Its been awhile...

Wow, been quite a while since I last posted on my craft blog.
Been very busy with work, going to New York, a craft weekend, more work!
But thought that I would try and start to blog regular again to keep me 
inspired as found I've had a lack of mojo lately!

So here is my first offering for a while, using Cristy Croll (Tiddly Inks) Unicorn
from the Fantasy Friends collection - http://tiddlyinks.com/fantasy-friends/


Using promarkers, I've coloured in my unicorn with the following:

Body - Ivory, Satin and Blush
Mane/Tail - Pastel Blue, Denim and Cornflow
Edge - Almond

Heart I've done by colouring some card with Paper Soft paints in 
Blue and Purple, then stamping a background image it on with 
Distress Ink Peacock Feathers, which I've then used my xcut Heart 
nesting die to cut out the shape and the largest heart to create 
a backing piece in the light blue card.

Pretty butterfly background paper is from Dreamcatcher (by First Edition)

Upwards and Onwards


Almost the last day of October and the spookiest night of the year, however do you know what isn't spooky...
This adorable image by Heidi! As soon as she put it up to use I had to have it and knew the perfect card to use it on! It was like a magically crafting inspiration moment, the image and then the perfect sentiment.

So here is my leaving card for a girl at work who left last week! 

Balloon Birdie is available here:

Coloured in with Promarkers:

Birdie: Pastel Blue, Blue Pearl and Cornflower
Balloon: Amethyst, Orchid and Blossom
Outline: April Shower

See you all in November!

Beer Monster


Make card he asks, make a card for a guy on the team he asks! 
ARGH! Mens cards always trouble me, however luckily for this individual I did have the perfect image... hehehe along with some perfect manly papers!

Freebie stamp from Polly Crafts awhile back, coloured in with promarkers (don't ask me which I've since tidy it up, sorta lol) and a printed sentiment using a download font from www.dafont.com
Oh and to finish... GOOGLY EYE! lol

I am quite impressed with my beer colouring here

Oh but we're only 10 days away from my favourite-est night of the year <|:D

Coloured in this cute little guy from Kraftin' Kimmie the other week and got round to putting him on a card at yesterdays crop (see Gorgeous Girl post for details lol).  

I adore this halloween paper, so have left the card quite minimal as every time I went to add a new element a section of the paper I liked got covered.  I did however add 3 doodlebug halloween gems (that I've had YEARS) and the cute little bat which is was popped out of decopage set by Daisy and Dandelion.

Roll on spooky candy night :D
