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...

Books and Bedhead - Krista Smith

Evening all.....

Tonight I finished a card off that I started during the week.  A new image from Saturated Canary.  I coloured the image with my prisma pencils and layered glitter from the light bulb to project a sparkle of light over the gorgeous gal.The backing papers are from Nitwits.  The doily, brad, hatpins and metal corner are from WOC.  I used crackle paint on the corner embellishment.  The pearl gems and lace are from my stash as are the feathers behind the image and sentiment which I produced on Word.

This has been entered into the following


The inside compliments the front....
Sorry this is a super speedy post but need some rest and chillax time in front of the tv LOL...

Thank you for dropping by and taking the time to do so

Sweetie this is gorgeous, however you cannot enter at Die-ing for Challenge as you have not followed the rules, hugs Pops x x x

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....
