Hi all fellow crafters

I set up this blog initially to show my creations and along the way I have found out blog land is the most wonderful place to meet like minded people and as a bonus new friends too. I really enjoy creating cards and everyday I cannot wait to get home from work to be near my crafty corner in my living room. Absolute heaven having it in my living room as I get to hear the TV and have my laptop close by (my three creature comforts LOL)

I have three grown up children and three really beautiful grandchildren (I am biased!)

Anyway I hope you enjoy your visit and please call back soon...

Hayley and Harley - Krista Smith

Good morning.. I didn't realise it was so late LOL....

Tonight I have been concentrating on a commission, a birthday card for a special little girl.  I just love this image and I know she will too. I have spent most of the day up the hospital with my mum again so took on this project to take my mind of it all.. I struggled but I think it was worthwhile the effort.  I only have another 3 cards to work on but they are not needed for a couple of weeks so I can rest on my laurels and create when I feel like it LOL.

Here is all the gumphhhhhhh......

Ingredients
Image - Saturated Canary
Backing papers - Nitwits
Pearls, ribbon, glitter, gems - my stash
Flower - Sizzix
Spellbinders circles for the basic shapes including the letters inside
Sentiment and letters created on Word
The inside compliments the front 

This has been entered into the following
Dies to die for - Anything Goes


Hope you have enjoyed your visit and please drop by again

Well I have not finished the card I have laying on my table.. lets just say it is a work in progress LOL. I thought I would share pictures of my family with you all instead. Yes as you will notice I do not have a wonderful father for my beautiful family as unfortunately never stepped up to the mark although I have top say we did pretty well without a man involved LOL and I am definitely not complaining.. the struggle was worthwhile!

Anyway I may just make it back to table before the day is out.

I obtained his beautiful image from Craftsandme was designed by Sara Burrier. I colored her using prismacolor pencils(sorry cannot remember the actual colors used) . I also used metallic pens for the wings and details. The green patterned backing paper came from Bearly Mine Designs which I printed using photographic paper to give the background a shine effect. I used swirls colored in green and added glitter, pearl gems and mulberry roses. The roses were purchased a while ago from mulberry crafts The inside of the card is decorated to compliment the card. Thank you for looking and have a nice day.

This image I purchased from Tiddlyinks. The gothic couple was designed by Christy Croll and was coloured using prismacolor pencils by me. The background paper I purchased from Folkvangar They sell such beautiful and unique papers and I love them all so much. I have also added gems for the tiara and jewelley which adds another dimension to the card. The sentiment was purchased from LOTV which I have used time and time again. Once again the inside of the card has been decorated to compliment the front.
Once again thanks for peeking and welcome comments anytime. Serves as encouragement to carry on....
