Good morning everyone, my how the time is flying, I'm almost at the end of my holidays and haven't done half of what I was planning... never mind, there's always another day lol!! Easter is almost upon us and a quarter of the year has gone... whooosh!! just like that lol!! It's time for another challenge over at 'Papertake Weekly' and this week it's..... Take your pick, there are several options which you can see on the main blog here... I've gone with a treat bag and ovals.  Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with, Easter is such a lovely time to show off your lovely makes, and have fun at the same time....

I bought these cellophane bags from a new shop that has just opened in our town, and made lovely individual tags for them, I have a few to finish off yet...  Do you like my little bunnie, this was a free stamp on a magazine, isn't he cute!!  The little egg stamp for the tag I bought years ago, and I'm ashamed to say this is it's first inking lol!! I coloured both the images with my inktense pencils... still love them!!

All Our Dreams

Good morning everyone, hope you are all doing ok?... I somehow twisted my back this week-end and have been wobbling around like an old woman lol!! it's still not right yet but there isn't anything you can do but wait until it decides to ease up by itself..

Well it's Papertake Weekly Challenge today and Dawny would love to see two or four legs on your card or both, so I've gone with two and made this card for my little granddaughter Annelie... I think this is one of the sweetest images at LOTV don't you!...

I coloured the image with my ink tense pencils, they are so vibrant these pencils I love them!!...I've ruffed all the edges of the card and inked around the edges, I love the companion set from LOTV, it's the first time I've used it, there are so many lovely elements with it.. I really enjoyed playing and stamping lol!! I still need to colour the inside image but will do that before I post it..

Bang The Drum

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a great week, hasn't the weather been beautiful... how time flies it's Tuesday already and time for another challenge over at 'Papertake Weekly' and being the last one of the month it's ' A Sketchy Free For All' ... You can use the new one that Dawny has provided or you can choose any of the other sketches  here... I have used the new one it was a lovely sketch to work with and my card came together so easily.. I do love sketches...

I've left the inside blank so the girls can sign it too..

I

I have made this card for my managers little boy who will be one next month.  Isn't this image gorgeous and just right for a one year old lol!  I coloured him with my inktense pencils, I know I keep saying this but these pencils are so lovely to use, when I wet them and they magically turn into these fabulous vibrant colours I feel like a kid again lol!!, do you remember the old painting books where you just had to add water and the colour came through, they remind me of them lol!!  I embossed the no.1 and the sentiment with blue embossing powder, wow this stuff gets every where doesn't it lol!! added ribbon and some stars and that was it.. done! I think I've gone a bit skew with my insert only noticed it when taking photos, how annoying, I hate things that are not straight, but no time to make another now....every time I look at it now I see it more and more, it wont move as it's stuck down pretty good lol!!

Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Simon Says Stamp company so do come along and join us.. you can also see the fabulous cards the rest of the team have made for you this week.

Water Lily

Hi everyone, I have some fabulous news to share with you today... Dawny at Papertake Weekly has asked if I would like to join them as part of the team!! I'm fit to burst at the moment lol!! as I'm so thrilled, I have been walking around with a smile on my face all week lol!! ...  Yayhh!! I'm a papertake girly lol!!!  So on with the show lol!!  being the first Tuesday of the month, It's Anything Goes at 'Papertake Weekly' with an option to make something that reminds you of Summer or has a Summery Theme... and that fits in with this lovely fairy stamp that Debs bought me for my birthday, what could be more Summery than this little fairy lol!!! I think she is waiting for the sun to come out from behind those clouds lol!! After I had stuck them down, I realized I should really have had the sun shining brightly... but she looks like she's having a wonderful time sat there on her little Lily pad lol!! I made three versions of this card and just couldn't seem to get it right, but finally decided on this design, I wanted to make her centre of attraction, and I think she steals the show don't you lol!!! I used my inktense pencils to colour her.
