Whiff of joy - Valentines


I can now entre whiff of joy challenges as I have some stamps Yippee!!!! so here is my first ever entry trying to stay with using up my scraps.... The papers from memory are from funky by hand, artylicious and crafters companion. The stamp obviously is from whiff of joy and she is coloured with pro markers, the peel offs and heart gems are from my stash.

My time to craft - A little bit of sunshine


For this card I have kept it very very simple. The stamp is another one by Anya the peel offs are from my stash and the backing papaer is from my scrap box. I have decided I really need to try and work with what I have rather than being so tempted all th time to just get more, my craft room is over flowing at the moment lol.

Friday sketcher - sketch #36



For this card I have used the great sketch over at Friday sketcher. The image is again an Anya stamp they are just so adorable! I have coloured her with pro markers and sakura pens for her hair to make it sparkle and for added bling I have suck some little gem things in her hair. The paper is from crafters companion oriental cd the flowers are prima, the brads,peel off and ribbon are from my stash.

Cute Card Thursdays challenge - create a scene



Cute card thursdays challenge this time is to create a scene. I have used crafters companion girls cd for the castle,sentiment and the backing paper and then one of the incredibly cute Anya stamps for the litle princess. I have coloured her with you guessed it pro markers but this time I have also added some sakura star dust pens to her a sparkle and a little silver star stuck to her wand.

Paula has given me 2 awards!!




Paula has very kindly given me these 2 awards it has made my day. The rule is that I have to think of 5 things about me.....so here goes

1. I had 2 cats until about 3 months ago when one walked out as normal and has just not come back :(
2. Instead of going to a normal college and doing A levels I went to an agricultural college and studied animal care.
3. I will soon (I hope) have some of my doodles for sale on squigglefly! How great is that!! They have said they want to sell them for me and are working on them at the moment.
4. I used to work in an exotics vets and still have faint scar on my arm where I got whipped by a large iguanas tail.
5. I don't drink as I am allergic to it, a family trait from my Mums side of the family.

As for who to pass them on to well that is just too hard for me to pick just 5 so I want to give it to everyone who reads my blog and is kind enough to leave comments on my cards. Thank you all xx

Cupcake craft challenge #24


Cupcake crafts challenge this week is a 1-2-3 challenge
Which means I had to use the following:
3 different pieces of cardstock
2 embellishments (either the same or different)
And 1 piece of ribbon

Well the papers are all from Crafters companion Love disc, the image is again whiff of joy coloured with pro markers. The ribbon,flowers,peel off and sentiment are from my stash.

I am loving these whiff of joy stamps I have ordered the spring stamp club and can't wait to see what I get!

Sketch Saturday - sketch #35


For this card I have followed Emma's sketch over on Sketch Saturday, another Whiff of Joy stamp I got for Christmas(coloured with my pro markers). The card is one of the patterned ones from a papermania set, I have been trying to work out what to do with these since I got them when on sale at Artymiss lol. The hearts,ribbon and sentiment are from my stash the centre heart is slightly higher than the other 2 though you can't really see it in the picture. I drew around the brown sparkly card with a crayola metallic marker to give it a bit of a boarder.

Paper take weekly Dawny's sketch #7

Ok so today has been my first day to really be able to play with my cards since my Holiday! I wish I didn't have to work sometimes....

Any way this card is based on another one of Dawny's amazing sketches. I have used my new whiff of joy stamp I got for Christmas and my pro markers to colour it (another Christmas pressie I was a very very lucky girl!). The paper is from funky by hand, the flowers and sentiment are from my stash. I think sentiment is papermania but not 100% sure.

I m so happy with my pro markers I think I am getting much better with them now.
