Hi everyone how are you all?

I'm back with my DT card for Deep Ocean challenges, is it really 2 weeks since the last challenge? Wow is it me or are these weeks flying by..........

Anyhoo's our new challenge this fortnight is super duper, easy peasy, seriously peeps.........

DISTRESSING

........see now how easy is that!!! So get your inks, your scissors, your Tim Holtz tools or whatever else you use & distress your stuff ;0)

I have duffed up the edges of my papers with a' Distresser Tool' & inked them with Pumice Stone distress ink & as always I've machine stitched them. This is just a topper I'm keeping in my craft room on display as inspiration.

The Doily is from my stash, I cut it in half, inked the edges lightly & layered them between paper layers, so it looks like there are 2 doilies on there.

I have used one of my favourite laces, tbh I need more, tbh I need a shopping trip very soon at LLC, it feels so long since I did shopping there lol. Honestly........instead I've been spending the money on our home, garden & of course my family <3 a="" all="" also="" essentials="" few="" get="" had="" i="" p="" soon="" tell="" to="" ve="" very="" will="" you="">

Now the gorgeous image is 'Pixie Nerd' & I cropped her & added this awesome quote next to her. Now this is fine to do as long as you DO NOT alter the image in anyway but if ever you are unsure please contact Krista or what-ever artist image you are using.

Pop on over to the Saturated Canary shop for more of Krista's awesome digi's & if you didnt know like if you've been abducted by aliens or something Krista has recently added some uber awesome new digi's to her shop.

True Love & A Happy Birthday

Hello everyone how are you all? I am sorry I've been MIA again these headaches are kinda ruling my life at the minute, so screen use has been a no-no but I thought I would try do a quick post with a card I made a few weeks ago. I'm at the opticians tomorrow for an eye test, so will see if that is the cause.

Anyhoo's here is a card I made weeks ago with a LOTV stamp, the image had been coloured up beginning of the year I think it was.

I love this image, its so sweet. It is called 'Close Your Eyes' by LOTV of course. I went to the website to get the link for this stamp..............OMW have you seen the new stamps that are getting released.......oohhh I'm swooning.................

The gorgeous 'Tulle Trim' & 'Lace' are from Live & Love Crafts.

The papers are from 2 Melissa Frances pads, the strip along the top I cut from one pad & fussy cut the scallops & layered it up. The added a strip of Pearls which were from WOC I think. 

The flowers are a mixture of Prima & the little pearls on the lace are also Prima.

I coloured the image with Distress Ink markers. The 'sentiment tag' is from LOTV.

Well thats it from me I will try to catch up with you as soon as I can. 

Its my youngest son Jake's birthday today he is 18............I wish I could freeze moments in time or go back to when he was little, it goes way too fast. My baby is now officially a young man, although he will always be my baby, all my kiddo's will ;0)

Happy Birthday Jake son!!!!!!

A Random Fan - Anything Goes

You're Wonderful

Hello all you lovely peeps around the world. Hope you are all having a lovely Easter. We had a little easter egg hunt for Payton yesterday what her mummmy & daddy did, she was sooooooo cute looking for the eggs in her garden to put in her basket ;0)

Anyway I'm here with a card that I made months ago but only the base of the card if you know what I mean. Sometimes I see papers when I'm looking & think oooh I could do that............so rather than put them on my desk I make the base of the card & then it goes in my drawer.............where I usually forget about it lol. Well its better than having loads of papers on my desk which would annoy the pants off me ;0)

The image however I only added 2 weeks ago...........yeah its still took me til now to blog it, sorry lol, its not the only one either...oops

Yes I've done an Hannah Lynn card, I actually have a few older ones coloured up & one from the last release but they still havn't made it to cards yet. 

The papers are Prima 'Madeline' I think they are called, I would go look but I have a doggy asleep on my lap lol..........it would be cruel to disturb her ;0) I used the 6x6 & the A4 pads for this. The edgeing is my MS PATP set. I finally got most of my punches up on rails last week woo hooo.........yeah the craft room took back stage while we are getting on with the bungalow & garden...........though thats not started quite yet lol.

Ok we have a mixture of Prima & WOC flowers, the die under the smaller flowers is Marianne 'Branch Forest'. The Rose Cabochon & the silver butterfly are from Crafts & Me, I also added white gesso to the butterfly.

The centre large flower I sprayed to soften the colour & to totally soften the bright yellowy/orange in the middle.

The gorgeous image is a new digi from Crafts & Me called 'Expression Study 2' by Hannah Lynn & I coloured her with Copics, I will add the colours at the bottom when I find my little book. The 2 laces are from my stash. The sentiment 'You're Wonderful' is from LOTV 'Handwritten Phrases'.

I'm sorry I've been quiet the last few days I've been suffering with lots of headaches & migraines since Thursday night so I've been keeping off the laptop, although I tried go on Pinterest the other day..........half an hour later I was lying in bed with a towel over my head. Hopefully I will manage some crafting tonight.

Well I'm off as I'm going B&Q while they have the offer on Buy One Get One Half Price on interior doors, I want one for my kitchen & one for my living room, they are half glass ones so will allow more light everywhere.

Okie dokie I'm going now, hope you all have a wonderful Bank Hol monday, take care mmwah.

Thanks for stopping by it really means a lot lovelies

The cute gorgeous image are the new Rachelle Anne Miller stamps, this one is called 'Close Knit Friends' it comes with a few sentiments as well so you can choose which one to use. I coloured the image with Distress Ink Markers.
