A Card for the Sugar Bowl and Sundays with Santa

Good Morning Everyone, yes I know its a bit early for a Christmas Card, but over on Facebook weve been making a Card every week since the beginning of the year to try and get a good supply ready for the season, anyway I thought I would post this card a little earlier as Im rather proud of how it turned out. The image is one of the new images from Funky Kits and Ive coloured her with my copic pens then used a circle Nestabilitie to cut her out, then used the brand new Resplendant Circle with a piece of red card for the mount, the sentiment is one from again Funky Kits and I have used one of the new tag dies for it. I should have said that this weeks Sundays with Santa Challenge is "Tag It" and the Sugar Bowl is a "Sketch", I will also pop it on their Sugary Sunday "Glitter" Challenge page on Facebook to.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, the papers I have used Kaisercrafts "Twigs and Berries" paper pad, and the first paper is a cream background with twigs and berries on, the second and third mount are a stripped one and a spot one, both have gold embossing on, Ive also put some glitter on the image to.

The card was created using the sketch and the tag was popped in the bottom on the edge.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge

Good Afternoon Everyone, again I have been very slow posting a card, Ive sort of lost my mojo I find I really not in the mood for card making, last week I was asked to make samples and that motivated me to work but this week I really not in the least finding the urge to get myself into gear. Maybe it was because so much went wrong last week that I was so wrapped up with the stress of that, that my mojo went of for a holiday. Anyway I did get around to creating this card today its for the Sugar Bowl Sketch Challenge and for the Sugary Sunday one on Facebook. Its one of Funky Kits gorgeous mermaids and I stamped her onto white card before using my copic pens to colour her. I also put some glitter on the tails of both the mermaid and the seahorse.
I then cut her out with a large rectangle die from Spellbinders and the two papers are from one of the Maya paper packs, I used the darker blue paper for my first mount and distressed the edge of it, I then used a lighter on on the other mount and distressed the edge for that one to.
Ive created the card as the sketch required and then used three buttons with bakers twine tied in knots in the holes and a seahorse charm on the side.

My 5th Sample for Sarah

 

Good Morning Everyone, well I dont know about you but its been raining here again this morning, though at the moment its stopped and the sun is trying to come out. This is the last sample for this blog I will also put Sample No.6 on my No.2 blog in a moment so if you would like to see it you will find it here I do hope that you will, its something different. 

This CD has been great fun to play with, its all about a hedgehogs Garden Adventure and the papers, images and design sets are just gorgeous. Sarah has  preview programs on Create and Craft next Tuesday so I do hope you will keep an eye out for them, as Ive been away from my computer for a week Im missed out on letting you know the times so I do hope you will browse and see when they are likely to be aired as the CDs are certainly gorgeous.

Heres my sample No.3

I promised you a copy of the label for this CD, here is is at the bottom and also my third sample for Sarah, you will find another on my No.2 blog which is  www.nannieflash2.blogspot.comif you would like to see it. I will now go and put No.4 sample on theres.
I have enjoyed making these samples as the papers are so brightly coloured and the images are just gorgeous I hope you think so to. Sarah has a program on Create and Craft on Tuesday 28th but Im not sure if she will be promoting this cd, you will have to look to find out.

First Sample for Sarah Hallam's New CD

Good Morning Everyone, it seems ages since I wrote up a post, but as you can see its been a busy couple of weeks and the worst of it is, it isnt likely to finish anytime soon. Firstly the wedding was fabulous and no doubt youve seen the photos further down my blog, and the grandsons enjoyed their week to though the weather wasnt at all kind to them and they got soaked on more than one occassion.
But the worst of it is my brand new desk top computer has decided to play up and hubby is having one hell of a time to try and sort it out, it just keeps falling over, and as I use it all the time its a real pain, and trying to set up a back up one is causing me no end of problems. You know what its like when you get used to your programes trying to use others is not easy. And the final thing is my poor dog is not at all well, we picked her up on Monday to discover that she had been sick the day before, but she seemed ok and pleased to see us although extremely tired. Anyway Tuesday she starting having problems the other end, and then yesterday morning I made a appointment with the vets but couldnt get her down there till the afternoon and by then she was passing blood, so you can image what was going through my mind. It seems she has a bile infection (liver) and is passing toxins through her, shes still rather poorly this morning but we at least had a full nights sleep though her motions are still rather loose this morning, all we can do is hope that the infection clears quickly through her.
Anyway now that youve heard why Ive not been around for nearly 2 weeks I hope you will forgive me, and now todays card has been created for my dear friend Sarah Hallam of Peerless Designs, she has a brand new CD due out very shortly, its called "Hedgehogs Garden Adventure" I will scan the label in later so that I can show you the CD cover at the moment Ive not got it to hand because of the problems with my computer (luckily I had uploaded my photos to facebook so was able to retrieve them from there) and as you can see from the photo above how gorgeous this little character is.
The CD has lots of similar designs on it, with complimentary papers, Digi Stamps, Note Papers, Tags and Bookmarks, Innie and Outie Stacking Decoupage sheets and Inserts and Envelopes plus a bonus cutting SVG and DXF files to.
I do hope you will keep an eye open for this new CD and when I know its release date I will inform you.

The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of lilac card, and on this I have used a lilac background paper with a roses design on it, this is one of the Bearlymine design papers and you will find it here its called "Roses Dreams", I have also used a second one in yellow and a Cheery Lynn Doily die and then placed it on top of the first layer, the mounted image was then placed in the center. I then used my Memory Box fence and gate dies to create the front and then placed my sentiment on top  of this at the bottom on the right hand side.
To finish of I have used some of the left over paper to create several flowers with punches and layered them up with a pearl brad in the center of them, I then placed them in the top left hand corner on top of some punched out leaves.

Poor Missy

We picked up our dog Missy from the Breeders (wheres shes been while we attended my grandsons wedding) an hour ago, and it always shatters her, and now shes sleeping it of, Ive no doubt she enjoyed herself with the rest of her doggy family but it always leaves her so tired.

Why Ive been missing

As you will probably remember I have been saying for a while that I would be attending my eldest grandsons wedding, and yesterday was the big day.

Here I am with two of my daughters Karen, Andrews mum and Sarah, the weather was a fabulously hot day thank goodness, and believe me is was boiling in the church. But it all turned out beautifully and everyone had a wonderful day.

And here is Andrew with his beautiful wife Laura and his mum Karen on the left and Sarah on the right. I was so proud of them all, as you can see my grandson is in the Airforce so I hope you will understand why I can't give you to much personal information.
