Men Only Card

Good morning everyone.  Will have to be quick on here as my son Brandon is getting impatient to get on here and play his game.

Yesterday, we went to see Wreck it Ralph and it was great.  We also went to McDonalds afterwards which is a treat for us.  At the moment we all have colds!

This card was made using Paper Mania Chronology CD and Stamps.  The twine, backing card and owl charm are all from my stash.

With Love

Good afternoon all.
We have had a sunny couple of days, lovely just in time for my lad Brandon to be on half term.  We are off to the park in a mo with some friends, but first wanted to show this card.

This is a digi image from La Pashe that was on a CD that came with Complete Cardmaking magazine and I have coloured it in with pro-markers.  I did black hair, because I am practicing this.  I used black and Cool Grey 3.

The backing papers are Basic Grey and Rasberry road and the embellishments are from my stash.

Cool and Blue Goth Girl

Good afternoon all - a lovely sunny day here and no snow (yeah!!!).

This card was made with a Sugar Nellie Goth Girl stamp and is more or less my first attempt at doing black hair with pro-markers.  It didn't quite turn out the way I imagined it too but the final result suits the image.

The backing paper is a mixture of Basic Grey Picadilly and Papermania British papers.  The roses are from WOC and the sentiment is a Whimsy stamp.  Card and pearls are just from my stash.

I have glittered the rose and around the image too.  I adhered the glue on the flowers and edge of image with blue acrylic paint.  I've never done this before and it was fun.

Thank you so much for looking - I appreciate it and have a great day - :0) Michelle

Happy Birthday Party Dress

Good morning.  Snowing again, now there's a surprise lol.

Butter Wouldn't Melt in Her Mouth

Good morning all.  We have snow!!  My Nephew is staying with us at the moment, all the way from Liverpool, I don't think there is any snow there, just here in Buxton lol.
Yes, butter wouldn't melt in this girls mouth lol.  She is a Di's digi image coloured in pro-markers and the papers are Kay Miller Spring collection.  I got these from a CD Rom that came with the magazine Complete Cardmaking.  Really good value for money and this issue is still on sale.

The sketch I used is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  A great sketch to work with don't you think.  The sentiment is from a rubber stamp from Cuddly Buddly.  The rest of the items are just from my stash.

Apologies, for just one image to look at.  I had done a close up photo (2 actually), but they were horribly blurred and just not worth showing :0(

Have a Hoot on your Birthday

Good morning all.  Well it's my second day not smoking :0)  I have two 7mg patches on again, 'cos I don't have any 14mg patches lol, but some are coming today in my shopping.  Brandon went to the dentist yesterday.  He didn't need anything done but they wanted to put a flouride paste on his teeth to strengthen them, but boy he wasn't letting the Dentist do that easily !
My card for today was created using free Woodware stamps and free papers from a papercrafting magazine.  Such a nice free gift it is too.  I stamped the owl onto different pieces of paper and pieced it all together, really enjoyed it too lol.   I like this card a lot.  The pearls are from my stash.  Thank you so much for looking - appreciate it and have a great day :0) Michelle

Anyhow, this card I made for my Niece and its a Country Companions decoupage with country companions backing paper in the background.  I used silicone glue to build up the image.  The other little bits and pieces are from my stash.  Thank you for looking, I appreciate it :0) Michelle

Good morning everyone.  It's  a pretty cold day today!  Its my fella Col's birthday today.  I gave him two handmade cards - one from me and one from Brandon:0)  I put money in his card so he could get some trainers.
I love this fairy stamp (she is a Whimsy stamp called Silver Fairy) and have used her quite a bit.  She is coloured in with pro-markers.  The backing papers are Memory Box Viola and the stamped sentiment is Dovecraft.  The flourishes are made with dies and the flowers and brad are from my stash.  Oh and I have used Bazil black and purple card for matting and layering.

Birthday Monkey for Dad

Good afternoon all.  Hope your day has been good.  I've been a bit busy.  Went into town to try and get my fella some trainers for his birthday on Monday but they just didn't have his size in any of the styles I picked.  I don't know what to get him now :0(
Anyhow, this card is for his birthday.  The digi Monkey is a Dustin Pike freebie I found on Pinterest.  I love this monkey and can see me using it loads.  He is coloured in with pro-markers.  The papers are Nitwit (I think.)  I stamped the sentiment with Dovecraft stamps and the buttons are a selection from my stash.  Thanks so much for looking - I appreciate it:0)
