Cross Stitch makes!

Hi Everyone!

It's been a while!  I hope there is someone still out there!

I have been doing less card making recently and more cross stitching.

I find  it so relaxing and it still offers me a creative outlet when I am not colouring or card making!

So I thought I would share some things I have done over the recent months.

I don't think I have shared any of them before!

First up are some Lili of the Valley fairies.  They are so cute!  They are a set of 12 calendar fairies and I am well on the way to completing all of them. 

I plan on getting them framed and put up in my craft room once they are all complete. 

So here they are:

They were such fun and didn't take long to do!

I believe you can find the downloadable patterns here at the Lili of the Valley website.

I hope you like them and I will be back soon with some more cross stitch makes!

Thanks for sticking with me!

Peek A Boo!!

Hi Everyone!

Well its been a while!  Almost 2 years!  Is there anybody still out there ??!! LOL!

I have had a little break from paper crafting.  I have dipped in every now and then but not really doing very much.  I have been cross stitching though and I will share some of the things I have been doing in a later post.

More recently I have suddenly got the urge to start colouring again.  Partly due to Faye's copic colouring classes but also seeing all the great work on Facebook, which I am still following and looking at closely!

So... I thought I would dip my toe in again!  Mind you getting to grips with Blogger again after 2 years was a challenge in itself!  I had forgotten everything!  I am not going to be producing lots and lots but I will see how it goes!

So I thought I would start off with a gentle card to get me started!

This was such fun to do!  The stamps are from Taylored Expressions - Pocketful of Sunshine.  I used my Lil'Inker Stitched Square for the white base and then my MFT Peek A Boo Circle Windows (purchased from Dies to Die For). I then just added the sequins (also from Taylored Expressions). 

The copic colours are:

Frog - YG01, YGO3, YG63

Chicken - Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17 

(I think its a chicken, it could be a duck!)

So be gentle with me!  I will be back again soon with another make!

Lots of Love

Fab Friday - Tiddly Inks!

Hi All!

Its a very sad day for me today!  Its my very last card as part of the Tiddly Inks Design Team (sniff, sniff!)  Its been amazing being part of such an amazing, talented team.  And of course using all the gorgeous images from Christy!  Thank you ladies for having me!  

So onto my last Fab Friday card:

I have used the cropping technique again that I used yesterday and decided to go with some funky hair for a change!  The image is called "Wryn Happy Mail" and the sentiment is part of the set.  I have coloured with copics and used my white gelly roll pen to create the polka dots on her dress.  I added some pearls and glamour dust, oh and the border was done on my PC.  

I hope you can pop on over to the main blog to see all the gorgeous inspiration today and saw farewell to the outgoing DT girls!  It won't be the last time I use the Tiddly Inks images anyway so I will be back!!  

Have a great day!

Love and Hugs

Anything Goes - The Sugar Bowl!

Morning Everyone!

Hope you are all well!  Isn't the weather awful at the moment, its supposed to be summer, it feels more like winter at the moment!!  

I am here today with my project for the new challenge over at the Sugar Bowl!  As usual the theme is:

"Anything Goes"

However you MUST use a Sugar Nellie image available from Funky Kits:

Here is my card:

I have used "Love Letters" from the Simply Sassy range.  I have cropped the image and kept it CAS style.  I have been wanting to use this technique for a while.  I cropped the image and enlarged to fit my card blank.  I think its come out ok!  It gives you so many more options with your digi images!  

I coloured her with copics.  The sentiment is from my stash and I added some glamour dust and pearls.  

Please pop on over to the main challenge blog for more details and all the gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team!
