Life Tree

This card is a bit of a mix and match card as I started with the Clarity Stamps Naked Tree, and before I new it I reached for the Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamp set and decorated the tree, a few buttons back ground paper, ribbon and twine.

I have been colouring and cutting like crazy to prepare for a Blog Hop for the Dream Team on Thursday morning so be sure to pop back for then I may even give what I have made away.

hAnglar & stAnglar stamped card

This is a first for me, I managed to get a set of hAnglar & stAnglar stamps from ebay heaven they are like hens teeth to find. I coloured this cutie pie with Prisma pencils I didn't blend with sansoder or gamasol or even baby oil, I blended with a white Prisma pencil.

Blossom, lace and ribbon. a few pearls and a Basic Grey DP and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

I used a large flower punch and punched out 2 pink blossoms on one of the blossoms i nipped off the edges of the petals with another punch then buffed the petals with a pink ink pad, the centre is one of the Prima flower centres.

A piece of lace and a sheer pink ribbon tied in a bow, the little dress I stamped twice so I could 3d the image.

Jack singing for his supper

jack had been to the swimming baths today with his Mam and Uncle Craig, Auntie Claire and cousin Alfie and they had thouroughly enjoyed themselves.

Afterwards Lauren brought him over as it is Natalie's (daughter) birthday and after crawling around and pulling himself up on all of the furnature he decided it was snack time, he hasn't quite mastered the fact that you need to keep your mouth closed whilst eating and also that singing whilst food is in your mouth makes it fall out miss the tray and land on Grans floor.

I'm hoping that those of you following me are receiving this ok as i know there is some of you just getting a title at the moment. I am working on a fix for it as are a few of the techy helpers at feedblitz.

Year of the Flowers - Violets

This was one of those cards that had sat on my desk uncoloured, I wanted something in soft shades but it kept tempting me to colour it in reds or lavender shades but i resisted and finally got it coloured

Poor Jack

Lauren came with Jack on Monday as we watch him whilst she runs a slimming club and I was really busy uploading a card to my blog when she asked "what shall I do with him because I have to go" so funnily I said "just stick him in the cupboard" so she opened the cupboard door which is the utility cupboard and this was the result.

Mmmm I think he like it ha ha!

Some Tea

Anyone for tea? Isn't this image just delightful?

Some Tea a digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil Too coloured with Promarkers, pretty papers, card, ribbon, punches, Nestabilities an a bit of love to bring it all together.

Through the Trees

Sometimes simplicity just shines through.

i had this Through the Trees stamp set by Papertrey Ink sitting on my desk, i was looking at it thinking I was going to get into an inky mode when I stamped the trees onto the card this happened, I no longer thought getting inky was the way to go.

Attention to detail...

A simple band of moss coloured card with a white sheer ribbon and a sentiment charm.
