Adda's Birthday Cake

Adda's 16th birthday today - "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDA!" here is a cake Dominic made for him! It is solid lego so is very heavy. Adda loves rollercoasters so that is what the theme is - in the car on the track Dominic has put the whole family!

Philip's Christmas Card 2008

Here is the card that my son Philip designed at school. The children all design cards then they send the designs off and have the cards made up for the parents to buy. I think he has done really well this year

Sketch Snowman

I stamped the scribble snowman with black stazon then watercoloured him in. Stickles were added to his scarf and hat to make him look snowy. I then added glossy accents to his eyes and buttons. I used a cuttlebug folder for the strip behind the snowman. Then othe papers were a freebie from a craft magazine. It was all finished off with a blue snowflake held in place with a blue brad.

Quick Cards

Not much crafting time lately But I have managed a couple of quick cards - that must be why I called it quick cards!! Here they are - the first one is stamped with one of Linda Luckin's horse stamps - cute isn't he? The swirl down the side is also one of Linda's stamps and I have added some dazzling diamonds to make it sparkle! It is finished with a fabric flower that I have stamped spots onto and some diamonds down the edge!

The second card is even more simple - this time finished of with some brown paper dry embossed with the good old cuttlebug folder. This one has ribbon for a finishing touch and dazzling diamonds yet again.

Quick Note

A very yellow sunny card for a cold day! I embossed the background cards with two different cuttlebug folders and went around the edges with my gold Krylon pen. Then the tree and words were stamped with black versafine and the edges were again guilded with my gold Krylon. Two very bright blooms were then added and some diamonds. Then the whole card had gold Krylon added to the edges.

Last Page

Here is the last page of my little book! The background is again coloured with dabbers. I stamped Linda's butterfly with black stazon and added bindis for their bodies. I edged the page and quote with silver Krylon pen. Black diamonds finish the page off.

Page 5

Page 5 of my little book today! Nearly finished - well I did say it was a "little" book! This time my acetate butterflies make a welcome return they have had the edges of their wings made silver with my Krylon pen. I also used the Krylon pen on the edges of the page and the quote. The page is finished off with a few bindis for the bodies and a decoration on the quote.

Christmas

I've managed two scrapbook pages today. One is 2006 and one 2007. I made them for the Funky Fairy Challenge. This week challenge there are two challenges to chose from I decided to do the Christmas one using ribbon and buttons.

Both pages have Funky Fairy backing paper from the Valentine range - very lovely papers - I might need some new ink cartridges soon!!!

Rain

I made a background out of rainbow paper then embossed some white card with a dotty cuttlebug folder because I thought it looked a bit like rain. I covered a slide mount with rainbowy paper and stamped some acetate with with black stazon. The raindrops are acrylic stickers. A piece of white ribbon with a tag was used to finish it off .

Page 4

Another page to my little book. Background yet again coloured with green dabbers. The flourish down the side was embossed in silver. I then stamped the image and words in black stazon. All of the edges have been coloured with my silver Krylon leafing pen. A few diamonds have also been added.

Night Night Teddy

A card for a friend's birthday today so I used my new extra cute teddy stamp designed by Linda Luckin. I watercoloured him in and added my usual ribbon and gems! I think I need to find a new usual not sure what though - any suggestions anyone??

Page 3

Another page of my little book! This time coloured with dabbers and edged with krylon silver pen. Back of page has been sprayed with glimmer mist and stamped with a fab foam writing stamp. The dandelion head has been embossed in silver.

One Night Stand!

A card that I had ordered earlier in the week today. Letters have been cut on the cricut.

A different sort of christmas card I think you will agree

Page 2

Page two of the book I started yesterday. I used a sticker from DCWV for the quote and stamped on acetate and edged the image with silver leafing krylon pen. The butterfly and hearts are doublesided stickers covered with art institute glitter.

Two Hannahs

I'm trying to catch up on my own birthday cards for family and friends. These were good as the girls involved don't know each other so I did the exactly the same! Please don't tell them! Two simple cards made with Penny Black animal alphabet stamps.

Dreams

I've decided to raid a chipboard box I bought ages ago from QVC - lots of fab chipboard bits and pieces. So here is the front cover of the book that is resulting from the raid. I covered the background in green and silver dabbers then edged it with silver leafing krylon pen. The slid mount was then coloured silver and little flowers and dots added.I then coloured the grungeboard swirl with silver krylon pen and added some chipboard flowers. Just got the other pages to do now!

Dazzling Snowman

I stamped Linda Luckin's scenery stamp in dark walnut Marvey heritage ink. Then on some acetate I stamped Linda's snowman with black stazon - he was then coloured in with dazzling diamond glitter and turquoise glitter. I then stamped the snowman onto the card with the brown pad and cut and stuck the glittered snowman. Dazzling diamonds were then added as snow to the background!

Snowy Atc's

I've managed to make two atc's today! More crafting than I have in ages. Anyway The tree and snowman were stamped onto acetate then glittered and then cut out and stuck down with silicone glue. I edged them both with Krylon silver leafing pen.

Gingerbread House!

Why do I do these things? We bought this

gingerbread house kit from Ikea (I've tried to do this before and had a real disaster) So Adda my son nagged me to help make it ! This attempt is very good I can tell you! At least it is staying in one piece I stuck it together then we had a fight to get icing to the right consistancy thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Anyway I did the snowy roof and Adda did the windows and decorations.

Strangly enough it looks nothing like the photo on the box




While we were playing Dominic cleaned the school shoes!

Christmas Time

Only a few minutes crafting time today. This is what I managed to produce - Linda's fab stamps make an appearance yet again. I have stamped them in brown ink and added my gorgeous dazzling diamonds to the trees - i also added them to me body well I never manage to get them all back in the pot!

Also a single gem for the dot on top of the i in the middle of Linda's scribble as she calls it! Wish my scribble looked that good!

Note

I found these double sided sticky dragonflies when I was sorting out a small corner of my craft room well actually I was looking for the printer which was gradually disappearing under a mountain! So when I found them I stopped tidying and started crafting! I used the dragonflies covered in dazzling diamonds on the background. Then stamped some flowers in green. I finished it off with a bloom, acrylic sparkly blobby thingies and a bit of ribbon!

Merry Christmas

Last christmas card for my mum's batch of cards - for now anyway! Simply made - I put glittery rub ons onto the background paper. I kept the colours cold and snowy using only blue and white. I hope she likes it!

Good Luck

Ginger has been dusted down again today. This time a card for a friend starting a new job! I have done Ginger the same ways as others starring her. I finished this one off with paper flowers and the words cut on a quickuts revolution.

Baby Blue

I needed a card in a hurry today! Why do people always wait till the last minute to ask for cards?

Anyway here it is I don't often use peel offs but I do find the small letters and words very useful when I'm in a hurry.

Skinny Fifi !!!

Fab title !!!! Well a girl can dream What it should really say is Three Skinnys but doesn't sound so good! Anyway these are three skinnys made for the Skinny swap on Craftswap. All are made using Linda Luckin Design stamps - which can be bought from Linda's fab website - If you click on the sunflower you will be transported to her site.

I finished them all off with touches of dazzling diamonds.

Christmas Moo's

I'm on roll today! These moo's are for the Craftswap monthly moo swap! All images are stamped with timber brown stazon then watercoloured in. Dazzling diamonds were then added along with a few other embellishments.

Right off to catch up on next project!!

Christmas Decoration

Here is a Christmas decoration I have been asked to make - it matches one I made a couple of years ago. I had fun making it!

I started by covering a piece of mountboard with christmas paper. Then I covered some slide mounts with matching papers. The words were printed on the computer onto acetate then this was made into a shaker box with some snowy white glitter. Two star charms were added to the frames and ribbons for hanging and decoration.
