Wedding Album using papermania, DCWV & LOTV

Used Lili of the valley stamp and papermania papers. A die cut sentiment, some pretty pearls I got given from my friend for my birthday and a mixture of gorgeous ribbons, some very old and some very new.

Close up of image, coloured with my promarkers.

Close up of pretty ribbons.

Lots of brads, gems and a little lace.

Stamped 'love' sentiment and again coloured using promarkers.

Used some more of the pretty papermania flowers and attached with a DCWV butterfly brad.

More formal layout for a couple of larger pictures, again brads to finish.

I used my lace trim border punch to add detail to the plain page.

I cut out some hearts using my x-cut dies. I used pigment chalks to edge and some satin ribbon attached with some pretty little brads.

More ribbon at the edge secured with brads and an acetate sentiment attached using even more bradlets.

Close up of die-cuts and faux stitching.

Tags and flowers and also I wove the satin ribbon in and out of the holes that I punched.

Again with the woven ribbon! (and how is it you think you have gotten rid of all those little squares from the back of your raised pads and then suddenly there they are again).

Gorgeous DCWV brad, more faux stitching and an acetate sentiment.

More tags

ditto

Close up of romance sentiment

This cute card is made using a LOTV diecut. I have made it for a friend of mine who lives down in the South of England, so will need to send it by post and have managed not to add any embellies, fortunately as it is for a man, there wasn't a great call for them anyway. hehe.

I was going to enter it into the last lotv challenge at lilies little fairies, but missed the deadline. hohum.

Anniversary card using Penny Black Hedgies

Top picture with no flash, bottom one with.

The real colours are somewhere in between.

This is a cute little PB hedgy stamp, that I have coloured with a mixture of Promarkers and Whispers pens.  I have used some lovely papers from a candy win from a whiley back and am afraid I do not know their name Sorry. The green 'ribbon/lace' is my most recent purchase from Cullen Crafts. I have layered up onto checked paper and distressed all the edges with my scissors. The rose is a beauty and I have recycled it from a package that I made at Christmas that got water damaged (leaky roof).The wee charm is from my stash, and I punched out wee hearts from some more of the checked paper.

The sentiment is LOTV and this card is an anniversary card for my aunt and uncle who celebrate 41 years together next week.

Blue Butterflies

So then, another card made. I am on a roll just now, kiddies have all been good and occupied, some watching dvd's and some making cards. (Perhaps I should type this as a whisper!)  This card is a LOTV image from a pack that I got from a magazine, loads of images to colour.

I have coloured her with my promarkers (which all seem to be running out at the moment, so might try some copics next time, see if they last any longer than 1yr). 

I have used some DCWV card as the base, then layered up some bazzil and other blues (and thrown in a bit of purple for contrast).  The pearls have been added around the corners of the frame and then I used a PM to 'sew' around the edge of the image.

The butterfly is from Papermania, the flower is a mixture of die cuts , prima and one that I made myself from punches and wet scrunching, then added glitter when dry, attached together with a silver brad.

The ribbon with the vellum birthday sticker is a dovecraft I believe.

I am sharing my card with the following challenges:-}

Lili of the Valley Birthday Card for Tishy

Well this card has been made for my lovely daughter Tishy, she celebrated her birthday very recently and had lots of lovely pressies and loads of lovely sweeties. So she is very happy!

I made this card using a LOTV square and then made the sketch as I went along, using my stash to colour co-ordinate with the images colourways.

I used some of my new lace and also some organza accross the card and some mulberry paper under the image as a base on top of the main card which is made from some DCWV card. The stamped sentiment is also LOTV from their mini sentiments set.

The flowers are from my stash (WOC and prima) and the brads are some I recently found.

I made a wee phone charm for her and attached this with a small brad and flower.

Thanks for popping over, hugs from

Wild dash into the unknown .... Hmmm nope just my son on a bike ride

This wonderful LOTV image has been coloured using my promarkers and I have embossed light card and then used my punches to make half a flower frame to the picture. Topped up with the extra gems for a little bling! and two wee butterflies with added red glitter.

This wee booky has been made for Ro to give to Nana at christmas, but didn't want it too christmassy. I will endeavour to get a couple of really good photo's of him out on the many Summer weekend bikerides (during which, I always forget to take photo's!!!)
I made some tiny flowers out of greens and blues with a glittery copper flower bottom layer, which I didn't curl but left flat for a change.
The sun, just for a bit of a laugh is hurling itself through the windows this morning, looovve it! Of course it has made the photo's a little over exposed and lots of shadows, but its lovely today, so not to worry.
