It's a Thank you thing!!

Hi , my post today is an overdue Thank You to lovely Karen at Sugar Nellie, I won the latest release stamp from Simply Sassy, I give you my heart.

 and this is my card using the pretty stamp, I think she's gorgeous and it was lots of fun using her on my card. Hope you like it too, The background is stamped with Artemio stamps  and the sentiment from Happy Daze, Catslife Press, lots of circular greetings, great to personalize. I paper pieced her dress and legging with doodlebug paper.

I used a blue heart from some confetti and put some Tim Holtz crackle paint on it and was really pleased how it turned out, it's cracked in a star , how about that!

Of course now the crackle glaze has come off, WARNING HERE............. here don't use it on foil stars:0)











This award came from the lovely Spyder, Thank you so much, it is a very welcome gift. I would like to offer this award to all of my lovely followers. You all deserve it, display it with pride on your blog and Many Thanks go to you for your support, it's the wonderful comments that spur me on to try and improve.
Keep warm everyone. Bye for now:0)

OLW 30 Inspiring minds

Hello chilly people, hope it's not too cold where you are:0)

 Today I've been inspired by the OLW challenge hosted by Jennifer Styles
 Jennifer has challenged us to be inspired by the artist Walter Erhard, some of his work is here.

Very interesting stuff, I had a go and was really taken by this card and totally copied it

Right I thought "I like that", so I made this

and then these

Great fun and I've now got a few more Christmas cards made, Yay! for me and many thanks to Jennifer for her wonderful idea:0)

Wrap up warm people and have a lovely day wherever you are:0) xx

WOYWW 77 and I've lost count how many for me!

 Good morning and Happy Woyww 77,

 Sun is shining in the sky, Sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey!

Yes, yes it's a very old song  I know but you have to make allowances for the old folk(me). Up with the lark this morning to rush over and look after my lovely sick Grand daughter but wasn't needed so I'm gonna bug you Woyww ers instead. Desk not too bad was up late again, can't seem to get an early night doesn't matter how hard I 'intend'  :0)
This is 'tother end of desk, Tidy, yeah impressed Huh? I can do it sometimes especially when other half shares that bit. Right I'm off to have a snoop, have a lovely day people TTFN :0)
OOh oh oh, I forgot to say, If you would like some idea what all this desk hopping is about pop over to Julia's and all will be revealed HERE

Friends Birthday.............................

Hello crafty people, I'm back again, got lots of cards to be making this month.

This is for a wonderful friend who I don't get to see often enough but always when we meet it's like we've just met last week except there's so much to catch up on. She doesn't read my blog so I think I'm, safe putting it here.



I used some velvet paper and embossed it with a Tim Holtz Texture Fade, retro circles I was quite happy how that turned out, it didn't spoil the velvet nature of the paper but added texture.
The image is from A Day for Daisies
 The sentiment from Happy Daze, Catslife press, Sentiment seals
And the little circle sentiment from Lily of the Valley the new Calendar set
 I used Copics to colour and some Diamond Glaze for the apples.
Gosh that's an awful lot of links! I need to go and make some more(cards, not links) so TTFN, have fun:0)
