SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Flippin Heck!! Record temperatures last week and then this morning I opened my door to this!

It is still snowing on and off, hoping it magically disappears overnight. Perfect weather to stay in and craft though.
Here is my latest colouring attempt. I spent ages on her hair but am pleased with how it turned out.

Yep another card comes crawling along!!

I feel like I hardly ever have time to craft these days - perhaps less time in blogland and on Facebook might afford me a few more hours lol! I might have a wee break so if you don't see me commenting on your blogs for a week or so you will know that's what I am doing. Anyway, I coloured this beauty up over a week ago. She is from Saturated Canary, I am totally in awe of Krista's talent.

Sugar Bowl Time!!

It seems like ages since I had time to play in the Sugar Bowl so I thought I'd ink up one of my new purchases over the weekend. I also tried black hair using the "black" Promarker rather than using the Warm Greys. Can't say I'm overly pleased with the result but there you go!

The gorgeous papers are Basic Grey Origins and the sentiment is Stampin up which you will see on the tag in the picture below

My First Faux Book

I decided to make a wedding card for someone I know who gets married in a few weeks. I have seen faux books on blogs before and in Craft Stamper but never tried making one. Here is my first attempt.

The image is LOTV and the beautiful papers are Basic Grey Capella. The lighting wasn't very great, I'm afraid the pics could be better. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and added some Stickles to the edges of her dress. The heart stamp is from February Craft Stamper. Here's a look inside

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! We had a great day, lovely dinner with family and the boys were delighted with their gifts. Then since boxing Day I've had a rotten cold - at least I didn't have to worry about going to work. bit better today so hope that I can see the New Year in sniffle free.  Thought I would share with you the last Christmas card I made. I had planned to make lots using this set but due to a wee mix up with Create and Craft they arrived far too late. Maybe next year! Anyway these are from Clarity Stamps and I was really pleased with the end result

Today I managed to make my last journal page for the He-art Journalling project with the Greeting Farm. Now I need to bind all the pages together. This week had to be a page about yourself.  I used one of my favourite Simply Sassy stamps and lots of shades of greens (my favourite colour).  Had to add a wee bit of sparkle too of course.

The background was made using Distress Inks and the image is coloured with Flexmarkers and Promarkers. Even the journalling is Emerald Promarker using a fine nib.

Here's a closer look at the image

My hubby bought me the whole range of Flexmarkers for Christmas and even built me a box to store them. It is the smaller of the two boxes, the other houses my Promarkers and yes, he made that too!

I would like to enter my journal page into the following challenges

Charisma Cardz - anything goes

In case I don't manage to blog again until January may I wish you all a Happy New Year.
