Free Halloween Sheet

I've no card prepared for today so I hope you will forgive me, I was at the theatre last night with my Mam to see a play, a very funny one too. I'm not sure if I have already told you how amazing my Mam is but I wanted to tell you that she has started a computer course. When we lost Dad my Mam picked up a computer for the first time and loved it, she views many of the blogs from my Blog Links she surfs the WWW if she needs to find products and the likes and she wanted to know a bit more so she signed herself up and has even set up her own email address.
So rather than a card I know many of you have know started on your Halloween Cards so I've prepared a free sheet to help you on your way.
Click on the image to bring it up to full size then save it to your computer.

Autumn Splendour

Don't you just love the Autumnal colours? the trees are now a rainbow of the Autumn shades, vibrant and glowing earthy tones. I tried to capture a bit of that in my next card.
Three Trees is a new Just Inklined Digital Stamp which you can colour for any season, I used Copic Markers and the olives and orange shades then distressed the edges of the cards with distress inks.
Background papers are from Stampin Up the Autumn Ribbon is from my stash and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Queens Cutie - Kenny K

I simply love these DCWV papers they mix and match so well. Bunny Zoes Crafts even to samples of them so rather than get 2 of each design you get 1 of each for half the cost, it's a great way to get a couple of packs that you like for the cost of 1.
The image today is Queens Cutie by Kenny K coloured with Copic markers.

Sorry Shanna

My card today was inspired by Becca Feeken she used cupcake liners on one of her cards and I found some at Sainsbury's whilst shopping they aren't cheap at £4.99 for 12 lasor cut outers but they do look lovely on a card I used 2 of the outers to make this card.
Sorry Shanna is a digital stamp by Mo Manning, coloured with Copic markers and diecut with Nestabilies Labels, a ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.


A close up of the little lady, you can also see from this close up picture that the cupcake outer has a antique finish with a brown edge to the cut area.

Mum - A Mothers work is never done.

Another fabulous Digital stamp by Mo Manning called Mum coloured with Copic markers and Prisma pencils.
This just depicts the work of a Mother doesn't it?
Fo the water bubbles I used Rangers Glossy Accents, I layed it on thick then used the nozzle of the bottle to blow air bubbles into it then once it was dried I added some stickled glitter glue on top.

Jack Makes my Heart Melt

As most of you know Monday night we look after Jack but as I'd been to work all day and it would have been my Mam and Dads Anniversary I wanted to pop to my Mams so we took Jack with us.
Mam loves to see him and he just melts our hearts he is a busy little fellow and fully walking now. My poor Mams cat "Jess" darts out of the room as soon as she sets eyes on Jack to which Jack thinks it is one big game called scare the cat wittless ha ha!

Anyway here is our beautiful little fellow twinkling his blue eyes at you all.

Rose Bloom

This is Rose Bloom by Just Inklined I love this trio of roses, it reminds me of the rose bowl that used to sit on my Auntie's coffee table.
Coloured with Copic markers and teamed with DCWV designer papers.


Now that I have you all in the nature feeling here is a couple of photo's took of our beautiful feathered friends.

These are the little friends that pop into next doors garden for a feed, I commented to my husband just how beautiful they are and his reply was you won't be saying that when you see all the little parcels they have left on the car. Urghhhh!



This one is a beauty, just look at the red crest on it's head.
