My Guy Ian

I think this stamp is great for boys cards and I know I need help making these! I have stamped TGF 'My Guy Ian' available here out and coloured with Copic markers available here adding to base with DST. The base is simply two sheets of paper from a HOTP pack I bought from QVC years and years ago; I wasn't using it so I decided to cut up all the sheets into 6x6 so I now seem to go to them to look :0) Greeting stamped and added along with Pebbles Inc Candy Dots added to finish.

Miss Anya Love

This is the first time I have used this set from The Greeting Farm - available at Dies to Die for (Tracy has all the new ones in too) I am trying to get around to using all my stamps this year! I have stamped her out and coloured her with Copics (Tracy has a ton of these here too) and then cut out and added to base with DST. The base is simply two shades of purple Bazzill basics CS added to a white card blank. I have sprayed the flowers with Glimmer Mist then added these to the corner with a couple of punched MS Frond Branch punchies (which is here) I then added a couple of pins from Whiff of Joy to the flowers. Greeting added to a Stampin' Up! punched out oval which you can get from the lovely Jules.

Just wanted to say thank you to all those who left messages for my first day back at work, it went well and am trying to get back into the swing of things! :0)

Birgitta

The base is a sheet of Lemon Bazzill CS added to a white card blank followed by a layer of paper from the MY Favourite Things Spring Collection which can be found here.

Lazy Afternoon

Giveaway 2010 - Ribbon (CLOSED)

** THIS DRAW IS NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENTRIES **

Second of my giveaways is the ribbon. Again, nothing wrong with it at all just doing some spring cleaning and making way for some more new ribbon! Most of it is spotty but some is plain and all colours and sizes too!

So all you have to do is add your name to Mr Linky and I'll (try) and pick a winner on Wednesday 13th Jan. Thanks ang good luck. ** If you do not have a blog then you can still enter and use my addy as the URL! **

I would also like to just say thank everyone for their lovely get well messages, I am still undergoing tests as an outpatient and still off work due to the pain and side effects of the tablets but hopefully I will be on the mend soon.

Giveaway 2010 - Rub-ons (CLOSED)

** THIS DRAW IS NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENTRIES **

Sadly I haven't been able to make any cards as of yet, I am still off sick but have been able to go through some of my craft stuff and have a bit of a spring clean. I have some rub-ons and some ribbon to give away to you lovely people.

First up is the rub-ons, there is nothing wrong with these at all (they were replacements from Do Crafts when the first batch of rub-ons didn't work, those of us oldies will remember this lol) and some out of the packs have been used but most are intact, it is just that I haven't used them in a while and to save them just sitting in a draw I thought they may be in use to someone.

Apparently as a free member of Mr Linky you can only use one a day so for this draw can you please just leave me a comment but more than one comment or an inapropriate comment will be deleted, thanks! I will (try) and draw a winner on Wednesday 13th Jan.
