Miss Personality

Hi all 

Ok so I know I said I would blog a card a day until I have caught up with all the cards I made before I was ill BUT I just couldnt wait to show you this next card. I bought this little digi more or less as soon as it was released and it has been sat printed off on my shelf for ages. I decided to colour it up and finally do something with her. I love this and have just the cheeky little girl in mind who has a birthday coming up soon!

Happy Birthday Louise

Hi everyone, 

After a weeks rest from all things crafty I am looking forward to a good night catching up on some blogging. I won't post them all tonight though I am going to try and crack this scheduling lark and try and bring you a card a day for a little while. Although I have done no crafting due to being ill for the last week or so I have got quite a few cards to show you that were made previously but which I couldnt show off until I had given them out! 

First up is one I made for my next door neighbours daughter. Louise was only about 4 when they moved in next door - I am feeling old now she has just turned 21!! Congratulations Louise we hope you had a fantastic day! 


Papers -NitWit Collections - Joyful Hearts (yep - Christmas paper pack!)
Ribbon & Lace - Primrose Crafts
Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts & random stash

I used Copics to colour the image but unfortunately I didnt save the colours I used Sorry! 
I do know the skin was E33, E11, E21, E00 and the hair is RV99, R59, R56
 

I also used my new addition to my pen collection - Copic Spica Glitter pens. They are lush! I haven't had much chance to play with them yet but so far I am loving them. 


The bow is made with the Embellishment Attic bow maker using some very thin wire edged organza ribbon from Primrose Crafts. LUSH! 

Flowers! I love flowers on cards.  

I will be back tomorrow with another post

Pixie Corner

Hi everyone, 

A quick post today as it is nearly midnight and I will turn into a pumpkin any minute now if I don't get to bed soon! 

Today has been a full day spent at the craft desk. I have tried my hand at sewing today - not my usual fake stitching but actual proper needle and thread (I tried a machine - hahaha it didn't end well) and although this card has taking me longer to make then any other card I have ever done I think it might just might by my favourite card I have ever done too!

It's a BOY!

Hi everyone,  

Ok so why is this post titled It's a BOY! when its not a new baby card? Well, when Krista released this image over at Saturated Canary as part of the New Year 2015 bundle this was the first image I printed and couldnt wait to get 'her' printed up. I had bought my daughter some Dr Dre's Beats for Christmas so saw this image and I thought its perfect for her. Coloured it in - all pinks and lemons and girly. Showed it to my daughter who said 'Erm mum isn't that meant to be a boy?!'  I have no idea what made me think it was a girl. As soon as she said it I thought DOH of course it is lol! So here is my new BOY version of this amazing digi. Maybe soon I will be brave enough to show you my tomboy version too! 


All shapes cut on the Silhouette Cameo


I used Copics to colour the image:
SKIN: E33, E11, E21, E00
HAIR: T9, T7, T5, T3
JEANS:  B97, B95, B93
SHIRT: YR21, Y21, Y20
TIE: R24, R22



I am going to use this as my 3rd and final entry into the Saturated Canary guest DT call.
