Where Have All The Years Gone!

Good Afternoon, it's a beautiful sunny day here in the Northern Isles and it's quite warm too.  My card to share today is the one I made for my eldest daughters 40th birthday today.  The image is from a Kanban Set - jasper and coloured with promarkers, the backing paper is a pale yellow polka dot that I have inked with Dried Marigold DI then overstamped with small images from the same stamp set.  The yellow cardstock came from my stash and did the flower and ribbon.  The sentiment is computer generated and the number is a Cuttlebug Alphabet.

I followed Sketch No 82  from Sketch and Stash, the new element is the stamps and neglected is the backing paper, I have had it for ages. I am also entering my card into this week's Make it Monday


I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting today

Coffee and Cream

Good Evening all, I have actually managed to get my Less is More card made on the first day of the challenge this week.  Chrissie and Mandi have asked us to use Neutral Colours this week. My base card is Brown Tapestry, I have used Cream Tapestry card for the butterfly and sentiment.  The butterfly is a Cuttlebug Die and matching embossing folder.  The ribbon and gold beads are from my stash and the sentiment in computer generated.

Many thanks for your visit today and I would be delighted if you leave me a comment

Happy Birthday

Good Afternoon, sorry I've not been around for a few days again but my mojo seems to have departed and I'm struggling to get motivated about anything at the moment.   It's my eldest daughters 40th next Monday and I have got absolutely no idea about her card, which needs to be in the post by tomorrow at the latest.  

I have just thrown this card together for this week's Less is More Challenge which this week is Don't Scrap It - use up some of our offcuts and snippets.  The sentiment image is from Papermania, coloured with Promarkers,  all of the cardstock, including the card itself has come from scrap boxes, the ribbon I found at the bottome of my ribbon box.

Many thanks for visiting today

Special Delivery

Good Afternoon, it a lovely sunny day here but, the wind is awful and apparentally going to get even stronger. My card to share today is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Dogs, in recognition of  Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day.  My image is a digi stamp from the new cd from Just Inlined - The Next Big Thing.  There a masses of digi stamps on this cd plus a fair bit of other goodies too.  I'm not particularly good at colouring and have always found animals the most difficult. I have used Promarkers with the fine nibs attached and just drawn lots of little thin lines all over the image with three different colours.  The backing paper is Cuddly Buddley the green and yellow card is Papermania, I stamped Happy Birthday onto the envelope, finished off with Card Candy and the sentiment is computer generated.

Thank you for visiting today

Birdsong

Good Afternoon, well I have had another go at a Tag for DragonsDream Tag it On this week, where the theme is from the book Birdsong.  I've not read this one, so I have just gone for the Bird.  I coloured the tag with Weathered Wood and Peeled Paint Distress Ink, the sentiment, flowers and bird are all Chocolate Baroque stamps and the group of birds is a Clarity Stamp.  I am not really sure about this, think I should have used a lighter ink for the reeds, flowers and bull rushes.  I coloured the bird with  Promarkers

A Second Post

Well I must be feeling better as I'm back with a second card today.  That's the first time I have made more than one card in day since last year.  This one is for the CD Sunday Challenge - Wings and Legs.  The image and backing paper are from Debbi Moore's Garden Fairies CD, I put some Stickles Stardust on the wings, the flower was made with my Spellbinders Daisy Die, the sentment was stamped and the ribbon from my stash.

Thank you so much for visiting

Happily Ever After

Good Afternoon, sorry I've not been  around much this week, the dizzy spells have been quite bad again.  But, I finally got my ENT appointment yesterday.  The clinic was running very late, I had to wait an hour, but it was worth it.  I got to see the consultant and he diagnosed Positional Vertigo and did the Eply Maneuver three times, it worked really well and I feel better today than I have been feeling since Christmas.  I may have to go to Aberdeen  to have this done again, because the ENT people only come to the islands once every two or three months, but it will be worth it.

Any hoo, on to my card.  This is for the challenge at Less is More, which this week is to use our punches and die cuts.  I have used circle nesties and the lovely new Memory Box heart dies.  I bought these because I have been asked to make some wedding samples and I thought this heart set would be quite good for that.  The backing card is Papermania Shimmer, the sentiment is from a Woodware Clear wedding set and cut with Spellbinders Just Rite Sentiment tags.  I think this is the first card since Christmas that I have managed to make without any snags at all.

I am also entering my card into this week's Make it Monday Challenge, I was thrilled to bits that my Damsel Fly card was picked as feature  entry of the week for last week's challenge.

Thank you some much for visiting and leaving me such lovely comments, they really do mean so much
