For a friend

I made this card for a special blogging friend of mine and now she has opened it I can share it with you. When posting I noticed the charm is at an interesting angle but of course I can't rephotograph it now so you will have to forgive that.

Feeling poorly?

Sorting through my never used printed digi images I came across some of Chester from Pollycraft. These are now available at Little Miss Muffet. I am trying to boost my stock of different occasion cards so you may well see more get well cards cropping up soon.

Maurice!

Dear Maurice hasn't had an outing for a while so when I was sorting out my images to colour I cam across this one printed off and decided to colour him in Norwich City colours. Not my favourite colour combo but that is the colour of the local team and they always sell well.

I've mastered the fun flock

Another Christmas card today and another one I printed a long time ago. I love using the fun flock but it is a bit lumpy but I have finally mastered the technique. I spread it on and then kept flattening it until the lumps all flatten out, shake off the excess and it leaves a lovely fluffy fur look.

Raindrops keep falling

What a week for weather, some sun, lots of cloud and some dismal rain and it has turned rather chilly too. This little cutie seemed rather appropriate to colour. I went for lovely cheerful colours, she looks quite happy in the rain doesn't she.

I am looking forward to catching up with chat and a scrapbooking day today as my good friend Lynsey is coming over. It is ages since I did any scrapbooking so really looking forward to it.

It's that man again!

This is the last of the three cards I made for Making Cards using Mauric images from Little Miss Muffet. I have used this image several times as it has proven to be very popular. A great image for a camera lover.

Hubby is off out midmorning and won't be back until later this evening as he is volunteering driving one of the rescue boats at the powerboat meeting. Being a bank holiday it is a big meeting and as regular readers will know it doesn't interest me at all and it is going to pour with rain all day so I will mainly be in my craft room today.

I caught a fish

This is the second of three Maurice cards I made for Making Cards magazine. These are such great images. They were originally from Pollycraft but now available at Little Miss Muffet. Maurice has been coloured with Copics and the papers are LOTV Country Gent. Sentiment tickets are also LOTV, ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and I added a large button and baker's twine and glossy accents to his glasses of course.

I didn't sleep very well Sunday night and was up early yesterday to get to the hospital for my craft stall. So last night I was very tired and went to bed at 10pm. Even too tired to look at iPad very much so hoping to catch up on some commenting today.

Good Luck Lynsey

I made this 5" square card to send to Lynsey to wish her good luck for her first half marathon last Sunday. She only started running a few months ago and has done incredibly well. I can't imagine walking that far all at once never mind run.

I really enjoyed trying out a cas style for this card.

Yes it's Maurice with his camera again. Somebody saw the card I made last month o my Facebook page and asked if I could make her one with a blue shirt. She said the image was perfect for somebody whose Birthday is this month so I hope he likes it.

This has to be one of my most used images which is ironic as I don't like football. Maurice is such a great character and so good for male cards. I thought I would make him a bit trendy by giving him bleached jeans using my blender on top of the Copics.

Bronson and Beaker

As soon as I saw the challenge at Little Miss Muffet I knew I wanted to use a Pollycraft bear and my lovely new birch tree dies. I chose to make a non traditional coloured Christmas card.  Although Little Miss Muffet stock a lot of Pollycraft digis sadly I couldn't find any Bronson and Beaker images in store.

I am having my hair cut this morning, just a trim and need to do some shopping so will catch you later.

Thank goodness for the blender pen!

I was determined to make at least one Christmas card this week, hopefully more than one. I had this digi printed in my folder and I don't know what card I used but not my usual Diamond White from The Papeterie that's for sure. The image almost ended up in the bin as first the green bled and then the red. I used the blender pen and at first it made it worse. Thankfully I managed to save it and very cute they look.

I couldn't resist buying the second collection of Lil Dimpling digis from Pollycraft as these children are just sooooo cute and here is my first Halloween card. I have 3 craft fairs in October so I am thought I had better make some Halloween cards just in case. They are also such fun to make and these images are lovely to colour. I have no idea why some images are so much more fun to colour than others.
