Happy Valentine's Day

Hello again everyone!

You all feeling in a romantic mood today?? No me neither haha - but I did make the effort to at least make a card. Always quite hard to do a Valentines card for a male I think but I found this cute image from Wee Stamps and thought it would be ideal!

Please ignore the really un-straight line at the bottom base layer - did that a bit wrong didn't I!! Good Job it's only staying in this house haha!

Hope Brent likes it!!

Bye for now

Hello Everyone

How are you all?? Can you believe its almost the end of January already - that month has flown past! The nights are starting to get a little bit lighter, roll on Spring and Summer!

I had the day off last Monday as my nice new cooker was being fitted, so had the perfect opportunity to do some colouring - the first time since before Christmas! Managed to get four images done in total and this one is the first. The cute little fairy is called Iris from Wee Stamps, which just happens to be the name of my work colleague who's birthday it is next month - perfect!! Here she is:-

What do you think - cute isn't she! I gave her lovely sparkling wings by using Glossy Accents, letting it dry and then adding some Stickles.

I hope Iris likes her when I give this to her in a couple of weeks time, and how fab it was to get back into Crafty Corner. Watch this space for some more cards very soon!

Have a good weekend everyone

Wee Stamps Winter Fairy (1)

Hi Everyone

Hope you have all had a good week - at last we have made it to the weekend! Here is another Christmas card I've made using the images that I coloured last week (for those of you that are on Facebook you may have seen it) and I've left the bears alone for this one and used the Winter Fairy digistamp from Wee Stamps. I have done this is two colour-ways so watch out for the other one tomorrow!

Here is the first card:-

Isn't she cute! Again I've used the Christmas Kraft Notes papers from Forever Friends. I love this paperpad so much that I've now just ordered the 12 x 12 pad so that I don't run out for a while! I hope you like her.

I'm off now to do a spot more colouring for some up and coming birthdays for October (while Brent is distracted by the footy!).

Enjoy the weekend

Happy Birthday - 40 today

Hi everyone

Me again! It's my old next-door neighbours' 40th birthday today so of course I had to make a card for her. I decided to leave the 40 off of the front of the card, she will probably have enough cards with that on it. I'll just put some 40 sprinkles inside the card!

Here is the card and I've used an image from Wee Stamps this time - Wee Florist:-

oh look there's that paperpad again - lol! And for my birthday I got the Forever Friends Christmas Kraft Notes pad, can't wait to get going with that one!

Hopefully Denise will like it and I'm looking forward to going to her party on Saturday (night off from Slimming World -haha!)

Bye for now!

Love Trip Anniversary Card

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all well. It's the bank holiday weekend here in the UK so we get an extra day off on Monday - hurrah! Only problem is that the weather forecast for tomorrow is not very good at all, typical for Bank Holiday but fingers crossed it will improve for Sunday and Monday. If not I'll just have to pop to Crafty Corner won't I!

Anyway on to the crafting.....

As it is Bank Holiday I took half day holiday this afternoon just to make the most of it, and after a nice coffee and a chat with my buddy Karen it was then back home to Crafty Corner and this is my first creation an anniversary card.

 

 

I've used the Love Trip digi stamps from Wee Stamps and I've coloured it with Spectrum Noir and Promarkers (see below).

 

I hope you like it.

 

Right I'm off to watch a bit of tv before I go off to bed - early start in the morning to go swimming!

 

Enjoy the weekend, See you soon

 

Lisa xx

Wedding Congratulations

Hello Everyone

Hope you are all well. I can now share this little card that I made a couple of weeks ago as I made it for a friend of ours who got married yesterday - Congratulations Angela and Mr P! I hope they've opened all their cards by the time this post has gone live!

I bought a few of the First Edition paper pads a little while ago and one of them was the Up and Away paper pad. I found this perfect digistamp over at Wee Stamps which matched the papers perfectly - and was apt for a wedding card.

Here is the finished card

How cute are these two little bugs! I can see me using this image again! The greens/blues and browns all work really well together I think - I hope you all like it!

Looking forward to reading all your comments a bit later

See you around again soon  - and congratulations again Angela!

Commissioned Wedding Card

Hi Everyone

Have you all had a good weekend? The sun finally popped out to say hello this afternoon so we took the dogs out for a nice afternoon stroll - soon gets chilly as soon as the sun goes down though! Spurs where on the TV this afternoon so while Brent was pre-occupied I popped into Crafty Corner to finish this card. I've used the new Love Me Do digi-stamp from Wee Stamps......

I wasn't really sure what colour scheme to use so I went with purple/lilacs. Printed the image a bit big so there wasn't really any room for flowers so I added a heart charm instead! I've also added some stickles to all the flowers but you can't really tell that from this photo unfortunately. I hope Debbie and the Happy Couple like this.

Off to watch the Dancing on Ice results show and get ready for work tomorrow :0( 

Catch up with you all soon

Lisa

Wee Stamps Summer Fairy

Hurrah! The weekend is here - been a long week at work for some reason, and today the weather has been really pants. So to cheer myself up I made this card to practice my colouring and I've used the Summer Fairy from Wee Stamps. This stamp was a freebie with one of the card magazines but you can get her as a digistamp too.

And here is a close up of my colouring - what do you think, improving???

 

I've coloured her using Spectrum Noir pens. My blender pen also arrived in the post today so if the weather is still pants over the weekend perhaps I'll be able to get some more practice in!

 

Have a good weekend everyone!

 

Lisa
