Get Krafty

 

Hi all hope your well.

I don't know where time is going, half term

flew by in the blink of an eye, my son

had a fantastic time in Paris with school.

He even enjoyed looking round the Louvre 

which is so not him.

Wonders never cease.

It's time to get krafty over at 

Papertake weekly.

So lets get that kraft card out and 

have a play.

We are sponsored this week by the fabulous 

Ribbon Girls who have 

a £10 voucher up for grabs.

 

I thought i would finally have a go at

colouring onto Kraft card.

I have seen lots of beautiful cards where

this technique has been used, let

me tell you it's harder than what you think.

I struggled a bit with my shading and had to

pile the colour on quite a few times.

I was quite pleased with the end result, though 

more practise is needed.

The Kraft card is from Papermania.

I used my Polychromos Pencils and

sansodor blended with paper stumps.

The papers are from doodlebug (i think)

I found them shoved in with another paper

pack, i remember buying them as loose sheets.

Hold that

Yes they are Doodlebug i just had a look and 

it's printed on the back Durrr!

The flowers are Prima.

Sentiment is from Tim Holtz.

Punched leaves Martha Stewart.

Marianne Creatables die shape.

Ribbon and Lace from stash. 

Well that's all folks so please pop over and

have a look at the challenge and see the other 

DT's cards they are fab.

Thanks for stopping by

Take care

Love U

Hi all hope all's well with you.

It's Papertake time again and this

week we have a colour theme.

Black, White and Red all over.

(with the exception of hair and skin).

This weeks sponsor is 

Whiff of Joy.

 

I have made another valentine card,

i give one to Beth every year so this is 

for her.

I have used this fabulous Teddy Bea image

i had actually printed it out a while ago with 

all the extra balloons to use this idea,

and have been waiting for the right time

to use it.

I have used promarkers to colour her in.

The sentiment is stamped with

 Tatty Teddy alphabet stamp set.

I have used a Marianne creatables die.

Ribbon and Gems from stash.

Please go and check out the wonderful 
work from my fellow Dt's and

i hope to see all your fabulous card over at

Papertake.

I am also going to enter my card into this times 

Teddy Bo and co challenge which is

Love is in the air.

Here is just a quick pic to show

how the daffs are doing.

As you can see they have

started to open, they are beautiful,

they make me smile every time i go into

the kitchen.

Lets hope they are the promise of

 warmer weather to come.

Thanks for stopping by today

Take care

Cosy Ta dah

Ta Dah

Hi all hope you're well.

It's last day of school for my little ones

then we can have a week off.

It should be a nice peaceful one as

my eldest is off to Paris with school

(alright for some).

So there will be no sibling rivalry.

Here we are then i've finished the cosy.

Actually it wasn't to bad to do really, 

quite easy, i love the pleat effect.

 

Flitting around blog land a lot of people

seem to be using wooden needles these days

so i thought i would have a go.

Searching on eBay i came across some 

Cath Kidston goodies

 And wooden knitting needles.

The best thing is they're all

unwanted Christmas gifts so are 

brand new and half the RRP.

I've got a nice little set happening here.

I must say they are really good to knit with

smooth and unlike my metal ones warm in your hand.
I would recommend them.

Oh well it's back to blanket squares again

I will finish, I will finish.
Just keep saying that to myself.

Take care 

With Love

Hi there hope you are well.

It's getting to that time of the year

when Love is in the air.

and it's no different over at

Papertake weekly.

This week we have an

Anything goes week

with the optional extra of using a heart

or do a love theme.

we are sponsored by the girls 

over at Lili of the Valley

I have gone 

super size with this card 

it's my first 8x8 card

and gosh it was hard to fill up.

I decided to go large because the image

was way to big for my usual 6x6.

I had to find extra bit's then to fill the space.

The image is SWALK stamp from 

Crafters companions, and coloured with promarkers.

The sentiments are from an old 

stamp set i have from Elusive images.

The flourishes are from a Tim Holtz die.

Papers are from Joanna Sheens romance CD ROM.

The heart button i made out of a heart 

cut out of cardboard and coloured with

distress inks. Punched holes and then

triple embossed with clear embossing powder.

I made a few of these in one go in all sorts of colours.

I think i will give it to my other half for

valentines day.

please check out Papertake and see all the fabulous 

work the other DT's have made.

I have had a pause at the moment with

the granny squares

when you have to make 400 +

they can get a bit samey.

So i'm having a bit of a break.

Looking through the latest copy of 

simply knitting i came across a 

fab pattern for a tea cosy and

in my favourite colours to,

so i just had to make it.

Here's a sneaky peak of were i'm up to.

This was yesterday afternoon the 

sun came out so i sat in the 

conservatory it was bliss.

I'll be back when it's finished to show you 

until then

Take care

More daff pots

Hi all hope you are well and not 

to cold.

Well as usual it has snowed everywhere

in the country except on us in the 

North west, all we had was rain.

Which then froze, it was pretty yuck really.

I have seen some of the snow pic's

people have posted in blog land and

they look wonderful.

oh well we can dream.

The reason for today's post is to

show you what happens 

when you find something addictive.

You might remember my post from last week

Well

They multiply

Wow i have just noticed looking at

the picture from last week and 

then this one today how much the

daffs have grown.

Yes i did buy some more when i went food shopping.

The daffs were a good bargain, i got them

from Morrisons they had them on at 50pa pot,

half price so i couldn't resist.

Then once i got home i had to make the pot covers,

luckily they are quick to make as i couldn't

wait and

If you are wondering

no
i'm not sick of pineapples yet.

Take care
