At last........

Well Baby K is now 6 months and also Daddy is currently out of work. These two things combined mean that I actually had some time yesterday to finish off a card! I started it some time ago, originally I had intended it for the Crafters Companion Breast Cancer challenge. I never got around to finishing it however and a friend was 30 today - who happens to love pink! So I put all the various elements together and added 30 and Happy Birthday to it. I had intended to spray it with CC iridescent Spray and Sparkle but the nozzle was clogged or something, as it just dribbled. Unfortunately the Multi-coloured comes out much thicker and was a bit over the top but I could not undo what had been done!I am however quite pleased with my shading on the image (Kanban stamp) using of course, my beloved ProMarkers!

Plain white card coloured using Distress Ink, pink mirror card from Craft Creations Ltd, pink patterned card from First Edition Paper Summer Breeze 6x6 pad. Peel Offs coloured using ProMarkers. Spellbinders used for the cut-out oval frame. Adhesive "lace ribbon" from stash.

As you can see, life with a new baby has left no time for blogging let alone crafting! I still follow the work of others however, plus hope now that he is getting older and more independent, that I may get the odd minute or two at my craft desk soon! Anyhow, I am entering a Blog Candy draw here: Blog Candy

Aqua Markers this time!

Just seen a fantastic project on the Letraset site, featuring their 20 new colours for Aqua Markers.

If you haven't seen any of her work using both Pro and Aqua Markers, you really need to check her out, her shading and construction are sublime!

Another commission completed....

I was asked a while back to do a wedding card for a friend to give her sister, who was getting married in July. She wanted a Bookatrix style card and the colour scheme for the wedding was royal blue and white. Not long after I had made a start, I discovered I was pregnant! My motivation and energy have flagged since as the impact on my diabetes was quite incredible. Additionally, it meant we need to get the house sorted rather urgently so spare time when I am able tends to involve painting etc. I finally finished however, so this is the end product.

Facebook in its wisdom has decided all blogspot addresses are spam and marked them as abusive! We can thus no longer post links to our blogs to our fellow crafters on FB! Kind of defeats the whole "social networking" aspect eh?!

Starting to get my head around cyber world and especially Blog Candy. This is basically where someone is giving away craft stash on their blog. Just entered my second one at the talented site of Wiccababe (Debbi Glennie) @ blogspot who is giving away metallic Pro markers, as she has been creating with them recently to wonderful effect. Check out her work on the Letraset Blog.
