Thinking of you

March is running away from me at a speed I cannot keep up with. If you thought I had disappeared, well I am still here. I have been crafting, but just have had no time to take pictures and upload.
I have made 7 cards already which are waiting nicely on top of printer.
Here is my card for today:

Paper: Teresa Collins, Dymo label sentiment.
Stamp: rubber stamp from Stamps Happen.

Colour: Glimmer Mist, Caran d'Ache Suprasoft pencils

Dies: Spellbinders, Heartfelt Creations.

You shine a light -Webster's Pages-

Hello,
I have been missing for a while. I have had the week off work and I have been crafting.
I just didn't get round to blogging as the weather has been nice and I have spent time outdoors.
I made this card with a Stamps Happen stamp. It is such a cute image and makes me wish that summer would last a wee bit longer. Isn't it lovely to have the sun and long days...

Webster's Yachtclub papers and Marianne Design dies, EK Succes flower punch and sealife rub-ons from my collection.

Colouring with Distress inks, paper sentiment from Webster's pages.

Another close-up view; the dress is Milled Lavender and Stormy Sky.

The inside of the kraft card has also been decorated with DP papers and rub-on.

Tons of Fun

What a busy week it has been. First week back to work and I'm already exhausted.
I was glad to have the weekend off and I had tons of fun yesterday making this card. I didn't manage to get a very good picture though. It kept turning out a bit blue in the background, even when I put it in the window. Winterlight... I love these cheeky fellowes. like they had all the honey...

Supplies: Whoop-de-doo from GSD Studio paper, Prima flowers, BG button, rub-on from K&Co Raspberry collection, MS punch, Nesties and my sewing machine. The stamp is woodmounted from Stamps Happen.
I'm off to make something for BBTB2 if I manage, because we're going to go shopping in town too.

Goodbye 2009

Hello on the last evening of  2009,

We are having a quite time. I 've been struck with pneumonia and this is actually the first day that I manage to do something. I 'm on Amoxicillin 1500mg and I think it's starting to work. Although not at night, I 'm giving my other half sleepless nights. Oh, dear.
I 'll keep this short, just a card and a few of my favourite Christmas decorations.

The stamp is from Stamps Happen, cute little birdies. Maybe you feel stuffed like them now. The frame is cut with Storybook cartridge, some flowers from Marianne Design, paper from K&Co Que Sera Sera, rub-on sentiment from Wild Raspberry. I added some Glimmer Mist and pearls from Papermania, sequins from the Beadshoppe and brads from Making Memories. Colored with Copics and some Distress ink.

These ornaments are from glass and are made in Poland and Germany, only the last one is made in China. I love snowmen and have collected quite a few. It's a shame that they all will have to go in hibernation again. Sigh, until next year. Happy New Year everyone and good health. Yeah...

Collecting Sea Shells

So I fancied something different to making Christmas cards. Although I've got 2 more snowmen cards to show, I needed a break from all the wintery stuff. I bought this sweet stamp from Hobbycraft on Friday, but only managed to finish the card now. As my mom is here, she too wanted to try her hand at making a card. Only, she needs a lot of help because of artritis in her hands and she can't decide. Too overwhelmed by the pretty papers and colors etc...LOL.

Supplies: Paper Bonbon Doodlebug boutique assortment, MakingMemories Ledger paper, Coordinations blue card, American Crafts white card, Prima flowers and pearls, John Lewis's lace, rose from stash, Storybook for the frame and Stretch your imagination cartridge for the shells, Copics, Nestabilities circle die, Stickles Star Dust, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl, Sand, Creme de Chocolat, Distress Ink in Tea Dye.

The inside of the card is decorated with Doodlebug paper and Martha Stewart Doily lace punch and some sea shells. The little girl stamp is from Stamps Happen.
Thank you for looking and have a good week.
