Starting Over at the Crafty Little Fairies!

We have a new challenge starting today over at the Crafty Little Fairies and this week we are 'Starting Over'. So, we would like to see cards celebrating something new - new house/job/ baby. I saw these papers (Nitwit Hollow Collection) over at Nitwit Collections and thought I'd try a new colour combo. This was a super idea until my lightest blue pen ran out. It's going to be a trip to Cult Pens - but I'll be good. Ish!!!

I had forgotten to make a card for this challenge so it was a bit of a rush and then when I went to post it I realised this wasn't my teams week! Duh!!! I really have to get my head together. I had a go on my daughter's 'Brain Training' game on the DS and found that my brain was in its 80s! The cheek of it.

The image is from a Polkadoodles 'Pen and Circle' magazine. It came with all kinds of stamps to build a scene and I must give that a go.

 We are pleased to be supported by this week's sponsor who is

The ladies from Deamees are on Create and Craft twice tomorrow :D The first show is at 8 am - I can't believe how well they're doing, I'm super chuffed for them :D Tune in if you can, the shows are always fabulous and full of great demos.

My cherubs are getting restless so I must go! I hope that you can join us this week. Biggest of hugs, Jayne xx

New Home!

This is one of the cards I had been commissioned to do - it's taken me three weeks to get around to it! I'm still under the weather and it feels like I'm wading through sludge every day! Anyhoo, 'tis done and I'm super glad!

 The stamp is from a Polkadoodles Pen and Circle Magazine and Stamp set, which has turned out to be jolly useful. I've coloured with my trusty copics (man, I'm rusty with the old pens at the mo!). The papers are Wild Rose Studio 'Love Letters'. The pretty border is the Memory Box spring border die; I sure am glad I invested in this one, it's been one of my best crafty buys. Just to be nosy, what do you consider to be your best crafty buy of recent times? The flowers and ribbon are from WOC.

Now, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have run out of lilac and pink ribbon and am low on flowers and have totally run out of rose buds. I know, what a trauma! I have also run out funds :(  The question is, will you still visit me when my cards feature one flower and no ribbon? I can hardly bring myself to think of it!

Super hugs to all, Jayne xxx

I definitely am Without Words!

Oh dear. This is my first attempt at CAS. The way I'm feeling now, it might be my last! It's probably good in this type of situation to try to find something positive to take away from the experience. So with that in mind, I am happy to report that if I try another CAS, it can only be an improvement!!!!

So, for the first 'Without Words' Challenge I am entering this:

The image is a digi stamp on the fabulous Polkadoodles 'SugarPlum Daisy' CD. I coloured it with copics whilst watching the Grand Prix. Poor Lewis.

I'm off for a lie down in a darkened room. Hugs, Jayne xx

Without Words - Autumn Challenge

Polkadoodle-tastic!!

How cute is this house image? Well, I think it's super cute. It came with a Polkadoodle pen and paper circle magazine I bought a few months ago and this is it's first taste of ink!! A colleague of my husband's asked me to make a 'New Home' card and I was a bit stumped until I remembered this little stamp :)

With my little girl not yet back at school, this was made in a bit of a hurry so I'm hazy on the detail! The beautiful papers are from a freebie pack (Prima) from Simply Cards and Papercraft. The sentiment is from LOTV and the dies are Magnolia DooHickeys.

I'm now way behind with everything, but, hopefully, when school starts again on Wednesday I'll be back on track in no time.

A huge thank you for all your comments on the crazy tut! A gold star to Sheenie forum member Jane who has made at least 3 stars already.  Well done that lady!!

Big hugs, Jayne xx
