Anything Goes

Staying with the Christmas cards, today I created another one! I bought this stamp a few years back in a sale and have never used it. I love it. It is so versatile and I think this will be one of my favs for this year.

I’m entering this card into the following challenges:

The Holly and Ivy Challenge- Anything Goes

Incy Wincy Designs - Anything Goes

Bye for now.

Another Christmas Card!

I’m here again, however I’m not doing too well with the gel plate at the moment but I’m not going to give up. I need more ink pads and less interruptions from people calling out my name every ten minutes as it ruins the creative flow! Oh to be on my own just for a couple of hours.

I’ve created the following card using the gel plate to create the back ground and I’ve not used the traditional colours for Christmas (due to waiting for some new ink pads). The tree and deer stamp came free from a magazine (a long time ago) and the foliage is from Lavinia.

How pleased was I when the following challenge popped up on my blog. I was a DT many moons ago, so I’m delighted to enter this card into C.R.A.F.T. challenge - Christmas.

Bye for now.

Two Postings in One Day!

Well this is unheard of........another posting in the same day. I know it might be a bit much, but I thought strike while the iron is hot, or rather carry on crafting whilst I have all my inks, stamps and glitter everywhere. It means I only have to clear up once and who knows what tomorrow brings. It’s how we roll here!

I’m already thinking about making lots of Christmas cards this year and here is the first.

I’m entering this card into the following challenges:
Fab ‘n’ Funky - Christmas
House Mouse - Anything Goes extra add a tag.

Passion for Promarkers Challenge

I was amazed when I got out my Promarkers, which I haven’t used in an age, how good they still worked. I’ve had them for years.

Since I discovered Lavinia stamps and the Gel Plate, it’s inspired me to take up card making again. I’ve revisited all my old stamps, some have been shoved in old carrier bags, but I’ve lovingly pulled them back out and wondered how I could have done such a thing. They all have a new lease of life now.

This was and still is one of my favourite stamps. It’s from Stamps Happen and is called Falling Softly. I’ve used Promarkers to colour the image and Tim Holtz Distress Ink pad  faded Jeans to shade the edges and just a touch of Sunshine from an old Whispers ink pad, which must be 15years old.

I’m entering this card into the Passion for Promarkers challenge child/children image.

Bye for now.

My First Challenge

This year I’ve decided to enter some challenges like I did some years ago. I’ve missed doing this and to be honest forgotten how to do it but here it goes.

I’m entering the following card into the Penny Black challenge ‘Make it Feminine’. I forgotten how to use the links but I’ll give it a try.

This stamp I’ve had for quite a few years and it’s called ‘Burst of Stars’. The background I’ve stamped it onto was created by myself with Brusho’s, and new discovery to me and love to play with.

Bye for now

Long time, No see

Not been around much here, although I have been extremely busy making paper goodies.
Here’s a select of what I’ve been up too. Love being retired!

Bye for now
