Patchwork Cards.

I recently bought some new craft supplies from this place & came across their blog. 

They had a very simple but beautiful card made from making patchwork with little triangles of different patterned papers & thought I'd give it a go.

Well if I am not addicted to doing these now!!! 

They are brilliant for using up all those tiny scraps of paper that is too beautiful to bin.

Here are 3 that I made & there are more in the making!!

Check out the shop too, they are fairly good with their prices & the shipping doesn't go up the more you spend, it is by weight but is still cheap enough & doesn't take too long &  to make it even better you get Charlie points every time you buy something & it all adds up!!

More Charity Cards.

These are 2 more cards done for the Charity card swap that we will be doing at

  Jackie Mooney's monthly workshops.

The images are from the kit I received from Isobel at the January workshop.

The ribbon was part of the kit too.

The papers are printable & are from Pink Petticoat.

The You Make Me Smile stamp is from a Hero Arts set (I think)

I got the idea for these cards/calendars/notebooks from the last Jackie Mooney workshop.

I used glossy accents on the purple pot.

Here is the 

ProMarker combo

Gold, Canary & Buttercup.

Forest Green & Leaf Green.

Aubergine, Plum & Purple.

Mami Doodles Challenge #42 - For a Loved One

The challenge over on Mami Doodles for the next 2 week was chosen by Lisa & it is

  "For a Loved One" 

This should be an easy one with valentines day on it's way. 

To enter the challenge all you need to do is make a card (or any project) for a loved one & add your link to the Mami Doodles blog.

Double Bed

Plus another Mami Doodles image of your choice.

The challenge will run until Thursday the 9th of February at midday (GMT)

Here is my DT card for this challenge. 

I used the image Double Bed. I knew what I would do with this image as soon as I seen it.

Every one has their own hobbies, for me it is crafting & for my DH it is pigeons. It is a bit of a joke between us that if I want him to listen to what I am saying I should start talking about pigeons lol.

I added feathers on his side of the bed as he leaves a trail of feathers

 (& some times pigeon poo (yuck!!!!) when he comes in from the loft, thankfully the boots come off before the poo gets walked into the house!!!!)

I used Core'dinations Chocolate Box card & embossed it with a Sizzix Texturz Plate then distressed it with my new Prima Distress tool (or foot pumice tool as a friend called it) I used a coordinating piece of Core'dinations Card & layered  some Idea-Ology Kraft Glassine paper (that I just crumpled to distress) on top of the Core'dinations card which was also distressed.

The image was coloured using ProMarkers & this is the ProMarker Combo I used!

Quilt & Pillows - Honeycomb & Oatmeal
