****!!***?

Help,
I am still trying to comment on everyones blog and having no luck, but I can see comments appearing on blogs!!??
I want to also say thank you for the lovely comments I have had on mine, is there a trick I am missing, I still keep going through that constant loop of trying to log in.........
If anyone knows the answer please let me know.
Plus I forgot to post my first project from the craft stamper, nothing to get too excited about I loved the idea of the distress inks colour samples.
You really can't tell how much sanding and distress inking there is on the cover, you will just have to believe me he he :)

A bit dotty

Hello fellow groovers,
Its official I have been reading craft stamper far too much and I have been having a go at a couple of projects and ideas I have picked up from there just to get my mojo back in action.

Fancy a trip?

Hello fellow groovers,
Sorry I haven't blogged for a while, unfortunately work has taken up a lot of my time recently.
Good news I managed two whole days of crafting at the weekend, it was heaven.
I know my first card is very simple but I just loved the new car stamp from magnolia and I couldn't resist doing a bit of a beach theme with an old Tilda, the whole thing with the paper screamed 60s to me.


Stamps Used:Surf Tilda
The paper is stamping up
I used Bellas Baubles Diamond ice on the hub caps.
Of course a bit of glossy accents on the surf board and windscreen.
Copics Used
Browns:E44,E43,E42,E41,E40
Creams:E53,E51, E50
Blue greens:BG78,BG75,BG72
I hope you like it

Hi Guys and girls,
Well last week I managed to make another card and the only night I had time to get on and blog to my horror Blogger was closed for maintenance you could hear my nooooooooooooo across all of Peterborough.
I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it on the Sirstampalot blog, so you know how it goes I just had to have it ;)


Josephine cuddling her pet cat Kiki
The papers are from my stash one is basic grey and the other is a Ladybug paper, but I am not sure of the names.

Browns: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40
Skin: E02, E00, E000, E0000 and for the blush R20

Something Simple

Hello fellow groovers,
I think I have my mojo back, well a little !!!!
I just love the new Kaiser craft wooden flourishes, they fell into my basket when I saw them at Sirstampalot.
My favourite has to be the Dress Form, so I thought it would make a great feature on a friends birthday card.

The text stamp is from my collection I took out of the packet so I dont know what it is I am sorry :(
