Dogful wishes

Morning, Peeps! :)

I hope all is well in the crafting world? It's been a bit of a hit 'n' miss crafting wise for me - my mojo gave me a very short notification that it was going on a holiday, I only found out when I sat at my desk with nothing to go on, zilch ideas & lots of 'erm, uh, oh & pfft's' going round my head....lol...still no idea when Mr Mojo is on it's way back...

Anyhow, this card below was one created just before Mr Mojo headed off...and this was a last minute 'Oh, I forgot to do a card from the dog' err...card! It's for my Daughter's 25th birthday from her 12 1/2 year old dog (her dog but I do everything for it & it only listens to me lol) & I know from past experience, that she has to have a card from her 'baby' every year since I've been making cards! But I must admit, it really was a last minute thought as I'd totally forgot beforehand!!!  So, it was a quick image to colour in, one from Mo Manning from Mo's Digital pencil, called Bronte birthday. Fab image to colour & I've tried to colour the image just like our dog!

  Mo's Bronte dog     

                                 My Daughter, Hayley with her 'baby'!

 So, considering this card was last minute, I was pleased how it turned out.  My Daughter is not one for ribbon's & pearls etc, so I had to hold myself back-restricting myself & to stop adding more

to her card - oh it was hard...lol.  

I haven't got my list of ingredients with me so will have to add that at a later date.

So, that is all! I will see you all again soon...

Oh, and, if you see Mr Mojo on your travels through blogland, please tell him he needs to get back...I can't move on without him!!! LOL

Until next time,

I'm 'overall' happy!

Good Monday morning to you all!

Hope you had a lovely weekend? The weather here was stormy, stuffy, rainy & sunshiny  (here is Essex) - not all at the same time but throughout the weekend it was one or t'other! hideous at night time, so humid & hard to sleep.  I'm not a lover of the heat (unless it's winter ;-) ...

Anyho...on to my card...this little easel card was made for my little Niece's 3rd birthday...she is a cutie with gorgeous auburn hair & cheeky face, and she's a little bit tom boyish! I thought this image was cute & just perfect to use on her card - it's another one from Meljen's Designs, it's called A girl & her overalls - I can't help but LOVE Melissa's images she draws...I tried to catch the auburn colour in her hair & if I do say so myself, I think I did a good job!

Good morning, Friends! Hope you're all ready for the weekend?!

I have a friend in the USA who asked me to make a card for a lady that lives here, in the UK.  She wanted a card that offered comfort & hugs.  I came up with this card because I know when a friend is down, we usually end up having a cuppa, a chin wag, an off-load, a moan, whatever you want to call it - and, sometimes THERE IS CAKE involved too!

Ingredients:

Kanban topper, sentiment & background card

Ribbon from stash

Butterflies cut from Memory Box die

Spellbinders matt & layer

Spellbinders flourish trim

Blue card from stash

Have a good one & take care all!

Until next time,

Slice of cake, anyone?

Hi Peeps,

I hope you're all doing ok?

I had fun today creating hubby's birthday card - he's not big on fussy cards but hey, he got one lol

I have used an image from Meljen's Designs (just love, love, love Melissa's digis) called 'http://meljens Topsy Turvy Birthday' - coloured with my promarker pens. I played around adding the buttons, which I liked but I then removed them as I knew it'll be too much for hubby.

Anyway, he liked the card!

Ingredients:

Black 8 x 8 card base

Purple Adorable Scorable card 

Black card from stash

Metallic stars blue wrap paper

Darice 'Zebra' embossing folder

C'ordinations card stock

Meljen's Topsy Turvy birthday image

Promarker pens (colours to follow)

Yellow heart & star buttons.

Sentiment from stash

That's it! Another birthday over, another year older....thankfully lots of other birthdays so onwards & upwards with making more cards...
