Have a Wonderful Birthday

Good evening all,

My second card for today is this LOTV stamp.. I love this stamp for little boys cards.


The papers I have used for this card are some scraps left in my bits and bobs box.  When I came across them again I knew they would work perfectly with this stamp..
I have coloured the image with promarkers (blush, khaki, china blue, pearl blue, cinnamon, tan, ice grey 3).. The sentiment was an element with the papers. If anyone knows or recognises where these papers are from or by I would love to be reminded so can add more to my stock..
I embellished this card with bakers twine, a ship button and a brad in the middle of the sentiment.

I hope you like this card...

Happy Birthday Son..

Good afternoon all, What a lovely bright few days we have had here in the Midlands, let hope it stays..

Well I have had a busy morning, I had to take my youngest to meet his preschool teacher and see his class. I was so nervous but seems I had nothing to worry about has he had a great time and didnt want to leave there, in fact I had to drag him out kicking and screaming. So hopefully he will be ok when he starts the end of April.. Oh dear what shall I do with 2 and half hours with NO kiddies??

Anyway on to my card for today. I have made this for my stepson Joe's 13th Birthday.. He is really into music and likes to play the drums.


For this card I have used Kanban card and stamp.. I coloured the image using my promarkers. I also used a Kanban topper and sentiment for this card. I added peeloffs for the age and name..
i stamped this image twice, first onto white card and the next time onto siver mirri, I cut certain elements out from the mirri and added to the first image using foam pads to give a bit of extra detail/layers.

Happy Birthday

Good evening All,

What a lovely sunny day we have had here in the midlands.. Hope it has been a bright day where you are.

I have a few posts for today,my first is this cute digi from Bugaboo.


I coloured the image using promarkers (sky blue, khaki, tan, sandstone, blush, cocoa, pastel blue)
I used nesties to die cut the main shape behind the image and coloured the edges black to make them stand out more.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is an old peel off. The papers are from my leftovers so don't know who they are by SORRY... I have added 4 eyelets in the corners for little bit of extra detail.. (I am quite enjoying the lesser more simpler designs lately, as you can probably tell haha)

Good afternoon peeps, Hope you are all well and having a good week..

Well, I picked up my little bundle yesterday and she is absolutely beautiful, she really is a tiny tresure.. We have named her Poppy.. I will get a piccy posted soon.. My eldest son Harley is besotted with her.. He doesnt want to leave her alone, Bless him..

I have not managed any crafting for the past few days but her is one I managed to do a few days ago..

I think this stamp by Gillian F Roberts, I have a few of her stamps, they are really wonderful to work with, and cute images too..


I have coloured her with promarkers (blush, pastel pink, orchid, lilac, tan, caramel, ameythest' cool grey 2).. The backing papers are Kaisercraft.. I added metal mesh buttons and a purple flourish with a oraganze ribbon bow.. I also added a little charm from my stash (see close up pic below)


I enjoyed making this card.. I have not added a sentiment for a change as I have not decided for what occasion or who I am going to send it to.. I think it works well for a girly birthday or Mothers Day.

You're So Sweet

Good afternoon All.

Hope you are all well, the weather is up and down here (one min the sun is shining the next we have rain)... Hurry up spring!!!

Before I get onto my card I just want to share some news with you.. As you know a few months ago I had to have my labrador puppy put to rest... He was only 10mths old.. It was a very big shock and we all still miss him so so much.. We will always remember him and talk about him every day..

While he was with us he certainly left his mark.. (In more ways than one).  Last weekend we decorated our kitchen but we could not bring ourselves to removed some of those marks so I have decided to turn it into a bit of art lol..

(this picture shows where Coco chewed the wall and our new piece of art lol...)


We have decided to have another labrador
 (picure below)
We know she will never replace Coco but we feel that having her will help ease the gap that losing Coco has made in our family..



We are collecting her next week, so I am very excited but also very sad that Coco will never be back with us and that he will never get to meet her...


Anyway enough of my blabbering..lol... On to my card..

Todays card is this gorgous LOTV stamp...


I have coloured her with Promarkers... The backing papers are from Dovecraft back to basics... The butterflys are on a organza ribbon, not sure if it shows in the picture.. The sentiment is a preprinted one from a magazine freebie.. I have embellished this card with gems and a die cut swirl..

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for visiting.. And sorry for the long post...
You can go have a cuppa now lol...

Have a good weekend all, hopefully I will be back later with more cards..
