New Goodies

Hi, just wanted to share with you my new stash!!

I went all out and bought the Boffle DVD (no photo)

Tim Holtz Spirng inks I ordered these from Art From The Heart, and when they arrived they were packaged so beautifully as you can see! 

Cute huh?!

Even better inside!

Really looking forward to using these, but not tonight!!

Last but not least, my summer promarkers, I just wanted to test them out so, used them to colour this cute wee stamp that I bought in the "cupboard"!!

I'll make a card with her soon!!

Thanks for stoping by x x x

Bits n bobs!

Hi everyone, hope you've all had a lovely weekend, I've had better but hey!

Thought I'd share a few things with you today.

ATCs & Cards With Attitude
This fortnight our challenge is anything goes/one layer.
We've got some great sponsors with fab prizes.
Why not pop over and join in?

This image is from MELJENS and is called Sail Away Sailor.

He's cute, a bit sad though he's waving aay loved ones :(

I've used promarkers to colour the image and doodled a border to match the one on the image.

Using two different papers from my stash I've layered them on a 6x6 scalloped card.

Finished off with some glossy accents, bakers twine and some yellow discs.

Come and have a look

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share with you my DT work for this fortnights challenges.

Firstly over at Fat Pages & Cards with Attitude the theme is Anything goes/Faces
Our sponsors are MELJENS so come on over and join in the fun.
A fat page measures 4"x4" or you can enter a card!!

I've paper pieced her bathers and coloured her with promarkers, think she's hillarious!!! The wording I've made using my Dymo.

Then we move onto ATCs & Cards With Attitude
Same theme!
Our sponsors this time are Limited Runs and I chose to work with Digger & Slimey.
I've kept it simple and just coloured them with promarkers and added some glossy accents and a wee doodle border.

Thanks for stoping by, hope to see you all over on the blogs!!!

Hugs Alison x x

Where in the world?!!

The guys over at Sizzix would like to know Where In The World Is Your Vagabond .....well....
Mine is here with me in sunny Scotland, it's spring time and the earth is coming to life again!

Was going to take it with me up to the castle (Edinburgh) on Tuesday but was told no!!!! :)
So, hope this is ok instead!

Thanks for the chance of winning x x

Bored?!!!

Hiya, me again, just thought I'd show you what I got up to the other day, not very exciting I know but at least now I don't have to go raking through them all to find what I'm wanting!

See you soon!  x x

Mother's Day

Hello!! Well not only was it Mother's Day on Sunday, I was at a joint birthday lunch for my friend Helens niece Shannon who was 18 and her Auntie Margaret who is 70! We all had a lovely time.

So, now to my card, I kinda stole this idea from Leah she said it was alright to do so!!
I bought my first pack of 8x8 cards at the SECC a few weeks ago.
This is what I did.

I used my PENNYBLACK stamp, coloured it with PROMARKERS and decoupaged it up using PINFLAIR to lift it off the page a bit. The papers are Tea Party from DOVECRAFT and the flowers from WILD ORCHID CRAFTS.

I inked around all the edges with my weathered wood DISTRESS INK

To finish off I added a wee butterfly made with my MARTHA STEWART punch and pearl gems.

Hope you like it, thank you for dropping by x x

Froggy Fairy!

Hello everyone, yes I know it's been an age since I last blogged. Not been around much but I'm back now!!
This is a wee card I made for my cousins wee girl.

An easel card using my new KANBAN stamp coloured with PROMARKERS I used my FOREVER FRIENDS paper and Olivia alphabet and NESTABILITIES in my new VAGABOND (which was a surprise Christmas present!!)
I added some GLAMOUR DUST and GLOSSY ACCENTS to finish it off!!

I think she is super cute, hope Amelie does too!!


See you all soon x x x
