Little Bo–She’s Lost Them

We may need to organise a search party, poor love has definitely lost them.

Little Bo by Mo’s Digital Pencil and isn’t she the sweetest thing? such a pretty face.

Little Bo1

I wanted to keep this card uncluttered as she is so sweet it would be a shame to over power hers with lots of embellishments. Coloured with Copic and FlexMarkers.

Little Bo2

Papers are from Limited Edition,  ribbon, button, tiny pearls and a prima flower to finish.

Big Guy2All of the papers are from My Memories Suite 

The bakers twine is from Ribbon Carousel 

Big Guy3The star border is a gear levered Punch from Tonic Studios they are definitely worth a peek at because they cut through card like a knife through butter.

Ahoy me Matey’s

Grandson Jack had his face painted yesterday which was unusual as he’s a little afraid of it , very fitting that he chose to be a pirate I thought and far far cuter than the real Captain Jack.

Blog Candy–My Memories Suite

With so much going on in the world we often forget the good times, the important events and the love of a good family, I think that is why I personally love The My Memories Suite digital scrapbooking software, when making a layout your smile a lot remembering the event that was captured with by a camera and once again bringing it back to life with the help of My Memories Suite.

This layout that I have made is from a few years ago and it was at a Ladies Night, I used to love getting dressed up for these events, all of the ladies looking so glamorous in long gowns and the men looking very dapper in their evening suits, we danced we sang and often came home quite merry and giddy from a fabulous evening with friends. How wonderful to relive that with the pleasure of making a digital scrapbook.

Sew Lovely

I’m using a clear stamp set today from The Crafts Meow that you are going to love.

Sew Lovely

I felt wonderful getting to do something crafty, making the little lace bobbin and paper piecing the tailors dummy

Sew_Lovely1

You can see from the image below that paper piecing works really well with this set. being able to incorporate some of the designer paper into the image gives the card that professional touch.

Sew_Lovely2

I love the labels with this set as they work with the spellbinders label dies.

Sew_Lovely3

This is the full set of stamps aren't they amazing?

Available from The Crafts Meow to purchase.

Picture Perfect

Today I want to showcase an image from a new release over at Tiddly Inks by Christy Croll, this one is called Wryn Picture Perfect

Isn’t she gorgeous? I love the way she is swinging on the picture frame.

wryn picture perfect1

I coloured her with Copic markers and decoupaged her by printing two the same size and cutting out some of the image then added them on top with foam pads.

wryn picture perfect2

I teamed the image with Pearls from Mei Flower, papers from Memory Box and some sumptuous silk ribbon and prima flowers.

Easter Thoughts

Hope you are all having a wonderful Easter Weekend, we have Mam coming for her dinner, which will be lovely.

I had a late start this morning and just can’t seem to get motivated today, but I did motivate myself enough to get a card made.

Meet Easter Thoughts from D’Arcy’s Diaries 

DARCYSDIARIES_020.easter_thoughts1

Such a pretty little thing, I used the Spellbinders nestabilities egg dies to cut out the image then edged it with lace.

DARCYSDIARIES_020.easter_thoughts2

The image is coloured with Copic markers.

DARCYSDIARIES_020.easter_thoughts3

I used the Mei Flower Gems to highlight the Prima Blossoms, Mei Flower have free shipping this weekend so go and stock up.

What are you doing this Easter? I’d love to know.

It’s a Mans World

We’ve always joked in the house about Chris(long suffering husband) presuming the position (to sleep) on the sofa whilst watching TV, even when asleep he’s still in charge of the TV remote control. No matter how carefully you peel back each finger to get it out of his hand he always raises one eye.

I got Jim Harker to sketch this one up for Just Inklined as I thought it would be perfect for Fathers Day and Birthdays. It’s a Mans World from Just Inklined

Its_a_mans_world1

Coloured with Copic markers and teamed with designer papers.

Its_a_mans_world3

The only thing we are missing in this house is the dog.

Button and ribbon from Fantastic Ribbons 

I’m going today to have my nails redone as I told you I wasn’t overly pleased with the result last week. I’m getting Bio Sculpture gel nails which should allow my own to grow better without the horrible glue you get with acrylic nails.
