Puppy Love ♥

Lately I have been using my Silhouette cameo and made this
design which took a while but very relaxing and rewarding.
Using a stamp called Puppy Love and coloured them with my polychromos.
Of course Monte had to fit in somewhere in the little scene made.
This has a little fold out section where Mr Monte is displayed.

naughty or mice

Beautiful day this part of the world.

Using a gorgeous stamp I have had for a short time

and sent to me by a long time blogging buddy, when I was ill, it's called
"Naughty or Mice".

Stamped with Memento ink and fussy cut.
Coloured with copic markers and I used traditional
Christmas colours.  I really love to use the red, green and white.
These colours always add to the real Christmas spirit as when I was a child.

reading, books, recess..☺

I was recently given this stamp to make some cards

for a  friend who needed three cards for grandies starting school.
This is a very versatile stamp

Called "Birthday Bus" by Avery Elle but I

converted to a School Bus.

DP was used for the background, and my stamp was coloured

with prisma coloured pencils. A few dies and stickers were used as well.

My stamp was fussy cut and foam mounted onto my DP.

I have one more card to make but can publish this one.

Happy Saturday ♥

Lovely "summery" Saturday  in this neck of the woods today.
Another outdoor day for me in the sun.

An 'old' crafting friend, I have not seen for a while,
wanted to have lunch yesterday and catch up.

We ended up making some cards as well.
 She needed some for her grandchildren
 and I wanted one for a friend's grandchild.

We both created something similar and this is my card.

Using my distressed oxides, a smooshing technique she never used,

dies, and some of her stamps.

My flower was made with foamiran and it was nice

to share and teach someone else how to use foamiran.

This is one of the flowers my friend added to her card,

using my Heartfelt Creations hibiscus die.

the "bunny" I love

I  made this card two days ago for my baby grand daughter,

and posted off today. When I saw the challenge over

at Simon Wednesday I thought it would be 

perfect with the stars.

I had to fussy cut the stamps, MFT,  as I don't have the dies to go with them,

coloured with copic markers, some stencilling on the blanket

and floor. Dies for the stars and window.  

[The sparkly stars were done in my programme & printed up
onto photo paper]

dreamy dragonfly

My card today is for a special friend across the miles

going through a tough time,  this is for her in

hope it will give her confidence again.

Stamp set is from Technique Tuesday, called

Dreamy Dragonfly.

I stamped one dragon fly with DI, fussy cut and mounted onto my

background paper, making it look like it was flying.

Background was made using the bubble technique.

delightful peony

Rain, glorious rain, so in my craft room to play.

My project today is made using  Memory Box dies called

"Delightful Peony outline and Delightful Peony background"

The background was die cut onto paper I made using Tombow
markers and brushed with water.

 The outline Peony was also "stamped" and gold embossed
and added to the of the corner of my card.
I then inked with Simon Says Stamp pad,
Rose apple, which was used with a water pen.
 A touch of sparkle was added to the flower.

hint of pink

Just playing around today with pencils, water, inks n things, and came

up with this card doing splatters and water colouring.

Using a Hero Arts stamp [Posey Sketch], I first

inked the stamp before stamping onto my cardstock.

I then used derwent inktense colour pencils and coloured with a water pen.

Slightly added pink over the embossed dots with a bauble

and sponged the top with baby wipes.

Splatters were made using and old brush, TH oxides mixed with water.
