Water

 With all the rain we had in England how appropriate that the challenge at Totally Gorjuss this week is

WATER

Our sponsor is Heathers Hobbie Haven

Here is my card. I have used one of the gorgeous LOTV stamps.

 I coloured the metallic corner with a dark Promarker. It was silver to begin with.

I kept the card fairly simple. I would love to add flowers ,but i am not sure how much a boy would like that !

Have a good weekend . I hope it is not too wet!

Not Square

Happy Saturday everyone,

 

Today sees a new challenge at Totally Gorjuss.  Our theme is

Not Square.

So for this week only put away your square cards. I have used one of my Go Kreate dies to create my DT card for this week.

I have also used another die to cut out the plate stand to stand the card on.

I have used one of the gorgeous Saturated Canary images. I don't usually use light greens in my card but i loved the papers in this stack  ( First Edition by Trimcraft) 

I added flowers and die cuts to finish my card and i coloured the image with Promarkers.

Our sponsor this week is The Hobby House

items used

• Dies - various makes
• Flowers -  Craft All Day
• Image - Saturated Canary
• Colouring - Promarkers

Thank you for your visit.

Saturated Canary and some candy

 

I just love the images created by Krista Smith so just had to use this one on my DT card for Totally Gorjuss this week. We are sponsored by the lovely Joanna Sheen

We have a sketch for you and this is my interpretation. I have coloured her with Promarkers and added some Stickles in her hair.

 

I also have a bit of candy to give away. I will pick someone who has commented on my blog between now and Wednesday.

Thank you for looking and enjoy thesun.

Mabel Lucie Atwell

 Here is a card using one of the Mabel Lucie Atwell images.

I have tried to keep this looking old fashioned in line with the stamps themselves.

Just a very basic card

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

I have chosen the line

Nearly didn't manage this card as I am feeling rough. Full of a cold, coughing and it hurts to swallow. Just want to curl up in bed!
I was asked to make a Get Well card for someone who's line dancing teacher is ill. I have spent hours scouring the internet to find a suitable image. After nearly giving up I found this one.

A little Mo Manning for you

Good evening everyone
I hope you are all well. It has been a lovely day here in Wolverhampton.

Tonight I am showing you this card I made using a Mo Manning stamp I recently bought. I used a couple of Nestie dies, some flowers from Wild Orchid and a seam binding bow and Voila! ( didn't realise I speak French did you?!!!!!)

I have some card to show later in the week. I'm off to watch X Factor. I taped it earlier

Just for you - Gorjuss Girl Easel card

 

 

 

Good evening
Hope you have all had a good day.
Today I have another Gorjuss Girl card to show you. Another Easel card I am afraid but I do love them. All the papers and letters are from my stash. The big flower was from a bag of flowers I had from Hobbycraft
I have recently set up an Etsy shop but I'm not really sure how to advertise it. It refers to "circles" ( I thought that's what I teach the children in Numeracy!) and Treasuries ( not sure what this is either). Can anyone enlighten me and offer any advice on getting my stuff noticed. I hope some one out there will like them!
Anyway I am putting this card in my Etsy shop if you are interested.
Hugs sarah
