Monsters and Aliens

Hello peeps,

I don't know about you but I love the film Monsters and Aliens, the alien is soooooo funny.

One day while in Sirstampalot, I wish I could remember why I said "what the Flagnar" which if you have seen the film makes a lot of sense(I am not totally sure how to spell it!!!!), so of course Janice and Andy asked me to explain what I meant, so long story nearly short they watched the film.

Most of the people I know in blogland are local and have been to Sirstampalot but for those who have never been, you have to buzz to get in the shop and if Andy happens to answer the buzz he always says "Hail Gallaxhar"(again from the film) before letting me in........ So when I saw these stamps I had to make a card based as much as I could on monsters and aliens and obviously the characters are Janice and Andy.

So after an epic explanation here goes and oh yes another double easel its all your fault sara ! you have unleashed a double easel monster :)

The stamps I used areSuper Hero Edwin

Rocket ship

Moon

Astronaut Tilda

The paper is October Afternoon: Incoming Transmission

Distress Ink: Weathered wood

Well that's it for now Hail Gallaxhar!!!!!

Football Crazy

Hello fellow groovers,

I have been naughty, I have been crafting and not blogging. Every time I finished a card I couldnt put my copics down I had to start another.

Do you know that feeling, you cant get anything else done until you get the card finished thats in your head?

I had to force myself to sit down and download and sort my photos when I got in from work today, and I promised myself just one posted by bedtime, I just love love love the new magnolias.

I have a lot of friends who play, watch and love football so when I saw these stamps I just had to have em :)

I currently live in Peterborough, but I moved here from Norwich a few years ago so I am a Norwich girl at heart so I just had to use the Norwich City colours...........

Plus I forgot to mention I have a little obsession with double easel cards at the mo

Spending spree

Hello fellow groovers,
One of my best friends birthdays is just two days after mine, and we always get together on or near our birthdays to celebrate normally with a shopping spree and then a meal out.
Of course this year is the same, so I themed her birthday card with a couple of Magnolia stamps I love and have used for so many cards.
The idea for the double easel card came from a lady I met on sunday who had made the most amazing cards called Sara, I apologise I forgot to get her blog details, hopefully next time I blog.
Plus a huge thank you to Fleur for recommending Photoscape to edit photos, its brilliant the only problem I had was I spent 2 hours playing with the effects instead of blogging last night lol.
So here goes

The stamps I used are:Tilda goes Shopping

Boutique Shop Window

Paper:Bo Bunny Island mist double dot & Coffee journal

Martha stewart Cherish punch

Glossy Accents

Sakura Clear star gelly roll pen

For the copics:
