.

The papers I have used are K&Co, Hopscotch Boy.

It's actually two sides of the same sheet.

I thought the transport images would work well with the image!

I made a little rosette which can be removed & worn if desired!

The tape I've used was in my stash, not sure where it came from

but I'm guessing it's recycled from packaging!

A little side view to finish up!

I'm putting this card forward for the following challenges:

Born To Be Wild Again!

Good Morning all!

I just had to do it!

Here's my Just Inklined card for this week!

I made an easel card in Pink!

The image I've used is

Born To Be Wild

Perfect for any biker in your llife, not just the guys!

I reckon, it looks as good in pink as it does in any other colour!

Coloured with my Flexmarkers & Promarkers, the edgeswere distressed with 

Spun Sugar!I added some die cut cogs which I distressed too!

The papers are American Crafts, The sentiment which I used as the stop 

was distressed with ink then matted onto a pink label die cut.

The beaded ribbon & twine are from Lidl,  it's meant for gift wrapping 

but is perfect for crafting too. I cut some of the sheer ribbon & the ginham 

ribbon & tied it round to stop the beads slipping & give a little added dimension.

Happy Camper

Good morning lovley peeps!

Today's card is made using a Just Inklined Image.

Camper is one of the fab images exclusive to the

The Best Of Just Inklined 2012 CD-Rom

I just love those wacky wheels!

The layout I have used is this weeks sketch at

Just Us Girls

This card is for a friend that I work with!

She's not a fancy & frilly kind of a gal so I decided

to use the camper digi & colour it in the colours of her own camper van!
We have lots of fun going out & about in it, in the summer months!

Not really the kind of colours I normally use but they suit her perfectly!

The image was coloured with Promarkers

The border is Marth Stewart Doily punch.

Ribbon, buttons & paper (possibly Do Crafts) from my stash!

The sentiment was done on my pc using a free font called

ActionIs It put me in mind of Scooby Doo & The Love Machine!

Thanks for dropping in! I hope you like it!
