Over the weekend, I had what seemed like a good idea at the time , and which now seems somewhat ill advised. What did I do? I began the process of sorting out my craftroom. Good grief. It’s a small room, but rather like Mary Poppins’ handbag… With the craftroom in turmoil, I don’t have anything of [...]
After a lot of rain yesterday and a decidedly cool start this morning, it’s turning into a lovely day. The sun is shining, the dog is sunbathing, and err, I’m sat here typing. Something wrong with that picture! A quick project to share with you today! The postman bought me some goodies from my latest [...]
Just in the nick of time, again! This card has been created using the sketch from this week’s Sketch Saturday challenge. I’ve changed it slightly as it didn’t quite fit what I was going for. And guess what?! No Copics! Now I bet that was a surprise. Today I’ve used my old favourites – Prismacolor [...]
This card sees me using yet another stamp that has been sitting neglected and uninked for some time! Shameful. You will be completely unsurprised to learn that Tilda has been coloured using Copic Markers, a list of which can be found at the end of this post! The key Tilda is holding has been covered with [...]
Finally, a card to show you! This one is a commission, requested for twin baby girls born recently. This Rachelle Anne Miller design seemed ideal for the job. The image has been coloured with Copics, cut out and layered on foam pads a couple of times. A list of the Copic colours used can be found at [...]
Apologies for the second shop update today, but this one is an important one, especially for buyers outside of the United Kingdom. Shipping is now calculated based on weight rather than the total order value. As such, shipping costs are now more accurate, and fairer for those in Europe. I have also now added the [...]
I’ve had several requests for this, and am now very pleased to announce that one of my absolute favourites is in stock – Raffia Lace! Unfortunately, the manufacturer has discontinued the white, but we have Raffia Lace available in SIX gorgeous colours – Natural, Black, Lemon, Pink, Lilac, Dark Pink. This is fabulous for adding [...]
Today I created a card with the latest Just Magnolia challenge in mind. I also had Bev in mind when making this card – all her gorgeous pink/green cards recently must have inspired me! Along with one of the recent scenery stamps, I’ve used one of my old favourite Tilda images for this card, and [...]
Thank you to everyone who stopped by over the last couple of weeks and entered my blog candy draw. The draw closed last night, and I can now announce the lucky winner (randomly selected)! Nicki aka Littleted62, with the following comment: » Littleted62 said: |{ Jun 9, 2009 – 07:06:07 } Gorgeous card, your colouring [...]
There is another great sketch over on Priscilla’s blog this week – Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #5. Check out the Design Team’s work, I am in love with Shawne’s card in particular! This week we have started enjoying strawberries from the garden, and so I knew exactly the stamp I wanted to use – the [...]
Thankfully my replacement sewing machine arrived yesterday afternoon, so I was able to finish my card for the latest Sugar Bowl Challenge. I have been itching to get this one finished! The Leanne Ellis stamp designs are among my favourites, I love the more arty stamps she has illustrated, and the most recent set are [...]
I have been meaning to join in with Priscilla’s Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge since the first week. Better late than never, here’s my first entry into the Midnight Madness challenges, and may there be many more! I love the sketch for this week’s challenge, and the Design Team have done a fabulous job with their creations. [...]
As I’m getting more organised, I thought it was about time I started joining in with all the fantastic challenges more regularly. Since the Whiff of Joy challenge this week is to use charms, I couldn’t very well let that one go past without playing along! And the sketch on Friday Sketchers this week really [...]
