Chef Ellie

Hi Guys,

I have made this card using a digi from The paper nest called chef Ellie.

The card is pretty simple as it was for an envelope not a box. I have used First Edition Family ties paper and used twine and a button from my stash.

I love how the cherry papers match the cherry on top of her little cake :)

Thanks for looking today,

Summer days

Hi Guys,

Yesterday was gloriously sunny here. (I was making cards though) and today I have to work but still with the sun shining anything seems possible so whatever you do today, Be great!

Today's card has a mix of images. It's got gnome suprise inside from Whimsie doodles and In the garden from Digistamp boutique.

I have coloured them in in bright summery shades of Promarkers.

I have used tons of dies and lots from my stash. The pearls I coloured with markers to match.

Thanks for looking and remember....Be great!!

Hello Summer

Hi Guys,

It's another gloomy day here. It's nearly June and every day is rainy or dull, not good :(

To make me feel more cheery today's card was made using Hello Summer papers frome Echo park.

I have used Wryn- spring bling and coloured her with Promarkers.

I have used lots of dies to cut the ticket (whimsy), felt flowers (Die-namics), stars (Memory box) and heart, flourish and corner (Marianne). I have used flowers from Wild Orchid crafts and pearls (coloured with Promarkers to match) and heart button from stash.

Thanks for looking today,

A special time

Hi Guys,

My card is the second of the adoption cards I have been asked to make. A special little boy is joining my friends family this week and they have been waiting for 2 years to complete the adoption process. What a lucky boy to be joining such a lovely family. He will be cherished.

I have used a Whimsy stamp that I had from ages ago as a freebie. He is no longer free but you can get him Here. I have layered with ivory linen card and Up, up and Away papers from First Edition. I have used buttons from my stash, embossed the middle layer of paper and used a Martha Stewart punch for the edge.

I can't wait to meet the little guy,

This is a card I made yesterday. The first of 2 adoption cards I have been asked to make. I have used a Mo Manning image "Thanks" which I happened to get as a freebie (Thanks Mo).

The paper is Up and away- first edition, The sentiment is computer generated and the ribbon and gems were from my stash. I have coloured him with Promarkers and I just love him. He is adorable.

Hi Guys,

The weekend is nearly over and I have made 4 cards, visited my dad for his birthday, been shopping with the daughter and mowed the grass. Busy, busy, bee !

This a very quick post as it's my second today. I followed the sketch over at Pink Gem to make another of my graduation cards.

I have used Daydream papers again with pearl purple card. Coloured with Promarkers and used ribbon and pearls/ heart from stash. The flowers are Wild Orchid crafts.

See you soon,

Joanna sheen Challenge- Girls, girls, girls

Joanna Sheen Challenge- Girls girls girls- GDT

Morning Guys,

Today's card was made for my GDT spot over at Joanna Sheen.

 The challenge this week is Girls, girls, girls so my card is quite pretty.

I have used Daydream papers from First Edition which I have distressed around the edges.These are layered onto Ivory cardstock. The lovely image is Daisy from Joanna Sheen. I have coloured her with ProMarkers and 3D'd her on the front.

The hearts are a Memory box Die "Precious hearts"and a Marianne die for the one on the left. The corner is also a Marianne die and I have glittered them all with Star dust.

The sentiment was from a mixed pack from The range which I picked up the other day. I think they are Do crafts. There are tons of different ones in the pack.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid and include Chrysanthemums, Roses and Stamens.

I have used ribbon and gems from my stash.

Hope you pop over to Joanna Sheen and take part in the challenge. You can find it Here.

Bye for now,

Lou x
