Kanban "Time Machine" card samples

I thought you might like to see what you can do with the new Time Machine range from Kanban

A few Die cut gears and clock faces were added

Some embossing folders and Distress Inks were used

So what do you think of these?

Winner of Craftroom clearout candy #3

Good afternoon. I have reached 340 followers and as promised I have a winner.

The winner is

Tanya......................................................My Scrappin and stampin corner

Congrats Tanya. Please send me your address and I will send your candy out to you. Can you also confirm that you are happy about me sending you a Paypal invoice for a contribution of £2 towards the postage.

Thank you to everyone who left their views about me asking for a contribution to postage. I have sent out so much candy recently and still have a lot more to offer but, the cost of posting was getting out of hand.

I am only asking for contributions on the larger heavier candy NOT the small ones

I will post more candy later this week.

Craftroom clearout candy #3....and a thought

Candy ends 3rd February or when I reach 340 followers whichever comes first.

Also, I feel I am being a bit cheeky here, but I have spoken about this to some of my blogging friends.
How would you feel if I was to ask for a contribution towards the postage for these larger candy wins, say £2.They have been costing me about £5+ to post. I realise that this may put people of entering but with the economy the way it is I love to give stuff away but the cost is getting a bit out of hand. Perhaps you can leave a comment about this in the comment box and please feel free to be as honest as you want

Keeping it simple

Saturday means another challenge at Totally Gorjuss. You might like this one.

The sponsor this week is the wonderful Lili of the Valley

So no need to worry about embellishments etc

So here is my DT card. I should have put a picture of me on!!!!Very Simple!!!!!
It is my first ( and probably my last!) attempt at colouring on Kraft. My only excuse(s) is that it was late at night, not good light and I was tired!!!!! I think I need a lot more practice at this.

Can't wait to see what you do

At the garden gate

This is a card made recently. It is shame you can't really see the beautiful backing cardstock I used. It is embossed band glittery, really lovely. I used a Magnolia Banner stamp and stamped "Just Because" on it.

The flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop

I hope you have a great evening. Keep warm

Notebook - custom order on my Etsy shop

I have been busy making a customised notebook that was ordered in my Etsy shop,

This one was a challenge as the customer wanted a particular image ( drawn by her boyfriend ) on the cover and instead of plain sheets inside she wanted another hand drawing on each page but light enough so that she can write on the page.

I hope she will like what I have done.

I have also made another mini book with her initial on

Plenty of bunting

Here are some card samples with a difference. I used the scalloped bunting by Papermania. Each piece of bunting has a different product on it. They are all available at Hotshot Craft.

Have a lovely day

For a change....a boys card

Well I was in card making mode Friday night and made several cards. This is one using an image I had coloured ages ago (I have several coloured images in a box just waiting to be made into cards)

I used one of my Stampin Up punches ( bunting).
Hope you have a good evening
