Bee gnome

 Hello folks

Ah Friday. It doesn't have the same appeal as it used to but even so I look forward to this day every week. And because of the pandemic a weekend of crafting awaits. 

Here is today's card - 

This great stamp is from Woodware's latest collection and is called Bee gnome. I have paper pieced it and coloured it with Triblend and Spectrum Noir pens - 

• IB blend, BG blend, IG blend, FS blend, TN2 and IB1

I have also used - 

• baby blue centura pearl
• pretty posy paper pad from First Edition
• ribbon and gems from my stash
• sentiment tags stamp set from LOTV

Thank you for stopping by today.

Little dragon

 Good morning

Hump day once again. They are coming around quick aren't they? It will soon be half term which will be a well earned rest after yet another difficult half term.

I bought this lovely, cute stamp before Christmas but have only got round to using it. Such a shame as it is so very cute.

The stamp is from Lee Holland and is called with love (available from Crafter's Companion). I have used my Triblends and Spectrum Noir pens to colour it - 

• dragon - DG blend, FS blend, CR shades and CR blend
• balloon - CR blend and CR shades
• IB blend and white gel pen
• ground - IG1 and IG2

I have also used - 

• white centura pearl
• pretty posy paper pad from First Edition
• Chloe's Creative Cards circle die set
• white ribbon and gem from my stash

That's all from me today, thank you for stopping by.

Meerkat madness

 Hello folks

Yes after a short absence I am back. I haven't got any excuses really just I can't believe we are half way through January. I have been crafting although not made many cards. I have been playing with my art journal (a very posh title for me messing around with my stash) and trying to make a memory book. More of that another day (it is going very slowly - got all the gear but not really any idea!!)

Today's card is one I made last year but didn't post until now - 

This great stamp set is meerkat madness from Hobby Art which I coloured with my Triblends and Spectrum Noir pens - 

• tan blend, tan shades, GB blend, GB shades, EB7, EB8, citrus blend, TB blends, IG shades, orange blend and IB1

I have also used - 

• matt black card
• First Edition pick n mix paper pad
• MFT stitched circle STAX die set
• MFT gift box cover up die set
• white gel pen

The accessories are from the meerkat madness stamp set too and were coloured with Triblends and Spectrum Noir pens - 

• AG blend, IG blend, citrus blend, TB blend and orange blend

That's all from me today. Have a good weekend.

Three little maids

 Good morning

How are we all doing. Life at work has been very interesting and busy. People who say schools are closed need to look more carefully I think.
