Pretty shade

Good morning all. Hope you are well. Today's post is a little altered lampshade for a change. 

Mum has just had her bedroom redecorated in pretty blues and so wanted this plain black lampshade to look a bit prettier. 

She didn't have any matching wallpaper left so I chose a paper that would tone in with her room. The paper is from the vintage notes collection and I used parts of 2, 12 x 12 sheets. I cut these to size and stuck them down with cosmic shimmer glue. 

Then I added some pale blue ribbon over the seams and attached this with the hot glue gun. 

I could have left it there but of course it wasn't quite enough for me so I got the lace out too. 

I added lace to the top and bottom, again with the hot glue gun. And then to finish it off I added some small clear gem strips down each piece of ribbon. 

It looks lovely at the side of Mum's bed.

Hope you like it. See you soon. 

Take care.

Colour me.........

...........wonderful!

That's the name of this fabulous SC digi we purchased recently.  Yes, we have spent rather a lot on digi stamps of late and we really need to calm down a bit, BUT I can't see it happening :-) Lol!

Her hair didn't turn out as nicely as I wanted but I was happy with the rest so she's ended up on a little card.  There is no sentiment as then it can be used for any occasion.

The papers are more of the midnight blush collection I used last week for Mum's birthday.  I never throw the scraps away as you never know when they may be useful ;)

Hope you like her.  TTFN Jude xx

Me to You card

Good morning all. Today's card was a very simple one to put together. 

I used a ready made Me to You topper and stuck it on to a die cut Lacey Circle. 

The paper is from the stash and all matted with Coredinations card stock. 

I used a 7x5 card blank and then created a sentiment banner on the computer. I stuck this across the middle of the card at an angle. 

Then I added a stick on 6 at the top and I finished it off with a few cupcake stickers piled up in the bottom corner. 

Like I said really simple today but hope you still like it. 

Take care and I'll see you soon.

Lily May

This is the last of the cards for Lily's birthday last weekend.

The image is a Time for Tea design and I'm really pleased with the shading on this one.  I can see improvement in my colouring, but still a ways to go yet.

This is a die we received as a freebie a while ago.  It is quite versatile and it certainly gets put to use a lot. 

So there she is.  A pretty card for a pretty girl.

Mamma

Good morning all, today's card is one I made for my son and his girlfriend to send to Mum on her birthday last week.

I used a Magnolia Tilda stamp that I haven't used before. She is so cute lol.

I coloured her with Promarkers and then cut her out by hand.

The papers are from an old pad, I think called dreamcatcher. I layered them all with pink and purple Coredinations card.

I added a lilac ribbon and little tree charm, and then finished it off with some tiny stickers to spell Mamma. (Which is what my kids have always called Mum).

Hope you like it. 

See you soon, take care.

Hula Hoop Love

Happy Sunday everyone.

Yesterday we took a run to the coast to celebrate Lily's 6th birthday.  We had a lovely day even though the weather wasn't the best, but at least it didn't rain!

This is the card I made for her Uncle John to send.  The image is Hula Hoop Love from Saturated Canary (again!)

[Excuse the rubbish picture!]

I received some vellum pennants and matching papers on my Quick Cards Made Easy magazine last month, and used these for the card.

I used an adhesive number and cut 'Today' with a die.

A quick and easy card to put together.

Love U Lily May

Good morning. Hope you have all had a good week and are enjoying your weekend so far. Today is my grand daughters 6th birthday. So today's post is one of the cards I made for her. 

I used the LaLa Land digi stamp called cheeky monkey. This is one of my first LaLa Land stamps and I love them, so will definitely be getting some more. 

I coloured it with promarkers and then cut her out by hand. Then I 'sat' her on a fancy shaped piece of card.

The papers are old ones from the stash, and I added them to an 8 x 8 card base with a piece of dark brown card stock.

I cut the love sentiment with a Paper Smooches die and then added a cardboard stick-on U underneath.

I finished the card with a stick-on number 6 and lots of pretty flowers.

Hope you like it. See you soon, take care.
