Crazy Photographer

I would have posted this last night but someone had left the camera chip in the computer. LOL

The camera did take the photos but of course with no chip to put them on........

I am leaving my run a little late but I am getting there Hazel.

This is for CHNC- Seasonal Silver.

Now I am a gold person myself so I found this a little harder

but am very happy with the way the silver has photographed I expected it to flash back.

Maybe because it is very dull today was a good thing.

Didn't realize this was a Christmas Tilda until I got her stamped up and found the holly in her hair.

I made her a honey blonde and really like it that is just 

some Y20 in with E50 and E53.

Have added some Crystal stickles to her dress and round her feet

The Merry Christmas is one border embossing folder and as it was to long to use I cut it up. 

Thanks for dropping in you are most welcome.

Thank you for all your kind comments.

Men.........

Less is More have asked for a masculine card today.

Took me all of 5 minutes and that was choosing the font to use on the computer!!!!!!!!!!!!

The words are computer generated.

The stamp is an Art Impressions which I have had for years.
Bought it in the days when Lighthouses and seagulls on posts were all the rage.
Now that is giving away my age isn't it?
It hasn't seen the light of day for a long time

Have just whizzed over to Less is More.
Wow....... have you seen the lovely cards over there perhaps mine had better stay here.

Only joking

Less is More- Masculine card

It's Autumn in the air

It was very autumnal this morning and I was glad of my dressing gown and the evenings are drawing in too. Soon be time to put the clocks back.  Not looking forward to the winter one little bit

especially as we have had no summer to speak of.

Just Magnolia wanted a card in your favourite colours but I have so many favourites.

I chose these peachy colours that have come out rather darker on the photo.

Simon says wanted a birthday card to wish Lorraine a Happy Birthday.

I hope you have/had a very happy one Lorraine.

Once I have decorated the inside of this card it is going to wing its way to Essex to wish my sister a Happy Birthday.

It is all Birthdays at the moment I had mine early in the month and my eldest daughters was last week. 

In fact we had 9 birthdays in 10 days this month!!!!

This Tilda is one of my friend Lisa's I think she is just so cute.

Coloured of course with my copics.

Hair E50-53-35

Seeing stars

My first Christmas card of the year made with left over scraps from last year and then I found
 Die cut dreams challenge was Starlight Starbright
I just couldn't resist using one of the Tildas of Lisa's that I had stamped up.

I have had a change from square cards too  this weekend and
the stars were made from a very small scrap of gold card
which I put through my Big Shot and cuttlbug stars folder

By careful placement it just made those 2 stars which I then cut out
so this makes the card right for Magnolia down under who want 2 of.

Now I will have a wander and see if I can find any other challenges that it will fit.


Magnolia stamp lovers- Die cuts

Maybe too Green

This is certainly green and yes I think spring like but maybe too green.
Green is not usually a colour that I really go for but it is good sometimes to get out of your comfort zone.

This is a stepped card should have taken a side view.
It has a 2cm step in the front.

2 posts in 2 days

Yes things are looking up.  No it is just that we have a long weekend here and I am dedicating it to
trying to get ahead of myself preparing cards for classes.
I even have some of the instructions typed out ready wonders will never cease.

I saw this Less is more challenge and as I need a birthday card for my daughter for next Tuesday
thought I would give it a go.
I have made an insert with some lovely pastel paper with roses on it.
You see my daughter sees my cards as I make them so I had to make something new for her.
You would have thought I could have got the sentiment straight though.

This really is a challenge as one layer and you have all that empty space.

Have coloured with copics but couldn't use spray on smooch or glimmer mist
and didn't want anything as heavy as glues and glitter or stickles so it is just plain and unadorned.

Less is more  One layer off the page

How time flies

Where did that last month go I don't remember most of it.

Was away for a week up in the north of the state and found this adorable stamp by Kaiser at my friends shop

that I just could not resist so this afternoon I have been busy

 and am quite happy with the 2 cards that I have made which is something as I  usually

fnd fault with everything I do.

Am sorry that the with love embossed on the red one does not show up.
Am not going to tell you it is hiding a Woops.

Took my Tilda's with me when I went away and my friend Lisa and I
exchanged them for the night and stamped away so I have some new ones that are
waiting for me to get colouring.

Joy oh Joy Tilda's are now in Hobart you can find them at Craft Creations sorry no website.


Thank you all for dropping in and for you kind comments

Lucky day

This has been my lucky day, I went shopping at Bunny Zoe's and found Nikki had 10% off for one day only.

So now I can't wait for my new Tilda's

Today I am following the sketch at Gem of a Challenge and the colours from

Magnolia-licious Red, Black and Pink.

This was not the easiest combination.

I kept the Black to the bare minimum as I don't really like the colour but it has it's uses for layering

Sorry for the Black background but used that to show the card off.

The DP was a scrap that I had left over and I think it is Bo Bunny.

I have just a few small pieces over and still have to come up with the inside of the card.

The doily I went over with the palest pinkTombow just to take off the harshness of the white.

The leaves were a Leonie Em punch and the flowers Prima

which I have sprayed with glimmer mist.

Totally Tilda- How does your garden grow

Picture quality not so good

Sorry about that but the light is not so good today a bit overcast.

You can see that I am no photographer.

Still press on regardless.

Would you believe I have had this stamp "All night media" one
for approx 10 years and never used it before.

It is so beautiful. 
When I went through my stamps after Christmas I thought this is one for my copics.

 

The colours I have used may surprise you a bit.

V15 V01

YG63 G82

R00 R81

and V12 for the border

 The Bazzill I used was Wisteria one of my all time favourites and Jubilee

and the DP was Kaiser from the fantasy range.

I followed the sketch in the Totally Gorjuss challenge

Had my eyes checked today after the laser treatment.
The right eye has improved but the left is still the same. However the haze behind the eyes is all gone.
 Could have new glasses but as I only wear them for driving and close work
decided to wait till my next check up in 12 months.

I am becoming very daring......

Well I really am using colours that I would have been scared to in the past.

That Green Bling is really quite loud for me.

I had this lovely DP paper that had been sitting in my cupboard for too long

and the lovely Tilda already coloured and the 2 just seemed to go together.

I seldom put sentiments on my cards adding them when I need the card to use.

However Totally Stampalicious were asking for something other than HB etc

and this can be used for a friendly  RAK card.

I know a card like this right out of the blue can give one a lift.

Copics used:

Hair C3 C5 C7
Skin E00 E11 R20
Dress YG11 YG41
Peticoat Y21
Shoes C5 C7.
The DP was Kaiser
And the green Bling Bazzill
The cream was Timeless

Black and White

I have never made a wedding card like this before but decided

to try my hand when I heard that a lot of weddings
these days have bridesmaids in black.
Can't remember what the paper was that I used but it was rather lovely
says me who dislikes black.
I made all the roses out of shimmer paper yes even the very tiny ones at the bottom.

Two I edged with a pale yellow copic.

The card That I was going to post today took over from me and ended up

doing it's own thing.

Am I the only one that this happens to. 

I am now tossing up whether to throw it in the bin or give it to someone I don't like.....

No I would never do that but there is always someone

out there who will like it and see nothing wrong with it.

Where ever you are I hope you are not too hot or too wet or too cold.

Thank you for dropping in you are very welcome.
