Inky Chicks - Anything Goes

Back again, don't think I have ever done so many posts in one day and it is now snowing!!

There is a brand new challenge blog called Inky Chicks which I totally forgot about so thought I would enter a quick card and oh wow you should see all the entries over there.

Used a gorgeous Saturated Canary image and coloured her with copics.  The paper is from First Edition and a lovely Cheery Lynn die.

Well that should be it for today.  Thank you for stopping by :)

Joanna Sheen - New Beginnings

Sunday night again, where does the weekend go and still no snow!  Not done much this weekend, had a bit of a family get together at my sisters as it was my nehpews birthday and had a nice Sunday dinner and now have been watching dancing on ice and doing a bit of blogging :)

Saw this challenge on the lovely Alison's blog and thought I would give it a go.  Not entered a Joanna Sheen one before and I have some of her lovely project books so will be keeping an eye on this blog for inspiration and may be show off a few cards.

Anyway the challenge is New Beginnings and I made this card just after Christmas for my other half's sister who had a baby girl on 19th December.
This is a LOTV image coloured with promarkers a few liquid pearls and some stickles.  Kept the card very simple using First Edition Paper called Love Letters with a bit of stitching and just a bit of ribbon.  The sentiment is also LOTV.

Hope everyone has had a fab weekend and thank you for popping by :)

My Five Favourite Christmas Cards

Well that's it Christmas over for another year and what a lovely time I have had with the family.  Hope everyone out there in blog land has also had a wonderful Christmas.

Not had chance to post much over the last few weeks, what with the patio being built, getting ready for Christmas, work, life etc blogging had to take a bit of a back seat.  I did however make quite a few Christmas cards but as yet not blogged any of them. So when I saw Debby's post to show your five favourite Christmas cards I thought here's my chance to show you at least five :)

I didn't buy any new Christmas stamps this year as I still hadn't used half the LOTV ones I brought last year, so I stamped them all up selected some pens and coloured them all in.
Some of them still haven't been made into cards and I know there are blogs out there where you can make a Christmas card a week/month, if anyone knows of one point me in the right direction, as I really want to get ahead of myself this year :)

Anyway here are my five...........................




Pop over to Debbys blog and show off your top five xmas cards, there is also some very nice candy to be won :)

This may be my final post of the year depending on what time I get, so if it is I wish you all a very lovely NEW YEAR!

Less is More - One Layer

Well I feel like I have been a bad blogger of late, but as I think I said in my last post I have been having the garden done, which has taken nearly five weeks!  My craft room is in the back garden and I had to walk across the mud to get to it so the motivation I'm afraid was just not there but as you can see in the final picture I now have a patio and life can start returning to normal.
 
I have made a few cards, which I will post another time but as I haven't played along with Less is More for a few weeks I was determined to join in this week specially as it's one layer week  ;)
This weeks one layer challenge is In a Row.  I have used an embossing folder I got free with a magazine and the sentiment is from a free Molly Blooms set, which has been embossed with WOW powder and wow am I impressed with these.  Only have silver and white at the mo but will definitely be getting more.  I was going to use gems in the centre of the snowflakes but wasnt sure if these were allowed on one layer so went with glitter instead.  The card I used is also pearly but as many of you know trying to photograph the sparkly is soooo difficult.  This was a lovely simple card to make so think I will be making a few of these :)

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend and thank you for popping by :)
