True Love

Good morning everyone, time for another Make it Monday linky party, and today we are sponsored by Dr. Digi's house of stamps who has a brand new digital stamping site featuring an amazing range of digi's with a difference, for the crafter with a sense of humour. I have chosen the lovely Derek & Deirdery Dunderton, aren't they wonderful!  There are so many wonderful cards you could make with this lovely image.. my card this week is a love story....  I don't think Dr. Digi had flowers and glitter in mind for this lovely couple, but I couldn't resist lol!  When my Mum saw this fabulous image, she loved it, and said it reminded her of her and my Dad lol!!   My Dad bless him was a little smaller than my Mum, had no hair and always wore a cap, the only thing he didn't have was a moustache... Mum had some glasses like this many moons ago, and always wore a pinny (pinny was short for pinafore ... you would say apron now), but I must say my Mum is much better looking lol!!...

I've added a sentiment in this view

Or you could just have it plain to write your own sentiment

I love how this card turned out... I have been sat with it on my desk for ages and nothing was entering into my brain, then one morning I just did this and that and Voila!!! the card came together lol!!  The lovely papers are from a scrapbook set Nicole sent me from Germany, they are so bright and sparkly.. The lovely flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and I glittered them all up with Stardust Stickles the Sentiments are from Create with TLC.. I love this site and Paulette has so many free sentiments too! I do find it hard to make funny cards, I can never think of the right sentiment, but I always manage to find something on Paulettes blog to help me....  The flower I made myself with a Joy Daisy Die, have been looking for one for ages and finally got one from Ebay...  The image was coloured with my beloved Prisma Pencils.... Oh! and I used glossy accents on their glasses, always scared to use this last, as if it goes wrong....oooh! I shudder to think lol!!!

Car Ride

Good morning everyone, really missed you all last week:(  Sorry I haven't been around all week as I haven't  had time for cards or blogging as my Mum has not been too well again...we had 3 nights at A&E with her having chest pains, she's also had a bit of an allergic reaction to some of the medication.  They are not quiet sure what is wrong so they are going to send her for an angiogram. She is staying with David and I at the moment and has had a couple of good nights so hopefully things are settling down a little.
I didn't manage to make a card for last weeks MIM as things have been a bit hectic....  Fortunately I made today's card a few weeks ago for my buddy at work, who's daughter and son-in-law had bought her a new car when her old one gave up the ghost lol!!  This lovely image called car ride from Bugaboo was ideal.  Her new car is bright red so I had a go with my promarkers for this one, don't think it turned out too bad!
Make it Monday Linky party #115 is now open, and we are sponsored today by the lovely Bugaboo Stamps, you can find this lovely image here.  Looking forward to seeing all your lovely makes this week!!

I made the flower myself with black and white card and used a brad for the centre. I embossed some white card with a bubbles embossing folder, the "thanks" sentiment is a cuttle bug die, I've had for ages.  Tina wanted "You are amazing" on the card somewhere so I used stick on letters from a scrapbook page I had in my stash, it worked out really well, and looked so nice on the card as on the lettering there are little red roses on some of the letters, unfortunately you can't see it on the photos's.  I also added a little star dust stickles around the inside of the card to add a bit of sparkle.  Finished off with a sentiment cut out with a spellbinders die one in black and one in white and some black ribbon and four little red pearls.

Bugaboo are offering a fabulous prize of 7 single digi's to the winning commenter, so all you have to do is comment on another entrants card, so the more times you comment the more chances you have of winning!  Good luck everyone!!
