Shades of Lilac...

Good afternoon from sunny Blackpool :)

 

Well I awoke this morning with all the good intentions of starting my Christmas cards....It was dark and miserable outside so it seemed an appropriate day to start...but then the sun came out !!!

 

I have chose an LOTV image again today, I just adore all the little fairies in their range, they are just too cute.

 

I couldn't quite decide what I wanted to do so I went through my huge stack of papers first and the lilac shades jumped out at me (isn't it odd how you have different colour days) 

 

So here she is in all her gorgeous twinkliness.

 

 

I have used some of the Stampendous Frantage on the topper in shabby white to give it a more distressed look.

 

 

Finally lots of glitter added to the flowers for a gorgeous sparkley finish.

 

 

Looks like my Crimbo cards will have to wait for another day.

 

Thanks for popping in.

 

Love Karen.

 

 

 

 

 

LOTV Fairy

Hello again my lovelies

 

 

Just recently I discovered Lili of the Valley art pads and although there is nothing more than I love to do than sit down with an image and my alcohol markers, sometimes there just isn't enough time.

 

These art pads are a god send for such occasions when time is short and there are also a number of pads covering a multitude of occasions.

 

Today I chose an image from one of their fairy pads. She is such a cute little thing with her weeny boppers and fairy wand....

Santoros Gorjuss.....

 

 

Good afternoon my lovelies.

 

Well what a miserable day we're having here in the UK today, but what better way to listen to the thunder and rain against the window than with some crafting.

 

Today I decided on quite a dark colour to reflect what's going on outside but who can resist the totally cute Santoros Gorjuss.

Confused ????

So I am fairly confused right now and you're all probably shaking your heads in disbelief at how dumb one person can be....I think I have techno overload and nothing is entering this empty void I call a brain.  Anyway for now here is a pic of my recently painted little space I love to be in,  my craft space, where everything can be anything I want it to be....

Too pink ??? Naaaaaaaaaaa, nothing is ever too pink.

Hello

Good morning crafty world and crafty friends.  Well this is my first ever blog (scary!!!), and I haven't a clue what I'm doing really.  I will probably be making a right pigs ear of it all to be honest but I am hoping you will all bear with me and feel free to jump in with any hints, tips or help you may have to offer (keep it simple please) haha.  I shall upload a few photos of my cards later and hopefully spend the day learning more about blog land !!! Love to you all, Karen.
