Good Morning everyone. I paid my first visit of the year yesterday to Suzicraft and it was lovely to see everyone and catch up on there holiday stories. It was lovely to see Jimbo there as I only found out that she has had a heart attack but on the mend we hope. Tom of course told us all about his visit to C&C. He was on top form as usual taking the mick out of everyone particularly little Joan. While I was there I couldnt resist getting the fairy stenscape and frame. When I came home I had a play and this is the result. First time as well. I used the brighter shades of Distress inks for the frame and Seedles Grapes and Dusty Concord for the mask.
If you werent lucky enough to get one of these ring Suzicraft and get one ordered. tom is going to be working overtime to keep everyone supplied with there goodies.

ANOTHER ROCKER!

Another rocker card. Well I couldnt not do one when I had so many wonderful masks to play with. I thought this lent itself to a rocker as I think the image is a young one and I always think of little people when I make a rocker although a lot of my rockers were with adult images. ( Work that one out if you can)

The basics of the rocker card were the same but I rang the large circle through the Grand Calibur useing the star mask then keeping the mask in olace coloured the stars with pan pastels. I embossed the card and coloured it again but this time cut out some of the stars to embellish the stamped image which was a freebie from a stamping magazine.x

Success at last I have now managed to post an image. Dont know what is happening with the blog folks but never mind at least I have a picture on.

Well bloggers just watched Toms first show on Create and Craft today with his new masks and Stenscapes. ANOTHER SELL OUT. At this rate the design team will become redundant as they didnt have time to show our samples!! lolx. Because of this I thought I would put them on my blog straight away for you to see but it seems my blog has decided to change the way you put pictures on and I cant get them on. Doh! Never mind please visit me later and hopefully I will have worked it out.

All my crafting stash was put away while I had visitors. Tomorrow is New Years Ever and new Years Day is my Son In laws birthday so there is always a bit of do for that. The next day we should get back to normal and I am so looking forward to doing some more crafting. I thought I would share with you this card which has just appeared on the Splodge Away Blog as I couldnt think of any other way to wish you all A very Happy New Year.

Hi everyone well I came on really to tell everyone who was looking forward to Tom from Splodgeaway being on Create and Craft on 17th December to get your tissues out as its been cancelled until the 4th January. Sob sob. good news for DT members though as this gives us a bit more time to get some samples done. Without giving too much away you get a LOT for your money on the next show so that is a LOT for DT members to do samples with.x  Had a nice day today at Suzicraft even though it was freezing cold and ice and fog on the way its always worth it to see all the lovely people. It was the Thursday morning coffee clubs xmas do today and they had a fun time with party hats, buffet and pass the parcel but still managed to craft. My visit was just fleeting for me ( A couple of hours. haha)
Couldnt blog without sharing a card with you. This was another one I made useing Sheena Douglass A little bit sketchy festive stamps and coloured with pro markers. Well of to do some crafting.
Thank you for takeing the time to pop to my blog

Good afternoon bloggers. Just thought I would get a quick blog in, inbetween cooking sunday lunch and share with you a card that I have made in batch that I will be sending to friends this year. Some may already have them as Cliff sends them as I make them. A great little production line. Very simple to make. I have used Sheena Douglas's a little bit sketchy feastive stamps for the Robin and Bow and a little worker stamp in holly from a Hobby Art Set.

I stamped the Robin ( and what great stamps they are very clean images, a pleasure to work with) and the bow then coloured with pro markers. (I cut pieces of card 4x4 for the robin) Then cut out the bows and edeged the white with red around the robins. before glueing onto my 6x6 cards I stamped the holly stamp around the edge of the card blank. Job done.

xmas cards

 

 

 

Hi bloggers well its been a while since I have been on here as I have been so busy. Like most people I dare say at this time of year. I have lots of cards to make and things to do. Last Friday I had a lovely day in York with some of my buddies and we had an amazing time. Lots of chat and wine with a little bit of shopping in between. The biggest laugh was that I went to York with two odd shoes on! Yes you read that right. Two odd shoes. It caused great hilarity when I realised and lots of laughs since.
The card I am sharing with you today is a one I am making for a friend. To make this I used Splodge Away Art Noveou 8x8 mask with so ordinations paper sanded back. The poinsettia was also made useing Splodge Away mask. The centre was a stamp I had in my stash. It is a wooden block one and I dont know who made it (I suspect it is creative expressions) but it stamps beautifully. It was then coloured with pro markers.

Hope you are all keeping warm dry and safe in this awful wet and windy weather.

Made useing THE REAL SPLODGEAWAY products

Hi bloggers just a quick post as I have been at Suzicrafts all day doing a Hougie Board class the the fabulous amazing and extremely funny Kay Rutter. Now I dont know if I am so tired through the drive, the hard work or just all the laughing I did. Whatever it was a great day. I have taken some photos but have decided to wait to post them until after I have made a project with the skills I learnt at the class!!!
Until then I would like to share another card that I made for Toms show last Sunday useing his daisy mask. This took quite a lot of doing as it was really difficult trying not to get gold specs on the black card. I have to say it took lots of attempts but in the end I felt it was worth it.

ANOTHER ROCKER

Hello bloggers. today I decided to spend doing nothing but crafting. Well it didnt quite work out that way as a few loads of washing went in etc but I still managed to make some inroads into my xmas cards. I loved this one so thought I would share it with you. I am quite into the rocker card at the moment and they are so simple to make if you have the Gran Nestabilities As you just cut out largest circle and fold in half for card. Next size down for insert and smallest two for topper.
I have decorated this one by useing my splodge mat to distress edge of main topper. And the stamps are from Hobby Art.
