You Are In My Thoughts

Good Morning everyone, hope you all had a fab week:)...I went to Harrogate show on Saturday with Debs, nearly missed it as I thought it was later in the month!! A lovely friend sent me a message and said will probably see you on Saturday at Harrogate!!  Panic stations.... woke Debs up early Saturday morning and we were on our way for 10 o'clock lol!!!  Spent up as usual...didn't think I needed much lol!! bought some lovely dies though for making flowers, hope to have a play with them soon!!
It's time for another linky party over at Make it Monday #110..Today we  are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and I have used Beautiful Blocks - Thoughts and Prayers.  My card is very simple this week...found it hard not to put flowers on  it though lol!! My daughter wouldn't let me, she said Mum it's great as it is lol!! I love my daughter lol!!!!  I printed the image on to a spellbinders die called Fleur De Lis,  I have used this several times, as it really is gorgeous... It was such an easy image to colour too, I used my  Prisma Pencils, and the lovely papers are called Daydream by First Edition....Ribbon and pearls from my stash..and that was it job done!!.....

Anyway here it is ....I have used Kraft Card and the gorgeous papers are a pad I got from a craft show for only £1, I think it was a Papermania pack, cannot find the name of it at the moment..it's here somewhere lol!  The image and the sentiment are both from Digi my world.  I have coloured with my Prisma Pencils, and stickled all the flowers and the balloons being careful not to touch the outlines as the two don't mix, and the beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The corner is a Memory Box die and the frame is Spellbinders Lacey Ovals.  I have put a blue gem on top of that lovely pink button...I bought a bag of really cute buttons from the last show I went too..have been dieing to use them lol!!

Halloween JJ October

Good morning everyone ....Mondays do come round so fast, I have been back at work a week already!!  As it's Monday it's time for our Make it Monday #l06 Linky party whooo!! Fabulous entries again last week over 300...you all have so much talent, I'm having a job keeping up!!    Not a happy chappy this week with my card, I think it's because I had to rush everything, didn't have much time for crafting....but check out my teamies this week as there cards are just fantastic!!
I have used JJ October  Isn't she fabulous, wish I could have done more with her, but haven't had a lot of time.... The photo's are also a bit pants this week.  The lovely lace looks a bit like a spiders web, it's two pieces joined together one the right side up and the other on top of it, it looks really good on the card, but doesn't show up too well on the photo. The gorgeous papers are from Donna at Bearly Mine Designs, it is a freebie that I got last year, isn't it lovely! The flower I made with a Magnolia Doohickey Die called Vintage Daises, from Dies to die for.  I used Black and red card and attached a black pearl brad to the centre. The dew drops look good too, I thought they could represent drops of blood....is that a bit goulish!!!
