WOW at LCI Midway reminder

Happy Tuesday !!

Today is my wedding anniversary but John is away on business and I'll probably spend the morning in yoga and take Lewis to a drum lesson after school....ho hum what happened to the days of wining and dining.

The Ladybug Crafts Ink challenge for this fortnight is 

'W.O.W. - White on White'

and my fantabulous image is Apple Tree

I have used Glossy Accents on the apples and Wink of Stella on the leaves but unfortunately you can't see this in the photo.

Thank you for stopping by

Happy Birthday Maria

Just a quick post today to show you a card that I made for my friend....

I have had this stamp for as long as I can remember

 but this is the first time I have inked it up.

I teamed it up with some DP from Stampin Up and paper pieced the chair

 - added a little bit of bling and here you go.

Thank you for stopping by - hope you are having a nice weekend.

ANYTHING GOES

I'm just in love with my image
Sweet Treat Billie
which is available today along with all the other new Billie Bear images

When I received it I just knew I wanted to see him in patchwork so off I went and googled digital patchwork papers and came across this gorgeous blog
Kym's Crafty Cards where she designs papers - they are just fabulous and not expensive too !!

I paper pieced Billie with the papers and just know he will be one of my favourites.

Weekend again.....

 

How quick are the weeks going by - 3 weeks until Easter - which reminds me of lambs and budding flowers.....but looking through my window today that doesn't look likely.

 

Todays card is made using LCI Floral Delights coloured in using Prismacolour pencils and glamour dust and glossy accents for the look of water in the vase and the ladybugs.

The ribbon is from Country Baskets and the embossing folder is by Darice.

A Productive day.....

Since Christmas I haven't done any power walking due to Asthma and Bronchitis but yesterday I went for a slow four mile walk - although on the way back my chest did get tight I felt great.....but today I've struggled but ho hum am going to try again tomorrow - maybe a little bit shorter......

 

Isabelle, my friend's daughter, wanted to do something different (and cheap as she's only 15) for her Mum this Mother's day so as I was looking after her last night - we came up with the idea of a coupon book.....so today I set to and made one - my very first !!

I made it to match the card I made for her too.

and Pink Petticoat paper

a sneaky peek at the inside

and altogether....

 

the coupon book ........

 

I perforated each page so that she can pull each page out..

......and Isabelle can decide what she is going to do for each one

 

Hope you like my new idea as much as Isabelle did -

 and hopefully her Mum will too.

 

Thank you for stopping by

 

Hugs
