What a hard card this was to make!! I made the mistake of colouring the image before I thought about my papers and I feel it lacks something.
I have followed the sketch on sketch-saturday challenge blog. You may notice that I like joining the challenge blogs, for me they take me outside my comfort zone that is my head and helps me to develope or at least I think so lol.

I have used the K&co christmas papers and matting papers to create this card. I have added glitter and bling here and there. I have used one of my new hanglar images aren't they the cutest sent to me by my special angel ;0)
Stamp: Hanglar & Stanglar

baby its cold outside

What a week it has been snow, wind and rain. The snow part was really nice and I will try and post about that later.
I have made a card following the sketch on friday-sketchers blog, which is by carole this week. What a fab sketch it is too.
I have used the background stamp from magnolia and glittered it all over. I added raised details to the tree and then glittered them again.
I coloured the image with my copic pens and then I put the image through my xyron to make it sticky and glittered with glamour dust.
I used another of the new magnolia Tilda stamps and coloured her to match. The papers have a pearlescent finish which is hard to show up and the blue background paper is by K&co and has glitter on too. So it is a very glittery affair but I really like the finish.

Thank you for look and I hope you like it too x

I have made this card for a lovely lady that I have met through our business. It will be her 60th not that you would ever think it she looks so young.

I have followed the sketch on a-spoon-full-of-sugar challenge blog which is michelle this week. I have also used lilac which is the challenge on cute-card-thursday.The background paper is by K&co. The paper in the panels I have had for years, I glitter one panel to add abit of bling to the card. I coloured the image with my copic pens. The flowers are by prima, I hung a heart from a spacer for the centre of one flower and on the other large flower, I used a hatpin with beads I had to add another detail.
The other embellishment is a pearl button with a brad stuck in the middle.

I have double stamped the sentiment, once in metallic lilac and once in black to create a shadowing effect.

without reflection bookmark

On the whiff-of-joy challenge blog this week the challenge is anything but a card. They would like to see bookmarks but if not as long as it is not a card it will do.

I have made this bookmark. The top photo shows how it looks when in use and this photo is of the bookmark.

I have used the WOJ book stamp and cut some bo bunny papers with my nestabilities. I have coloured the image with my copic markers.
The verse I printed from the computer onto the bo bunny paper and then cut out the layers to match the oval. I 3d glazed the writing so that it stands out and adds texture.

Rock-a-bye baby

I have made this card to join in with the high-hopes challenge blog. This week they have a sketch by Ila.

My card is based around 'first ride' dragon stamp by high hopes. Its so cute. I coloured with my copic pens. I bought these Bo bunny papers at the weekend from Kitty Krafts near Dundee, its a great shop with tons of scrapbooking and stamping stock. I have used 3 papers from the Sweetie pie smooch range to create this card.

I sanded the edge of the pink dot paper to give a white rim around it to add abit of detail. Hand stitched between the papers. I sanded the dummy so it would sit flat on the card.The sentiment is printed from my computer. I think this card is great for a new arrival but could also be used for a first birthday.

Heather Santa is coming

I have been playing for a couple of days on this project. After seeing the stunning creations by Maya I was inspired to make a match box advent calender. I bought the matchboxes and then got busy with other bits. Then while surfing I can across Rachels wonderful take on the advent calender (bought of which where inspired by Bubblyfunk) I thought it was time I made mine.So here it is my creation. I have made it for my daughter Heather who will find out when she gets back from school today. The theme for the calender has been holly and red (I think I should call my blog the red blog) I love creating with this colour.

I have used Basicgrey paper and K&co holly paper that I have glittered.

I painted the match boxes a vintage gold colour and crackle glazed the front of the drawers with fired brick by Ranger. The glass beads are from a necklace I bought at a market for 50p. Its a great way of getting some nice beads for a fraction of the price.
I have coloured Tilda with snowball and adapted her to hold Heathers name, this has been created with cutting the letters and then embossing them with gives them a very metal look. I strung them with wire to make it more interesting and Tilda holds it like a banner. I have punched a circle from card and triple embossed it before using a christmas stamp from Magnolia to emboss the image to make a charm. Its great you can still read the whole rhyme. I hope you like it, more importantly I hope Heather likes it.
