Well everyone it's that time of the week again. Making up Faiths fantastic digi stamp last minute as always. Although this week it really was not my intention I had planned to be early but my stinking cold had other ideas. I'm only just starting to feel human again and composed enough to even think about crafting, WOW I must have been unwell.

Anyway this card is not what I had in mind when I printed out the stamp but I think it turned out OK for a last minute rush together. I only hope that Faith feels I have done it justice. If you like the image you can purchase it in Faiths online store Designed2delight.. So although you may have missed out on it as a freebie you can still have fun playing with it.

This card is called a corner easel card and the backing paper was a feebie from a magazine I got last year but never used the papers. The snowflakes are a cuttlebug die and the gems are from a nail file I purchased from the pound shop. Yes a nail file I'm not kidding. Well not this time anyway.

Thanks for taking a look and I hope to be back again very soon.

Little girls Christmas gift.

Hi Everyone

This is a card that I made up at the same time as I made the Angel Kaela for the designed 2 delight challenge. I didn't want to waste a full piece of backiung paper so I printed one of my own digi stamps as well to see how well it made up. I must admit that I am more than happy with the final outcome. The original image has the little girl holding a flower but I wanted her to be more for Christmas even if I haven't used traditinal christmas colours. I think I pulled it off.

The digi stamp that I used to make this card is availalbe below as a freebie I hope that you enjoy using it as much as I did. All my digi stamps are had drawn and then scanned into the computer, You can find some of my digi stamps at crafts u print as well and the backing papers that I used for this card will also be on the site very shortly.

The digi stamp that I used to make this card is availalbe below as a freebie I hope that you enjoy using it as much as I did.



I also made up the rose for this card using the mini dot backing sheet and I think it's quite adorable.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed what you saw.

Angel 'Kaela'

Hi Everyone

Well it's last minute again just like me LOL. Every week I print out everything I need to make up Faiths fabulous designs the minute I get them and then life just seems to get in the way as it does. One of these days I will be organised! NO Never happen I'm affraid we can all wish.

Well this image is another of Faiths digi stamps from Designed2delight.com I must admit though I had to add a mouth as no mouth gives me kind of the wiggins. Although it would be nice if we could remove my teenage daughters from time to time.

I also wanted to colour it using a different technique so I printed the design on plain white card twice one for the base layer and one to colour in the face using promarkers, and I also printed it out on to a couple of backing papers that I made up and then paper pieced it all together. On the base layer (1 of the white printed images) I used a quickie glue pen on the wings, halo and stars and coloured in using glitter.

Over all I am really happy with how it tuned out. My final embelishment was making a poinsettia out of the matching paper and adding a sentiment. I also made the card a slightly unusual shape to add another dimention to the overall look.

Thanks for looking people and hope you like what you see.

Christmas In July

Hi Everyone

If you played along in last weeks challenge over at Designed to Delight you would have received this adorable "Heartfelt Wishes" digi stamp from Faith to celebrate Christmas in July! and as a prize for playing along. Christmas is my favorite holiday even if it get hectic and you end up biting your nails down to bloody stumps LOL. Joys of having children and everyone you know expecting a handmade card. Can't get away with buying shop bought anymore.

I didn't play along last week as I was busy with life you know how it is but I like the stamp so much I purchased her with the special voucher that faith sent out to all the followers of her blog for attaining 200 followers way to go Faith so he was free anyway. Thank you Faith you have enabled me to play along again.

I usually leave my Christmas cards to the last minute no matter how many times I tell myself each year that I 'm not going to do that, this year I will make so many every week, but no never happens. Faith deciding to use this little cutie has kicked me into starting my Christmas cards and this is the first of many. I will make so many every week from now on I will I will I will?

Well better get crafting and keep my promise.

Hugs to you all.
