Peachy Keen #18

What a difference it makes when I go upstairs to make something I want to make instead of all those Christmas cards I (along with all of you) had to make :o)

This is my take on the Peachy Keen challenge 18 over at http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2009/12/peachy-keen-stamps-challenge-18.html

I found this Magenta anemone stamp in the bottom of a box, unused for so long so I decided to give it an airing. Of course out came the Copics to colour it. I edged the petals with gold Glamour Dust and the flower centres are highlighted with Sakura Stardust pen.

The BC is from PMS many moons ago and never used, sentiment is from the SU Bloom set and the pearls and ribbon are from stash. Strange how the pearls look different sizes on different colours but they are all the same. Oh and I mustn't forget to mention my beloved Nesties :o)

December freebies

Our December freebies are ready for you to download at www.jandppictures.co.uk

Please feel free to download and use them in you projects. Snowdrops are just right for your January/February birthdays. You may use them for your projects and sell them if you wish but please don't copy the original images or claim them as your own.This is a sample card I made using the freebies.

Whilst you are collecting them, why not have a peek at our Christmas paper and topper packs for those last minute cards. They can be bought quite cheaply and they are unique. You can't buy them anywhere else :o)

I would love to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year from Pat and myself :o)

I blew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't even get one card made today let alone several. All of a sudden it is Sunday evening, where did the day go? I did manage to stamp and colour the image for one card so hopefully I'll get that one finished tomorrow before work.

I did manage to get the rest of my cards posted and do some hand deliveries, so all is not lost :o)

Oh well, tommorow is another day!

Finally, the Christmas cards are finished.....

.....at least I hope they are. All the frantic activity of the last few weeks has finally come to an end (fingers crossed). I will hopefully be able to start catching up on your blogs again and who knows, I may even get to post some cards on my own blog :o)

I have a challenge card to make and several January birthdays so I had better go and get cracking :o)

See you later today I hope!

Another neutral baby card

This time it is for after the baby's birth. It is part of the 11 card commission and is off to San Francisco with the giraffe one :o)

Couldn't resist using my nesties again, and of course the colouring is done with copics. Main image is a Nellie Snellen stamp and the rest are from a See D's set :o)

Peachy Keen #17

Here is my offering for Kathy's PK#17 over at http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2009/12/peachy-keen-stamps-challenge-17.html

It had to contain polka dots, stripes, a border and a stamped image. I think it's fair to say that I have covered them all :o) I had to take it's piccy with flash due to very poor light conditions and it has bleached the colours a tad!

The polka dots and stripes papers are from my beloved MME stash, Woodware border punch, white and red card from stash and a scrap of ribbon also from stash. Base card is white linen look from PMS. The image is one I stamped at a friend's house some time ago. Oh I nearly forgot the panel was border cut then nestied :o)

Fantastic crafting day again

Here I go again, I can't seem to stop using this colour combo at the moment.

I had another brilliant day crafting with friends yesterday, forgive me if I repeat myself but I am getting on a bit so it's allowed LOL.

We also had a good dose of retail therapy and I bought another set of nesties (the plain ovals) and a few other bits of 'necessary' stash :o)

Have a fun day everyone
