By the River

Hello everyone, 
A big 'Hello' and 'Thank you' to my new followers. I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my little blog!
You might not want to see today's card, I really don't like it! I haven't been very well over the last few days, high temperature and I can't swallow! That's my excuse for a poor card anyway!! lol!! Must make an appointment at the Doc's!

The rubber stamp is from LOTV and is called 'By the River'. I 've coloured him with my promarkers.

The background papers are from Craft Creations. I've used a memory box die for the clouds and a marianne creatables die for the leaves, for some silly reason I finished it with a button!


I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Lilies Little Fairies - One for the boys
Cute Card Thursday - Water, water everywhere.


Thank you for taking the time to visit me today!

Teed Up!

Good Morning Everyone, 
It's Saturday morning which means I get a couple of hours to craft, but I'm having to fit more and more in so it's a very manic couple of hours! - I love it really!! 
Today's card is another Penny Black stamp - Teed Up. I already had this one coloured up as a friend asked me to do her a Father's Day card!

I've coloured him with my promarkers. The background papers are from Craft Creations.

I've used a spellbinders edgeability die for the border and the bunting was done with a pair of scissors as I don't have a bunting  die! I'm not sure it looks quite right! The letters are from an old papermania sheet that I've had for yonks!
I finished off with a bit of red, white and blue card candi!


Must dash as my Mum & Dad are looking after the kids for me this afternoon so that hubby & I can go to the pictures. I'm so excited we're going to see The Avengers! (I don't get out alot!! lol)

Berry Berry Christmas

Hello Everyone, 
What a shame there was so much rain yesterday for the jubilee celebrations - I hope your street parties went well. We took the children to Bridlington for the day and got soaked but had a brilliant day out!
I've got a Christmas card to share with you today.
The rubber stamp is from Penny Black and is called Berry Berry Christmas - I must be having a PB week!!

I've coloured the image with my promarkers, and the background papers are from Craft Creations.

I've used a spellbinders edgeability die for the border. The holly embellishment was made by stamping the image 3 times and just cutting out the leaf on the right hand side! - I need to find a good holly die!!
I finished off with a bit of ribbon from my stash.

PBSC Case It

Good Morning Everyone,

The rubber stamp is from a Transparent set - Piece of my Heart. I've coloured him with my promarkers. 

The background papers are from First Edition - Love Letters Pad. The large circle was cut by hand so please don't look too close!! I need a larger die cutting machine!!
I finished off with some flowers cut with a Joy!crafts die and a bit of card candy. (Sorry for the poor photo's!)
