Memory Box
During yesterdays bank holiday I decided to turn this box.....
It's the first time I have altered something quite so big. It was a lot of space to fill! This is for a friend who recently retired. She told me that she would love to have a memory box for all her bits and bobs. I hope she likes it. I certainly enjoyed making it and I'm going to be trying different variations like a sewing box and a baby box. So keep your eye out for those.
I am entering this weeks challenge over on Cupcake 'alter it'.

thank you for a special friend
I can't believe it's back to using the light box already. I really do prefer to take my pics outside but by the time I get home from work and make my card it's far too dull, and it's still only August!
Anyway this creation is for two challenges....
Lili of the Valley....thank you
Stamp Something.....to say thank you
The sentiments and paper are from Craftwork Cards, the image is Lili of the Valley and the cool ribbon is from Sew Sweet.

lovey dovey happy birthday
So tonight I was determined. With the stitching done I picked up my image to attach to the card and....tomato soup! Don't ask. Anyway this time all was not lost, a carefully placed sentiment saved the day.
The image is a Teddy BoBea and I coloured with promarkers/copics. The papers are 'bubblegum hills' by Kaisercraft and the gorgeous felt that I used to make the flowers is from Sew Sweet.
I am entering three challenges....
TeddyBo....love is in the air
Cupcake....a fabby sketch
A Spoon Full of Sugar...happy birthday

a dream is a wish
It's just as well the cottage is like a home from home! I take some stamps and do some colouring but there is no internet connection whatsoever so I am looking forward to catching up with you all and your crafty makes. Oh, and a big wave hello to my new followers. I'm always chuffed to bits when I see the numbers grow.
So to get me back in the swing of things, and before I launch myself into my next magazine commission, I thought I would do a card for this weeks Less is More challenge 'use ink'.
I have used four inks. Two distress inks, tattered rose and bundled sage, for the script background spritzed with a little water. The dandelion clock was stamped with rich cocoa Memento ink and the little spindly things were onyx black Versafine.
The sentiment was also stamped with rich cocoa but stamped first on a piece of scrap. The script stamp is by Kaisercraft and all others are Marion Emberson Designs.

Look there's me and my article about Sakura Pens. I got to play with gelly pens, souffle pens, silver calligraphy pens and a marbling kit. You will need to buy the mag' to have a nosey at what I came up with and at the risk of blowing my own trumpet I think you will be pretty impressed!
