Hobby House in Papercraft Essentials

Hello

Just stopping by to say that the Hobby House's English Rose Collection is featured in this month's Papercraft Essentials Magazine (Issue 159).


The wonderful Jill from the Hobby House asked if I would be interested in creating seven cards for the cut out and keep feature.  The answer of course was YES, it has been my dream and desire to have one of my cards featured in a magazine.  Thanks to Ria from Papercrafts Essentials and Jill I've had seven!  Here's a couple of photos of the pages featuring my cards.



and here is one of the cards I produced.

Include an Animal over at Di's Digi Designs

Hello

It is time for a new challenge over at Di's Digi Designs and this fortnight the theme is:

Include an Animal


For my DT card I included three cute mice!  They are so cute on the image here, using the sunflower leaves as beds, but I'm not too keen on seeing mice in real life!!  

The image is Slumber Sunflowertime which is available from Di's Digi Stamps and has been coloured with Copic markers.  I've kept the layout fairly simple, just adding a few roses and a sentiment.  Not sure where the cute little ladybug is from as it was part of some "candy" that Marianne Fisher offered (and I won) a while back - thanks again Marianne.  

Image : Slumber Sunflowertime (Di's Digi Stamps)
Sentiment : Simply Sophisticated (LOTV)
Dies : Oval and Scalloped Oval Dies (Spellbinders)
Embellishments : Roses (Wild Orchid Crafts); Nuvo Drops (Tonic)

I would like to enter the following challenges:


As You Like It Challenge : Favourite Medium  (My favourite colouring medium has to be Copic alcohol markers. I am still learning how to use them but love how you can get dimension to your colouring images.  I also love the variety of colours available)
The Cutie Pie Challenge : Challenge #122 - Delightful Digi's

Thank you for stopping by and please hop over to Di's Digi Designs Challenge to see the fabulous inspiration from the design team.

Hand Coloured Image over at Di's Digi Designs

Hello

It has been a while since I posted on my blog as I haven't had a lot of time for crafting recently.  My husband suddenly and rather tragically lost his brother in February and we have had to do a couple of trips down south.   He was only 48 and has left the family in a state of shock.  

I did manage to find some time for crafting this week and here is my DT inspiration card for the new challenge over at Di's Digi Designs.  This fortnight the theme is

Hand Coloured Image

I've used the super cute Hot Chocolate and Cookies which is available from Di's Digi Stamps which I coloured  with Copic pens.
