Coloured with - Copics

DP - Bearly Mine Designer Vol III

Also used cuttlebug, cuttlebug ties, and a whispers marker for the faux stitching.

I feel I've been a bad blogger these last couple of weeks as we've had the tattie holidays and had so many things on, that I've just not been around as much as I would like, hopefully normal service will be resumed soon.

Anyway I'm looking forward to visiting all your blogs this week and seeing what creations you come up with

Manga Christmas

I thought as Stampin for the weekend doesn't resume normal service until next Friday, yes girls Friday 9th October, we are back with all guns blazing next Friday mark your calenders and diaries and be sure to join in again, it'll be great to see you all back taking part in the challenges, that I'd share this card with you,

It all came about after a visit to a friend whois also a crafter and she was having problems getting her measurements to work out, so all the way home in the car it was playing in the back of my mind, so that evening I put the boys to bed and this is what I came up with, worked it all out by myself, (never thought of actually looking on line for the measurements until hubby said why didn't you just search for it) ah well it worked and I had fun.

Used to make this card were

Card - Local Papermill factory outlet

DP - DCWV Christmas Wishes

Images - Manga Christmas characters from Sugar Nellie.

Coloured with -Promarkers

Also used, Cricut, Ribbon and Stickles.

Hope you like, I was rather chuffed with the finished card.

Friday already where has the time gone

Girls, I can't believe I've not blogged in over a week, oh me thats just not good enough, been hectic here, too many things going on and not enough time, not crafted much this week either.

Adam has just come back from his belt test at TaeKwanDo and has been promoted to 7th Kup, yellow belt with green stripe, he really enjoys it and seems to be quite good at it, so hopefully it's something he can keep up when he's solder.

Right off to colour in some images and try and put this card together.

Manga Christmas

The much eagerly awaitied Manga Christmas images are now available over at Funky Kits, go get them girls, I ordered mine this morning and they are already dispatched and winging their way towards me as I speak, thankfully no postal strike here in Scotland so hopeful they will be with me tomorrow.

Nothing much happening with us at the moment, Errol started painting our en suite so mayhem reigns again. LOL, but I know it'll be worth it in the end.
