Hi Peeps,

Gosh I'm all behind.  I'm busy trying to prepare for a craft fair this weekend and usually I make my cards and they all too often end up in a box, so I have been frantically preparing them for sale.

I apologise for the quality of the photo, I went to take it on Sunday whilst still daylight but my camera had run out of battery, don't you just hate it when that happens. Hopefully you can still appreciate the corner bookmark and candle made using the adorable Bildmalarna - Mimosa Bird available from BunnyZoe, just so sweet.

I have also used the following products on my corner bookmark:-

Star of Wonder

Hiya Peeps,

I have a Christmas card for you today but have not used christmas paper.  I have used Lili of the Valley's "Star of Wonder". I had made a similar card on my blog a little while ago and a chap I work with wanted me to make a similar card again using the Lili of the valley image. I wasn't too sure about the paper choice at first but after I had coloured up the image and put it altogether I really liked the result. Hope you do too.

I have used my grey tones for shading, C5, C3, C1. 

I have shaded the image using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Broken China.

Copics Used:- 

Hat/Skirt - B04, B02, B01, BOO

Top - E31, E25, E50

Hi Peeps,

It's Black Friday at Bunny Zoe's starting right now at 10pm tonight, so don't delay........

Shabby and Vintage at Crafts and Me

Hiya Peeps,

I have a chap who likes to buy all his family special handmade Christmas Cards and always chooses images that aren't christmasy and I have to do my magic on them to make them look like a christmas card.  He wanted purples and black and an Art Deco image, so this is what I came up with.

The challenge if you haven't guess at Crafts and Me this week is "Shabby/Vintage" and the Bride/Flapper Art Deco image fitted beautiful.  Isn't she gorgeous. And if you haven't seen there is a new europe/international postage rate of £3.45, so you can shop until your heart is content.

I have of course coloured my image with copics and have added lots of texture in the form of snowtex and crackle paint on the chipboard snowflakes.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:-

Bearly Mine - My favourite things (Copics, distressing, snowtex, flowers, lace)

Oldie but a goodie - stamp older than 6 months and snowflakes

You'd better watch out Humphrey's about

Hiya Peeps,

Hehehe, couldn't resist that title.  I'm probably showing my age now but when I was a kid it was all the rage collecting stickers from the milkman with the saying, "watch out Humphrey's about", lol.  Anyway now I've embarrased myself I'll tell you a little about my card.

The image isn't a christmas one, but I looked at it  and can see so much potential and  these two reminded me of me and hubby cuddling by the christmas tree on Christmas morning. Ahhhhhhh.  I also see this image for an Anniversary or Valentines Day, so I can see this having lots of potential, what do you think?

A Touch of Art Deco

Hiya Peeps,

Well it's almost the weekend and I already know there's not going to be enough hours in the day.  It's Hubby's birthday weekend so we are out with friends tomorrow evening and again on Monday and I'm going with my son to see Twilight tonight, so all in all not alot of crafting time but I will have to try and fit it in here and there as I have 6 commissioned cards to do and need to prepare for a small craft fair that I am doing with my sister on 3rd December.  I'm also meant to be fitting the gymn in too, grrrrr, gosh I'm worn out thinking about it, lol.

Right, now I've bored you with my weekend activities I'll introduce you to my card today.  I have used one of the Art Deco Stamps from Crafts and Me called "Glamour" available HERE.   I got some gorogeous Graphic 45 paper from the recent Show at Alexandra palace which compliments this image well I think.
