LOTV 104

Hi everyone, gorgeous day here so I'm just off out to walk the dogs again. Just a quick post to show an ultra quick card I made this afternoon.

I used :-
Image :- LOTV cute square.
DP :- Tilda.
Roses :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
Pearls :- Hobby House.
Sakura clear glitter gel pen, Promarkers and Distress Inks.
This is for the following challenges :-

Simon Says Stamp :- Anything Goes.

Do you want to know something? When I finished it I wasn't too keen on it! I love the image and the DP but somehow I didn't like the card very much. I think it's growing on me a wee bit now!

I'm off to walk the boys now. Catch up with you all later.

GDT card for House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.

Hi everyone, surprised to see me? Well not as surprised as I was when I got an email from Christine asking me to be a GDT at House Mouse. I was pretty excited and I didn't even hesitate before saying yes please. The challenge this week is "Make a Splash." We'd like to see water somewhere on your card.

I had a good look through my House Mouse stamps and this is what I came up with using my favourite colour.


I used :-
Image :- House Mouse - Relaxing Bubbles.
Colouring :- Promarkers.
DP :- DCWV.
Card Candy :- Craftwork Cards.
Flower :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
Sentiment :- Penny Black.
Nesties, Tag punch, jewels, ribbon and Glamour Dust.

I think this card fits the following challenges :-
Pile it On :- Time to Relax.
Oldie but a Goodie :- Anything Goes.
Simon Says Stamp challenge :- Lemon and Lavender. (Thanks Lols.)

If you haven't been over to the House Mouse challenge blog do try to pop over to see the wonderful cards the DT have made to inspire you. They're all really talented and you won't be disappointed.

I've been quite naughty since I got Christine's invitation to join them this month as GDT! I went to Windrush Cards and Crafts and bought some new House Mouse stamps that I've been wanting for a while. Well I have worked full time for 2 weeks so I deserve a treat lol!

Thanks for looking and I hope you have a minute to tell me what you think.

Love is in the air!

Hi everyone, hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather this weekend. It's been lovely here in Aberdeenshire for a while now. I was lucky enough to have a day off on Friday but the only time I saw the sun was when I took the dogs for their walks as I was watching The Royal Wedding. It was really amazing, I loved it. Catherine was a beautiful bride and everything just went so well. I loved it when they left Buckingham Palace in the Aston Martin. Not sure why I thought I'd get anything done on Friday! Eventually in the evening I managed to make this card. Always useful to have a wedding card in your box.

I used :-
Image :- LOTV with some added Glamour Dust.
DP :- Sandylion.
Roses :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Pearls :- Hobby House.
Beautiful lace from stash.

I'm entering the following challenges :-
Lili of the Valley :- Love is in the air.
Stampin' For the Weekend :- Wedding.
Totally Papercrafts :- Glitter.
Truly Scrumptious :- Sketch.
Easy Craft Projects :- Royal Wedding.
Die Cut Dreams :- Wedding.

I was quite pleased that I managed to make something after all on my day off and even more pleased that it all came together quite quickly.

I'm looking forward to another day off tomorrow for the May Day Bank holiday. If I hadn't had to work yesterday morning I'd have been off from Thursday till Tuesday afternoon. 5 days in a row would have been nice but since we weren't doing anything on Saturday it wasn't worth losing a day's holiday just to have a morning off. Hope the weather's still nice tomorrow!

Hope you like and if you can spare a minute to leave me a comment I'd love to hear what you think.

She's so cute!

I love House Mouse images and this is one of my favourite images to make a new baby card. Isn't this a cute mousie baby?





The House Mouse Challenge this week is for something new so I decided to make a new baby card. I used the great sketch from Cupcake Craft Challenge.



I used :-

Image :- House Mouse - Baby Blocks.
DP :- Wild Rose Studio.
Colouring :- Promarkers, Spica Glitter Gel pen and Distress Ink in Spun Sugar for edges.
Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
Pearls :- the Hobby House.
Doiley :- Joanna Sheen.


I'm not sure about the way I've coloured the blocks but apart from that I quite like how this card turned out. Hope you like it and can find time to leave me a comment. I'm always encouraged by the kind comments people leave and it's nice to be able to visit you in turn and see what you've been making. I made this card on Saturday as well as my DT card for Just Cute Bears and I'm really pleased to have managed to make two cards in one day. I still need to make another Sympathy card or probably two would be better so I'll have a spare one. I also need to make my Uncle's card and one for a teenage nephew. But I have a day off on Monday so hopefully I can have a good day crafting then!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

How did it get to be Saturday again. I'm sure it was Saturday just a couple of days ago!! But if it's Saturday it must be time for another challenge at Totally Gorjuss. This week we would like to see pink and green on your card or project. That's not too difficult is it?

This week I've made a wedding card and I think it will fit a few challenges. I am also going to send it to Domi who is getting married to Uli on the 15th of May. I hope they have a lovely day. I was married on the 13th of May more years ago than I want to remember lol!

Sweet Princess!

Hi everyone I'm having a spot of deja vu here. I've already written most of this post and then it vanished. I'm not a happy bunny as you can imagine as I have lots to do!! I've made this card this morning in spite of the fact that I need to get 2 DT cards made lol! But I've been wanting to use this sweet princess.

I've used :-
Image :- Princess Tilda.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Colouring :- Promarkers, Sakura clear glitter gel pen.
Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
DP :- Papermania rose garden.
Stickles.
Pearls :- the Hobby House.
Glittery gems, ribbons and charm from stash.
I'm going to enter a few challenges with this card :-
Just Magnolia :- Anything goes.
Totally Papercrafts :- 4 embellishments, 3 papers, 2 ribbons and 1 image.
Stamp Something :- Charm/s.
Friday Sketchers :- Sketch.
I hope I've got the 4 embellishments part right for Totally Papercrafts. I'm a bit confused about whether it is 4 of one embellishment or 4 different embellishments. So I've used 4 pearls and 4 jewels. But as well as these 2 embellishments I've also got flowers and a charm ie 4 different embellishments.
Now I'd best get on with my DT cards. I always mean to be organised earlier in the week but somehow it never happens. I was really looking forward to having the day off next Monday for the bank holiday but somehow I think I'm going to be busy doing other things like decorating lol!
Hope you're all having a lovely day. Here it is really nice but apparently the weather will be back to normal tomorrow!

Just Magnolia 51.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope it's better than the morning has been!

Started off ok! I was just innocently emptying the dishwasher when disaster struck. I picked up a glass and the next thing it was in a thousand pieces all over the dishwasher and the floor. Of course the dogs were in the kitchen too. As you may know Lucy is blind and deaf so the only bits that really work properly are the nose and the mouth and they are usually on the floor. So I had to move pretty smartly and get them out of the disaster area, feed them and get them outside. Luckily my kitchen is quite big so after a quick sweep I could make and eat my breakfast. I had to go over to work to finish my weekly post office balance. Needless to say the glass and dog hair (Labrador is very helpfully casting just now!) was still in a pile when I went out. I also wanted to post my nephew's birthday present while I was out so then I managed to rip the paper just as I was about to put on the last piece of sellotape. Lucky cufflinks only make a very small parcel so I still had plenty of paper. I was hoping before I went out that one small cut would count as three things going wrong otherwise I would have been a bit nervous about going out in the car lol!

So I came back to sweep the floor...twice, then hoover it and rinse the dishwasher...twice. I even had bits out of the dishwasher that I didn't know came out lol! I just hate the idea of broken glass anywhere. Especially in the dishwasher. And I always worry about the dogs poor wee paws. So in spite of the fact that I was up about 6.30am as usual I didn't manage to sit down at the computere till about 11am. Didn't see my emails yesterday so I had to delete about 50 of them unread. I really hate the way these nutheads send out all that rubbish in the hope someone will be daft enough to open it and read it. Then I had a quick look at some blogs before starting this.

If anyone is still with me I'd best get onto my card lol! I made it the other day along with the one for my nephew but didn't post it as I was short of time and the ones I've posted already were more urgent.

I did the Just Magnolia blog hop recently and wanted to make a card to enter this weeks challenge. This week there is a lovely sketch to follow and the theme is "thank you." I also wanted to enter the Magnolia Down Under challenge who want to see masking on our cards. And the challenge over at One Stitch at a Time is also "thank you."


I used :-
Images :- Tilda and a tree stump.
DP :- Papermania rose garden.
Colouring :- Promarkers and Sakura clear glitter gel pen.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
Pearls :- Hobby House.
Ribbon from Stash.
Nesties.
I think that's it and I'm off to make a start to my DT cards after my lunch. My daughter gets the keys to her flat tomorrow so I feel a spot of decorating coming on. Not something I'm very good at unfortunately.

Pretty Magnolia.

Hello everyone. I feel as if I haven't posted for ages! I was going to go to Papercrafts in Elgin, the home of Sugar Nellies, with my friend today. Notice the "was"! Because of the snow and high winds everywhere in Scotland earlier this week we decided it would be better to postpone our trip for a couple of weeks. So instead I've made sure I had my DT cards done and my posts scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. I'll be away visiting my daughter and her family at the weekend so I thought it would be better if I got myself organised now.

But I really wanted to make a card just for a couple of challenges, so here it is.

I used:-

DP :- K& Co.
Image :- Magnolia.
Colouring :- Promarkers plus Sakura clear glitter gel pen.
Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts, sprayed with Tattered rose Glimmer Mist.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards edged with Promarker.
Stickles, jewels and nesties.
Faux stitching with American Crafts Precision pen.
Challenges entered:-
Just Magnolia :- Sketch.
Magnolia Down Under. :- Stitching.
Now I need to do some work on my name hanging for Oliver and put the finishing touches to his and Poppy's Easter cards.
See you all soon.

She's so pretty!

Good afternoon everyone and what a miserable one it is too. It's been a horrible day here....misty, wet....just nasty. But never mind I've spent time doing what I like best...crafting....at least I have this afternoon. This morning I checked out my favourite blogs and caught up with my DT commenting. I meant to make a start on my DT cards too. Well I've stamped out an image for one of them!

But I really wanted to do one for the Just Magnolia challenge as I love easel cards. I meant to make one that would fit some spring challenges but now that it's finished I'm not sure that it's spring-like at all!

I used the lovely sketch from the Totally Papercrafts challenge and the colours from the Sophisticat challenge which are mint, lilac and one other colour plus flowers. My other colour is pink.

There are a couple of Spring challenges that I'd like to enter too :-
Allsorts and the Secret Crafter challenge. I hope this card is ok for these 2 challenges!


This second picture doesn't really add anything but I thought you might like to see the rain on my conservatory window. The only one sitting in there today is my Labrador. She has taken over a chair....which of course no-one else wants to sit on now lol!!


Oops forgot to tell you what I used to make this card!

Image :- Magnolia.
DP :- K&Co.
Colouring :- Promarkers.
Sentiment and card candy :- Craftwork Cards.
Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
I also used Stickles, Sakura clear gel pen and clear glitter gel pen and ribbon from stash.

I'm off to feed the dogs now and take them for a walk before tea. Hopefully I'll be back later with another card.

Pretty in Pink.

Hello everyone hope you've all had a good day. We've had a lovely day here though it's a bit dull now. Tomorrow is supposed to be not so nice but it's my day off anyway and I need to get busy!

I've used one of my favourite Magnolias to make this card for a few challenges. I hurried to take a photo in daylight while waiting for my Tesco order. The driver was on the phone twice.....lost...he'd never been here before! I see now that it's not a good photo after all. It is all matted on a nice pearlescent pale pink but the lacy strip, cut out with my beautiful new Martha Stewart punch doesn't look very pink to me!



DP :- Cloud 9.
Image :- Magnolia.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Colouring :- Promarkers, Sakura glitter gel pen and clear gel pen.
Punches :- Marth Stewart lace and butterfly.
Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
Stickles.


I'm hoping to enter some challenges with this card:-
Charisma Cardz :- Beautiful butterflies.
Just Magnolia :- Sketch.
Magnolia Down Under :- Birthday card.
Totally Papercraft :- Wings.
Magical Crafts :- Things with wings.



Magnolia Down Under have been having a blog hop and the DT all have candy so it would be good to support them by taking part in the blog hop. I've done it and they have some gorgeous creations so why don't you pop over for a look and take part if you have time.

Best get going now and get these challenges entered. Might just have time to have my tea before I go to the WRI. Tonight we have our own little show and a speaker from "Mercy Ships."

See you all tomorrow,
