Saturday night fever

Hi,
I know, I know....it's been a whole week since I blogged. Whoopsie!
I know I say it all the time but I have been super busy. I have some great news. I have been asked to join the DT over at MilkCoffee and of course I said YES!
Such cute images to work with and what is proving to be already a fab team. I haven't done my first DT card yet but this one is made with one of their images which you can get Here.
I coloured Madeline in using Promarkers and a touch of white pen. 
I used a bunch of dies including Spellbinders and  MFT's Die-namics. The greeting is also MFT. The bingo digi is a freebie from Here.
I have used some disco balls and liquid pearls to make it pop!
Thanks for stopping by,

The power of words

Hi to you all on this VERY wet morning,
Todays simple card uses a lovely verse that I found on the web and it starts on the front and finishes inside. It's for a 2nd Anniversary and I hope they love it.
I used Adore papers from First edition and cut the hearts and butterflies using Die-namics and MB dies  from First edition Christmas paper (Silent night) I love that paper so much I don't want to use it lol.
Enjoy your rainy wet Wednesday,
Lou x

Under the Moonlight

Evening guys,
another quick stop by tonight before I get some shut eye. I am sooooo tired.
I have used LOTV rubber stamp under the moonlight an coloured it with Promarkers. I used New leaf (again) from First edition. It's just perfect for this time of year with all the autumn colours.
I used MFT' s MINI roled roses, Memory box's Precious hearts and a Martha stewart leaf punch. I didn't bling it too much as it's for a man so a few liquid pearl dots and a dot of glitter and finito!
Night night,
Lou x

Cas Wryn

Hi,
I seem to be writing all my blogs in the evening as it's the only quiet time I seem to have. It's been a busy day today as we went to Ikea to get some new shelves and storage for my crafty bits and I feel a lot more organised now. I only have a tiny space so storage is a must.

My card tonight uses Wryn Blooms which you can get here and coloured her with Promarkers. I have used New leaf from First Edition for my papers and matted these onto chocolate cardstock. I have simply embellished with a sentiment and a few pearls and brads.
I have got to sleep now so goodnight,

Fishing Alf

Hi,
I am just going up to bed but thought I would add the fab Alf fishing to show you. 
I have coloured him with my Promarkers and added just a few embellies. I put a few feathers together to make a sort of fly and added some buttons. I stuck with the earthy tones of browns orange and greens and thought I could smell the wax in his jacket (lol)
Alf is one of my favourite characters and I never tire of using him,
Night night and thanks for looking,

In the garden

Morning,
So much to do today and so little time. I will just quicly show you a card I made for a workmate to give her friend. It uses a Digi from Digistamp boutique which is here.
I have coloured using Promarkers and the papers are I think Do crafts. I had them from Wilko's anyway.
I have used a whimsy sentiment and cut it with a whimsy ticket stub die. The flowers are an MFT die and I have used some little punches. Got to go now but have a great day!
