Here is my first card of 2010. I do love this little dog stamp and used Whispers Pens to colour him in,

Yes I am still alive

Hi Everyone

I know I haven't been around for agessssssssssssssssssssssssssss so my New Year Resolution is that I will blog at least once a month now I have a camera that works :)

Take care everyone and see you soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Stampotique Card

I have been very naughty and not kept up with my blogging so I thought I better get my butt in gear with a card I took ages to make, Sorry Kirsty.

I love tag cards but when I try to cover them they never sit right so for this one I used Jump Rings to hold it together. It fits in with the Stampotique stamps perfectly and I really like the effect i got on the foil card by scratching it with sandpaper :)

Light Box

Ok I've been working on this for a little while now and finally here it is.

This started out life as a mini shape sorter from Poundland and I thought it would look good as a tea light holder. The only problem was I wasn't happy using a normal tea light because of it being made of wood. So enter and electric tea light candle :)

Sarah Kay Card

I bought this cute Sarah Kay stamp at Newbury at the weekend so here is my first card using it :)

Aztec Orange

OK so I know I did something with orange again! Well it was actually a redbrick distress pas with a yellow Nick Bantock pad but it turned out really nice didn't it :) Stamps from SSPG.

Another New Tag

OK Did I happen to mention I like dragonflys and butterflys? Well this is another stag using the SSPGs free joing gift. I love the dragonfly stamp for the background and I used it as a base for my main dragonfly.

Everything bar the little nets it stamped in black Stayzon including the wings/petals on to fantasy film. The purple background was made using a baby wipe and a Nick Bantock Ink Pad then I stamped the little net in purple then the dragonfly in black.

New Tag

Ok this is my first project using some of my new stamps from "The Stamping, Scrapbooking and Papercraft Guild". The petals of the flowers are actually dragon fly wings but they make a fab flower. I used mica powders from The Artisitc Stamper and they show up great on Black Card and a better price than cosmic shimmer too.

Spiderman Card

I love this card cause Spiderman is my favorite superhero. I stamped the image twice in Stazon and he is coloured with Marveys. The image is decoupaged just a little from his waist to bring him out a little :) The background was made using the same stamp with versamark then chalked in silver.

Robot Card

I love this card mostly because of the stamp but the paper goes so well with the colours too.
The Image of the robot is a stamp from do crafts ans is stamped with black stazon and then coloured with shimmer paints. The backing paper is from a Basic Grey 6 by 6 pas.

Sunday Stampers Week 24 - For Your Eyes only

I had to think about this challenge but I got there and tried a pocket thingy :)

Dream Stamp is by CLevercut, I shut my eyes... is by stamp attack and the butterfly is by Creative Expressions.

Sunday Stampers Week 22 - With a little help from my friends

I wanted to do something fun so I had a play around :) The friends stamp is from Autumn Leaves and the others I don't know because I borrowed them. The paper is something I made while playing with some drawing inks and acetate :)

Christmas Cards

Yes I know it's early but I have to start sometime :) so here is the first using some bow bunny papers.

Sunday Stampers - Week 21 - Ebony and Ivory

Here is my Sunday Stampers effort for this week. Yes I know I even got it in before the next challenge has been set. I used one of the large chipboard tags from The Artistic Stamper along and stamped the autumn leaves flurishes with black stazon. The butterfly is a Linda Luckin design from The Artistic Stamper and I used black glitter on the outline to give it a velvety look.

Yeah my ickle good bag arrived :)

I won some blog candy woohoo from the lovely Roni who recently celebrated 6 months of blogging. Please stop by as Roni has some fabby techniques to share and her work is stunning, love the posh sandpaper :)

Here is the pic of my lovely goody bag. I am so chuffed I got a queens dresser drawer stamp and the ickle square stamps are really cool and the papers are fab. Am going to have a play tomorrow and then I'll pop the results of my efforts on here :)

Sunday Stampers - Week 18 - Dogs

Now this one I was on my way to doing as I had to make a card for a friend :)

Very Simple but very cute and everyone loves Snoopy :)

Butterfly Card

This is a stamp I got last week and its a fab stamp by Linda Luckin as is the peacock feather I used for the background. The stamps are available from the Artistic Stamper in 2 diffrent sizes and they are fab so everyone should buy these stamps :)

The peacock feather is stamped in versamark and then I brushed some mica powders over the top in gold. The Butterfly was embossed in gold then I've used Irridescent H2Os in Gold and red to colour the butterfly in. I have added a little old gold glitter and a peel off best wishes to finish it off.

Encaustic Playing

Ok here we go with a couple of Encaustic painting I've done this evening. I was determinefd to get some good flowers done so here are the results :) Sorry the pics arn't excellent and they arn't mounted as yet but they will be :) one day :)

Orange Fat Book Page

Ok I have made this hoping that Hels cheeky monkey that she is will NOT at some point make the theme for Sunday Stampers orange.

Hopefully this will demonstrate I can use the colour orange(yuck) successfully and she won't beat me round the head and put it as a challenge one week, pretty please Hels :)
