I'm so in Love....Lol..!

I'm on a roll with my cards just now and have fallen in love with my cricut all over again after thinking about selling it to buy the Big Shot Pro I have used it loads over the Easter weekend..

The 3 cards today are ones that have had paper and some embellishments on and have just been waiting for an image and finishing off.

I love the green one most. The paper is great and think it is basic gray..Lemonade but not sure..Lol.. the leaves have been cut from my cricut and embossed with the spotty folder which I think has had most use out of all the ones I have..

I am in the middle of making my first easel card too.. I will post it when it is finished...

P.s

My craft room is still a mess but I have picked up all that ribbon... ;o)

Get Well...

Hi there,

I hope you are all ok and not too sick with chocolate....!

I have been good and had some strawberries and ice cream instead..

The missing card is the one in blue and green with Tilda skipping. I love this image and nabbed a few from my friend but will buy her at some point..

In my work I always have Get Well cards ready so made a man one and a lady one just to be on the safe side... They are made with a Shy Bear stamp I bought last year...

As I had no greeting big enough out came the Cricut again and cut some swirls whilst it was out for the lady card... I have had a busy day. ;o)

The last card is a colour combo that I love and created the card before Christmas.. it may even have been 12 months ago, I have added Popcorn Bear and a nice big orange flower.

The gold fancy bit in the middle only had a small hole but wanted to use it so out came my

crop o dile... where there is a will there is always a way......!

but the outcome is a very very very messy craft room.. Lol..

My cricut it out on the small fold up table in the middle of the room my crop o dile has fallen over and for the man card I could not find the ribbon I wanted so turned the box upside down to find it.. I think I will have to close the door later as it is time to start tea... It will have to wait to be tidied until after work tomorrow afternoon. Unless I can get the sound back on my tv in there and watch tv whilst I try and find my carpet...

Hope you have had a good crafting day off work too. call again soon....

Why.. Oh.. Why...

How come I made 2 cards and only took a photo of one of them..Lol..

Never mind it will wait for another day. This photo is of a card that had paper only on it a thought that this image was perfect for it, along with the swirls that I cut out on my cricut yesterday to go onto another project but did not look right for it but was right for this card..Why this happens I do not know but we never waste anything do we...!!

My project for now is finished and just waiting for my magnolia 3 magazine to come through the door so that I can send it to them and see if they can use it. It depends on the theme of the next magazine though.. They may still use it just for an inspiration page...Lol.. If they do not use it I as always enjoyed making it..

Just opening a bottle of wine to have a glass and watch a film. Have a great Easter all of you and see you again soon..

More New Rubba...!

I bought my second Lilli of the Valley stamp whilst I was at the NEC and managed to make a car today, in between decorating eggs with my 2 young Nieces ( they give me 24 hours notice and expect me to have everything they need and get upset when I don't).....I'm having no more kids....Lol...!

I also used some stamped images of Popcorn bear that I had stamped a while ago on 2 other cards. I have not added any text on these 2 cards as i'm not sure what they will be used for just yet...

I have used distress inks and inkadinks on the cards. When i get some natural daylight tomorrow I may add a touch of h2os to them too..

I may be back in a day or two with more stuff... So keep taking a peek..

Mini Magic...

I just love the mini magnolias and there was one that i did not buy and wish I had.. It was in my hand several times but it can wait until november. It was Edwin as a cook sat down. I am kicking myself though now...Lol..

I have found my Mojo too and made a few cards since saturday. I was dead chuffed last night when I managed to get the mini tilda to sit on the bed. the first one she was just not right but usable but this was my second attempt and "spot on" i don't think I could get it much better.

The fairy stamp is one I bought from a friend as she had bought 2 by mistake (on the same day too. She is getting on a bit...).

The Tilda I have sat up a tree is made with a stamp that normaly has an Owl sat on the branch...

I think there is so much you can do with the Mini stamps and all the other stamps in your stash..

I'm looking forward to going back to the NEC to buy more.... i best get saving now though..

Covered in ink..

Well I have been to the NEC at Birmingham today with my son, Vicky and baby Emily...

I met a few strange people there I can tell you... You may know one or two of them...Lol..

It was nice to meet up with a couple of friends from Paper Craft Planet Jayne and Wynneth and we met at the best place....on the Magnolia stand of course, although I did not get to have a coffee with them this time I hope to do so in November if I get back again.. It was so busy I did not think it would be that busy so it may be the sunday next time.!

We only spent about 2.5 -3 hours there as I know Vicky is going out tonight and I'm not the best person to travel..

I have already made a card with the mini magnolias that I bought and had not taken a photo of my stash for you so picked up my stash and the card and not realised I had spilt a drop of ink on my desk hence the ink on the magnolia packets.

I bought a House Mouse stamp too and then found a new craft to try with paper glue and few hearts shapes made of wood I will blog them properly another day when I get to play sometime in the week..

There is also a wooden pencil box and a money box for me to work some magic on too.. I need some gesso too but there are road works near the shops that I can buy it from locally so it can wait a while i'm in no rush. I also bought a new 12x12 scrapbook as did Vicky so that we can do some for Emilys pictures as she grows...

Hope you all had a wonderful day too..........
