Papers- 12x12 Random mixed papers box.
Flower- Cherry blossom purple.
Divine twine purple.

Morning peeps!!!

I have a super fun and zingy card to share this morning and its a good job too because my little blog has been a bit quiet this week with half term fun with little Mo to be had!!! but I did take me some fun time to colour up this little cutie.

I am still very much in cute little chicks and animals mood! I can't help it! I just love spring!! all those new beginnings and fabulous colours just need to be brought in to my cardmaking!!

Here's a little 'done with the flash shot' so you can see the actual blingyness on Chloe's hair. I coloured her up all to do with nature, so she has woodsie colour scheme!!



Right, I must dash! we have the rest of our new windows coming today so I need to clear windowsills and sideboards!!!

Baby feets.....awww!!


Hi everyone!! 

I'm back with another make for Funky Daze month using the Funky Daze original CD ROM. This CD is actually one of my first ever buys from Funky Hand all those years ago! I am so proud to of been on the Funky Hand design team for a number of years now, Anice's papers just rock.

I used my trusty silhouette to cut out the teeny feet for the card in the scraps of paper from my make I shared on yesterday. Then I embossed them with my embossing tool and foam mat and glued them on with my hot glue gun so they keep their dimension!!! too cute!! I love that blue and brown colour combo (... and its always really handy that all the papers in each colourway match up for use as it stops my brain hurting!! lol!!) a few white gel pen dots on the Baby word and a bit of ink around the edges and it was done!!

So, whats on the CD you ask?? From the cool blues and greens of Monday Morning to the vibrant pink and black of Saturday shopping you are sure to find a collection of backing papers that will be perfect for your next craft project, papers and wordbooks all ready for you to print and go!!!

Satin and blender pen.

I'm back!! 

Its time for a new challenge over on the Passion for Promarkers challenge blog, which has been set by our gorgeous Julie from Team 1 and she has chosen...

blue skies.  

For this challenge Julie would like you to use shades of blue on your projects.  We will of course accept skin and hair colours and very slight touches of other colours i.e. grass but the predominant colours must be blues.  Don’t forget you can make anything you want, it doesn’t have to be a card, all creations are welcome.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.
Our generous sponsor this week is Little Claire Designs and they are offering one lucky winner a beautiful stamp set called ‘Changing Birdhouse’.

I made a bodge with this one at first and used too much colour in my DT make so last night a little emergency card had to be made...but lets be honest..its never bad to need to have a lil crafty time! he he!! and oh boy did my little sailor boy turn out cute.

To crop off his feet I simply taped my little die cut circle over where he was going to print out adding an extra strip of my magic selotape over the part where his little legs would be, the printer ink goes onto the seloptape and when you peel it off, there's your image cropped! easy peesy and ooooh so cute for this little circle!! my magic tape is low tack so peels off the image piece right away when you take it out of the printer, the reason this piece below has some white paper stuck on it is because I took off my image piece and left this bit of tape on the scrap piece overnight!!)




A little bit of colour, some whispy dotty clouds and wohoooo! I saved my butt just in time!! he he he!!

Right, thats me for today I promise!!

Tiddly inks challenge 154...Anything goes with a Tiddly Inks image/stamp....


Morning peeps!!

Its Tiddly Tuesday again and that means its time for a fun new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and this week the Tiddly Inkers decided its time for some fun and free reign with Christy's gorgeous images and stamps soooooo....the next challenge is...

Anything Goes!

Grab your favourite Tiddly Inks stamp or digital image and think along the lines of..

Images/stamps with sweet treats in, chocolate/cakes/sweets/baking, 
sweet themed papers/ embellies!

(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 
but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image to be eligible for the prize**)

I think this stamp set is one of my most used tiddlies, there is just something so magic about how happy it makes me feel colouring it in! and I just had the best time making her a happy little card base with the gorgeous papers I chose from Doodlebug Designs, they are just adorable and i so need to order me another pad before they disappear!! I think I have used this pad 4 times this week already!!

Right, I am off to make Mo some pancakes for breakfast, I make them from a banana and an egg! so cool!! they go all fluffy and delicious! and I just add some fresh fruit by the side of them. Last night I dipped some strawberries in chocolate so he gets an extra easter holiday treat on the plate! he he! I so love the holidays!

I'll be back in a little while with my Passion for promarkers DT card!
