Here's one I made earlier!

The old mojo has gone into hiding this weekend. I have ideas for three separate cards but can't get any of them to come to fruition. Lots of wasted card and ink with no result - boohoo.

So here's one I made earlier... well, last week.

I stamped the circular images on watercolour paper and then coloured with Distress inks and my water colour pen. I use these circles over and over again. They are from a Kelly Panacci set I've had for ages, but which does not seem to be available anymore. I think I'd take this set as part of my Desert Island crafting kit!

Once the paper dried I stamped the gorgeous Winnie & Walter 'hello', doodled a border and mounted on black card. A very quick and simple card, but fun to make!

Blue and green - LIM

We've all heard the old adage 'blue and green should never be seen... '.
Whoever came up with this phrase obviously never got inky with Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters!

Apologies that this LIM entry is very similar to my previous card, but sometimes you get an idea in your head and want to develop it further!

The circles are from a Kelly Panacci Clear Stamp set called 360 degrees. I love the different circles in the set and have to hide it from myself to prevent the same images appearing on all my cards.

I coloured the centres of the circles using a water pen. This pen was on loan from my Mom, but today I went and bought her a replacement as I know that I'll be using it again and again!
The sentiment is by Papertrey ink and I added some scored lines and tiny gems to finish the card.

All very simple, but hey, 'less is more'!

I best go and organise our evening meal so that it's ready before the Olympics evening programme begins. I am so impressed by all of the sportsmen and women taking part in these games. Team GB has performed brilliantly and it breaks my heart when someone apologises for not winning gold. Most of us aren't even fit enough to run for the bus and so feel nothing but admiration and pride at their achievement.

Happy crafting everyone!

Ketto cuteness!

A very quick post this morning as it's a Christmas shopping day today for myself and hubby.

I just wanted to share these little thank you cards that I made earlier in the week for my sweet sister-in-law.

These lovely little Ketto images come courtesy of my sweet blog friend Beth. I've been saving them for a special project and it was great to finally get colouring and cutting as they are so much fun.

Sadly this is the last of that sweet 'Poppet' paper, except for a teeny, tiny scrap. Do I use that last piece on a card or sleep with it under my pillow?

The sentiments are from Hero Arts and the other stamps are Hero Arts Raindrops background stamp, that sweet Kelly Panacci clear design set that I love and a fabulous Stampin' Up set! There's oodles of glitter and sparkle on each card, but it doesn't quite show up in the photographs... you'll just have to trust me on that one!

I love the sweet long-legged fairy on my first card, so am going to enter her for Flutterby Wednesday Challenge #84 over at Danni's Dreams. If you haven't discovered this cute site it is worth a look as there is always plenty going on there, including challenges and tutorials.

We have had some very high winds across the UK over the last few days.

How does my daft cat deal with this? He goes and climbs the tallest tree in our garden!

Thankfully my hubby was able to encourage him to come down.

It's official, cats are odd!
