Good morning crafty friends.

Hope you are well today.  We still have rain, lots of it!

I'm Dreaming of a Pink Christmas

WARNING - picture heavy post!

Good afternoon crafty friends.  Hope you are all well today.  I'm full of cold.  Thought I was getting away with it this year as everyone around me has been unwell, but looks like I'm just the last one to catch it - oh well - better now than at Christmas!

I have a card to share and some piccies of my Son Brandon on Rememberance Sunday with his Cubs group...

This is another old Wild Rose Studio rubber stamp.  Once again I think I've used this every year for ages!  This beauty was coloured in with ProMarkers and my papers are LOTV Nitwits.

Rememberance Sunday....

 

On the last one my lad looks like he's falling asleep!

I do, however, have a festive card to share.....

This cute bear is an old stamp I own from Wild Rose Studio.  I seem to use this every year and I must of had it for about 5 or 6 years.  Could be more actually.  I have coloured him in with ProMarkers and my papers are LOTV Nitwits.  I've put some glitter around the edge of the image but you can only just about see this.

A Sunflower for You

Good afternoon all,

Today I have another sunny card to share with you and it is another teddy as well lol...

I loved making this card and it was a commission for a friend and she loved it (and the other's I made - which were 15 in total).

It is a Wild Rose Studion rubber stamp and he is called Milton.  I stamped the sunflower twice so I could do a bit of decoupage.  He is coloured in with my pro-markers.  The papers are freebies from a crafting mag and the ribbon is from Mei Flower Crafts.  Everything else is from my stash.

Good afternoon.  It's quite cold today isn't it?  I've just picked up my lad from Football and he is really improving his game.  Maybe one day he will be a famous footballer and buy me a mansion lol.

I have another bunny card to share today.....

The stamp is a very sweet Wild Rose Studio one and I have coloured it in with pro-markers.  The papers, sentiment and die cut butterfly are from a free paper pack (Jenny Ellroy), that came with a crafting magazine.  The pearls, flowers and ribbon are from my stash.

Just for You MIlton

Hi there!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas.  We did :0)

I did this card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday as sadly it is their last challenge, which I was surprised to find out and sad too.

A long time ago this challenge blog was the only one who recognised my work and gave me a chance by allowing me to be on the design team.  Their design team always, without fail made sure you got a comment from them.

I had let them down because at the time I was incredibly poorly, poorly to the point where I couldn't contact or speak or mingle with anyone, but I won't go into that, it's over now.  I'm well and fighting it now.

The lady Arlana who runs it has health problems so can no longer carry on with it.  She ran the blog with her lovely sisters and I wish Arlana and her sisters the best of everything and hope that Arlana's health problems improve and that she will be OK.

Hi there,
Hope you are all well.
This Dinosaur is from Wild Rose Studio and I love him.  I don't use him nearly enough.  He is coloured in with pro-markers.  (I can also make him a she if I chose too lol).

I made this card for a couple of challenges.

The papers are Wild Rose Studio Spring Fling.

I have used pro-markers, black card, A6 card and a rub on sentiment.

Thank you for looking and have a great day!
