On A Wing And A Prayer....

Hi, so you may remember a couple of cards ago that I mentioned that I send my Brother and SisterIL's cards together?

Well here is my brothers card....

A bit different to my usual style but I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

I have used an image from Sassy Cheryl called A Wing and a Prayer.

I coloured with copics this time, although  am now preferring my promarkers to colour with.

The background is prismacolor pencil.

I cut the hill with my new Lawn Fawn border dies which I was inspired to buy by Karen who makes LOADS of amazeballs cards with them.

Thanks loads for dropping by :)

A Bubble Kind Of Wish

Hi lovely Peeps :) It is such a stunningly beautiful day here today.

I won't make this a long post as I want to get outside and enjoy it before it gets too hot.

Today I have a card made with a Lia Stamps image coloured with promarkers to share with you.

I have used a sketch from Paper Play Sketches for the layout...

I have used papers from the My Girl stack by American crafts and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The beautiful sequins are from SpiegelMom Scraps.

I am entering in the following challenges apart from the sketch mentioned above....

Creative Moments - Anything Goes with optional sentiment on front

Allsorts Challenge - Feminine 

Crafty Friends - Flowers

ADFD Card For Carolyn

Way back in January it was my sister in law's birthday. And last week it was my brothers.  Me being quite a bit Scottish descended I don't like to waste money, so I always send their cards together.  I know, tight aye ;)

I have recently rediscovered my love for A DAY FOR DAISIES stamps, I used to use these ALL the time but then I started doing more DT work which meant I had to use certain images and many of my much loved stamps and companies were put on the back burner.  Well now I'm back (haha just had a Gloria Gaynor moment) and embracing all those stamp companies I love.

For this card I have used an image called "A Special Flower" I have coloured her up with promarkers....

The papers are MME Stella & Rose - Mabel. The flowers are from Fancy Pants

and I cut the sentiment on my silhouette cutter.

Thanks loads for dropping by,

Mad Keen Hunter Layout

Yesterday was the last Saturday of the month so that means Otane Scrap Crop day.

Yesterday was my second time and I love it!!!  I blasted out 3 and a bit layouts.  Today I am sharing one which is based on a sketch at STUCK?! Sketches

Here is my layout....

and here is the sketch I followed...

I have flipped it as you will be able to tell.

I used papers from Fancy Pants' Happy Go Lucky collection.  I would normally have sewn the circle with a sewing machine but since I was at a crop and didn't see the sewing machine in the corner until I was onto my third layout I have used bakers twine.

The alphas are thickers and the other bits and pieces are all from my stash.

Thanks loads for dropping by

Ode To Summer.....

I think this year has been the best summer in absolutely ages!

Lots of lovely swimming weather along with enough rainy days to keep our tanks ticking over without the water tanker being called on. 

So as a little homage to the gorgeous summer I have created this card using the sketch from Sketch Saturday 

The image is from All Dressed Up and the papers are Stella & Rose - Mabel by My Minds Eye.

I cut the sentiment on my silhouette.  The image is coloured with Promarkers which I just picked up for a bargain from a lady on a colouring group on FB.

Thanks loads for dropping by to see my summery card.
