Birthday card for Rob

This is the card I made for my Son-in-Law, who lives in New Zealand.  He lives in a very, very busy household, with 3 young boys.  I think he would appreciate getting the chance to sit down with a beer and put his feet up!!  who knows, maybe he will manage it for his birthday at least!

This image is from Mo Manning and is coloured with promarkers.

I am entering this into the following  challenge.
Simply create Too - #79 Anything goes

My energy levels are really  low today, so I am going to put my own feet up for a while! lol!  

Take care and see you soon!

Love is in the air

It's Valentine's Day once again.  We decided not to give each other present's this year, but I still made a card for my Chubby Hubby.

I recently discovered images by Rick St. Dennis on Etsy and I immediately fell in love!

His  images are just so different and they contain so much detail. 

The image on the front of my card is called Morning Goddess True Sexxy

 I like this image as I think she looks a bit like me.  She is a curvy lady and she has blonde hair the same length as mine!!

 This was the wording in the inside of the card.  Explaining to him, that whilst I would like to look like the first lady in the mornings, I actually resembled the 2nd lady.

 and this lovely lady is called Morning Goddess Deb I hate Mr Alarm Clock

This images sums me up perfectly, as I hate getting up in the mornings, and it is best that you don't speak to me for a while! LOL!! 
I am entering this image into the 
  Sparkles Challenge. which is #64 One for the Boys

I think the front of my card fits the bill perfectly!! 
I am also entering it into the challenge at
 Allsorts Challenge Blogspot
Week 298 Anything but a Birthday 

Anniversary Card

Hello from a snowy Perthshire!

It is so cold  brrrrrrrrrr

A nice day for sitting crafting though!

I am entering the following card into a few challenges.  

This card was made as a commission for an anniversary card.

I made a stepper card on this occasion.

 I used chalks to make a cloud background and stamped a swallow. 

The papers are form K and Co.,

I wanted to make it fairly simple, and just added one flower and a sentiment which I thought was very apt for an anniversary.

"The heart that loves is always young" 

so, on to the challenges.

The challenge #246 at Mo's Digital Challenge is 

Anything Goes with the option of something warm.

I believe love keeps us warm, especially a love 

that has been going strong for many, many years.

The challenge #194 at Party Time Tuesdays is Anything Goes

and finally 

over at Crafting From the Heart challenge #44 is also Anything Goes!!

I'm away to do some more colouring.

If you do stop here for a wee look, please leave a comment,

Art by Miran Challenge #23

Hello from a very cold St Madoes, Scotland!!!

I have started the new year full of big intentions.  I have joined Kit and Clowder Colouring classes, and I have been tidying out my Craft Room, as it was becoming difficult to even see the floor!!

I'm needing a break right now, so I am entering a couple of challenges.

I only came across Art by Miran images a wee while ago, and I love her images.  Yet another place for me to spend my pennies groan!! lol!!!  

I kept the card quite simple, and just added a wee bit of sparkle to the snowflakes.  You can't really see that on the photo unfortunately. 

 I used my Promarkers

Snowflakes cut from Spellbinder die

Sentiment by Lilli of the Valley

Card is Core-dinations

Paper is from stash.

The First Challenge I am entering with this card is

#23 Anything Goes on Art by Miran blogspot
and the second is
#194 Anything Goes at Party Time Tuesdays Challenge 

I'm off to e-mail some photos to my Sister now, and then I will tackle another box in this craft room!  Have fun and please become a follower if you stop for a look.

Happy New year

Happy New Year Everyone!!  It is a New year, and I have a New Resolution 

1: To Blog at least once a week

2: To spend more time colouring

So here we go 1st Blog of the New Year

This is the Scrapbook Layout which was my Design Team layout
 for Issue 83 of Scrapbook Magazine

It was based on a sketch which I have desperately tried to upload here, but for some reason, it gives me an error every time.

This is my layout

This is a wee close-up

We had a wonderful photo session in the Bluebell Woods.  Jackson was so good, and was a perfect wee model.  Here is another photo from that day. It was wonderful and I was so pleased with the photographs which photographer Ruth Trotter took for me..

Jackson and Mumted who goes everywhere with him.  I love the way he just decided to give her a cuddle.

Have to go now, thanks for stopping and having a look, please become a follower, and please come back real soon.

I will also be appearing  in Issue 86 of Scrapbook Magazine, so watch this space!!

Party Time Tuesday Challenge #190

I have not been blogging in a while, life caught me up and just wouldn't let go!!!  I'm now determined to get more me time, and I will be blogging every week for definite now!  So, without any more ado, the challenge at Party Time Tuesdays is

#190 Anything Goes

I have chosen this card, which was one I gave to my Team Leader Tracy at work.  I desperately wanted to cut down to 4 days work a week, and HR to begin with, would have none of it.  She pleaded my case, and succeeded in getting me working one day less. 

 I had to send her a nice card to say Thank You as I was so relieved. So from now on, Tuesday is my day off and that is my crafting Day! Woopee!!!

I used an image from Mo Manning.  I know that Tracy loves her dog, so thought this was perfect.

As usual it was coloured with ProMarkers

Paper from Nitwits

Flowers, Stamen and silver corner from Wild Orchid Crafts

Right, I am off to do some more crafting!! I will be back soon!
