New Boots

Hi There Everyone

So here I am again with another card for Crafts and Me, this card however - will actually be my last at Crafts and Me, I have decided to leave, which will give me more time for my little girl, Ruby:-)

My card? I have used another Sue Rundle-Hughes image, she is a brand new artist at Crafts and Me, and I must say I do actually love these... well I love all the fairy images heheheheeh hence why I have stuck around for so long!!

This little beauty is called New Boots.... I love the idea of the fairy getting new boots and lacing them up on a rock... in someone's secret fairy garden! So here it is, I hope you all love it as much as me:-)

So what do you think? pretty sweet huh? I love colouring my fairy's in green.  I think I will miss doing them each fortnight, but I have a stack of images to play with, and of course, there is ALWAYS new ones each and every month! 

So it has been an absolute pleasure, thank you Teresa for having me:-) 

Happy Stamping Everyone, and I'll see you around in the Blog Land no doubt!! and don't forget about the new challenge theme just started over HERE

Fairy Cakes

Hi there Everyone

Today I have a new artist to tell you all about, she of course is designing for Crafts and Me and there has been a new release this month with about 5 images I think... Anyway they are GORGE!!

For my card this fortnight, I have used: Fairy Cake Gardener and she is designed by Sue Rundle-Hughes, Crafts and Me, new and brilliant artist!!!

So here is my card, its only a wee one...

Now my card is slightly different than the Digi image available.... I've missed off and chopped off the cute butterfly which is to the left of the image... Why??? Because I totally buggered it up, and it was horrid and ugly and so not how it was meant to turn out LOL.... so I improvised a bit.... sorry - but the actual image that Sue has designed is gorgeous!! I know you girls and guys... will love it!!

So there you go, just a simple little card for a sweet little someone!!

Also don't forget about the brand new challenge just started over at the Challenge Blog!!

Enjoy your crafting

New Art Deco Geraldine

Hi There Everyone

Well we have hit December, not long until Christmas - although before that, the world is meant to blow up or something isn't it? Do you think I should wait to do my Christmas Shopping? hahahahahha

Anyway this week at Crafts and Me we have some new digi images, like we always do on the 1st of each month.  This month we have some brand new Art Deco images which you can check out here...

Lovely Sienna

Hi Everyone

This week I want to showcase to you a Sara Burrier image - this one is called Sienna.  Sienna is a bit of a mermaid - I seem to have a bit of a thing for mermaids at the moment - just about all my cards are mermaids!! hahahah

I have created my own background mini paper - right behind Sienna - I did it with some distress inks, Mr Huey's spray in white (which dried kinda chalky??) then I stamped with a music stamp in some oil based stamp ink... apparently it's better when stamping on Distress Inks - so Mr Tim Holtz tells me!!

Anyway here she is I hope you love her as much as me:-)

Don't forget that it's Wednesday and a brand new challenge has just started over at the challenge blog - be sure to check out that the girls have made to inspire you this week - I know it's gorgeous!!!

Ocean Rose and Dahlia

Hey Everyone

It's my turn (Karen) to show case an image at Crafts and Me, and this week I've picked Ocean Rose - she is designed by Hannah Lynn.

I've printed my image onto some copic blending paper and then coloured her with my copic's.  I've also added some Atyou Spica here and there in clear, but you probably can't see it so well in my picture.

Anyway Here she is I hope you love her as much as me:-)

I've tried to keep the card fairly simple (well for me anyway) just by adding a few flowers a bow and a little pebble of the bird.  I think she has turned out great:-) I especially like the richness of the paper with my image which I used a bit of Distress Ink on to age it a bit.


Anyway my next card I would love to show you is my challenge card from last week, it's an image also by Hannah Lynn (I'm loving these ones at the moment) and this one is called Dahlia. Dahlia is new this month and well I guess it wont be long before there is another release (on the 1st of each month) anyway here is my Dahlia - I hope you love her as much as me:-)

Now don't forget that a new challenge has just started over HERE We can't wait to see what you all create this week:-)


Till next time:-)
