Tatty button...

One of my best stamps is this tatty button one... I know they are not everyone's cup of tea but i love them




I coloured her with my promarkers and then mounted the image onto a piece of card that i have used my round the page martha stewart punch on. I am a huge fan of these punches and the next craft show i go to i will definitely be coming back with more!!!

I love this digi image from bugaboo which i coloured with my promarkers (of course), pretty backing papers was from a swap and the flowers are prima ones from my stash with a felt flower in the middle attached together with a flower brad. This card would cheer me up with the lovely bright colours.

What a little cutie...

I just love this little cute stamp from rose studios...i don't usually like anything with wings on but i shall make an exception for this one. Backing papers are from trimmie swaps...thanks guys and the ribbon flower was also a swap. I made the card to enter into a challenge over at trimcraft. It is a sketch challenge from Rozzy (she likes to keep us all creative) lol. Of course i used my beloved promarkers (but only a few) and then added some glamour dust to finish it off.

Card and Tag....

Good morning followers....over on the trimcraft forum we organise lots of lovely swops and this time i have taken part in a "tag swap" organised by Kim.




I have made this tag and card this morning using my Personal Impressions stamp set "vintage sewing". The background was made using a stamp from an old artimpressions stamp, i have added some fabby ribbon i bought from trimcraft and then embossed the sewing machine with disco black embossing powder, added a few buttons and there you have it. I am really hoping that my swap partner loves both the card and the tag.

Challenges for this one

Poodles Parlour...anything goes
Papertake Weekly..Eyes down...(i used buttons ribbons free line)
Craft room challenge...white on white

Have a fantastic weekend, i am off to make a wedding later today so keeping my fingers crossed that the sun shines!!!

I have made so many friends through blogland that i feel you should all have one, so if you are a follower of mine please take one of these awards and know that it is given with love and thanks.

altered art!!!!!

don't know about altered art but a couple of weeks ago i went out with hubby for a walk and on the way back we called in at Chatsworth and had a delicious cream scone. The jam came in these 2 little pots so i re-cycled them in a different way!!!

I painted the tops with 2 coats of acrylic paint and then found some black peel-offs to decorate the jars. I am shortly going to be changing my craft room to a black and white trendy affair so thought these would be perfect for my charms etc

So next time you have a cream tea (i had one yesterday with my friend Elke but the jam came in paper pots) save the jars for your craft stash..

Enjoy the rest of your day

One of my favourtie stamps...

Yes another card with another LOTV stamp...did i mention that i just love them!!!! lol

i have used my promarkers again to colour the image, and the fiddly bits i got to try out my new fine tips(do i like them? would i recommend them?) yes i would they get into all the little spaces and crevices. I bought 3 more yesterday from the craft shop at Byrkely Garden Centre and at only 50p each...bargain.., i have used some of my mind's eye papers, they are just so scrummy and a lovely little press stud thing i bought from Derby Market a while ago.

I will be posting another one of these later today once i have finished it..so do pop back and have a peep

A Spoon Full of Sugar....Happy Birthday

Just a quickie piccie for youuuuuuuuuu....

Over at trimcraft we arrange various swaps throughout the year and this month it was "goodie bags". One of my favourite swaps and my swop partner this time was Happy Bunny Cards...Natalie and she sent me some super scrummy goodies to play with and a lovely image.

I coloured the image in using my promarkers and then as i wasn't sure what to do with the hat pins i have pushed them through the image to make them look as though they are part of her tiara!!! I loved the little pearlised stars too!!!

challenges for her to show off her dance routine are...
