Butterflies

Here is a taste of what I have been doing this week..... This is a Hero Art stamp printed onto a sheet of Blueberry Hill and coloured with Copics, highlighted with some sparkle and various extras....

I hope you are all finding time to do some crafting amidst all the chaos out there !! :)

New Month, New Post

Having been uber busy, it was soo lovely to get back to my crafting... I had forgotten how relaxing it is... note to self... 'must do more crafting..and stay sane!'

Any way I got really into it and produced 5 cards using some digital images that I had in stock, that I had coloured using my new Copics, and this is one of my favourites.

I used Origins paper from Basic Grey. I hope you like it too.

Thanx for dropping by. xoxo

Autumn Colours

So, the weather is horrible, wet and wintery, and I have spent the day playing with some new Ultra thick embossing crystals that came in the post today- WOW!! I am totally addicted!

Anyway this is what I was working on last night.... an Easel card with a hidden message inside the 'petal' card on the front..

I was inspired to work with these colours to celebrate the beauty of Autumn with the Crafty Alley Shop, and also the 'secret' challenge with Paperplay this week and with A Pocket Full of Posies

Thanx for visiting, and please add yourself as a follower to my Blog, you would be VERY welcome xx

Graphics 45 Challenge

Well, at last I have managed to put something here for you ... I have been away to 'sunny' Ireland! and after a long and tedious journey home, loads of washing, and some sleep, I am ready to craft :)

Pocket Full of Posies

A boxed set of 5 Thank you Cards

This is a Ferrero Rocher box that I have covered with Kate Knight Amethyst- Floral range, inside and out, I have used a felt butterfly from Henbury Lane and a little magnetic strip to hold closed.

The box is the perfect size for 135mm square cards..... and I have made 5 using the same range of papers throughout, with a little core'dinations card stock.

The sentiments were printed onto white card, and I have also used my Sakura gelly roll pen to highlight details on the papers. the flowers have been made using an assortment of Dahlia nesties, Prima and henbury flowers and a little perfect pearls spritzed here and there, the gems and other details are also from the Henbury Lane goody bag.
I really enjoyed making this for a gift for a special friend of mine and I shall give it to her tomorrow.

Now all I have to do is eat some more Ferrero Rocher, so that I can use another box!!

Thanx for visiting :)

I have entered this in the Pocket Full of Posies challenge this week.

A Favourite Page of mine to share with you

Good morning everybody :)

It's lovely and sunny again here today, we love sunshine!!

Today I wanted to share a page from a memory album I have made to remember my Grandmother, who died this year. She was an amazing lady and a great influence to me and I really look forward to meeting her again in the resurrection.

I love this page with it's layers and pocket with a copy of her family tree and the text from a tribute I made at her funeral; printed on the reverse side of the V&A papers that I have used throughout this album, then folded and stored in the pocket.

The wooden 'E' is the last letter of her pet name 'Millie'. I have entered this post into this weeks Simon Say's Stamp & Show 'Layers' challenge.

Thank you for visiting :)
