Castle Howard Proms Spectacular

It is many years since I went to Castle Howard Proms spectacular but what i can say is that it was an amazing night.

Well I’m doing it again this year

I’ll be there waving my flag

Now the last time that I was there  just couldn’t believe my eyes at the splendour, there were tables set with Candelabra's and floral delights that even Florists in London would be proud of so this year I thought I would not be out done so I looked up to buy flowers online whilst doing so I came across this.

So it arrived today and I have to say that it is one of the nicest hampers I’ve seen and just perfect for the occasion. Cutlery, plates wine and cheese, won’t we be the posh ones? I think a picnic basket and hamper is perfect for romantic gifts.

I’ll try to get some photo’s on the night so you can see what it is like.

Biker Babe–Baby Card

Who could resist this little cool dude?

Hard as nails I tell you, hard as nails…

Biker Babe by Mo’s Digital Pencil is just so darn cute,

Coloured with Copic markers and added one scrapbook designer paper by DCWV (striped) and I can’t for the life of me remember the maker of the dotted scrapbook designer paper.

A few craft buttons and ribbon from Fantastic Ribbons and a duck wood shape.

Little Aviator

Isn’t it just so sweet that Mo did this as a girl too.

Plenty of girls love this sort of thing and I for one was a typical Tomboy being brought up with two older brothers I had no choice.

Dream Girl by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Coloured with Copic Markers, the designer paper is one from Stampin Up and the brown stitched block is a silk sample I received when I was in the Lake District, the sentiment is from the Birds of a feather stamp set by Papertrey Ink and a satin ribbon to finish.

Little Present

How about a hand made Christmas card for the man in your life?

I think Little Present by Mo’s Digital Pencil will be perfect for him.

Coloured with Copic markers and looking very sultry for that special man, I used scrapbook papers from years past for this card and a few Christmas embellishment's from Stampin Up a laser cut wooden snowflake and a two toned sheer ribbon.

I used a half fold card for this one.

Just Inklined to Blog Hop and Spot Prizes

The theme for this month for the Just Inklined Blog Hop is Checks as in Squares chosen by our host this month who is Karen  and that is where the Blog hop starts.

I used Zei Noodles digital Stamp for my card this month as it is perfect for a teenager card and lets face it that type of card just aint easy.

So you should have landed on my blog from Joyce 

and remember to leave a comment on all of the blogs to be in for a chance of winning a spot prize.

I’ve had this coloured for a while but I found a fabulous paper in my stash that you would think I chose especially for the image (I didn’t) I coloured the image with promarkers and it sat on my desk for ages then whilst tidying my scrapbook papers and trying to find some sort of order to them this one popped out and I knew exactly where it was headed.

I made an easel card added a bit of lace and some pretty satin ribbon as a stopper.

Next up is Tammy and I know she will have something wonderful to show you all.

Little Elves

I think I found my MoJo!

Little elves Mim and Pipa by Mo’s Digital Pencil, coloured with Copic markers.

Little Mim Elf paper pieced the bauble and printed twice to decoupage her and added glitter stickles to the fur.

Little Pipa Elf again decoupaged, glittered and paper pieced.

I spent a wonderful day with Grandson Jack, I built Chuggington train set up and we played for hours.

Have you got it?

Not one embellishment, no ribbon, or double sided tape, I didn’t even use a self adhesive pearl or Copic or Promarkers, cuttlebug sat feeling lonely alongside my designer papers, I didn’t even use a digi stamp, craft knife, scissors, glitter or a guillotine.

I did however use a sentiment.

So after an awful day (Thursday)I seemed to have lost my MoJo, have you got it?

I thought it would be nice to show you some more of my holiday snaps from the Lake District I thought I’d best show the first in a card form.

Climbing over Hardknot Pass

Breath-taking views

Quaint little bridge

Contemplating the jump

and of course searching for Chris at the station where we stopped for a cuppa.

Tomorrow I’m going to have some quality time with Grandson Jack, I’m hoping he will find the MoJo for me.

A Bit of News

I haven’t a card made today because I’m nursing yet again another head cold “sniff” but I do have a bit of news.

Firstly 2 dates for your dairy 13th and 14th September I will be back on TV at Create and Craft I will give you more on the times later as these can change, I will be bringing Just Inklined  into your living rooms to view so if you are working those days be prepared to set your recorders.

Secondly Just Inklined is heading for some changes one of them being PayPal so many of you have asked us to go with that method of payment that we have listened and it will soon be available for you.

Last but not least I will be demoing at Imag-e-nation  Tyne & Wear this Saturday I’ll be demoing lots of craft tools including Tonic Studios so come along and have a play.

Big Girl Pants–Card

Big Girl Pants Digital Stamp by Mo’s Digital Pencil I fell in love with this image as soon as I saw it, such a cutie, we often see images with children dressing in their Mums clothes but it is generally dresses and so this one makes a refreshing change and is sure to bring a smile from ear to ear.

Just look at those spotty frillies, I kept to pastel shades with this one and the lavender designer papers seemed perfect for the job, inexpensive ones too by Craft Creations, I used a Labels nestablilites die from Spellbinders to cut out the image and coloured her ith Copic Markers. Ribbon, dainty dots and a stick pin to finish.
