Husbands eh! and Blog Candy

I was just chatting with one of my crafty friends about husbands taste in music when driving in the car and then I remembers the little gem that I got in the car to one morning.

I have been known to slide down my seat in the car in the hope that know one notices me when Chris is driving and puts on his own music but this one beat them all.

Picture the scene, dashing out early morning so that I won’t be late for work I jump in the car and turn on the ignition and wham the music is full blast, Chris had had the car the previous night and this is the little gem he left for me to listen to.

Delaney’s Donkey

I bet you will all be singing or humming the tune all night. Tell be your husbands most embaressing car music in a comment & I’ll sort out some blog candy and do a random draw.

Fancy a Freebie?

I’m working on a few background sheets, and was wondering if you would like them.

I’m thinking summer gardens here, if enough of you would like them I’m sure I could let them go free for you.

They would make such pretty background sheets for card making or indeed scrapbook pages.

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.

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
