Stampotique in the Pink!!

Well I can't believe this but  I'm still here they haven't disconnected us yet, I bet they do before I get to post this.................:0) Well maybe not! ( I'm getting a new internet supplier and may not be around for a week or so, I will be back as soon as I am able)

Hi there!, here is my card for the Stampotique designers challenge, this time it's purple pink, and black! A very nice colour combo:0)

I got really messy and inky today but you're not going to see the mess I made, I should rephrase that, you wouldn't want to see the mess I made LOL
 Stampotique's cute characters lend themselves to being cut up and grouped together, I did enjoy making this.
Thanks for stopping!! Gay x

Rudolph day !!

Hi there everyone,  I'm getting in quick before they cut me off:0) A quick post for Rudolph day at Sarn's
I'm a bit late but feel it's probably better late than never LOL

 This little Santa is a lot of fun, I love the whole idea of "you have to be good for pressies!!"
Talk about bribery and corruption LOL. Santa was coloured in copics and Diamond glaze added to the lights, hope you like!

I hope to be back soon, Gay x

I used a stamp from a company that's ceased trading for the Santa and the lights are from Stamps by Judith.

OLW 80 and awful internet !!

Hi there everybody, I am fed up!! I've had no internet since Friday and basically it's driven me nuts although I got a lot more done LOL
 I hope you are having a great weekend:0)
Over at Susan's blog Simplicity she has set us a challenge that goes like this,

 OLW80 Rules

1. A one-layer card is defined as a single layer of card stock folded in half. No other layers allowed.

2. Use two colors PLUS two images PLUS masking. Sentiments, if included, must be in one of the two colors.

3. Keep embellishments to a minimum.

4. Upload your card somewhere on the internet and then link to it using the InLinkz tool on the sidebar of Simplicity!

5. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!


Well I had a go and I had fun. There's just one cat on the stamp sheet so I used my brayer to do the mirror image and on this card it's not immediately obvious that it needed masking but I wanted a background so I masked the little cats, you can just see the shape through the post its, I just had a thought......fancy if they made transparent post its now wouldn't that be grand???



 I hope to post my Rudolph day card a little later, if we still have internet :0) Sorry Sandra, I'm late!!!
And I'm going to try and visit, you have left me so many lovely comments, Thanks so much,. Gay xx


I used
Stamps by Paper Smooches, Chubby Chums.

 Edited to say, I will probably not be around much , my connection is dreadful and on Tuesday will be switched off completely,. So Wednesday BT come ( if we're lucky!!) To connect us again for the telephone but not to their internet that won't be for 1 maybe even 2 weeks but by then we're off for a holiday break! It may be quite a while till I get back to see you again, don't forget me folks LOL

A little vintage shabby?

Hello and welcome to Saturday here on my blog and also at the Craft Barn, we have been a bit vintagy! I have attempted, vintage and simple? Well I tried LOL

I had a lot of fun doing this card, I love taking cards to the bare minimum and here I hoped to suggest vintage rather than show it and these dies are just brilliant! A lot of detail around the edge suggests a doily, to me :0)

This next card is using one of the motif dies from the same Spellbinders set . I'm totally hooked on these lovely shapes. All the details of these cards are on the Craft Barn blog and the stuff I used is available at the Craft Barn online
Thanks for stopping to have a look, I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Gay xx
 p.s Still having massive problems with my internet so I may have to rely on some scheduled posts and I hope you will forgive me if I can't respond. Rest assured I will be back! Said in good  'ol Arnie fashion LOL!
