My First Bookmark

Evening Peeps,

A late post from me so I will keep it quick. I wanted to enter the Creative Inspirations Bookmark challenge this week and the bank holiday threw me completely, so I have been beavering away in my craft room since I got in from work, so hopefully I have made it in time. In my mind I wanted to get three done, one for my Daughter, one for my Son and one for little ole me, but as with all my colouring and crafting, nothing is quick, lol. So here is my first ever crafted bookmark.

I have coloured this Elisabeth Bell "Tasty Read" image using copics.

All in Blue

Evening Peeps,

Hope everyone in the UK is enjoying the extended weekend. I have had a long lay in this morning and Hubby made me breakfast in bed, lol, don't get too excited it was only toast. Nevertheless, I did appreciate it. I have also chilled whilst the boys went out to football and watched "Leap Year", gotta watch those sort of films without the boys around, they just don't appreciate girlie films.

I made this card using my neglected whiff of joy stamp, available from Crafts and Me and using one of my favourite colours, blues.

I have coloured her of course using copics and distressed around the outer images using Tim Holtz Distress InkOld Paper.

Afternoon Peeps,

Sorry about the delay in announcing the Candy winner but I don't know how to get the Random Org into my post so I have taken a photo only for my camera battery to go flat, grrrrrrrr.  Anyway without further ado...... drum roll........................ the winner is Lou.  Congratulations Lou, email me, click on the fairy on the left, so I can get your candy off to you.

Still Funky at 50!

Morning Peeps,

I know I've been absent this week but I decided last week that my craft room needing sorting as everywhere I looked it just looked a real mess. So I purchased some A4 storage boxes and everything now has a home. I also filed all my stamps CD cases, popped a stamped image on the front of each CD and popped them into storage boxes on the shelfs too. So it looks tidy but kind of weird to work in, lol, and I'm sure I won't be able to find anything.

Anyway, enough of my waffling, today's card is my DT card for Craftalicious and the theme this week has been chosen by the fabulous Tasha and is "Green and Purple". Our sponsor this week is "Some Odd Girl" and the DT were fortunate to choose one of these really funky images. I have chosen 80's Kaylee as I had to do a birthday card for my SIL's 50th birthday and thought this would be ideal and she never really left the 80's, lol.  She's still grooving and still hitting the pubs! Let's hope she likes it and doesn't leave it in the pub!
