dotties world


Here is my entry this week for Dotties World which I did find quite hard to complete as the theme is all handmade no papers or embellishments etc, but this is what I came up with using my little bits of scrap paper. The blossom on the tree is little bits of mulberry paper, I cut the tree myself out of some scrap.I cut the bottom off the wheelbarrow by accident so added some wire instead hope this counts. I am disappointed with the bees though think they look stupid but oh well I simply can't draw and thats it!
Hope you like I have done this card for my bil's birthday in May so I am way ahead of myself at the moment.

Soldier boy


Just received this picture from my eldest son Daniel who has joined the army, he left on Sunday, he is based in Basingbourne for 7 weeks training first then has a week off then goes to a different base. Daniel will be 21 in September!
love you Daniel
Mum xx
If anybody knows of any soldier stamps could they let me know I know there is a greeting farm set at dies to die for but not of any others I would like to design a stationary set so that he can write to people I appreciate any help.
hugs Tracy x

magnolia vs stampavie challenge 21

Well I was very honoured yesterday I got chance to play in my sisters new craft room even before she did, how lucky was I. It is absolutely stunning and I am very jealous it means she never has to tidy away lol!
Anyway I managed to come up with this card which I adore it all came together at the last moment i am sure you know what i mean, I found some really nice flowery striped paper to go underneath the image but I have lost most of it because I have covered it never mind.
this is my entry for the magnolia vs stampavie challenge which is a gorgeous layout!

Gorjuss


Here is my entry this week for sketch saturday I have inked up my new gorjuss girl I think it is missing a little bit of something but I have decided to go with what I have done!
I used the flower off some giftwrap that I had saved this week so I have done my little bit of recycling for the week lol.
I have used some pretty little papers that I recently won as some giveaways thanks Steph, martha stewart punch, new nesties and the rest of the embellishments are from stash.
I have my sister laws birthday coming up in may so this will do very nicely.
I am off to see my sister Debra tomorrow I can't wait as she has nearly finished furnishing it after numerous trips to Ikea and things off ebay can't wait to play! check out her blog

Easter


I have absolutley loved doing this challenge this week and have managed to cover three challenges which are:
Penny black - easter theme
Simon says stamp - yellow and green
Charisma cards -the layout
I have used my cuttle bug folder, flowers are from poppicrafts and prima, brads, doodlebug paper, bazzill, and my lovely new stamp from the Nec Birmingham show!
I have used my promarkers to colour in the image, some glitter on the cow though it doesn't really show up and I have used liquid applique on my sheep.
Hope you like have a good day :)
