Because your wonderful

Hiya Peeps,

Me again with my Monday Simply Sassy Post and I'm excited today.  Tomorrow I fly off to Turkey for my holiday, yayyyyyy.  Goodness it's certainly been a busy month and of course I'm at the Stamperama Show on the Crafts and Me Stand on the Sunday after I return, so I have had to be super organised with getting my cards done as no time once I return.  Hopefully I will get some chill time in August!

Right, today's card is using Team Spirit available from Funky Kits.

A Breezy Day

Morning Peeps,

I have posted today my first card for Copic Maker Europe and if you haven't hopped over you really should, there's tips, tutorials, an awesome design team oozing inspiration, not sure why I'm on it, lol, colour charts and everything you need to know about copics, so hop on over and follow and of course a little support wouldn't go amiss.  I have used a Hanglar image and I apologise for the amount of pictures but I always find Easels and Stair Steps difficult to photograph as you know so there are several so you don't miss any of the little details, and I'm certainly a girl who loves her embellishments.

If you click on the pictures you will get a better view.

I did warn you , more pictures and more embellishments!

Isn't she just adorable. I drew the scattered clouds using my copics.

This is the back. I have made a pocket and popped two tags in so you can write your message and stamp a sentiment if required.

And here's the copics I used.

Ingredients:-

Medium Copics as above picture

Image by Hanglar & Stanglar

Papers by Pion

Go Kreate Die

Magnolia Doohickety Tag, Swirl Heart, Fence Die

Green, Blue and White Acrylic paint 

Leaves and butterfly are lasercut chipboard embellishments from Make It Crafty/Quixotic Paperie

Flowers and seam binding from stash

Tickets and Distress ink from Tim Holtz
Mini buttons (on tags on back of card)

I have entered my card into the following challenges:-

Just Magnolia and Stanglar - Buttons, Bows and Blooms

Me again Peeps,

Just a quickie as I'm meant to be celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary so I'm trying to schedule this post without him seeing, hehehe. I did get a card from him saying "on our wedding anniversary" and he had to handwrite 25th inbetween the our and wedding, good old Tesco Express.  Not really up to my quality I think!  However I did receive a dozen red roses, so he is slightly forgiven but still has alot of sucking up to do.

Right, quick, I must get on with this post.  My card today is for our challenge over at Crafts and Me and the lovely Teresa has chosen the theme of "add a flower".  Well this was really hard for me, not. Gosh I'm rambling again, right here you go.........

Isn't the image by Jasmine Beckett Griffiths gorgeous!   Sorry I haven't got a pic of the copics, I've been working on so many images on my desk this month that they all got mixed up and when I did get organised to take a picture my camera had no battery in, grrrrrrr.
