About Me

My photo
Perth, Perthshire, United Kingdom
Welcome to my little corner of the World! I live in Perthshire Scotland with my wonderful husband Eric. We have a daughter, Corinne who is married to Rob and lives in New Zealand, with their boys Harrison and twins Hadley and Dylan. Marie who has a wee boy Jackson, and Greg and his wife Kim, their wee girl Freya, even smaller baby boy Freddie and dog Buddy. I am happy when I am in my craft room, and I love making cards for Charity and also for commissions. I love scrapbooking, and I get my inspiration from my Grandchildren. They are the subjects in most of my Scrapbooking layouts. I have just started to do Mixed Media work, and I am loving it!! I have just started a craft group at our local Church centre, aptly called Saints and Scissors Club! If you can't find me, I will be in my craft room, buried under tons of stash lol!

Creatalicious Challenges #229

 

Hello again!  I hope you are well and staying safe.  It is really cold here in St Madoes, and we keep being told that snow is on the way, but so far, touch wood, it has stayed away.

It is time for another challenge at Creatalicious Challenges  The theme is Anything Goes, with the option of doing your own background.  

For my background, I used a honeycomb stencil and I also stamped some wee bees all over, colouring them with Promarkers. 


It isn't easy to see on my pic, but the big bee's wings are acetate and lift off the page. 

 The stamps are from Pink Ink, a brand I only discovered recently.  


So, now, it is over to you!  Have a look on the Creatalicious Challenges Blog at the other Design Team Member's Cards to get some inspiration and get your own card on there!

Creatalicious Challenges #228

 Hello again!

How are things in your part of the world? 

 It is cold  and windy here with more storms forecast.

  I hate winter!!

Over at Creatalicious Challenges the challenge is to create a card with the theme of love.

  It will soon be Valentine's Day after all!

I have chosen a card I made showing an elderly couple, who are very obviously still very much in love.  



I simply adore this image. Mo Manning has excelled yet again.  They just look so sweet, don't they?  I kept the decoration simple, so the main focus was on the coloured image.  

This was coloured using my Promarkers, and I coloured the clouds using chalks.


Well, that's me for now, I'll hopefully be back really soon.

Take care till then!
