Cheers M'Dear

Good afternoon.

I'm finding it hard getting back into making the cards.  The will is there but the technique has slipped a bit.  I've made two cards since coming back from holiday and both were a struggle.

Today I want to share this one...


I'm even struggling taking the photos lol

I have used a super cute image from Digi Boutique called Cheers Zara .  This reminds me of when I lived in Liverpool and me and my friends used to go out on the town after a week at work and have a blast.  I loved my glass of lager!

I used my pro-markers for colouring.  The die-cut corners are a birthday gift and they are from Whimsy stamps (a pack of four corner dies).  The papers are a selection of 12 x 12's by Doodlebug.  My gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid.

Good afternoon all.

This is a scheduled post as I am now on holiday and it's my birthday tomorrow.  Another year older bah humbug lol.

It is that time again for another fun filled challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog.  The theme this week is Christmas, Children or Critters.  All the C's.  Please come along and join in the fun.

Here is my card....


I got to play with this sweet image from Bugaboo digi stamps.  I love this one, especially the little mouse hiding behind the elephant. It is called Peaches Balloons but I have changed mine to Percy Balloons lol.  I wanted to make it more of a boy card.  I just don't think you can go wrong with a Bugaboo stamp at all.  They are brilliant.  I have coloured mine in with pro-markers and the papers are Basic Grey.

Good morning all.  Did you get a load of rain yesterday?  We sure did, but it doesn't bother me.

Brandon coloured him in with pro-markers and he wanted the image printed out this big so it became the focal point of the card.  The paper is Doodlbug Kraft in Kolour 12 x 12 and everything else is just from my stash.
