A long post!

I made a wedding wordbook for my best friends who got married in july - of course they were meant to get it sooner, but you know what I'm like! I did have it finished a while ago, but only delivered it the other night so I can blog it now!

The papers I used are from the Basic Grey Wisteria pad, and they matched beautifully with the theme of the wedding. I also used elements from their wedding invitations (which I also made) including the card (the mat for the photos) and the swarovski crystals (if you remember I was sticking hundreds of them!)

And as you can see, it was a beautiful wedding - stunning in every way! I was running around like an eejit all day snapping pictures of everything I seen!

I was delighted with the end result as it was my first ever word book. I love the fact that I can do something special like this for the people I care about.
They're a lot of work though, so not sure when my next one will be!! lol!

Stamp with fun

I was asked to make a wedding anniversary card this week and for some reason I hate making anniversary cards! It's almost as bad as male cards to me! Must be because there's a man involved!!

So, I liked the sketch over at Stamp with fun so decided to go with it.

Here's my card

I flipped the sketch as I thought it worked better with my image.

Papers are Basic Grey "Sugared". The stamp is a digi stamp from Charmed cards and crafts and I coloured her with my propmarkers.

I coloured her wings at the base and tips with a light pink pm and then blended the colour out and then went over the whole wing with a clear stardust pen - I love those pens!

I didn't take a picture of the inside as it was quite plain.

A card for fun

This is the first card I've been able to make just for fun in ages!

For this one I followed the sketch on Friday Sketchers

This is my card

I love this scrummy Miss Anya stamp and she was the first image I coloured the day my brand new promarkers arrived!

Her skin looks like I didn't colour it at all, but it is just quite light.

The butterfly is from my local craft supplier and I think it's actually meant to be a christmas decoration as I had to remove a clip from the bottom. I bought loads of them so expect to see them again!!

The papers are Basic Grey from the Scarlet's letter pad.

This is the inside

Feeling under the weather.

This is another one I made a while ago. I made it for my granny who was in hospital at the time and was quite ill - thankfully she's home now and back to her normal self!

I used my yummy Magnolia stamp and coloured her with my promarkers

Papers are Basic Grey Wisteria. The sentiment was computer generated and the ribbon and charm are from my stash.

Here's the inside

Ahoy there!

This is a card I made a while ago. I was asked to make a card for a boys 5th birthday so I tought I'd use my Pirate stamps from Sugar Nellie.

I coloured him with my promarkers and hughlighted the buckles etc with a gold Sakura metallic pen. I mounted him on a nestie circle with inverted scallops - I thought it looked a bit like a wheel on a ship.

I was able to use some papers that I've had for ages with maps on them so I destressed the edges and rolled them up to look like proper Pirate maps! I also made the sentiment on my computer and rolled it up to match the map.

Missed challenge no. 2!

Here's another challenge that I missed - last weeks Crafts 4 Eternity sketch (again!!). I'm a bit useless really aren't I!

The card was for my sister and her husband for their 3rd wedding anniversary - and to be fair to myself, I was just in the middle of a really horrible flu which I'm just getting over now.

Here's the card

I used one of my Sharing Sherbet stamps from Pollycraft and coloured her with my promarkers.

The papers are Laundry Line from My minds Eye. The Sentiment was cut using my tab punch form Stampin' Up! and I also used one of the tab stamps too.

I didn't get a picture of the inside but it was fairly boring anyway!

Sketch and Stash

I loved the sketch this fornight on Sketch and stash

So I thought I'd use it for a forum friends birthday card - and a big birthday it was too!!

Here's my card

My new stash is the gorgeous Miss Anya stamp and the blingy "50". My old stash is the Basic Grey Porcelain paper.

I coloured Miss Anya with my promarkers

And I made the flower with various punches and nesties.

Here's the inside
