Poppin'

Hello.

I used my We R Memory Keepers 'Travel Light' 6x6 pad again for this card. The image and sentiment are more of the digi's that I printed to work through. These digi's are by Dee Dee's, which as far as I can tell is now unfortunately closed. These actually come from a full page sheet with a selection of fun sentiments to go with the image.

Birthday Girl

Hello.

Every so often I print a few pages of digi's off for me to work through. This card was made using a couple of the digi's that I printed recently. Both images used on this card come from Bugaboo. They were coloured using promarkers, with a few dots of star dust stickles on the icing of the cupcake. I saw a card today which had used the Swiss Dots embossing folder, which inspired me to get my Cuttlebug out for the background. The sentiment for this card came from a set of pre-stamped sentiments which came free with Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.

All you need is love!

Hello.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

I have decided this year to set myself a challenge for the year. The last year and a bit for a few reasons my blog posts were sporadic, so this year my aim is to post at least once a week. So, on with my first post of the year.

Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine had a free 'Travel Light' 6x6 pad by We R Memory Keepers, which as soon as I saw it I had to buy. The papers looked good for masculine cards, which I always find hard to make, so they should be helpful. This card uses four different papers from the pad. The sentiment is from a Hobbycraft set. I bought a few of their sets a while back and this is the first time using one.

Belated Christmas Cards

Hello.

I had planned to post these five cards individually on the five days leading up to Christmas, but I ended up working a lot and didn't have time, so here they all are bunched into one post.

This one is made just using papers from the Papermania Honey and Hugs 'Festive Frolics' 12x12 kit.

This one is made just using papers from the Papermania 'Classic Christmas' 12x12 kit.

These papers are from the 'A Wonderful Christmas Time' 6x6 pad by Papermania. The stamp is from a set designed by Adam Pescott exclusively for 'Make Christmas Cards - Vintage Special' magazine.

Everything but the square gems on this card are from a special edition magazine which was called 'Just Great Papers - Christmas Cards'.

The two stamps used on this card also came from a set which was free with a magazine, these ones are by a company called onefourzero. The tartan paper is from the 'Checks' 6x6 pad by Paper Cellar.

Christmas lights

Hello.

Here is what I currently have on my nails. There are a few designs around YouTube showing how to paint Christmas lights, but this is my take on them.

These are the colours and the brushes I used to create this design.
