CLASSY LADY

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone is well, the sun is still shining and the weather is warming up for the weekend!!
Been mandatory training today, sat through 7 hours of fire, CPR, handwashing and manual handling and my head was buzzing when I came out !!
Got home and ran to my craft room to chill out  and I made this lovely card from Wild rose studio.

Sweet and Sassy

Hi Everyone!!

Well, went back to work today, loads to sort out as always, and those Surgeons can really irritate me lol!!. Never mind, at least I am at home but my poor mum is still stuck in America!!. I see DC are sort of back to normal tonight, and I did manage to upload a card on their site woohoo, so I see how long that lasts, but members are still not rating as much as they use too, what a shame.

Anyway, enough of me waffling, this beautiful image is a Sugar Nellie stamp - sweet and sassy - and you guest it, the designer is Elizabeth Bell!

ALLY PALLY !!

Hi all,
Just to let everyone know, I am off to Alexander Palace tomorrow, and I am sooo excited!!
I love going to this show - The big stamp and Scrapbooking show - in London. I was brought up in Hackney,East London, and I used to go to Woodgreen every saturday to do shopping etc. It's like going home when I get there blah blah blah, I am rambling a bit, sorry!!.
 Anyway, back to the show. I have a little list of goodies I must get, but as crafters know, when you get there it's like being in a sweetie shop and you just want all of it!! ( I will let you know what I buy tomorrow, and show you some piccies!!)

I also made this little card the other day ( I am a lover of cats and you might of notice my little cat Purdey on my blog) and it's a Cherry Green stamp plate from Creative expressions.

 Hi all,

This lovely image is a Sugar Nellie stamp stamp, coloured in with Promarkers and the papers again are a freebee from a mag (cannot remember what mag - have sooo many !!). All the embellishments are from stash and the flower is from craftworks cards, The leaves are from a Nellie Snellen punch, which is so handy to have and I think it works well with the image.

Button and Pearls

Hi all!!

Just a quick chat. I made these cards this afternoon , and my little challenge was to use Button and Pearls!!. Had some papers free from a magazine, I think it was from Scrapbook inspirations, and after yesterdays hissy fit, these were a pleasure to make.

All the embellishments were also free from mags, and the flower was a stamp free from this months craft stamper, so these lovely cards cost me pennies!!, not bad eh :o)

Take care all, and by the way, I am going to Ally Pally on Saturady and I am sooo excited.

Bye bye for now xx

Love Vicky xx

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,

My challenge today was to use free papers we receive in craft magazines!!

How many of us look at the free papers and never use them?? , well I do!!

I receive many mags thoughout the month, far to many to mention, but today I did receive my new copy of Quick cards made easy and guess what?, free papers!!

That gave me a challenge, and inspiration to use them, with these new Sarah Kay stamps that arrived today too.

How sweet you are - free papers!, Ribbon from stash, pearls from stash, flowers from flora Doodles, faux stitching, spiced marmalade distress ink and nesties.

Elodie in the garden - free papers from QCME, ribbon from stash, flowers stamped from a creative expressions stamp plate, card candy, broken glass distress ink and nesties.

Spring is back - free papers from QCME, ribbon from mag, flowers from creative expressions stamp plate, broken glass distress ink and nesties.

All stamps were coloured in with Promarkers.

I think I done quite well with the papers, and I have many more to use!!. I normally print most of my papers from CDroms, which I love especially Funky Hands, Polka Doodles, Joanna Sheen to name a few, but ink seems to have gone in price, as I found out today!! ( 2 cartridges=£35!!).

Try the challenge yourself, you might find you save a few pennies to buy other goodie!!

Take care :o)

Bye bye for now x

Big thank you!!

I hope you like these cards !!
