little pressy from dad

I've been asking my very capable dad for weeks to make me a small easel so I can (supposedly) take better piccys of my work. yesterday I got a phone call to fetch it and here it is I love it soooooooo professional, the only thing was SOMEHOW he burnt out the motor on his type of saw thingy machine:( I do need to get out more :).

The only thing to do now is take some pics of the page I did at http://www.craftden.co.uk on thurs so when i've done that I'll show them on my new easel. be back soon x

Its a privilege to be asked

Well I'm on the design team at Craft Den and this is my first card for Lynne it is a whiff of joy stamp Oakley and it is very unusual for me to do boys cards but I rose to the challenge (literally 5am sat morn!!!!!)and I hope its the first of many. May I take a moment to thank Lynne for asking me and

welcome the other designers too may we have lots of laughter and joy in the future xx

I used copics to colour him in, nestabilities (one of the labels), bazzil card friends junction papers and stamps all from the Craft Den brown plastic washers are from my stash.

back in the zone

I have also made up these cards started colouring them with copics at craftden on wed night. Lynne talked me through it again and now I understand more, just need to practice.This image has a skull and crossbones slide in her hair very rock chick. all the gorguss girls are lovely I wouldn't be able to choose my favorite. I love to colour magnolias there is more space to blend and when you are not very good it is a better result as I'm very good at going out of the lines but that could be my eyes.

out of my comfort zone!

Hasn't it been lovely weather I've been in all day, dont do sun I'm like a vampire I burn up in it.

Today I have been finishing the cards I made in the alcohol inks class (not alcoholics class as my girls keep thinking im saying), Anne dont faint but I have done a few. this is not my usual type of work i.e. not cutsie but I loved doing it here are a few.

Sparkly Sara

I'm on a roll tonight I did this page yesterday. It is of Sara my middle girlie and I just love the pic its all sparkly. So I used glamour dust sprinkled on glossy accents over crackle glaze, old 1970's lace and large roses with stickles, the old bigshot came in too I still like this even though I've got other diecutting machines as well.

Canvas at Craft Den

I've survived piglet flu!!! only 48 hrs but doesn't hurt to be dramatic. Did not get much sympathy here or at work you are walking therefore you are fine!

Anyway went to Craft Den wed to finish the canvas ["no work no craft class"my girls said so another reason to go to work].Enjoyed doing this class totally different for me. This is the result piccys not very good though, but i love the canvas.

Piglet flu !!!!

I've got piglet flu not quite swine flu but one down from it. so in order to survive I've done some scrapbooking here are the results holly will have a mega fit when she sees the colour and ghds one but i am her mother and i can do as I want as I'm about to shuffle off my mortal coil {die in other words lol}

The grey and black page is my CREDIT CRUNCH scrap. Wallpaper cut out and stuck on bazzil card outlined in glossy accents, free sample wallpapers from B&Q and homebase {may not be acid free though so not used an original pic}
