Waving the flag

How on trend our little girl is!  Using a Lilyboo digi stamp from Cuddly Buddly this is my first submission as part of their design team, how cool is that, AND it's my favourite digi stamp site, I'm in heaven!! 

We are currently in the middle of Thetford Forest, wifi reception very dodgy, but the grassy field we are pitched up in is a perfect back drop for this card. Love the daisy's!



 I used the 2nd largest flower as leaves.

My you tube video of 50 cards.

If you need a good nights sleep take a look at my latest 50 cards, I don't speak because my daughters said I shouldn't,  what a cheek!!  Anyway if you don't fall asleep half way through I hope you enjoy taking a little peek. They are all A6, and fairly simple, as soldiers don't like ribbon and sparkle, I have however sneeked a few in!  Thanks for looking. xx

P.S  I am on the Cuddly Buddly design team, OH YES !
 

Forever hopeful

Another beautiful image from Wee Stamps, called Hopeful.  I tried to keep this card neutral using only beige and pink,  I hope I have succeded. I would like to tribute this card design to fleur  who does the most wonderful work and inspires me to create, especially this sketch.

I have used my Cricut for the flowers, butterflies and borders

I used my Promarkers to colour her in.

A hidden tag with a sentiment, flowers button and borders.

Can you find where the other tag is?

A beautiful die cut butterfly, NO glitter, yes very difficult not to glitter !!

Cowgirl

I love this little digi stamp from Wee Stamps, they are quite beautiful. I thought I might go orange! How did the blue get into this is a mystery... hey ho.. I have triple embossed the balloon for extra dimension. Promarkers, distressing, cricut and a bit of doodling, job done.

I think you can see the embossing on the balloon, I also tried my very best to get blonde hair,  How tricky is that !!!

Pretty little cowgirl.

Tree house

I couldn't wait to use a very old Almanack I bought recently,  I asked the owners permission to cut it up!  I felt so guilty, but as he had millions of old books he didn't seem to mind. I cut the flowers using the Tim Holz dies.  I love the steam punk tree house image and have used it loads of times for new home cards!  People seem to love it.  Anyway using a theme of black and green I have created a masculine card with a twist.

Little poppet

I just needed to create a pretty card, having done 100 cards for soldiers which must be kept plain and simple I needed a creative day! 

My lovely Mo Manning digi stamp, I love this little chap.. lacy toppers, flourishes and 3 layered flower cut with my Cricut, Ornamental Iron 2. Doily buttons and papers from my stash. Image coloured in with Prisma pencils and pro markers. All slightly distressed.

Sharpe's on Tour - my sis and bro-in-law

My Sis and bro-in-law on their adventures, so smart in their caravan club uniforms..... breathe in Ang,  good angle.. Paul the knees have to go! xxx

Lily in her element weeeeeeeeee..

Well this has got to be Lily in her element at Thetford forest play area... cool kid!

You make my heart flutter

Ok, it had to happen, yes more cards for the troops... actually I quite enjoy doing these,  yes yes I know I said yesterday I liked the pink and fluffy stuff,  well there is just no pleasing some folk!

A lovely little digi from Cuddly Buddly, Karen Middleton me thinks... nitwit papers, are there any others ! ?

 A close up of colouring,  promarkers, might have to get some more colours...

And due to the fact that mostly chaps are going to send this home I have only used plain ribbon and a knot. The people that organise this actually say NO ribbon,  but hey I have selected deafness ! lol. xx

Sweet Tweet

 My little printer tray, so pretty with Nikky Hall's new stamps issued with her latest Chronicle. I have been waiting for inspiration to create a printer tray, and I think these papers and stamps were perfect. I have used washi tape, shrink plastic, ribbons and bows.

Having completed a load of very plain cards for the troops, it was so great to use pink, and go a little over the top!

See the little shrink plastic birdies!  A bit like 3 ducks on a wall !!

A few cards towards my second batch of cards for the troops

Using free stamps and papers, a little colouring in, embossing, and layering. The remit is to keep them as simple as possible, so thats what I have done.

Happy campers!

My sis and brother-in-law leading the high life in Devon, as assistant wardens at Broad Park Caravan Club site, how the other half live!

This craft artist software is a bit cool, can't wait to get my proper full size version, and upload all the digi kits.... I have another 50 cards to make for British soldiers abroad, so I must stop playing!!

Scrappy kids

This wasn't so long ago, 12th February, gosh it was so cold. Where has that time gone, now it's Easter and I'm not sure I'm ready for that either! These kiddies are my adorable Grandchildren, with another one on the way, due in August... they had stayed the night, and this particular morning I gave them my camera to take some pictures of interesting things. I ended up with a plastic butterfly which was on someone's wall, and a concrete garden ornament of 2 ferrets !! So needless to say I took control of the camera for just enough time to take these... thank goodness!! Bless them. Just trying out my Craft Artist software, I think I need some practice lol!

50 cards for the British troops to send home to loved ones, hopefully!
