IT'S ALL ABOUT JOY!!

Hi everyone!,

Been a busy bee today sorting out my new stash I bought at Ally Pally yesterday, and I  been up since 5am!! ( not beacause I was excited about my new bits, but my beloved son was playing on his X-box and talking to his mates online and woke me up :o( !!).
So I got up, made myself and Steve ( yes, woke him up as well!! ) a cup of tea and sat and watched a film then had a look on Docrafts website at all the lovely cards the members have made.
So, after getting some inspiration from all those lovely crafter, I got dressed and went and played in my craft room!!

Hi all,

My little challenge today was to use spotty paper!!

This challenge was alot easier then my last one, I just love spotty paper!!. The paper is from Funky hands papercraft factory, their brand new CDRom that came out in January, and it's fab!. I have quite a few of their CDRoms, sooo very easy to use and have great colour combo's, so not alot of thinking when putting the papers together.

I also used Daisy and Dandelion stamps for my little challenge, great images to colour in and so cute and adorable, stamps coloured in with my beloved Promarkers ( what would I do without them!! ).

I hope you like my little works of art today, please feel free to leave a little comment, it's lovely to hear from you all, I really appreciate them!!

Take care and watch this space for more challenges :o)

Bye bye for now xxx

Hi all,

My little personal challenge today was to use black and white paper!!, not as easy as it sounds.

When trying to think of a design, everything was looking quite dark (obvious, I know!!), but I wanted to use these particular stamps with a little bit of spring thrown in.

So these are the cards I made, what do you think??. I am very pleased with Rian image, the stamp is so cute and I love the colour combo on it, and the little girl with the umbrella is lovely too. The one I had issues with was "Dressed up", but I think it turned out well in the end.

Hope you like my new gadget - my little slide show - I think it's fab!!
