Afternoon All!!

**NEWSFLASH**
Can't believe I passed my first year of my Mechancial Engineering Batchelors!! Sooooo happy!!

Well its birthday time around here again and I started making a manly card with some meaning, we have both recently taken up cycling (except im on rest with my broken ankle!!) anyway it turned out a bit igrly for my liking so I have started another....however, he loved it and wished I'd kept it!

Anyway....I though I would share and enter ti for some challenges. I have been practicing with the familys digital SLR and my trial of photoship, think it makes a difference :-)

Here is the outside:

Paper: Stampin Up Mini Catalog
Stamps: Alota Well and Tilda from Magnolia
Die: Stampin Up Framelets
Colouring:Copics
Ribbon: Stampin Up
Flowers: Made from SU Paper

Here is a close up of Tilda:

And inside all SU Paper:

I had an order fromSU come in this week in case you hadn't guessed - I also used spellbinders for the black and white scalloped circles and the flower is a new SU punch.

Sorry April.....Got sidetracked!!

Hi Everyone,

I saw this frame on my shelf that I bought from IKEA ages ago with very good intentions of making something for Maddi's bedroom; well now I have.......

It is to go in Maddi's bedroom which is due to be decorated soon, here are some close ups:
I used the Tim Holtz Alterations for the concertina flowers and the other hand made flower is using the Paper Artsy Dies; all other are flowers from my stash:

 

I coloured Tilda with Copics, but th sky and grass I used distress inks.....the sky went very wrong and the more I coloured the worse it got :-)

The frame is blended with distress inks and I used masks to layer up swirls, butterflies, dragonflies and clouds.

I have to say overall im quite pleased with it, I dont think the pictures show it the way I see it but some of that might be rose tinted glases ;-)

Thanks for stopping by,

Long Time.....No Post!

Afternoon All!!
A sneak peak of Baby Evie's Album:

I have been terrible recently, I started a new job at Jaguar Land Rover, absolutely fantastic - I get to drive all the very fast cars :-)

Anyway.....I have been working on a porject which I will share soon but it needs some finishing touches and I think the recipient should she it first-she has waited quite a while for it, I think Evie is at least two months old now (Sorry April!!).

However, I had some duplicate maggies that I sent to a very good friend to boost her maggie collection.....I made her this card to go with it- hope you enjoy the stamps and card Denise!

The stamp is an inkadinkadoo, with some papers I found at Sir Stampalot, and the bottom right is the flipped side just to be different :-)

It is coloured with copics and topped with stickles.

Here is the inside:

I used the new Tim Holtz inspirations die to make the paper rosette........

Finally I used the new maggie stamp on the back:

Also, Maddi had her birthday party last weeekend, she is now a big 5 year old...who doesnt cry!! I have put a pic below, we had Princess Lucy come and paint their faces and do party games, my little Princess had sooooo much fun:
