Wk34 Less is More

Just a very quick post at the mo as l have had a busy couple of days and wanted to post this card. I will be back this evening to catch up on what you have all been up to x Susan x

Less Is More Wk 34 - sketch to follow.

The stamp is from a little set by Personal Impressions and just love the little sentiment

Here comes the sun x

What a beautiful day of sunshine today and the weatherman says more to come. Do you ever start one small job and it turns out to take all day... l decided to tidy the conservatory which had been transformed into a toy room for the grandchildren - well l don't know how it all fit in there, l decided to move some of the boxes into the garage. Big mistake the garage was a right mess as my husband has had run of it this year, my car is now loaded to the brim with stuff for the tip tomorrow and when OH is golfing on monday l will be filling it again with more of his rubbish, l think my garage has become a place for - we might need it at some time in the future store lol.

My card today is the one l made for our sons birthday a week ago l don't often do male cards as l find them so hard.

The stamp and sentiment is LOTV coloured with copics still working on the grass (Thanks Pop's for tut on your blog). The papers are Stampin Up.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 170

Hello everyone, today has just flown by - could it be something to do with the nights getting darker earlier??? Dropped son off at cadets just after 6 popped into supermarket and it was dark when l came out just after 7, think l may be going into hibination soon lol .

Todays card is for the challenge over at Penny Black Saturday - the challenge is monchromatic and l have chosen yellow. The stamp is called A Touch and l have coloured it with copics and added some beads to the centres. I stamped the background in yellow in with a cover the page stamp called vines - so easy to do when you don't have just the right coloured backing paper. Stickles around the panels - l wish l had shares in the company l seem to be using loads. Ribbon, button and flower from a Papermania capsule collection l have had for ages.

Thank you for stopping by and a BIG Thank You for all the lovely comments left on my blog recently, l have been feeling very down lately and you all cheer me up x Susan x

Bah Humbug wk 38

Hope you have all had a good weekend and enjoyed yourselves. I have been putting the finishing touches to a cardigan l started at the beginning of the year for my grandaughter, so todays card is one l mae yesterday for the Bah Humbug challenge this week which is Rudolph or Reindeer. I have managed to use stamps l have not used before (still lots to go at lol ). I used the brayer to make my background, the reindeer and verse stamp are both from Inkylicious and the tree is from Clarity Stamps, The sentiment stamp is from Stampin up, a bit of glitter here and there. The flash on the camera has left a light on the card but l am not a whizz with the camera so it is the best l can do.

Cupcake Challenge 160

Hello lovely people, l hope you are all having a good weekend and enjoying some crafty time. I have been in my room ages and only made one card, l am trying to keep my stamps all logged so l know what l have and where to find it - in theory it works well but one box has creeped in from somewhere and stamps have jumped into all by themselves so l have given them a good talking too and told them to behave. I have also sorted my copics into some sort of order.

The card..... l saw this challenge at the being of the week and the stunning card Coops has posted there, l had some black card lying around and as some know l am trying to use stamps l have not inked before (they can then be logged and put away) I can not remember how long l have had this little lady from Pink Gem designs but the colour challenge fits her well and halloween is not far away, l coloured her with copics and prismas, l coloured a background and stamped this lovely spiders web (Lavinia stamps), the boo stamp is from Stampin up. The background paper is Back to Basics ll.

Dise cut and punched snowflakes and a bit of dotty vellum in corner. glitter glitter glitter everywhere lol sentiment is also LOTV.

This card is my second for this weeks challenge - Chrissie and Mandi are hoping for 1000 entries - come on crafters. The stamps are from Stampin Up set - Baroque Motifs stamped in white ink although it does look grey. I have added gems to the centres, these are the sparkliest gems l have ever seen they are from SU a bit pricey but very pretty the sentiment is also SU. Thank you for stopping by x Susan x
