Feeling blue!

03.05.2009 by 13 Comments

I just got my new nesties yesterday (at last – I think these were in high demand!!) so couldn’t wait to have a wee play. Since I did a pink haired Gorjuss girl I have wanted to do some other less conventional hair colours so thought I’d have a go at blue! I think she looks just as cute. The papers are SU! ( don’t seem to be using anything else these days!) and she’s coloured with promarkers. Since she is surrounded by glitter and gems I thought it would qualify for this weeks “Mirror Mirror” challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where you have to use something shiny. It don’t get much more shiny than glitter now does it?!

Stamp With Us and PTW.

02.05.2009 by 12 Comments

This is the first chance I’ve had to get a card made for the Stamp With Us challenge which is a recipe this week – 2 patterned papers, 1 ribbon and 4 brads. I just never seemed to get the time latley so I am doubly chuffed to be able to enter this card for PTW too. Quite by accident, it meets the brief of Spots and Stripes!! The papers are Stampin Up!, the image is Stamping Bella and everything else is just my stash. It’s been there so long I don’t remember where on earth it came from!!
Hope you’re enjoying some sun in your part part of the world. My 9 year old son in his quest to find his DS charger has lost my car keys (it’s a long story) and so whilst he is up in the Lakes with Olivia and Dad (probably with said keys in his pocket) I am “trapped” at home with the other 3 children. Thankfully it’s sunny so they’re all happy as Larry playing in the garden and on their bikes etc. I was planning on taking them up to The Blue Planet tommorrow though as I think it’s meant to rain and it’s mostly indoors there. I don’t think I’ll survive if I can’t get out of here 2 days running!! The search will continue after I’ve had a cuppa to calm me down! Wish me luck….

Charisma cards challenge 17 – Thank You!

01.05.2009 by 10 Comments

I have managed to make a card – yay! I have been so busy these last couple of weeks with my other job – managing our property portfolio – that it has been seriously interfering with my crafting time. It always happens like this. Not just one tenant moves out – 3 do at once. So I have been running around all over the place arranging for new tenants to move in etc which has had me pooped!

This card is for this weeks Charisma Cards Challenge which is Thank You’s. I have used one of my favourite colour combo’s – brown and orange, a lovley Rachelle Anne Miller stamp, promarkers and ribbon from a Raspberry Ribbons kit. The papers are all Stampin Up – from Steph :0). I used my trusty old circle punches to make the flowers then scrunched them up and added a button.

Right, it’s turned REALLY dark and gray here so better go and get my washing off the line before the heavens open. It was glorious when I got up this morning :0(
Hugs,
Caryn xxx
