Christmas Door

This gorgeous Christmas Door from Just Inklined looks sooo much nicer in real life. These awful, miserable, dark days make my photographs look absolutely atrocious!!! lol

It was coloured with Promarkers and the star backing paper is from the Forever Friends "Cosy Christmas" range.

See you soon xx

Robin on Watering Can

This gorgeous robin on a watering can from Just Inklined was so quick and easy to colour in.

The Promarkers I used were:
Watering Can: Ice Grey 1, 3 and 5, Khaki and Pastel Beige
Plant Pots: Burnt Orange, Pumpkin and Gold


The card itself was almost even quicker to make up!! Used my Hougie Board for the embossed background and a nestie for the image. I highlighted the snow with "Snow Writer" and then applied Stickles to the top of that.

Have a nice weekend whatever you're doing xx

Christmas Poinsettia

I absolutely love Poinsettias and as soon as I saw this new image from Just Inklined I couldn't wait to get it coloured in.

I've used Promarkers but forgotten (as usual) what colours I used!! A very simple card to make using cuttlebug and punches, and all finished off with ribbon and pearls.

See you soon.

Forever Friends Tealight Card

A tea-light card using the Forever Friends range. The little bear is a 3D sticker and the flowery backing paper is from the CD.

I really enjoy making them the only problem is they're soooooo time consuming!!! I was asked by someone if I could make them three to give as Christmas presents .. and can you believe I actually said NO!!! (Did you hear that Greta .. I said NO!! lol)

See you soon xx

Swimming for Katie

From October 10th-12th some of the best stampers joined together to support and encourage our friend and fellow stamper, Katie Renz, who is currently battling inoperable gastric cancer. If you're not familiar with her, Katie's cancer story started just before Christmas last year. This young, beautiful, healthy, vibrant mother of 3 with her infectious smile was suddenly diagnosed with an inoperable cancer, virtually overnight. A few tummy aches and then stage 4 gastric cancer. Her first post about it is here. The idea of "Swimming for Katie" came from her recent post here.

This exclusive stamp used in my sample, designed by Becky Oehlers is available as a clear stamp, as well as a digis or a dig and SVG cut file. 100% of the profits go to Katie's fund to help her and her young family. Her husband Kevin and her three young children need our help and support. In addition to the Keep Swimming Octopus, Marianne Walker and True =D Doodle Designs both also donated digis that are for sale. Direct donations are also being accepted. Information central is HERE. This is a permanent page that will stay active at i {heart} papers with current information as well as the donation button.

Here are all the items for sale.

I hope you will join me in supporting Katie through a purchase or donation. Myself and several other stamping friends are holding a mini blog hop to keep the fundraising in the public eye for as long as possible. The following is a list of everyone who has projects posted today. I hope you will be inspired by them and moved to purchase or donate.

This is a blog hop so be sure to follow it in the correct order. You should have arrived here from Julie and from here you need to hop over to Lori. The start of the hop is here with Mina.

Pumpkins

I thought I'd better get my finger out and make a card seeing as I haven't made one in over a week!!! You know when sometimes you just can't be a***d .. well that's what it's been like this past week or so!

I love these pumpkins from Just Inklined and I teamed it up with this gorgeous paper from Bearly Mine Designs. The sentiment is computer generated and the little spider is one of about 1,000 I bought a couple of Halloween's ago.

Coloured with Promarkers and the colours I used are: Burnt Orange, Pumpkin and Amber.

Right I'm off, but hopefully I'll find my mojo and be back again sometime this week .. but don't hold your breath!! lol

Spring is in the air

All this beautiful weather we've been having made me feel quite "springy" so I thought I'd colour up this gorgeous crocus jug from Just Inklined.

It's coloured with Promarkers and the lovely swirly embossed frame is from Craftwork Cards.

If I don't see you before I'll see you back here on Monday for the monthly Just Inklined Blog Hop xx

I found a gorgeous sheet of purple satin mirri board in my stash and coloured this beautiful peony bloom from Just Inklined in the same colour.

Promarkers used:
Aubergine, Plum and Mulberry
Pear Green, Lime Green, Lime Zest and Soft Lime

I'm entering this into the "Less is More" challenge where the theme is Anything Goes and they are having a bit of a challenge themselves as they are trying to get over 1000 entries, so here's my contribution.
