Just a quickie that I had forgot I had not put on, this is a Sara Kay stamp and such a jolly fella. I have used copics to colour and got my cuttlebug out for the background.
Must go to bed now or I will regret staying up in the morning, night night.

Sketch Saturday 77

Great sketch again this week on Sketch Saturday and gave me a chance to play with my new stamp. I fell in love with these cute characters when I saw them and just had to have them lol. I have teamed them up with basic grey papers and used some buttons from my button box.

Thought I would just pop on a card that I did for Sir stampalot using the new Sara Kay stamps. I love this stamp and have used my copics to colour her and also decoupaged her hat a little. My trustie Martha Stewart punch came out again and the sentiment is from a woodware set.
Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday, I am going to Lincoln because daughter is in a cheerleading competition, so no lazy Sunday for me this week.

Sketch Saturday 77

Another week gone, I cannot believe how fast the weeks are going and I still do not have many Christmas cards ready, but I can add this one to the small pile. The sketch over on Sketch Saturday is a fab one and I enjoyed using it. I have finally used my mice stamps and coloured with copics and the snowflakes are made with nesties. I got the paper at the Nec and now wish I had got more because it is lovely.

Now it is time to tackle my ironing, it was great going to the Nec for a few days but I am still playing catch up lol.

I thought I would put this Christmas card on my blog because I was pleased with how it turned out because I do not do vellum usually. I have stuck it down with double sided tape then gone over it again with more tape and glittered it and it turned out ok. The image is a Sara Kay stamp and coloured with copics and I even used a little flower soft too. I did use a patterned paper underneath but heaven knows why because you can hardly see it lol. I keep seeing everyones Christmas cards and I am now thinking I will never get mine done in time, I need a Christmas fairy to come and help me.

Sketch Saturday 76

Hello and if this post is here on saturday I have managed to set it to come on auto, I am at the nec this weekend demonstrating for Sirstampalot and will be busy colouring away with my copics. This is my card for Sketch saturday and I loved this sketch it was so lovely to use and I know I will use it again.

What I have used;
magnolia papers
copics
Martha stewart punch
brads and ribbon
I have used circle punches in different sizes to make my litle flowers and I have also got out my machine and I did a bit of sewing.

Have a nice weekend and if your at the Nec stop and say hello.


Well it did not work it is Sunday now and I am just putting this post on so I am a day late with the challenge post and back fron the nec. I am tired but had a fab time and now off to put feet up and have a cuppa.

Crafty Calendar challenge 2

I cannot believe a month has gone and we are onto the next challenge at crafty calendar challenge, and this month it is to incorporate weather and pearls is the optional extra. I have had to borrow this stamp from my crafting buddy Sara and it is a really cute stamp, so thankyou Sara. I have kept my card very simple in the layout and used my fav colours, I was very tempted to put something in top corner but told myself to back away from the card and leave it as it was lol.

Now I have to dash it is 5.30 in the morning here(never usually see this 5.30 in the morning lol) and I am off to nec, shopping today and demoing at weekend so if your there say Hi, I will be at the Sir Stampalot stand.
