Fave Lili of the Valley

Just a quick post now, I spent nearly the whole afternoon sorting out my scrapbooking papers - as best as I can cos I've ran out of storage and can't find more of the ones that I have doh. Anyways here is quick card, I can't remember who the papers are by they were just lose in my stash but the stamp is one of my favourite Lili of the Valley Stamps and think it's definitely my most used - perfect for birthdays and retirements for those awkward men lol.

Happy Liverpool Christmas

Time still seems to be running away and I've still got a list a mile long of things to be done lol. But I managed to get a few of them crossed off today.

I should probably also explain the post title - some of my family used to come up to Liverpool for Christmas and now cos of work and little kids they come up a bit later and the night is now known as Liverpool Christmas lol. So last night was 'Liverpool Christmas'. Was really good, and good to catch up with them all.

Anyways onto the card, I wanted to make sure I entered the Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenge cos I'd missed a few cos of running out of time. Anyways this weeks challenge was stitching and straightaway I had the idea of stitching a flower stem and using a chipboard flower. I've used some of my new papers - I love them the colours and nice and bright and spring like.


Supplies: 'Coffee Nikki' and Sentiment Stamp by Ladybug Crafts Ink, 'Fine and Dandy' Papers by My Mind's Eye, Card by DCWV, Sugar-Coating by Doodlebug
Extras: White Card, Chipboard Flower, Green Thread, Yellow & Green Ink Pad, Copics, Promarkers, Glossy Accents

Oh Dear..

Just a quick post today cos I'm feeling really rubbish, woke up with the start of a cold and ear ache so am still in bed feeling sorry for myself anyways got to get on cos stuff to get done later, so thought a quick post while still here cos not sure when will have chance to post again.

Anyways this is a Retirement card that my mum wanted for one of the girls in work, very pink - was having withdrawal symptoms cos the last few have been so un-pink lol, in fact don't think there's been a pink one for weeks - I must be ill lol. 


I love these papers they're some of my favourites, I've lost count of the number of scrapbook pages I've used them on so thought I'd use them on some cards quick before they're all gone and my album looks all the same lol


As usual had problems takening pictures of the glitter and sparkle, there's a row of gems down the left side of the front of the card (on the dots of the paper), glitter on the book and cup, and then all over the red flower, and then there's the epoxy dot for a bit of extra sparkle

Yep the Footy is on...

Back on again for my second post of the day (thought it made sense as won't be on here at the weekend and the footy is on the telly so got a bit of spare time).

Anyways I've finally got my pictures off my camera so as promised here is the result of my Pro-Marker colouring - sorry I forgot to take a close up but they seem to be bit better at block colour - the lines from the pen seem to show up less. Shame that forgot to get a close up as that might have shown the glitter in the papers, really pretty.

Supplies: 'Slobbing Nikki' and Sentiment Stamps and Epoxy Dot by Ladybug Crafts Ink, 'Jazmyne' Paper by Bo Bunny, Clover Double Dot Card and Ribbon by Bo Bunny, Flowers by Petaloo.

Right I think I've bored you enough for today, have a good weekend XOX
