Forgetful

I made a birthday card for my friend Shaz, who just adores elephants and I forgot to scan it! So, I have made another which is very similar. The stamp is one of the new ones by Rachelle Ann Ward that a friend kindly lent me and I love it. It's stamped on to water coloured paper and coloured with ws wax pastels.
I had a fab time at the Oxford meet with some friends from CSF and ordered loads of stampin Up stuff which arrived last Friday
I have aquired some extra crafting space thanks to DS leaving home last week, I have been so busy with sorting him out and clearing his room Ive not had time to craft. now I need to re - organise myself and get busy creating! Thanks for looking xx

Couple of cards

Here are a couple of birthday cards I made for forum friends who have received them now. The rose is by Elusive Images and stamped on to shrink plastic, this was my first time using it and it was easier than I thought, I dont know why I put it off for so long!

The little puppy was coloured with my wax ws crayons. I used my my new Nestabilities to cut out the scalloped circles and I love them - haven't worked out how to emboss with them yet - but watch this space! The corners were are my Cuttlebug dies and the card was - Stampin up whisper white and bashful blue and Bazill basics, brown. thanks for looking xx

Dog

I'm early this week with my Sunday Stampers challenge set by Hels and the theme is 'Dog'! The dog only stamp I have is this one which is odd seeing as I'm such a huge dog lover! It's by Anita's and it came from QVC in my early crafting days. The card ( apart from the brown which is Bazil ) arrived from US today and I couldn't wait to use it is by Core'dinations and the colours are fantastic I got 80 A/4 sheets - the postage made them pricey but I got a set of free stamps from Sweet and Sassy as well. I cut them out using my new Cricut Accents Esentials - cartridge and coloured the image with my WS wax crayons Hope you like it thanks for looking xx
