Good afternoon friends.

Aaawww poor loves.  Looks like they have a touch of sunburn!  This funny image is from Sparkle & Sprinkle and also comes with the sentiment.  I have coloured the image in with my pro-markers.

Relax... It's Your Birthday

Good morning everyone.  I wish this heat would just go now to be honest lol.  Brandon's gone to football and I just hope he will be OK playing in this heat.

Here is my card for today....

Today's card is using a digi stamp from Chi Chi memories.  At the moment it is a freebie.  I don't know if any are left as it is limited, but you can always check here.  You can use the freebie in their challenge, which I am going to be entering.  She's very cute isn't she.

I used pro-markers to colour and the papers are Basic Grey Olivia 6 x 6.  I have used my Spellbinders floral oval die to frame the image.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The black flower is from Flourish with a bling and the pinks are from Wild Orchid.  Everything else you see is from my stash.

For You

Good morning everyone.  Still really hot isn't it?

I have a chance this morning to get a card on as I am making my lad take it easy today as he has injured his knee and the cut won't heal because he keeps either falling on it or banging it.  It's looking pretty gross so he's definately not roughing it today.

Here's my card....

It's a cute Bugaboo and he is very cute.  I loved colouring him in.  You can find him here.

My papers are from a magazine and the little sentiment tag is part of the paper set.  He is of course coloured in with pro-markers and the flowers are my ever favourite freebie die from another magazine.  The felt die-cut and white bow are from the works.  Everything else is just from my stash.

New Challenge at Love To Scrap Sponsored by Stitchy Bear Outlets and Fred She Said Designs

Good morning Crafters - hope you are all well.  What a stormy weekend.  Did you get the thunder and lightning.  We did and it felt pretty close too.

Today it is time for another fantastic challenge over at Love to Scrap Challenge blog.  The theme is Scheming Crafters which means pick a colour scheme for your card and please state your chosen theme on your blog (just so we know).  You will see from my card that I have gone for a Cool Colour Scheme using blue and grey.

Here it is...

I chose to use Old Truck from Fred she Said Designs and I really enjoyed putting together this masculine card.  First I was going to go with earthy colours for this digi and do the truck brown, but somehow I ended up going with grey.  I think it works though.  The papers are Echo Park 12 x 12 and you can see some glossy accents on the headlights.  The sentiment is computer generated and everything else is just from my stash.

Snowy Christmas Wishes (in July!!!)

Good morning all - hope you are well.  My ears are popping at the mo.  I think it has something to do with atmospheric pressure, maybe?  It feels really heavy in the air here in Buxton.

I have yet another Christmas card lol....

It's another cute Bugaboo image and I've done something a little different with my pro-markers.  I've used the blender pen to blend the colour around the snowmen and on them as well.  It's a nice shading effect I think.  The papers are Magnolia 12 x 12 and the snowflake is a Magnolia Die.  I've used my cuttlebug embossing folder (snowflakes) which you can see at the bottom of the card.  Everything else is from my trusty stash.

Catch the Bug - Christmas in July (Kraft, Embossing & Snowflake)
