Back to work!!

First day back at work today. Passed very quickly. The good weather helped too. Ordered my Beatrix Potter new cd and stamp collections today ahead of the launch this coming weekend. Must admit I've not used the first set yet.

Relaxed after tea and started crafting and made this purple themed card. I used one of the digistampboutique stamps again, and a selection of printable papers.

Going to have a nice hot relaxing bath now.

Chat soon.

Shop 'til you drop!!

Another nice day. John got the washing out early and it all dried, great!

I got my cricut cutting done this morning and after lunch Dan and I went a walk along the Deeside line and then back along the River Dee. We had a McFlurry in Asda and then went home.As promised last night I made a card from the digi stamp I coloured the other day.

Papers are from http://www.papercraftworld.com/ printable cds.

Hope you like it.

Another colouring day!

Awoke this morning to find that I had sold some more of my coloured stamped images. So I have been busy colouring them for posting. I just love my promarkers, could colour all day. I have quite a selection now. I'm sure I'll need some more soon!!

Love this digital stamp image from http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/ I will be making another card with this very soon, watch this space.

Digital stamps are great as you can print them any size you want.

It was a lovely day today, very warm. I changed into my lighter jacket and I have turned off my heating. I hope I won't need to put the heating back on or revert to my warmer jacket any time soon.

Got some cricut cutting to do tomorrow which will be a change from all my stamping and colouring of late.

Remember if you have any questions about the cricut, gypsy or design studio I am only too happy to help you.

Off to bed now, night.

It's late on Thursday night. I have been colouring with promarkers most of the night to be prepared for the sales of my stamped images on ebay. Have sold 3 sheets of the coloured knights, and have a bid on the Kanban cupcake stamped images.
To wind down I decided to make a card with my new stampin'up 'Lovely as a tree' stamp set I received today. The sentiment was also from a stampin'up stamp set called 'Wonderful Words'.

Hope you like it.

Off to bed now, chat again later.

Toppers only are available on my ebay page. See link to the right.

What a lovely day!

What a good feeling it was to wake up to a gloriously sunny day. I did a little housework then took my lunch and the boys off to the beach. We had a nice walk along the prom and then into town for afternoon tea.

Daniel had an eye test today which we thought would only take 40 mins tops but turned out to be a mega 1 hour 40 mins. They were running late!

We got home and had tea and then I decided to do a bit of crafting.

Using one of my http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/ stamps I made an anniversary card. I used my cuttlebug embossing folder to give texture to the top piece of card. And used my pro markers to colour the image. Hope you like it.

I then watched the final of Masterchef which was fab and was glad to see that Dhruv won. I will never be able to cook like that, especially under that amount of pressure.

Here's hoping for a nice day again tomorrow.

People you meet!!!

Filming for the One Show

Lovely guy.

Was only too happy to pose for this photo.

Holiday Disaster!!

We went on holiday to Eyemouth on Saturday. We stopped off in Perth and I had a look in the Stampaholics shop. I found some lovely new stamps from Magnolia Stamps. I had taken some inks and acrylic blocks with me thanks goodness. We arrived at the caravan, it was a lovely day! Sunday was cold and overcast. I stamped some of the new images, they were lovely. Monday and Tuesday it rained constantly all day and night with gale force winds too. Thanks goodness for craft! I had taken my pro markers with me and used them to colour my images. Love these images to bits they are so cute. Spent most of the time colouring the full sheets of images I had stamped. After 4 sleepless nights of cold and rain and the thought that the caravan was going to take off into space, we decided on Wednesday morning to come home early. Stopped in Dunfermline to see my friend Sheila and had to stamp some of the images for her too.

Colours of pro markers I used to colour the:

Elephant - Cool Grey 1 and 4 (for the knees) and Ivory.

Monkey - Cinnamon and Vanilla

Lion - Cinnamon, Vanilla, Henna and Ivory.

Shading was achieved by over colouring in the same colour.

First card made with the stamps.
