It's been a while

since I last blogged.  As always, I have made several cards and just not blogged them, again its a new resolution that I intend to change!

Here is a card I made for this weeks Less is more challenge, where the theme is Cats and/or dogs.

I have used a Penny Black stamp, coloured it with Tombow markers, and added some glitter to the bees wings.  The sentiment is from a Paper Smooches set.

Thank you for stopping by.

Crafty clearout on ebay

I know I have not been around for a while - I have been crafting just not blogging (slapped wrist).

I am down sizing my stash considerably for the time being, so if you fancy a bargain or 2 - I have some Die-namics listed on ebay, along with stamp and die sets.  I will also be listing lots of other rubber & stash in the coming days.  Some of it is auction, and some of it is buy it now.  If your local to me, I am happy for collection.

Hope your all having a lovely sunny bank holiday weekend. 

Thank you for stopping by. x

eBay sale

Sorry I have been absent for a while, we have a lot going on here at the moment....

I have had a sort out, and am being quite ruthless.  I am putting some neglected craft stash onto eBay, some things are in the auction, others are buy it now.  Most items are brand new never used, or just used a couple of times, so if you fancy a little look, please feel free. xx

Aaaaahhhhhh Christmas

Well I clearly do not know what I was thinking playing with snowflakes and Christmas stamps in January, but hay ho!  I made this card a couple of weeks ago for a sketch challenge, but as per usual never got around to uploading it! lol.   

I don't normally make new years resolutions - but I think I need to blog the cards I make for challenges! 

Not sure I am overly happy with the card, but I do love the snowflake and the sparkly paper, it looks better in real life, dodgy photo and bad wintery lighting does not help!  Roll on the summer.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Paper Playtime:  Use some brown.

ABC Christmas = B: Bows or Boys.

Allsorts:  Masculine.

Candles, candles and more candles.

Here is a quick clean and simple card I made on Saturday night (oh how my life has changed! lol I am trying to use elements of stamp sets I usually ignore or neglect, or just dont know what to do with as they are not the main image.  

The candles are from a Doodlebug birthday set.  I used copics to colour the candles and added diamond glaze to the flames.  The sentiment is from a papertrey ink stamp set.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Less is more: Sketch.
Cas-ual Fridays: Make your mark.
Party Time Tuesday: Anything Goes. 
The crazy challenge:  Party Time.

Penny Black Social Butterfly

again!  I've had this set a while, and not used it until now, it's now one of my favorite sets! lol  So I  have defo done a bit of glitter overkill on this card!  I was at the Exeter craft fair on Thursday, and a stand had the sparkliest glitter I have ever seen, the lighting was pretty amazing on the stand, and magpie me had to have in on the sparkle!  I brought the finest grain, but by my standards its quite chunky!  It will be brilliant on Christmas projects!  (I cant believe I just said the C word!)

At the show I also brought some ink brushes, I have had some for ages and not used them, but being all inspired and all I brought more - perfectly normal right? 

I am in love with this butterfly from Penny Black, the sentiment is from Penny Black Sweet Wishes transparent set.  I am really looking forward to Monday when the new releases from Penny Black are able to be brought, although my bank card is taking a deep breath! lol   

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge: January Blues.

Make it Monday : Anything goes.

Bunny Zoe: Anything goes.

Simply Create Too: Anything goes.

The Papershelter:  Anything goes.
