A Card and A Tag

I've been photo tagged by Angeljakki.I haven't done one of these before so here goes.

The rules for this challenge are - Go to where you store your photos on your computer. Go to the SIXTH folder and pick the SIXTH photo. Post that photo on your blog along with a SHORT story about it. Tag SIX people and leave a comment on their blog or email them letting them know you chose them.

Right all that out the window and cheat because I've got a new laptop and have only a few folders on it at the moment. so I picked one of favourite pictures.


This is Phoebe, my youngest at her school Nativity play. She played her part really well but in a little world of her own, gazing out into the audience of Mums and Dads It was at the end and she had been crying because she wanted to be with me. Aaahh this picture melts my heart.

Okay, now to pass this on to:-
Nadia
Shelley
Chloe
Over the Wall
Debbie
Valentines

Hope nobody in the list minds being tagged and I understand if you are too busy crafting to take part.




Made this card in the week with a some stamps I bought a couple of years ago and have never used -tut tut. I stamped and colored with Copics and then layered onto an oval Nestability. Stuck onto a card covered with green backing card. added the strip cut both sides with Fiskars border punch. Added the sentiment which i printed on the computer and a couple of flowers with a brad through. Of course I dabbed some glitter glue around to finish- compulsory isn't it?

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

This is my entry for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge wk 33. The challenge this week was "frame It" The frame is a Penny Black Stamp that I have had for a long time ( haven't used it for ages either) I stamped and coloured it with a mixture of watercolour and copics. I then stamped the girl minus her star into the frame and coloured her with copics, layered her onto pink card and some backing paper out of my stash. Added ribbon, brads,glitter glue, and sentiment.I've also done my entry for Sketch Saturday, but will upload it later as i've got to get ready for work now!! Would rather stay home and stamp!!lol

See you later

Tilda "without" Balloon

I hadn't been able to get in my craft space last week as I'd been busy doing other things like organising my eldest daughter to go on a school trip to Germany - so nothing new to post. But managed to get up there on Sunday and get a card making fix. Phew.

I wanted to do a "Thankyou" card for the leaders at my youngest daughters playgroup as she is leaving in July to go to School in September. I can't take credit for the blackboard idea as I've seen it done on many websites and thought it was cute.

I stamped Tilda with Balloon using versafine smokey grey, but missing out the balloon part and watercoloured her. Cut two squares one black one brown to make chalk board and mounted onto the K and Co backing paper on the front of the card. Wrote on the black card with a white sharpie to look like chalk. Added flowers, rik rak, brads and buttons to finish - oh and of course a bit of glitter to Tilda and a cocktail stick to point.
