Thanks lil monster

Good afternoon crafty friends I hope your weekend is going well. We have had so much rain over the past few days roads are being closed off and some people are getting evacuated just up the road from me, I hope you all stay safe.

I made this card today as I need a girly thank you card but wanted a monster on there so this is what I came up with.

I am going to enter this into the:
 simon says stamp challenge-have a heart.
paper smooches sparks challenge-anything goes

I'm still trying to get blogger sorted but having no luck so I may even have to start a new blog :( but thank you all for hanging in there with me I just don't know why it wont publish my posts.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great weekend and keep safe,

Vic

Many thanks

Hello lovelies I hope your week is going well. It has got really cold again booo! I hope your all keeping warm. Well that's January nearly done where did that month go?  It is actually scary how fast the days are going already. I'm hoping we will start to get sunnier days near spring, we have had so much rain here in the UK and my heart goes out to all the people who have lost their homes through the flooding. Its so sad. Lets hope things get better for everyone.


So I have just finished this card which I have made for a couple of challenges:

sassy studio designs
crafty little fairies-lavender and lace
sweet stampin-in stitches
the ribbon girl-anything goes

I hand stitched the card front, and added my stamped image along with buttons and flowers. I used my pro markers to colour her in and added a double ribbon bow with twine to finish the card off. I also used my polka-dot embossing folder to add some texture. 

Well I hope you all have a lovely week and I am still trying to sort blogger out but thank you all for hanging in there with me. 

Thanks for popping by,

Vic 

Welcome dude

Hello friends, how is your week going? I hope you are all keeping well. So I have tried to figure out the problems with my blog and posting and no luck :( I am going to try and figure it out over the next few weeks so hopefully you will be able to see my blog when I publish something. I was actually really surprised that you cannot contact Google about the issues which is so frustrating and strange the only advice there is and that is on a forum. Whinging over ha ha!

Anyway onto my card, I made this for the simon says stamp wednesday challenge. The bunny is from cosmo cricket and the stamps are by paper smooches. I had to add some hand stitching of course :)

I hope you like it, I have made lots of other cards recently so I will post them up soon.

Thank you so much for popping by if you have any questions please ask me :)

I hope you all have a lovely week and a great weekend, see you soon.

Two mice & a snail

Hello crafty friends can you believe we are nearly in October already? Where did September go?

I'm away this week but i thought I would share a card I made recently using penny black stamps, I have seriously fallen in love with the stamps and they are so cute to colour too!

I used my aqua markers to colour these in, and added a bit of washi tape and a button.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I will be back soon :)

Have a lovely week

This card took a long time to make as I got extremely carried away with my hand stitching and flowers he he.

 

I wanted to make a card that would suit different occasions get well/sympathy, as I never seem to have a card on hand when needed. Well I probably do but most of my cards seems to hide when I need them, or maybe I just need to get more organised :)  

 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a fantastic week.
