Something sweet

Hi Guys and Gals,
Where does the time go, I promised myself I would catch up and blog all the cards I have been making after my last blog and what happened well.......
Its all Lisa Maybanks fault she makes the most amazing scrapbooks and she has got me hooked on Graphic 45 paper, so I have been playing making my own scrapbooks, as well as being inspired by Lisa herself I started the rocky road of searching inspiration from Youtube, I have lost hours of my life watching tutorials!! I just can't resist having a quick look before I blog then the next thing I know its time for bed.
Its been that bad my Sky planner is 95% full, so I promised myself at least one post this week, and I must finish a cheeky little Easter project I am making for Sirstampalot :0)
So here it is

The stamps I used are:Tilda with big icecream, venice, Postcard,  and New York all from Magnolia and of course from Sirstampalot

I used a Doohickey Romantic Lace

The copics I used are:

Pink RV10, RV00, RV000, RV0000

Hair E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Skin E11, E02, E00, E000, E0000 and R20 for blush

Cream E53, E51, E50

 

So I am now off to try and clear the Sky planner and finish my crafty projects have a fab sunday

Hugs

A little bit of colour

Hi Guys and Gals,
I know its about time, I am sorry I have had a bit of time to craft but just couldn't seem to get round to blogging about it.
I have Janice at Sirstampalot to thank to get me back into it, she gave me a fab new Tilda to play with called Poppy Tilda who is only available at Sirstamp, and some papers and made me promise to blog my card. So you will see its not my normal colour palette but I love the stamp she is soooo cute and it was nice to push myself out of my comfort zone.
I hope you like it and I will try and get back in the swing of it with a few more posts soon.

 

The Stamp I used is Poppy Tilda

The Papers are Bo Bunny Country garden Vines, and Country Garden Cut outs

M.I.A and Sirstampalot demo day

Hello fellow groovers,
Just a very quick post, I am so sorry I have been missing in action, unfortunately in August my Dad passed away very unexpectedly.
So life has been very upside down and I had lost my mojo, luckily its back and I promise to start blogging some of my creations very soon.
But I just wanted to share I am so excited its the Sirstampalot Demo Day on the 27th October, all my favourite girlies are on there showing their talents on the day.
I will be there and I hope to see loads of you there for crafty fun :)
Hugs for now

A lady of the night...?!

Hi guys and girlies,
Wow doesn't time fly when you have new crafting goodies to play with, I don't think I have had a night without copic stains on my fingers for the last couple of weeks.
I feel I ought to explain this card a little, the stamp made me think of my friends when we were younger.
I come from Norwich and there is a fab little cobbled area next to the Cathedral called Tombland that has some pubs and restaurants, in the summer there was a fab pub that used to put tables and chairs outside, so the plan was to recreate that memory of sitting outside having a drink on a sunny evening.
However when I finished I thought she looked a bit like a lady sitting outside in Amsterdam if you know what I mean......!
I got the idea for the pop up from the latest magnolia mag and got carried away and did both sides. I will blog the other side in a scheduled post later.
I should warn you a huge list of goodies on this one I got very carried away with my masking !
So here she is

The stamps I used are  Tilda in Havanna, Cafe Chair, French Tea Party, Boutique window

I made the border along the front of the card out of a Heart swirl branch joined together

I also used Cheery Lynn Anastasia border and Cheery Lynn Lace corner 

The copics I used are

Browns: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Pinks:RV95, RV34, RV32, RV10, RV00, RV000

Greens: G00, G000

Yellows:Y000, Y0000

Skin: E02, E00, E000, E0000 and R20 for blush

Well that's it for this side of the card I hope you like it

Hugs

Mandy
