Sew Tuesday

Happy Valentines Day!!!

it's Tuesday again and the second week of our Love is in the Air challenge and as I'm writing my post I realise that I didn't use the heart button that I had sat on my desk - too late now as the card is already in the post lol!

I made my own masking word tape after seeing the idea on Brenda's blog. I should really have taken a pic of it before I added it to the card as you can't really see it too well.

I used masking tape from the £1 shop and stamped "dream", "believe" and "inspire" in both milled lavender and weathered wood distress inks then left it to dry.

Hearts: Sizzix yellow die

More Orange

Those My Mind's Eye papers worked themselves to the top of the pile again and I even used a Promarker colour I don't think I'd used before on this Bugaboo Itchy image - Spice.

Still trying to decide whether to order the limited edition colours or some more flexmarkers instead - the joys of being on a budget LOL!

Pre Order and coming soon at Teddy Bo

Price for the markers includes P&P in the UK!

Winter Birthday

It's amazing how much time I seem to have lost this last week but am approaching normal now even though it's half term here at the moment!

I haven't made a D'Arcy card for a while and found this image lurking on my desk in a pile of a few (cough!) others

Quilted Bea!

It's Friday already - yet again! I have no idea where my life is disappearing to lol!

Our challenge over at Teddy Bo is use a heart and I've used the same layout papers and colours for my card on Tuesday and changed the image - well they were all out over the desk :c)

Peeking Penguin

It wouldn't have been hubby's birthday without a penguin of some sort :c)

I printed this guy out months and months ago and have now forgotten where he came from.

The heart is a Nellie Die

He holds an IOU for a weekend in Amsterdam - hopefully when it's a bit warmer!!!!!

Another D'Arcy!

We have a new release of D'Arcy's today but I've used one from the last lot as I've promised myself that I will wade through the huge pile of printed images I have on my desk before I print any more.

I did find a new black ink cartridge this morning looking for something else so I may have told myself a small fib as technically I need to use the old one up to declutter a tad (well every little helps) lol!

Some random bits I put together to make a card lol!

Heffalump

Yesterday was hubby's birthday and rather than the usual penguin birthday card DD decided that he should have a purple elephant instead - a change is as good as a rest!

The wonderful thing about Tiggers

Is he's the only one I'll be stitching for a while especially with the gingham border!!!

It seemed like a good idea at the time and looks lovely but it was definitely a labour of love.

This definitely qualifies for the Craft Your days Away challenge of stitching as there are just a few on it lol!

Hugs

Have a Heart at Teddy Bo

I think Bo looks like Val Doonican here with his snazzy jumper :c)

Guess I'm really showing my age here but Saturday night tv just isn't the same now lol!

Our new theme over at Teddy Bo this time is use a heart and I went with completely non-traditional colours for my card today

If Pigs Could Fly

 Just a flying visit from me today - no pun intended I'm still having problems with Blogger letting me post piccys. And these ones are quite awful as it never got light here today so I had to use fake light which lit up the foil on the papers like a Christmas tree.

Watch for the Bee!!!

I've had this Sassy Cheryl digi for ages and haven't used it until today - it's called there's a bee on your nose but am not sure if it's still available.

It really reminds me of Christopher Robin and Pooh Bear although I don't think he ever wore denim shorts lol!

The blue paper is Funky Fairy with  plain mocha one from Pink Petticoat under the image and for the paw prints punched border. The shimmery ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons. Sentiment from Imagine That Stamps.

Challenges:

Sassy Cheryls - use a punch and something shimmery
