What a nightmare I am having with Mr Blogger....though at last got round the problem of not been able to upload pictures...slow process - but it works - need to do some fine tuning...this is supposed to be on my DT blog but not figured that one out - will work on that for next time...but at least got a photo on.

At the weekend went to a crafting day over at the Craft Den in Sheffield - long way to go - but so loved it - would have loved to see some people who I blog with there - never mind -maybe next time. So thanks Lynne again for a fantastic day.

Onto today's car....Love this image - little olde Tilda...I know there is no mouth Trace - but I like them.

 

Coloured in with Copics and MS punched a boarder.....

Take care - and HOPEFULLY do another posting tomorrow - touch wood!..

Thursday

Sorry completely forgot to do a posting yesterday...sorry...
Thought today I would show you this tissue box cover I made for my mum for Xmas - she loved it...I do actually - need to make myself one now!.....
Love this shy bear.....

Love this bee...always do glossy accents for his cheeks..best bee image around I think!...

Hard to see, but there is a fab cutlery set hanging from the Love courtesy of my fab blogging buddie Sue...

And lastly Tilda....

Edged the box by punching strips using a MS punch....hey presto...love the finished look, and so did my mum...

Best day of the week tomorrow - Friday....see you then...

Monday - I'm back

Morning folks - sorry not been blogging - went away to the Lake District - for my overseas buddies - a beautiful part of the UK - where the hills/mountains go on forever...great peaceful part of the UK for walking and relaxing - though it does tend to rain most of the time....anyway back...and fitter....and ready for crafting...missed it....
Started at last on my calendar - though only 2 months done -need to crack on with it...so here is January's picci....fab Tilda...
She looks frozen

Love this image - use it loads...Coloured in with copics and used liquid pearls for the snow on the chimney - love the effect....and of course the odd addition of glossy accents and stickles...

Great to be back - now in my lunch time hopefully pop by to see your blogs...thanks for all the nice comments left while I was off

Hugs - Feb's calendar page tomorrow

Tuesday

Morning - hope you survived Monday...
Tuesday - so thought it must be a Tilda day....Cut out the window and crackle glazed it to make it look like wood and stuck a jolly sunshine in the background peeping through.
Back of the card is supposed to be trying to look like wallpaper.
Love this Tilda - but love all Tilda's....
Rightie ho...WOYWW tomorrow....love Wed....half way through the week, and time for a peep at everyone's desks...fab...
Have a good one - see you bright and early tomorrow!

Monday

Morning....even though it is Monday
Before today's card.......
Had a great weekend - though v tied...Emily as you will know if a regular reader of my blog - was competing for North Yorkshire at the weekend...and she did soooo well, she managed to get through the heats of 26 competitors to the semi's to 16 competitors, but sadly never got into the finals..I was so chuffed she got into the semi's as the youngest 200m competitor there at 13...and she loved every minute of it - which is half the battle when you compete, so I sat on a very hard plastic chair for in total 19 hrs - in the heat and jeans as I forgot my shorts....aaaaahhhh...Fab Em.....xx
Sorry - and onto todays card.
This card is a first for me....a standing pop up card
Saw it on the Magnolia site to make one of these, and wow...it turned out - and I love it...what a great type of card...

It stands up on it's own, and if I can do one - I am sure ANYONE can do one. Used my MS punch for the Happy Birthday - though sorry quite hard to see....

Made this for my good friend Maureens birthday this week.

and this is the side view and a view of the base, I did a back view so I can write on the back, and the beauty of this card it also folds flat, though sorry, never took a pic of that.

Have a go - they are easy peasie....and then enter it at Magnolia licious challenge

Catch you tomorrow-and thanks for popping by.

Tuesday

Wow it is going to be another nice day - and hey at work today as always - typical!....and I never won the lottery...
In the process of moving my greenhouse - so not much crafting going on, but put together this little lady.....love her
Love how flower soft slicks well using glossy accents rather than glue, one sneeze and usually it disappears off the card...

Added some glitter here and there and some liquid peals.

Check back tomorrow as it's WOYWW...time for a look around all other crafters desks - love it...

Sarah

Fabby Friday

At last Friday is here

Best day of the week....
Finishing off this week with an Edwin image - minus his wings-sorry cut them off as did not want them on for this card. Cheated AGAIN - sorry with the sewing....thinks this image makes a great Get Well soon sort of card for a boy...
Love his plasters - Glossy Accented them, and did an "Ouch" tag...

Have a relaxing weekend everyone.

Tuesday

Morning - Magnolia day today....
Decided to do a folded card for my sister in laws birthday. Love Photoshop package, trying to get all my images now on my computer, and backed up of course, I don't have the hassle of cleaning stamps, space, and it is soooo easy to make her sit exactly on objects - not every ones cup of tea - but I love it.
Crackled Tilda's fence and coloured her in with copics, inked round the clouds, and of course used stickles and liquid pearls.
Entered this card over at Just Magnolia - Punch it#50
Tried to make her socks look fluffy using stickles, and the two ladybirds on the fence did not look right, so stuck a butterfly over the top of them.

You can see the fold look more on this picci, went round the top and the bottom with an MS punch.

And popped another Magnolia inside for luck. Also cut out a nestie circle for me to write a message on.

Hope you like it.

Middle of the week tomorrow!

Sarah

Wednesday

Magnolia today.....little girl card today - she is fab, like last week, sat her on ribbon with footprints on, though this is pink.
Used my MS punch in the corners - check out the Craft Den - link on my side bar - they have lots of goodies - if you don't see what you want Lynne will order it if she can...service or what!

Coloured her in with Copics, add tiny bit of stickles and Glossy Accent.

Entered this card for the challenge over at Crafty Creations - Babies

and also Papertake Weekly Challenge - Open theme

Last day of the working week tomorrow!

See you then!

Sarah

Monday

Morning
Hope you all had a great weekend - Em got a gold for her 80m and silver for her 150m running on Sunday -way to go Em....Wakefield this weekend.
Toady's card is for the challenge over at Just Magnolia #48 - following a sketch - this is my card.
Crackle glazed the leaf - love crackle on leaves - makes them look more "leaf" like. Also stickled her jumper to try and make it look like mohair wool.

The flowers and leaves I made from a punch attaching a brad and of course - crackled the leaves.

I have also entered this card for

the Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge #76- pink green and flowers

and for Quirky Crafts Challenge - theme flowers.

and for SophistiCat Challenge - raining cats and dogs

Had my Sunday joint yesterday - and my crackle on the pork was fantastic - too fantastic - cracked a tooth in half and managed to swallow the half - so hopefully can get to the dentist today - though I dread to think how much it will cost- need it done as it is really hurting - great end to the weekend!

Catch you tomorrow

Sarah

Monday

Today decided to go Magnolia, hope that is ok with you all...
Looked on Penni's blog and got this fantastic template to make these really nice little boxes to make that special gift that little bit more special.

Magnolias just soooo suited them....and they were so easy to do - If I can do it I am sure you can - so pop over to Penni's blog and borrow the template - though if you do, make sure you give Penni credit on your posting...This is a view of the back of the boxes....will do these again as used both already and the glue is not dry!
Thanks for popping by.

Friday

Could not sleep, so doing my post early, will regret it later I am sure.
Fabby Friday is here, no work today.....Made this fantastic Magnolia image for my friend..love how the crackle glaze has worked on her wooden spoon.
And used my MS punch for the corners.

Think she makes a great card.Love the dots I have put on using liquid pearls..seem to use these nearly as much as stickles.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone.
Catch you next week.
Sarah

Thursday
