I love this image from Tiddly Inks.......skater Wryn. I also love this sketch from a couple weeks ago, its so versatile and I've teamed it up with different images and colour combos......excellent to use up your scraps as I've used 1.5" squares. The sentiments are from Pink Petticoat. 

More Skater Wryn to come..........and a couple of other Wryn images

deconstructed sketch no.71

I've started my chrimbo cards............but was struggling a bit with inspiration Until Tiddly Ink's released some gorgeous christmas images, had to buy all three. Yesterday I played with all images and combined this lovely carolling Wryn with Jen's sketch.......find the sketch here

its been sooooo long

Yes, Its been awhile since I blogged..........What my excuse???Well not a lot, just mojo has been on holiday I think. I've been working extra hours and been very tired lately, so uninspired to create. As that dreaded C word is looming I thought I'd give myself a kick up the backside and start creating. The process has been slow but it seems I'm finally back creating in a small way. 

And yes I have a card to share.....

While blog hopping, yes Ive still been checking out your blogs.......although not been commenting much, just havent had time but now back to part time again and a weeks holiday to come I'm sure I'll catch up soon. Back to the card....While blog hopping I came across a digi site, someone had used so I checked it out. Its called "Pink Petticoat" loved all the images but purchase the Rudolph and penguin collections, also a few sentiments too......love the funky images.

So here eventually is my first christmas card for 2012.......hopefully not my last 

Take care and thanks for looking........see you again very soon x

hello friend....

Today's card is for the Tiddly Inks Challenge 81...which is a gorgeous sketch, pop over and check it out.

I coloured a few images last night, so today grabbed my scrap box, and a few odd bits n pieces.....love this summery image of Wryn, she makes the perfect summer card. Hopefully we'll see a bit of the sun soon.

Its the last day of my holiday, so back to work Monday......hoping to get a few more cards done and of course hopefully blog.

Dont be grey........

Well its been awhile since I've blogged, as my poor laptop is knackered awaiting new parts that will hopefully fix the problem if not will have to save pennies to buy a new one..........cant live without it. I'm currently lending my dad's for a few hours so thought I'd share this card I've made using "Grey Tie" from Saturated Canary.....love it as a big fan of the shades of grey book's added some bling so will enter for the current challenge on the Saturated canary challenge blog

Today i'm hoping to share my time between the ironing and card making, so hope to complete a few more challenges, but not sure when I'll get to upload.......so for now, bye x

Father's Day....day 3

It's the weekend and day Three of my Father day's card........Another "pollycraft" image coloured with Promarkers, some patterned paper from my scrap box , also added a few brads.

Have a good weekend and I'll try and pop back tomorrow with my card for my dad.

Father's day.....day 2

Day 2.....today card features an image from "pollycrafts", unfortunately which is closing down, very sad as there was some great images in store, theres a closing down sale so grab yourself a bargain or two....I love this robot dad, I've kept the card fairly simple by just adding 3d paint to circle, some father's day ribbon and a few co-ordinating buttons. 

I'm entering it in a new challenge on the crafting for all seasons blog...."theme is for men"

Thanks for visiting be back tomorrow with another card.

Countdown to Father's Day

As Fathers Day is approaching fast, thought I'd share a few cards over next few days. Firstly I'd like to share  this red, white and blue card, inspired by the jubilee. The image, comes from Mel Jen' Designs.....find the store here, its has been coloured with promarkers and twine, ribbon and star rubber stamp added. I'm entering it for the challenge on the Meljen design blog......remember to pop back tomorrow for another card with a male theme.
