Red Squirrel

This was a wee bit difficult to make into a card but fortunately the lady liked what I did. She just loves watching the red squirrels outside her window. Was difficult to decoupage cos I had a problem seeing the 'obvious' cutting lines! Oooooo sometimes I just think I think too much about things instead of getting on with it!! lol.

Martha Stewart punch again for the edge of the layers. 

Thanks for looking.

Happy New Year .......

So sorry am so late with my New Year wishes but just don't seem to have had a mo to myself  lately.  Anyway... am here now and after posting this will be off admiring all your blog updates ahve missed recently.

 

My OH saw this pic and it reminded him of a a horse loving friend who died recently so he asked me to make it into a card for his friend's wife. Cut out 3 and decoupaged so the horse does actually look as if it's nose is coming over the fence towards you. Well it does IRL but a bit difficult to show in a photo! lol Martha Stewart punch for edge.

So a Happy New Year to you all. Hope it's a guid yin.

Thanks for looking.

Merry Christmas and .....

Hope you all have a great time with your family & friends and that Santa is good to you. Also wish you a happy, healthy & prosperous New Year.

See you next year.

Pink Gorjuss Birthday Girl

Apologies for the photo but find it so difficult in the winter days. Coloured the Gorjuss girl with my water pencils & cut her out with Nestabilities & added some bling to make it more girly for the 9 year old it's going to.

Used Martha Stewart edge punch on bottom edge. Sentiment printed direct to card.

Thanks for looking.

Not Christmas! Wey Hey!!

Sorry! What a bad blogger I've been but I have a great excuse. lol. Was soooooo behind with my Christmas cards just had to get on with them. {*rolls eyes to ceiling*}

Have popped in to visit you all when have been logged on but that hasn't been that often.

Hooray! Have finished my Christmas cards and now doing my birthday cards to keep me up to date through to January cos I really need to pack up all my stash and clear my dining room table for Christmas dinner! Ha ha. Although my 79 year old Mum thinks if I run out of time she could eat her dinner from a lap tray! As if!!

I made 2 of the easel cards for my nieces' birthdays. Forgot was going to use Promarkers & stamped them on wrong card. Doh! My how they bleed. Used Martha Stewart edge punch and my new Nellie Snellen dies for the raised sentiment as well as the image. Miss Anya stamp is from the 'Rain Snow Shine' set from The Greeting Farm. Sentiment was printed direct to card. Flat backed gems from stash.

Thanks for looking.

Seasonal Bleatings ....

Apologies for being absent from Blogland for so long but so much to do, so little time. You know what I mean. Have been having a peak at all your blogs when I could ... just didn't manage to update my own. Was in Edinburgh for a long weekend at my sister's. Went to see 'We Will Rock You' while there. Fantastic show!

When I saw this little lamb on Jak's Blog I just knew I wanted to give it a go. Don't you just love Shaun the Sheep. He's sooooo cute! Thanks Jak.

This is all punched shapes or Nestabilities Circles but didn't have a teardrop for his ears so I used the petal from a flower punch. Embossed with Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder. Added some Stickles here & there which shows up blue in photos but isn't irl! My photography is rubbish as usual. Sorry. Since am so late with making Christmas cards this year could be loads of little 'Season's Bleatings' running around!

Thanks for looking.

My first colouring with Promarkers....

Please be kind ......this is my first attempt at colouring with Promarkers. I've only got a few till I see how I get on with them so colours a wee bit limited.

Got the digital image from this blog Sandra Dry. Used my nesties for the sentiment and the embellishments on the front. The red backing paper is actually from a gents store carrier bag. Was HUGE so have had plenty recycling use from it. Was also desperate to try an easel style card.

Any constructive comments regarding my colouring would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for looking.

Golden Wedding Anniversary this time ....

Hope you don't get bored with the same but different if you see what I mean. Was a special request and just couldn't say no, although don't tend to make many cards for other peeps, 'specially this time of year when still haven't even started my Christmas cards!  This is so easy to make. Hope you like it.

Why does the gold card look black in some pics? I promise you it's the same card. lol

Thanks for looking.
