Owl are ya?

Sorry for lack of posts, i have been so busy with designing in the background, that i havent had time for alot else, but have had the odd moment to have a bit of a play!

 I adore owl's i think they are just the cutes, and had this one i had to use. Coloured in Promarkers and Tim Holtz inks, it gives it a lovely sepia colour. I think the stamp set is a Kanban set as i just recongnised the little trees! The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set called Whimsical Words which was one of the sets in the recent Sale-a-bration which has now ended, but there are some lovely verses in the set! Hopefully get chance to post some more soon, so please dont think ive abandoned you all as i really havent. Missing all my blogging friends and hope to be back with you all when i get the chance!

Just the one today!

After my marathon crafting session yesterday, ive only done this today!
Its a 'Post-It' wallet, (the orange inside are a pad of Post-it notes!)
I used a nestabilitlies die to cut the shape of the cover and Stampin Up 'Totally Tabs' stamps for the tab on the side and used the Stampin Up punch to cut out the tabs.
I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink for the colouring and Sugar and Spice sentiment stamps for the verse on the front, finished off with a bit of ribbon (docrafts i think it is?)

Last one for today!

Here is a card/envelope card made using papers i downloaded from EllaBella, i think they are absolutely gorgeous. So thankyou.
This is the outside, i used the papers and nestabilities to cut out the circle and frame and used Stampin Up 'Pretty in Pink' ink pad to outline it with, i also used a velcro dot underneath to hold it shut...

This is the inside, i used a petal punch to 'bite' a chunk of cake, used the letters in the set and added a part to write your message on. I also used Stampin Up scallop punch to do the ribbony bit behind the cupcake.

Latest creations...

Saw this style of card on the Crafters Companion forum, and thought it was so pretty, had to have a go! after a few mess ups.... (and making one out of paper, to get the folds and cuts right) this is what i made,
First one....

Was quite pleased how it came out, hubby thought it was fab, but lacked something???
so... had to make another one!!!!

Second one! was really pleased with this one, rounded all the corners and used nestabilities to cut out the central shapes and cuttlebug to cut out the tag and phrase, few flowers and Voila!
Quite easy to make once its sussed out! If you want a plan of how to make it, let me know and i draw one up and post it for you.
Take care

First of 3 scrapbook pages

I just love this image of my daughter and my husband. She was only about 3 years old, but she was just so angelic but cheeky! I love the fact that the images are black and white too, so designed the scrapbook page around that.
I used black scrapbook paper and stamped the images onto that, and coloured the leaves and flowers in with silver letraset marker and then added touch of glitter glue to the centres, used nestabilities flower die for the 2 larger flowers and added text i made from Word, then stamped all over that and cut it all out, added a few diamondy embellishments and thought it looked fab!
The stamps i used were build a swirl by Prima marketing, and they are massive! but gorgeous!

Gorjuss card

Outside of card ... and inside of card.

This is a Gorjuss card i made using papers downloaded greatfully from Summertime Designs and i must admit they are absolutely beautiful, so i would like to say thankyou for designing them and letting us download them!
I also used my cuttlebug to cut out the swirly die, which is a sizzix border die, and my new frame die, which i think was nestability one? very pretty frame and set. Alchohol inks and letraset permanent markers to colour and of course the Gorjuss Girl stamp from Funky Kits and to finish it off some flowers!

Gorjuss card

This was a card i made a couple weeks ago, never got round to posting this, or dont think i did? but used one of my fav gorjuss stamps, love this image, and printed off some papers i downloaded from somewhere? sorry but i forgot where i downloaded them from! ooops how bad is that? inked the edges, nestabilities frame, bit of glimmer mist... had to! and a flower to finish it off. Was rather pleased with the result to be honest, so kinda proud of this one.

Hmmm? Not sure???

Have done this, but really not sure? think it looks bit naff to be honest? not one of my bestest efforts i know! but here it is anyway. Think my mojo has left the building! Eeeeekkkkkkkkk now what? lol
Oh well.... back to the designing i think? lol
take care everyone and thanks for stopping by.
