Sunday Serenity

I’m trying to beat the chill in the air by dreaming of warmer days and thought that this would be just perfect for a Mothering Sunday Card.

Serenity by Just Inklined is new out this week

It just screams out relaxation no? it has it all, flowers, pink grapfruit cocktail, mills and boons novel and somewhere to put your feet up.

Coloured with Copic markers, cuttlebug embossing, EK Success scalloped border, pearls, flowers and a ribbon from Ribbon Carousel.

Fast Freddie

I was itching to get some new images released for Just Inklined and I thought I would start with my favourite first, I just know you’ll be bowled over with him.

Fast Freddie

Coloured with Flexmarkers by Letraset and teamed with some Stampin Up designer papers which I inked and distressed.

Just check out his stance, a sportsman if ever I saw one.

These are the other new releases from Just Inklined

Saturated Canary–Janessa

I had loads of fun with this card, the image is Janessa by Saturated Canary Digis  I used Copic sketch Markers to colour the digi stamp and the background designer papers are a mixture of Raspberry Road Designs digital papers and My Memories Suite Girlfriend papers I designed the layout of the card in My Memories Suite software by making an 8 x 8 scrapbook layout, once I had everything looking how I wanted it I saved the individual papers then printed them out.

I embellished the card with a satin ribbon bow a Spellbinders Sprocket die cut, twine gems and a button.

Viva Decor Craco Crackle Colour

 

Its ages since I got my fingers dirty and I love playing with different mediums and decided to give the Viva Decor range a whirl, I used the Craco Crackle Colour paint and the Precious Metals Paint and made a crackled book my supplies were bought from Creativity Direct

As it was difficult to photograph I took three pictures for you.

You can see how well the Craco Crackle colour works, it did state to leave it 24 hrs but I managed to speed up the process to 20 minutes just by using a heat gun.

It is easy to apply as you can use a paintbrush and add a fairy thick layer or use a pallet knife to spread it.

I only added the Craco Crackle to the outer casing and spine of the book once I new it was cracked and dried I sponged over some of the precious metal paint and painted the inside of the book with it too, i finished the book by attaching a ribbon around the book and tying a bow and added some memory embellishments to the front.

I used the smaller of the two books to decorate

Ice Ice baby

I know the present giving season has gone but heck the icy mornings haven't so this baby is very fitting.

Winter Fairy Talva by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I used a couple of the Memory Box dies the snowflake flourish and the big snowflake, the sizzix snowflake embossing folder and a Spellbinders Label die which I painted with the Viva Decor Croco Crackle colour and then used the precious metal paint of the top from Creativity Direct and yes I squealed when it cracked ha ha! I used copic markers to colour the image. I finished off with stickles glitter glue and a pretty ribbon from Ribbon Carousel 

My Nana

Morning , this is my first day back at work (frown) I just know there’s going to be far too much to catch up with but hey ho I’ll give it my best shot.

I didn’t get a card made last night but I did some colouring in between the nose dripping lol!

However I did manage a couple of layouts as I could keep my head upright so less nose drips to contend with. I know it’s gross but what could I do?

The subject was easy, My Nana, such a special lady.

This one is myself the baby and my cousin Susan both sitting on our nan’s lap.

 

Just to show you honest I did start to colour

Family Matters

Good morning, hope you are enjoying the weekend, today is my last day off work after a long Christmas break, my last few days has been spent nursing a head cold, but no worse than others have had it so I will survive.

Today my lovely husband is busying around the front room, it’s been tidied and he is now about to vacuum and dust, love that man!

We are having the family for Sundays dinner, no we aren’t eating them but they are coming over for their fix of Yorkshire puddings and Sundays dinner, all except Natalie who is spending the day with her friend, she is much much better now and will also be returning to work tomorrow.

I was looking over past photographs last night, our Granson Jack is now quite the chatty chap with the why? and What? questions that seem to flow in abundance he has grown so fast. I even had to buy a booster seat for our dining room chairs rather than his high chair for this Sunday dinnertime.

Here is a little reminder of what he was like as a baby using the My Memories Suite 

 

I used the program to plan out a card the other day as you can customise what size of layout you need, so I planned out the card on one layout the transferred the individual elements onto sheets ready to print so I only printed what I needed so that saves ink and wasted pieces this is the card here

I use My Memories Suite to digi scrap and now to make cards it is an amazingly easy program to work with.

If you would like to get started and be able to make wonderful gifts and keepsakes this is definitely in my opinion the program to be using.

Don’t forget by using my code you can get $10 off the My Memories Suite software and also an extra $10 coupon off any purchases made. That's a big $20 saving.

Love

My card today is made using Ragged Romeo by Mo’s Digital Pencil such a super cute little couple this, right down to there little boots.

Do you remember your first love, you know the one that broke your heart as a youngster and you thought it was the end of the world?

I know the word is quite often used as a day to day word as in “I love that” “isn’t that lovely” but to actually be in love is the best thing in the world.

Now this image just sings out the word love don’t you think?
