Coming at Crafts and Me.......

Hiya Peeps,

I'm back again with a sneak preview of what is being unveiled by Crafts and Me this Sunday at Stamperama Stevenage.  The image is called  Scarlet Sofa  by Jasmine Beckett-Griffiths and will be available to purchase from Crafts and Me online after the show depending on stock.


I have to admit my mojo was missing when I made this card.  I have decided that I must of had flu, correction, still have flu. I have been unwell for two weeks now and have been struggling to talk without coughing for most of this week. With the snow falling from the sky I won't be venturing out of my house and will be praying for the rain to come on Saturday and clear it all away so I can drive to Stamperama on Sunday.
Ingredients:-
Image by Jasmine Beckett-Griffiths available from Crafts and Me
Papers by Marianne Designs
Ribbon by Marianne Designs

Black Rose


First Snow




Hope to see you at Stamperama!

3 to share

Afternoon all!  I've got 3 to share with you today using stamps by Crafts & Me.  First up is one of the brand new digis by Sara Burrier - this is LADY OF THE STARS which is coloured mainly in flexmarkers and a little bit of promarkers.  I added glamour dust with a glue pen along the string and also used the glue pen to attach tiny stars.  I made this one quite simple as I wanted the full size image so printed her out at 6" tall and have attached with black, blue and silver holographic card.



Next up is MOONGLOW which I've done in a pink theme using promarkers and the white bits are all glamour dust (ultra fine crystal glitter)  She's by Hannah Lynn and is one of my favs :)


And lastly this is a rubber stamp by Hannah Lynn called BIRTHDAY GIRL.  I love all her frills and she was really fun to colour.

Well peeps I hope you're all managing to keep warm, get those fluffy socks on and nuggle down under the duvet which is where I'm heading now! x

Smartie Pants

Hey Peeps!

I`m so sorry i am late...again...this seems to be the case a lot of times lately, lol. It is so hard to figure out a schedule i can live with, now that i have picked up some more hours at work, but i`ll figure it out, lol.

I have some good news i want to share with you. Last night my niese gave birth to a healthy baby boy. We are so proud of her doing it the old fashioned way, lol. Both i and My sister has 2 caesareans each so we were happy that Cecilie didn`t have to go through it. The fun part in this is that i get to tease my sister course she is only 37 years old and allready a grandmother, lol. My parents are relatively young too. Mum has managed to become a great grand-mother at the age of 57. I bet she wasn`t too happy about it at first, lol

Well...over to my card. I have used a bit more colour than i usually do for my creations. But this image screamed out for bright colours, lol. This is a brand new release by Hannah Lynn and i think it is soooo cool. She is called Smartie Pants. I just imediately fell for it when i saw it, lol. If you like it, it is available right here in the Crafts and Me store.


I tried to take a pic so you can see the "glasses". I used Glossy Accents to make the glass in her glasses. I think it turned out pretty cool.


Well that`s all from me this time. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Please make sure to join in on the challenge over at Crafts and Me Challenges. The theme is Pins. So go grab your craft stuff and join us. Good luck!

Pucker up it's Kissy Fish !!!

Hi Everyone, how are we all? It's Karen here

Crafts and Me is having a release day today.... yep it's the first day of the month, so that means new digis for us to play with, but the card I'm sharing today isn't a newbie... heheheh tricked ya's 

This one is called Kissy Fish and it's by Hannah Lynn.  I've coloured her up with my copic's and I decided to use some colours I don't use often which is apricot... I thought she would look nice with some red and green, and then I gave her some black hair instead of brown!! I always do brown hair don't I ??? anyway I have some N copic's which are kinda new, so I guess that's why I've always done brown.... anyway here is my card - I hope you like it!!


So do you think she looks kinda Spanish? I dunno, maybe it's just me... but I think she does:-) On my card I have some cheese cloth which I sprayed with glimmer mist in suede - looks cool doesn't it, My lace I think is from Prima - but it could be Webster's or May Art's.... I can never remember LOL.  The flowers are of course from Wild Orchid Roses, and so is the seam binding! My cameo is a purchase from ebay, and the washi tape is by Tim Holtz!! The Paper is from Basic Grey's Little Black Dress 6x6 Paper Pad!! 

My next card I would like to show you, is Crafts and Me, Exclusive, Nature Fairy... I made this one for the Pink and Sparkly Challenge that I was the host for, I hope you enjoyed it as much as me:-) So anyway here she is, hope you like this one too!!


I changed the black silhouette to pink in my photoshop, but then I smothered her with Glitter, she looks so sparkly and pretty!! Crafts and Me have some awesome glitter here

My Paper is from My Minds Eye, Chevron.... is so hot right now have you seen it everywhere??? It's like everything I've been looking at from CHA is all got some sort of chevron in it!! COOL!!!  Anyway I've made this one kinda plainish, so there is only a little flower and cabochon, with some string.  The Pom Pom trim is really cute, and the strip of paper is a little scrap that was floating about on my desk at the time so I stuck that on too!!! 

Anyway, I hope your all keen as for the new challenge which will be starting soon.... 
Ok that's it from me, seeya's next time:-) 
Hugs
Karen
