and some more a tag this time and an easel birthday card for jas

A wee taggy to go with the card in the post below.

Eldest daughters birthday card, little scientist in the making (probably the mad sort knowing my luck haha)  I have used a pollycraft image for this one.

Don't like my base much have since changed it slightly, had a little helper lol who insisted we used some spotty pink ribbon.

Thanks for looking

Tishy's birthday card - she does love her blues

A little easel card for daughter number two.  Used some papermania blue card base, some prima flowers, my flower xcut border punch, some wee flower gems from my stash and some pretty papermania designer papers again from my stash. The gorgeous butterfly is Anitas.

 

Haven't been around much, we have been slating the roof, and have half done now, the two dormers went in this last week on the front of the house just the last velux to go now, me and Will will tackle that this weekend and then we can slate the front. hmm, it all takes time and in my case oodles of energy (ZZZZZ) sorry not really that tired but you know where I'm coming from if you have ever done any major diy 'yourself'' hehe.

Kiddies have pretty much found all sorts of fun things to do, the caravan has been a hotspot for mini tea parties (too many sweeties lol) but they have been great.

Hope you have all been keeping well, I will pop round during this week to see everyone. xx

Pollycraft for someone special

Coloured in with my promarkers and layered onto some black card and some pretty papers my friend eva gave me. I have punched out some colour co-ordinated circles from some designer Stampin up papers and added a metal sentiment with a wee gem on it.

The lower part of the easel card has been made in similar papers and I have echoed the three circle punches and topped with three large flower gems.

pollycraft for jack's 19th birthday

Very simple card, coloured with my stampin up markers and I have used a mixture of paper mania card and stampin up card. The ribbon is also a stampin up seam binding ribbon. Used my friends button embossing folder on the blue and layered up.

I used the ribbon at the back of the card to attach some money for my nephew, who is 19 this year, very scary monkeys, but lots of fun.

Almost forgot to say this is a pollycraft image and perfect for any teenage boy.

Christmas easel with pollycraft and papermania

This cute little image is from pollycraft, I used some snippets to make the crossways panels and also for the poinsettia.

So this is another christmas card for the pile and I used a papermania stamp for the sentiment and tag shape.

The image has been coloured with my promarkers.

I chalked the edges of the tag after I had used a deckle edge scissor to cut out the shape.

The large brad is DCWV.

Flying in with a Christmas Card, at last, I seem to have fallen behind with my christmas offerings, so must get back on track.  This is another pollycraft image, and I have coloured with my Stampin up pens this time.  The sentiment is a  bizzy becs and the papers are mainly scraps from the SU card and papers that i have been using recently.

A wee shot to show that I have decorated the inside of this card as well.

Sweet Strawberries and Butterflies

This cute little pollycraft girl has a basket full of scrummy strawberries. I have coloured with my promarkers and I have used some of my new forever friends baby papers to layer up and frame the image. The green paper with white butterflies is by Queen and Co. I have doodled around the edge of the image and coloured the butterfly with my Promarkers too.  I die cut some poinsettias and these were the ones that were left over from the christmas card in the next post. I cut them into leaf shapes and again doodled on the card, then attached them here and there and also some pretty buttons.

The 'you're so sweet' sentiment is a Stampin Up.

The inside is decorated using a freebie paper and a die cut oblong.  I have added a few gems to the frame to bling it up a little. Sorry no photos, I completely forgot to take a piccie of the inside.xx

Thanks

A thank you card for my aunt and uncle down south.  They sent me some lovely writing paper with matching envelopes and a very vintage feel.

Yes I have been playing with my new stampin up papers, aren't they lovely. I also bought some of the stampin up markers with which I coloured in the sentiment.

The image (from pollycraft) is coloured with my promarkers and is so cute! I was going to turn it into an easter card, but know that my aunt loves wee birdies, so it was perfect for her.  I have her birthday card in the pipe line too, so will show that next week.

I even decorated the inside, which I do quite a lot nowadays but don't always remember to take photos.

Pollycraft Jessy Drummer and a bit of a panic

Well for a while there I thought I wasn't going to get my blog back. This morning I got told blogger had disabled my blog etc etc. The only trouble was that I had not done anything naughty in any way to make them do this. So what was happening, guess what? I still have no idea why they did it, but they did. A quick email from the blogger guys and gals would be great to explain why they had to put me into a panic.  Blogging has become my outlet, not just to share my creations but also as a way to let off steam, well have a natter really with like minded crafters.

Well thats my grumble for the day, and I have probably missed a couple of the challenges that I made this card for but never mind eh, there's always the next challenge.

This is pollycrafts Jessy Drummer, the image was brilliant to colour and I used my promarkers.  The papers are all from my stash, some are snippets, including one snippet that I pinched from my friend Jenny's snippet box hehe. My Nephew will be 16 this week and this is for him. He used to play the drums at all hours but I think if I'm honest his ps3 is now his passion!!

I am hopefully entering this into the following challenges if I catch them in time.

Tortoise - Welcome Babe

Hallo back again, here is a cute little Pollycraft mommy and baby or daddy and baby who knows?

I have coloured with my whispers pens and have layered onto pink papers to contrast with the green, it was only after I had made this card that I came accross Colour Create's latest challenge which is use pink and green, lucky huh?

I have added some lovely green buttons to the card as extras, cos after following the sketch, which was a lovely simple one from willow sketchie, I felt that it needed some more attention.

The Sentiment and the circle stamp are from Personal Impressions, which I have then cut out with a spellbinder die. I edged this with my dark pink chalk and layered it onto a double flower punched from green paper.  The ribbon that runs along the bottom is from a present and is extremely thick to the touch so was glad that it sits under the two rectangles, extra bit of sticky!

When you wish upon a star!

I have used this gorgeous girl (called Evie) and her teddybear by Pollycraft. I have coloured with my promarkers and have used some freebie papers that I found in my stash, that were just perfect I felt to go with this image. I cut out a tag to match and attached it using a lovely large flower brad and some pretty prima and papermania flowers. I have used stickles around the edge of the image and also the sentiment and stars.
