Hugs and Kisses

Happy Saturday,

Well, I can't believe that my half term week is gone already - where did it go? I love being at home so that I can craft, but alas will have to return to work next week to fund my obsession! Lol.

I had time to play with one of my new Saturated Canary images yesterday, and decided to do something a little different.  I'm really pleased with the outcome - see what you think ...

The image is 'Hugs and Kisses' by the very talented Krista Smith 

and is printed A5 size onto a border of pink paper.  

She is coloured with my Promarkers: 

Hair - satin, sandstone, caramel and burnt sienna

Skirt/boots - pale pink and dusky rose  

Hearts/tights - blossom and budding rose 

Box - satin, sandstone and caramel

I popped her into a plain black photo frame and decorated the corners 

with embellishments from my stash, 

including flowers, hearts, 

a Doohickey die-cut swirl and  small butterfly.

I think this will make a great gift for someone, 

but not sure who just yet.

I would like to enter it into the challenge over at 'Fussy and Fancy' 

which is Black and Pink.

Enjoy your weekend,

Hugz, Jan xx

Halloween

Happy Monday morning to you,

I hope everyone had a great weekend, despite the snow in some places.  We had a little flurry on Friday evening, but not much more over the weekend, thank goodness.  It's half term break here this week, so I have more time to craft and visit blogland :)

I have been busy over the weekend with some design team work, but also made a little creation for Halloween too.  Here's what I came up with ...

This is the front of my little Accordion tag book, which is covered with some spooky black paper.  The image is LOTV - Abracadabra and is coloured with my Promarkers.  And now for the inside ...

The inside is covered with some more stashbox papers and a selection of die-cut and digital images, together with some super black ribbon which has purple witchy hats on, a little metal pumpkin charm and some Halloween wording.

I would like to enter this project into the following challenges:

Craft Punked - Halloween

Creative Inspirations - Happy Halloween

Fashionable Stamping - Halloween or Halloween colours

Stamping for the Weekend - Anything Goes

Try it on Tuesday - Halloween

See you soon,
Hugz, Jan xx

Birthday Time Again ...

Morning everyone,

We have another family birthday today - this time it's my eldest daughter's turn, so I thought I would show you her card.  She loves anything with a 'gothicky' look, but thankfully never went through the gothic appearance phase! Lol - so her card has a bit of a gothic feel to it.  Here's what I made ...

I love these digital images from Kenny K - this one is called 'Devilish Donna' and she fits the bill perfectly.  I picked the black and purple colour scheme as it is one of Vanessa's favourites.  I seem to have a bit of a thing for feathers at the moment too, but love how they look on the card.  Papers are from my stash and the sentiment is 'Little Claire's Designs'.  If you would like any more details, you know where to find me.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Hugz, Jan xx
