Hope Your Day is Dino-mite !

Hello Crafters,
Sometimes I get funny requests when people commission cards and this is one of them. 'A cute dinosaur' for a grown lady? Well here we go.......

 

 

I found this digi image amongst my files and coloured it with my Promarkers. The sentiment was computer generated and fitted in to a speech bubble in 'My Craft Studio' programme. I can't remember where the papers came from sorry, I've have such a huge stash of them - (guilty face.) I matted and layered with black cardstock to make it pop and a little faux stitching to finish.

Hope you like it.

I'm entering this in to the challenges at:

 Scribble and Scrap - #5 Anything Goes.

Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes.

 

I'm off to catch up on your blogs and could possibly have another post today if my mojo keeps up.

Clearly Besotted Stamps

Hi,
I was browsing blog posts yesterday and came across a company that I had not heard of before, although I'm sure lots of you out there have, it was Clearly Besotted Stamps . I really liked their stamps and dies so I placed an order. The service I received was exemplary. I ordered yesterday afternoon at about 3pm and my goods were delivered this morning. They were packaged in pretty pink tissue and with a hand written note too. I was extremely pleased, it is very rare to get such service nowadays. I emailed Stephanie, the owner, and told her how pleased I was.
I can't wait to start playing with my purchases and I will show you what I have made in a few days.
In the mean time hop on over to the shop and the blog, you won't be disappointed.

Off to play !

Two Cards !

...I'm on a roll here.
Hi everyone, tonight I have two cards to share with you, completely different styles.
The first one was commissioned for a 1st Anniversary so I kept it classic and mostly white with  bronze and gold touches.
The background is using one of the new 8" x 8"  Die'sire Embossalicious folders called 'Rose Garden'. I like using these larger embossing folders because I usually make A5 size cards and these larger folders mean I don't have to make a join in the pattern. I also used some of my Spellbinders' dies to make the frame and the filigree border at the bottom. The leaves and swirls were Magnolia Doohickey and Marianne Creatables dies respectively. Hope you like it?

My other card tonight is a cute card that I made for my Great-Niece, she will be 3 soon -  as you can see from the speech bubble I created on my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine. I watched a tutorial on You Tube from destamperjo , showing the process and it was quite easy.
The papers I used and the cute cat image came in a set which were free on a magazine, they are from the Wild Rose Studio - Milton & Co collection.

 

.... and finally, as you may have noticed, I've used another Flair Button from 36 Shades of Flair, I really love these embellishments, just right for this card.
Well bye for now...
..enjoy your weekend.

Hi, this is my first day of Blogging. 
I've overcome one or two snags and gremlins and here I am. Hopefully things will become clearer and less confusing as I go along. I found it quite challenging to set this up lol.
If anyone has some tips on creating blogs I would welcome them, thanks.

I hope you enjoy visiting my craft room now and again in the future and look forward to reading your comments.

Lorraine. :)
