Of coarse you all know house mouse, I love these little critters, sorry don't know where the other mouse is from, I bought that not long after I started stamping

More deco pages


These are my last ones in this round, my friends theme is me and my imaginary friend. Well you can see me ( I wish ) and my little friend is the dragon. I just love fantasy, the stamps are from Sweet Pea stamps and the Queen Ann's lace is simple expressions. Hope she likes them

Little girl


My friend Mary kindly sent me some of these images as have not got this stamp. I keep thinking there possibly could not be anymore stamps I need then I see another, no wonder I have no money.
Anyhow I made this card for her and I am pleased to say she likes it

Movie stars


Have just treat myself to this stamp, have always liked it but one of those thing's you put off buying but saw it in a sale so could not resist getting it.
The card with the film strip is from the new Tim Holtz die and it has worked really well with the small images that a friend stamped me, sorry don't know whose stamp it is. Anyhow hope you like them

Cowboy


Have stamped this on a shimmery background done with glimmer mists. Does not show up as well with being scanned but the colours are lovely in real life. The stamp is from I Brake for stamps, have been longing to use this stamp and finally got the chance. You know I love my South Western images

Deco pages


These are the 2 deco pages I made for Vix, I know she has them so I can post them now. Wish I could use my pro markers as well as Vix, I am getting there I think, she said she liked them, so hope she did.
Have felt a bit better today and got some crafting done so am happy about that, hopefully this bug or what ever is going now

Blue Eyes


Have had some images coloured for ages and not had the umph to do anything with them, think I have had some sort of bug as all I want to do is sleep. Anyhow feeling a better so have been trying to get some cards made as like some in hand for birthdays etc.
This is a sweat pea image, she has lovely eyes and they call her blue eyes, so here is my version of her. Love using flowers but am still learning on this score, hoping to improve on practice. Any how hope you like it.

Backgrounds


The background on this card I made about 4 yr ago, I liked it so I did not use it. You girls know what I mean. Anyhow came across it a while back and decided to scan it and print it off, so I could have it on tap so to speak. Made this card and will be able to do as many as I like now, sort of cheating but was worried I could not make another one the same as I can't remember now what I used to do it

Well I have finallyhad a play











On one of the groups I am on once a month they do a one to one swap and it has to be black and one colour, so Here are my efforts. I enjoyed doing these. The Black and white one is a About Art Assett image formally from Dana's, It is still one of my most favourite images but must admit I like it coloured better than B/W.
Don't know where the chap and the horse are from as it was a gift, the lady with the parasol is from Stone house stamps, might not of spelt the company's names right as I am a lousy speller

A bit of fun


Backgrounds are stamped girls but the images are printed, could not resist this CD as Grand kids are getting older and there are some brill images on for them.
The one with the top hat reminds me of Oliver Twist, the Indian, well all I can say is wouldn't you like him in your stocking at Christmas ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

challenge


On KC this months challenge is to include some vellum, so the leaves are punched out of vellum and the greeting is vellum. I love this stamp. Vix made me buy it when I saw it on her blog, could not resist. It is from the Stamp man. The other one is stamped on holographic card looks better in real life than on the scan, another one of Vix's ideas, she does some amazing work

Brown and cream



Just love this combination, finally got a bit of stamping done without feeling it was an effort, maybe my mojo is coming back. I bought these 2 stamps last October at Port Sunny off stamp camp and have just used them for the first time.Should of got them out earlier as they stamp gorgeous with no effort and don't need anything adding to them as I think they look good just the way they are. Anyhow hope you agree.
How could you not love that face on the cat, it looks so sorry for it's self

Poppies


Love this stamp and took me ages to find it as it was discontinued, when I finally got it was mounted upside down,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Anyhow the oval in the middle was some scratch card as Cath calls it, I had tried colouring with those pens where you colour the stamp to see how it would look. Then of coarse had used it as scrap anyhow managed to salvage it and make a card out of it. Don't think it turned out too bad

Shaving foam backgrounds


Well feel a bit better today, managed to make a few cards with some shaving foam backgrounds I had. This is a few of them. Really needed a few in hand for when you want a card in a hurry. You never know when something is going to come up. I have decide it is time I started using my stash in stead of just looking at it, no one else will love it like me.
My Auntie bless her was over the moon as her Grandson brought her a stash of card making stuff that he was told to skip when clearing a house, she is 82 and loves making cards, she reckons there was 4 to 5 hundred pounds worth there. How could anyone put that in a skip. Dread to think what would happen to my stuff if I went. Anyhow that is enough of that as it did find a good home no one deserves it better than my Auntie she is lovely

Mojos gone on holiday

Well sorry I have not posted for a few days, I think my mojo has gone back to Liverpool. I am forcing myself here as need some birthday cards made also have not sent a couple of cards out I meant too so must get cracking. I managed this one yesterday and have made a couple today just need finishing touches. So am hoping I am getting back to normal. Have new stamps to play with and not even had the energy for that.
It is red hot here I am amazed as we normally don't get it as hot as we are right near the sea, can't remember the last time it was this hot in May

Time flys







I don't know where the last couple of months has gone, I have forgot birthdays and am way behind with cards, will have to shape up. Have had too make some cards post haste as must make a great Nieces card tomorrow for Tuesday, another one I forgot. Shame on me.



I think my brain is still on holiday, only my body came back. Hopeless no other word for me. Any how here is what I have come up with yesterday and today

Latest purchase swap

Can upload this now as Ann has got it. We had to make something with something we had just bought, or something we had not played with for ages. Well I chose to make this wall hanging with a new Tim Holtz die I had just bought. The bottom has a little pouch in so you can put odds and ends in. I am pleased to say Ann liked it
