Best wishes...

Good evening all.

Hope you've had a nice day.
Well I have finally signed up to Facebook today, I always said I would never join but have noticed a lot of crafting things happening on there so thought I would take the plunge.

Im still finding my way around things on there. Theres lots to look at and work out, so any tips will be much appreciated. 

Right for  my second card today I used a gorgeous image from milkcoffee coloured with my promarkers and pencils, I also added a touch of stickles.

I've  made another easel card, I love how these stand and look.

Ive used DPs and tags from Kaisercraft and K&Co

I embellished with punched flowers, buttons, paper doily and gorgeous ribbon from my stash.

The sentiments are a mix from a couple of different stamp sets.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges

Edwin.. summer days

Good afternoon all and yes its another wet one here in the West Midlands..

Hope you are all well and dry where you are..

For todays card I have used 2 Magnolia stamps.. Edwin on his bike and the Fence..

Both are coloured with promarkers.

I cut the fence stamp out using my nesti..

This card reminds me of my eldest playing in the sunshine on his bike.. He loves nothing more than playing on his bike during the summer days.. (Lets hope we manage to see some summer days during the school hols)

I used Aloe Vera and Sea Breeze Versamagic Chalk ink to to the blue sky and start the base for the grass.. The I added a cloud (hand cut and inked with Sea Breeze) Both the cloud and Edwin have been attached with foam pads to give extra dimension.

The DP's are K and Co Hopscotch pad..

I used China Blue promarker to draw the frame round the nesti layer..

The inside is decorate to match the front as normal..

Male Theme...

Evening all... Hope you have all had a good weekend whatever you have been doing..

I would like to wish a warm welcome to my newest follower.. It means alot to me that all of you enjoy looking at my work and want to visit my blog again..

We have been to our caravan for a couple of days.. but back to the normal sunday evening stuff now, bathing the boys, ironing uniforms, catching up on laundry and last minute finishing of homework.. The joys of being a mum... Great isnt it.?? I am so looking forward to next month when the boys break up for the summer holidays. So we dont have to have so much of a routine and have to keep looking at the clock..

Anyway enough of my rambling.. Here is a card I made before the weekend.

It's a Mo Manning image (I am loving using these at the moment). I have coloured using promarkers (cinnamon, cocoa, khaki, lush green, ruby red, powder blue, pear green) The DP's are K & Co. I have added faux stitching around the edges.. The senitment is a freebie out of one of the craft magazines.

I have kept this card very plain and simple...

Good evening all..

Hope you are all well and have had a good start to the week.

The weather today has been great, really warm and sunny.. Lets hope it stays around for a while..

My card for today is using a new stamp that I received recently from Practical Publishing.

And here it is, this cute little fellow is from Crafters Companion Humherys Corner.

I have coloured him with promarkers.. I have used red/blue/green cardstock.. I punch the red and green shapes. The blue card I embossed using one of my boards.. The strippy paper is K & Co.. I used a nesti die with the red mirri board. I added some candi and a doodled border..

A plain and simple card again.. Great for a little boys card I think...
