Just Peachy...

Morning everyone....I hope you are all well.

Well I managed to get the wardrobes finished yesterday....so I might tackle a bit of gardening today....Please note.....I said....'Might'....!!!

I have another card to share today....




I'm really pleased with how this card turned out....I had no ideas or intentions of how I wanted my card to look and these are the papers that I had lying around on my desk so I challenged myself to use what was there.....

The image had been stamped for weeks and the poor little dragon had been sat naked until I chose his colours and gave him some dignity. 

The image is Fergus With Poppy from the Wild Rose Studio and the papers are Desert Blooms from First Edition. I have coloured using my very trusty Promarkers and used a Nestie for the mount. The flowers are made from two retro flower punches....spritzed and scrunched and I have used my favourite embellishments.....pearls from The Hobby House to finish off.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~

Little Grey Squirrel

Good afternoon everyone....I hope you are all well.

First I would like to say 'Hello' and 'Welcome' to my new followers. Thank you for joining me on my craft journey....I hope you enjoy the ride.

I'm hoping to get lots of crafting done this week as I have a week off work but typically who woke up this morning with a rotten cold.....'Me'....again!!!!

But I do have a card to share....


I have had this stamp for a few weeks but haven't had the chance to ink the 'little chap' up until now. This is a Whimsy stamp called 'Fluffy On The Lily'.

The papers are Wisteria from Basic Grey....I've had this paper pad for months and months but never really used it. I have coloured using my Promarkers and used various Nesties and a Martha Stewert border punch. The flower is a die from Marianne Creatables which I'm ashamed to admit is having its first outing too....Shame on me!!!!

I decided to follow a sketch this time.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~

Good evening everyone.....

Today I have a card to share.... I don't seem to be getting much time for crafting just lately.

I made this card for my other half....I had so many plans for this years Valentines card but as usual time ran away with me but although its simple the sentiment remains the same......

White Rabbit....

Good morning everyone....I hope you are all well and keeping warm.

Firstly I must apologise for not visiting and commenting on your blogs much recently, I will try and catch up with you all soon. I have been so busy lately with one thing and another and I have started a crochet class as well as already going to an embroidery class and a scrapbooking class....I've also started knitting again....well trying anyway.

Today I would like to share a card that I made for my dad's birthday this week.



The image is of course The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland but I can't remember what the make is. I bought a set of about eight at a show a couple of years ago and their all stored in a clear bag. I have coloured using Promarkers. The papers are from my stash. The clock is a Tim Holtz die and I have just added a few brads and pearls to finish. The little watch charm is from the Hobby House.

I'm not completely happy with the backing papers on this card but my dad liked it so that's all that matters really.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~

Cards For Men ~ # 3 ~ Seeing Red

Thank you for stopping by.
