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 fabulous image is 'Aeroplane' of course by LOTV. I have coloured it with copics, I will add the colours shortly as this is a scheduled post whilst sitting in bed lol.

Happy 10th Birthday LOTV

Good morning my lovelies & it is such a beautiful morning up here by the sea. I've got one lot of washing pegged out & the bedding in the washer to be pegged out once its done.

Sorry I've been MIA, been rather busy. I've had cards made but then its took me til now to take pics lol.

The card I'm showing today I made specifically for LOTV & also their monthly challenge as they are celebrating 10 years...........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOTV, here's to another 10 years.

Now I brought the Annabel stamps as soon as they were released, within seconds actually lol & they arrived the next day & I even colour one up straight away. Sadly it took a while for her to get on a card, then when I saw the new challenge I made the card but then kept forgetting to take pics & blog it  :0( I know I'm not right in the head lol.

I made the card into my favourite style, shabby chic. The pad is an older Prima pad called 'Pixie Glen' I absolutely lurve the lush soft colours in this pad. I have machine stitched the papers & added gesso here & there.

The flowers are all WOC. I've added 2 layers of lace, the bottom pale pink one is from my stash & top one is 'Estee' 40mm from LLC, need more of this lace its lush. The metal corner is from my stash & I painted it with white gesso.

The clip is Tim Holtz & I added some scrap lace through the hole & added white gesso. The tag & postage thingies are from the Prima pad, I gave them a distressing & added gesso. The numbers are from my stash.

The stamp is called 'Annabel Pedal Power' I love these so much. I coloured the image with copics but kept it light so it went with the card, kept shading minimal as well.

The 'Sentiment Tags' are also LOTV. As always the inside is decorated to compliment the front. The leaves under the flowers are Magnolia 'Sprawling Ferns'.

I think that is it.

Its also Ribbon Girl LOTV challenge this week so I'm also putting my card there.

Thank you so much for stopping by, big hugs to you all.

Tatty bye & take care

Ok so here is my effort............I have to warn that my mojo has gone off to seek warmer weather I think :0(

Now the organza is straight honest but I missed glueing a part down so when it stands it falls down & then looks unlevel.............I have reattached it now but didnt have time take new pics this morn, these were took late last night.

.........see if you look now they are level lol. The gorgeous lace & organza is from LLC. I will try add proper links at the bottom later.

I havn't added a place to write a message yet as I wanted show you this gorgeous paper as a lot of it is covered on the front. The paper I've used is Maja Design 'Vintage Spring Basics' 6x6 pad...........I tell you this pad really is soooooooooooo gorgeous.

All the flowers are from WOC a while ago, the leaves are a Magnolia Doo-Hickey die.

I used Magnolia 'Hello Tilda' & coloured her with distress ink markers. I'm not a fan of yellow tbh as I think it shows lol..........never mind suppose I've got to do it sometimes lol. The sentiment is from a Hanglar Easter stamp.

I've added 'Cheesecloth' under the image & a shabby bark heart both of these are from LLC.

Maribel

Hello all you lovely jubbly people, how are you all? We are all fine & dandy here & Mr Sunshine has that lovely hat on this morning ;0)

Ok I have a card today that I made a couple of weeks ago using a stamp I've had since I first started crafting............yep its took me over 3 years to ink this stamp (I'm now bowing my head in shame) In my first year hubster was that happy I finally had a hobby after over 20 years of my hobby being the family & the house lol.........so brought me a lot of stamps in that first year & I have no idea how many are still un-inked from Sugar Nellie to Magnolia & everything in between lol. However as I'm trying to sort my stamps out maybe I can finally get some of them inked lol.

Now I'm not sure I even like this card, probably why its took me this long to blog it lol.

The stamp I've used is called 'Maribel' & its by Stempelglede, I have no idea where I would have brought it from sorry.

One of the things I do like about this card is the uber gorgeous paper, which is of course Maja Design 'Vintage Autumn Basic's' 6x6 pad. I inked the edges with Pumice Stone & machine stitched all around the edges.

I've decorated the inside exactly the same but left the brown seam binding off, which is from my stash. I added Pearl Dots around the edge of the centre bit.

The doily is from LLC. The charm thingy-ma-jig is by Bo Bunny, cant remember which set it is though. The swirl is of course a Magnolia Doo-Hickey.

The flower is by Prima & the leaves are Magnolia 'Sprawling Ferns', these are my favourite leaf die I have to say, although you've probably noticed lol. The edging is a MS PATP. The metal corner was from LLC ages ago lol. I've not added a sentiment yet, not sure what I will do with it tbh :0/

There is a 15% off across the entire shop over at Bunny Zoes, so go grab a bargain lovelies.

Well thats it from me I have bedrooms & bathrooms to clean...........hopefully will get to my craft room later as I've not done any for a few days :0(

Thank you so much for stopping by, sorry I'm behind again its one of those weeks where time flies by & dont have time to do everything.

Anyhoo's take care & enjoy your day mmwah

Anyhoo's I thought I would show you the Mother's Day card I made for my step-mum, I didnt want to post it before incase she saw it obviously. She likes vintage style ones so thats what I made for her.

The colours I took from this gorgeous paper I've used which is Pion Love Song 6x6' from the 'From My Heart' collection which are discontinued so its your last chance to grab these. IRL these papers really are so pretty.......I've had them since last year.

I have decorated inside to compliment the front, I didnt gether the lace on the inside though. The stamping I've done with a stamp from LOTV. 

The key is from Crafts & Me. The laces & seam binding is from my stash, the middle lace I have gathered & folded to create that look either side of the image. I've also added a Magnolia 'So Wrapped Lovely' tag in the corner. 

The cameo I made myself last year. All the flowers are from WOC, the peach ones I've had forever, they really are lush!! The die is a MB one.

The gorgeous vintage image is from Live & Love Crafts, its called 'Little Sweeties' - From Grandma's Attic. I heat embossed with just one layer of UTEE, inked it with walnut & cracked it a little.

The corner is with a Marianne Corner die & I've added scalloped pearls to the corners. The doilies are from my stash.

I think thats it for me, I meant post this earlier but weve been down Megan & Bens for tea............it makes a lovely change have someone cook for us lol. It was lovely. 

I have some DT work to catch up with but I will be round to as many of you as I can later.
