My resolution for 2012 is to spend more time crafting and keeping up to date with my blog. Life very much got in the way at the latter half of 2011. I wish you all a happy and healthy 2012 with lots of happy crafting.Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02073338798436995516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072100862178826864.post-63211365148224408322011-08-30T17:30:00.000+01:002011-08-30T17:30:04.588+01:00Straight Line ChallengeThe challenge this week over at the Sugar Nellie page on Facebook was the make a card with straight lines only. I used Belle Flower from <a href="http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/index.php">SUGAR NELLIE</a> I thought I really should use some of my older stamps before the new release of sweetness on Thursday. She is coloured with Promarkers, the dp is from my stash. This is the first time I have done black hair and I have to say I am sure it will be the last time unless by some miracle I manage to get it right.<br />

Karen is a friend who is a very talented crafter, she has been going through a tough time over the past couple of years yet she always manages to stay cheerful and supportive of her crafting friends. Maybe you could also pop over to <a href="http://kraftykarens.blogspot.com/">Karen's</a> blog and take a look at all her lovely work. Thanks.<br />
<br />
I have come back to this post with a little extra for you all. I bought some of Karen's designs this morning and thought I would share it with you. I haven't done it justice as there are more decoupage layers to be added but my hand and scissors just aren't compatible this morning. I have added a little glitter as our Karen loves her glitter.<br />

I have used her to transform a couple of very inexpensive note books, I am busy making items for my Christmas sales table and thought these would be ideal.<br />

It is a beautiful sunny afternoon here after a morning of rain, I hope we get more sunny days. I have a very simple card to share today it is another one for the men in our lives. The image is from <a href="http://www.littleclaire.co.uk/">LITTLE CLAIRE</a> and the sentiment is from <a href="http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/">CREATE WITH TLC</a>. As usual I have coloured the image with Promarkers then edged it with Distress ink. The card background has been stamped with the beer glass image from the stamp set again with Distress Ink. I am off to sit in the sun to enjoy a nice cool drink.Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02073338798436995516noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072100862178826864.post-52637139981313844442011-06-11T12:22:00.002+01:002011-06-11T13:26:09.322+01:00Something for the BoysI always struggle when it comes to making cards for Males. I found these lovely stamps from Papermania on my trip to the Home of Sugar Nellie Yesterday and I think they fit the bill perfectly. I stamped the image onto Kraft Cardstock, a bit of faux stitching some distress ink and voila. So simple why didn't I think of it before, I think I will make a batch of these up as there are 6 stamps in the set. It is a dull and rather chilly day here in the North East of Scotland - a perfect crafting day.<br />

My grandaughter leaves Primary School at the end of this term so I have made her a gift for her teacher, I hope she likes what I have come up with. I stamped Winking Student from <a href="http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/index.php">SUGAR NELLIE</a> on a canvas then coloured her with Promarkers. The wooden frame I have decoupatched, the sentiment is from <a href="http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/">CREATE WITH TLC</a> flowers are from my stash. I must admit I felt a little sad making this as it doesn't seem very long since she had her first day at Primary School.<br />

It has taken me all morning to work this one out, the images are from <a href="http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/">PAULETTE.</a> They are two seperate images I wanted to fade the Giraffe into the background with the sentiment on the top, after going through loads of copy paper I have printed it off onto 300gsm linen look cardstock and I hope I have acheived the desired effect. I look forward to hearing what you all think of it.<br />

The images used on todays card are from Woodware, the paper is called Up Up & Away from First Edition. The flower is made using a punch and the cardstock I used for matting & Layering. These are just some of the things I bought yesterday on my crafty shopping trip. There are so many other things I should be doing but what the heck they will still be there tomorrow and who can resist playing with new stash lol.<br />

I think this is such a sweet image it is from <a href="http://digitalpenciltoo.blogspot.com/">MO MANNING</a> the sentiment is another one from <a href="http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/">PAULETTE</a> she has a sentiment for everything. I have had a lovely day today I went to visit the home of <a href="http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/index.php">SUGAR NELLIE</a> I bought some lovely crafting goodies - well I chose them and himself paid for them lol.

The image and sentiment I have used are both from <a href="http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/">PAULETTE</a> I printed them directly into some white linen cardstock and coloured with Promarkers. I feel the beautiful image and sentiment are well suited to this type of card.<br />

The SUGAR NELLIE challenge on facebook this week was a white on white card. I have had this image coloured for a while but couldn't decide what I wanted to do with it so decided to use it today. She is called Fairy Tale from the Simply Sassy range and is available <a href="http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=47_118">HERE</a>. I have coloured her with Promarkers. Also used is a Cuttleubug embossed frame also some punched flowers and leaves.Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02073338798436995516noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072100862178826864.post-53082227124303584522011-03-07T15:37:00.000+00:002011-03-07T15:37:07.419+00:00LESS IS MOREThe theme this week over at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/">SIMPLY LESS IS MORE</a>is Pastel colours.
