Bookmark

Hi,
This is the bookmark I have made for the contest on Anns Paper Art Forum, it was really good to do this sort of thing for a change.
I think it's about time I got a bit more adventurous with my things, I should be like Penny and work outside the box more often, she comes up with lovely items by doing that.
The pattern I used for this book mark is one of Ann's and the number is a352.
Hope you like it

Birthday card for my Son

Hi,
I have made this card for my eldest son who will be 46 on 30th December, oh dear, how old does that make me feel.
The stitched pattern is from A & N, so lovely to do.  The reason I did the ace of diamonds is that people call him a diamon geezer, so I thought it quite apt.
The gold coloured backing paper is actually wallpaper, how cheap is that ha ha!!
Amazing how we crafters can save a penny or two LOL,  it leaves more pennies for crafting goodies.
Hope you like it,

Card for Engagement

Hi
This is the card I made for my Grandaughters Engagement.  Georgina got engaged to Adam at her
21st Birthday Party, in Warrington.
We had a lovely time at the Party and stayed in Warrington so that we could visit my husbands family
who live nearby, we had a really good weekend, surrounded by lovely children,  grandchildren and great grandchildren.

For this card, I used my new Martha Stewart round the page punch, put lots of little hearts and bits in a dome.  The buckle is also a new die from Making memories.   So buckles with everything now ha ha!!

21st Birthday Card

Hi,
I have just made this card for Georgina one of my Grand-daughters. She is very shortly going to be 21 and she is also getting engaged on her Birthday. She lives in Warrington so my hubby and I are going up there for a few days.

There is going to be a big Party on the Saturday night and then on the Sunday we are going visiting the rest of the family that live in the area.  A good time will be had by all.

I used a Martha Stewart punch on the corners, the centre cut outs were made by using an EK Success
punch.

The centre of the card I played with a Marianne Design Stencil, I used just part of it and then stitched the design.  The Stencil is a Mandala one, so I only used part of it, I am going to have a go at using the whole stencil shortly.

Thank you for looking

Card for my friend Sue

Hi again, I thought you might all like to see this card I made for my very good friend Sue.
I had to make her a card as a punishment on Anns Paper Art forum, we have a good game going
at the moment where we get punished for using certain words, it's good fun.
Anyway I had to make the card for Sue, and as she is terrified of spiders I made this card for her,
(Some friend I hear you say) LOL

Some of My Christmas Cards

Hi
It has been absolutely ages since I last posted on here.  I have been down my workshop this afternoon and assembled some cards, so thought it time I added them on here.
They were all stitched using Anns Paper Art patterns, I really love her patterns.
I do use other patterns but Anns are my favourites.
I hope you like them, and thank you for looking in

Card I made for my Friend

This was a card I made for my Friend Sue, it was a card I had to make for using a banned word in
Anns Paper Art Forum. It's a funny game that we are all playing, great fun.

I used Anns pattern A037 for it, mounted it on a 8" card and added the roses and butterfly.  I have just bought the Martha Stewart corner punch, I really love it, and I expect you will see it crop up here very often

Here's a few more of Lili of the Valley stamps

Hi everyone,
I thought it about time I added a few more cards on here, I have been at the Lili of the Valley stamps again with my promarkers, yes I am still loving them.
So here goes, hope you like them, and thanks for looking

Purple flower

I borrowed this stamp from Linda, it seems as though I keep borrowing at the moment, any one would think I haven't got any stamps myself. It's really funny because however many you have you always see another one you like  hey ho!!
I used my promarkers for a change he he!! and then glittered the flowers, I think it all matches well in different colours purple and mauve.

Thanks for looking

Open Wide

Hi
I borrowed this lovely stamp from my friend Maureen, I think it is so cute. I think I will have to borrow it again.  I coloured it in with the jolly old Promarkers as usual. I think my great grandson will like it.
The second one is for his Grandad who loves motorbikes.

Grumpy Little Miss

I have just done these 2 Grumpy little miss cards, the 1st one I stitched a border using Anns paper art pattern A034, using metallic variegated threads and then coloured little miss in summery colours finished it off with a bit of glitter and card candies. The stamp is such a cutie from Lili of the Valley.
The 2nd one I did in reds and greens Promarkers then mounted on similar colours and hey presto MY FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD THIS YEAR ha ha!!
I am showing off now as I have done 2 christmas cards today, the 2nd one is also a Lili of the Valley stamp.   I hear that midnight tonight, the new little girly ones are being released by LOTV.
I had better resist them for a while have just bought a whole load of their stamps and had better give it a rest .  Take care everyone, and be lucky

Thank you for looking

Sweet Love

This is just one more for today, I have stitched Anns Paper Art pattern a277 and used another of Lili of the Valley stamps, and guess what I have coloured it in with, yep you've got it Promarkers ha ha!!
I am now going to put this one on Anns forum.

Thanks for looking

Anns Paper Art pattern a269

This is a lovely pattern from Anns Paper Art no. A269, I have stamped the little boy in a chair reading a newspaper and coloured it in with the fab Promarkers.
The stamp is from Lili of the Valley stamps, their stamps are so cute I have just ordered more, I am supposed to be saving pennies but hey ho, I can only spend it once.  The card I have used is by Anna Marie designs, it is fabulous for stamping on, using Promarkers on and also stitching, so I am a happy little bunny now I have that sorted ha ha!!

40th Birthday Card

Hi

This is another really cute one, I have made it for my next door neighbours 40th Birthday. He is going on a cruise to celebrate his 40th so thought the camera was quite apt.  It was another one I bought off June from the Stitch-a-greeting Craft Group. I think it is really cute. Also another one I have coloured with the Promarkers.
When will she give up on them I hear you ask, never, never I say. I love them.

I Love Windmills

Hi
I bought this lovely stamp from one of the ladies at the Stitch-a-greeting Craft Group, she bought in a load of stamps she no longer uses (She is not having this one back he he). I coloured it with the fabulous Promarkers, I thought I'd give one a slightly wedgewood effect, and the other one a slight sepia touch.
That's very slight for both but I was quite happy with the results of both. Thanks June for the stamps.
Hope you like them and thank you for looking.

Couple more cards

Well, Surprise Surprise, here are a couple more cards that I have used the fabulous Promarkers on.
Also the stamps purchased from Lili of the Valley.

Don't worry ladies I will be bringing in more stitched patterns using Anns Patterns, but I am not saying that I won't use Promarkers  LOL!!

Cutie with Puppy

I have stitched a small section from one of Anns Paper Art patterns in sparkle thread and then stamped the little girl with puppy using a stamp from Lili of the Valley and coloured it in using Promarkers.
I am afraid that all my cards at the moment are coming up with Promarkers being used on them, I seem to be addicted to them.  A year ago when everyone was really getting into them I was saying I shan't be using them I have loads of other pens I use. Now look at me, I have given my other pens to my daughter and am hooked on Promarkers ha ha!!
I expect the novelty will wear off a bit in time and I will be hooked on other things, LOL!!!

Watch this space, you never know what will turn up ha ha!!

This is a card I stitched using Anns pattern from Card Deco book No. 3, I love the pattern it is one I have used loads of times.  I coloured the Fairy in using my new Promarkers, I am so glad I went on the course organised by Lili of the Valley.  This is one of their many lovely stamps.
It is the card I have made for my Great Grandaughters Christening later on this month.

Mice having fun

Hi
I recently went on a Masterclass to teach me the correct way of using Promarkers.  The course was organized by Lili of the Valley Stamps, it was an excellent experience, I think I learnt loads.
I have done this card of mice having fun with icing sugar and am rather chuffed at the result. The stamp is one from Lili of the Valley, I think it is so cute.
I am going now as I want to do some ordering for the ladies at the club. I will put all the details on here when I have worked out how to do a link.
bye for now

Anns Pattern a604

I have made this card using Anns Paper Art pattern a604

After stitching the pattern I made a rosette using wired ribbon and then added a handmade rose.

I am keeping this one short as it's getting late now, and finding my way around this site is doing my brain in.

I have a whole batch of cards ready to come on here after I have had a good nights sleep. I will be back tomorrow and add a few more and find my way round here.
