M I A!...

Morning lovely Peeps!

 

Apologies for my lack of posts recently, life suddenly got very busy indeed.....well it's always busy but it just kinda got in the way, you know what I mean don't you lol!!  But here's a card I made last week that I haven't got around to posting yet!...

 

 

 

Yes, probably just like most of you, I HAD to buy some of the new LOTV sentiment stamps!!  Love how quickly you can make a card when there's no colouring involved!!

 

 

 

This one is kinda like the one I posted here, except this is the girlie version lol!!

 

Hope you're all well?  I've been doing a quick reccy of your blogs but hope to have a proper catch up over the weekend.....along with some crafty time too!!  :o))

 

Much love,

Cazza

Let's Get Sentimental

Morning All,

 

Coming at you from Cupcake today and we have another fabulous challenge for you this week...

 

Let's Get Sentimental

 

Now this is a theme that would terrify me normally, but I have to say I totally loved it!!  So if you're like me and feel a card isn't a card without getting the copics (or markers of your choice!) out, then don't be fooled - it's fun to try something different  :o))

 

 

 

A side view...

 

 

 

This week we're sponsored by not one, but two fabby sponsors - Crafts U Love and Flat Friends so give sentiments a go and I'll see you over at Cupcake!

 

Much love,

Cazza

Happy Father's Day!!

Evening All,

 

And a Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.  I hope everyone has enjoyed their day?  We went out for dinner with my Father In Law and then went over to see my Mum & Dad, a fabby day  :o))

 

Here's the card I made for my Dad and my Father In Law, normally I make them different cards but due to time constraints, they had the same style this year!

 

  

Colouring on Kraft, my first attempt at this technique too!...

 

 

 

A side view...

 

 

 

I really enjoyed colouring on Kraft, I was very nervous to even try this but it was more fun than I thought it was going to be and surprisingly quick too!

 

Ok, hope you all have a super evening, Marple for me - I love it!!  See you in the morning with my Cupcake DT card  :o)

 

Much love,

Cazza

Wot, no Copics?!!

Afternoon!

 

Super quick post from me today, just sneaking in before I go to pick up Big Boy from school!  Today's card is for my Brother-In-Law who turns 40 on Sunday and, as the post title suggests, something a bit different for me.....no coloured image and no copics in sight, dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!  What do you think?

 

 

 

 

Very easy to make and very quick too, perfect for the 'rushed off her feet Mum' lol!

 

 

 

There is a load of glamour dust around each star and the 40 is also coloured in with it, it's just not showing in the pictures, must be the lack of light and sun, again lol!

 

See you soon peeps,

Much love,

Cazza

Morning lovelies,

 

And a Happy Monday to you all  :o))  Today I'm coming at you from Cupcake and we have a great challenge for you this week...

We want you to create a Summer Scene so grab your dies or background stamps and have some fun!  Here's my card...

I thought I'd make a start on Fathers Day cards (as I have 4 to make!) so this one is for my Step Father-In-Law.  He restores classic cars so LOTV Toot! Toot! was a perfect image to use!

 

Pop over to Cupcake to join in the fun with us, this week we're sponsored by Marianne Design who are offering Two Dies and Two packs of gorgeous Ribbon Trim  :o))

 

See you soon guys,
