Yep.... cant stay away from them, lol.... or my love of  Tilda.   Thought I would have another bash at trying out pleats... have to say, I am rather pleased with my efforts this time. :) whether I will manage to get them nearly right again, is anyones guess LOL. 


However, it does look like she been for a spray tan !!.. went a tad heavy handed with the make up lol.. I have a feeling I picked up the wrong E number :( opps.  oh well... looks a bit like Dale Winton, but never mind  (not quite as bad in real life).. the face that is, not Dale lol. 

Copics used... E11,01, (although thats a bit debateable lol) E13, E00, E000, R21
Hair E13,15,17,18,19

Another baby card


 
Baby card for daughters HO, she takes some up to be sold now and again, and decoupage can be done so much quicker than me colouring up an image !... 

Have to admit this is one of my favourite baby designs.,, and yes it comes in both flavours lol.
 

Still finding anything but a square card strange now, yet used to make this size all the time. 

Papers are from stash, computer generated sentiment, .  Not much I can say really... as for the Stork, had that image for as long as I can remember.

Have to admit, I dont find making deco cards half as exciting as colouring up an image etc, but, sometimes needs must,  Will be back tomorrow with a coloured image and card :)... and I am now back off to the craft room to play some more... yep you got it.. with my copics... the images are beginning to pile up... but not so much card making going on lol.... as for inserts... I wont swear LOL...  but I feel I will need a do to do those too soon... oooh sooo boring that bit.

Hope that all the snow has disappeared now, and everyone is keeping safe and warm.

hugs J xx

wedding card.


Just made this one, for the box, as they say. Had the image coloured up for ages, just didnt know what to do with it. Then decided to sort some of my stash out... and opps had totally forgotten I had this butterfly die, so that sort of put the theme there for me,  cut from parchment, with pearls added, managed to find some butterfly paper as well... and there you have it... card sorted.. ish :)


Copics used. (not many) lol... 

Magnolia image
C1,2,3,5,7,9,
B0000, 00, 01 ,02, 05

Right time to brave the cold outside... and walk the mutt.... will be back with you all shortly.

Black and White.


 
Good Morning all, I do hope that you are all staying warm and safe.  My goodness we have had some snow.  As pretty as it is, it does bring everything to a bit of a standstill.  However, on a good note, it means I get to play more in my craft room. :)
 
Todays card, is as per... toot on the photography, I was sick and tired of trying to NOT get the silvery throw back on the skirt and legs, looks like she got cellulite LOL,  yep you all going to be looking more closely now, aren't you ! lol
 

However, after practically losing the will to live on this one, I have posted as is..

Again, another card, with blokes in mind, good ole KennyK,, come up trumps again, for the image, papers are from stash, I THINK, both the checks they maybe old Joanna Sheen papers, but I cannot be sure. and the grey... was from a cd... again at bottom of box, as it wasnt meant to be this colour roflmao... someone had forgotton to turn the colour back on, on the printer... but I kept it anyways, just incase, ! (hate waste).... so please I did now, as went brill with this. 

Copics used, pretty much my fav for hair and skin.
E01, E11, E13 and R20 skin
E11, E13, E15, E17, E18 E 19 hair
clothes... what there is of them ! :)   C9, C7, C5, C3 and C1. 

the peg was blackened with copics :), and blowed if I can remember when  I got the ticket stamp from lol... well I had to fail on something, or it wouldnt be me :).

Have a safe day... take care and will be back tomorrow :) hugs Jackie xx

Yep, back again..


 
Must be the snow... lol... but back again today with another recently made card,. 
 
This image  is from The Clipart Fairy, so not a copic in sight this time.  I was asked to make some large baby cards, for an office, so this was ideal, as managed to get it on an 8 x 8" , knew I would struggle with colouring up a larger image and filling in the spaces, lol  for that,. so cheated, yep, I still think if I have printed out a coloured digi, I have cheated. ¬!

Please go over and check out the store, as there are some fantastic images there... get your pennies at the ready... as you will fall in love with so many of them.


There is some decoupage going on, honest, but as per, my photography is not showing it up,   This card didn't even manage to make it as far as the 'box' lol...  Papers are by Bearly Mine Designs    Ginghams and microdots.  Sentiment computer generated.


I hope everyone is managing to keep warm and safe.... seems like most if not all of the country is now covered in the white stuff.   take care and will be back either later today with a copic coloured card, if not, tomorrow :)... yes, I have been busy... have  a few all ready to show... get me ah !! :)  and on that note, back to the craft room..   have a good day all... love and hugs  J xxx

Wayhey...

 
 
Thought it was about time, I pulled my finger out and started adding some of the cards I have been  making of late... especially as  I am now OFFICIALLY, back on the Design Team at Bearly Mine Challenges for the foreseeable future :)  Thank you Donna for asking me back as a permanent part of the Team... well happy I am. :).
 
So I thought best that I started to get my blog back up and running.. and not just add the one a fortnight card LOL.. it is purely laziness I have to say. (with a bit of forgetfulness to boot).... 

So here we go then.. lets see how long I can keep going before I slide back into bad habits LOL 
 

 
 Image by KennyK, papers from stash, 
Copic. Hair E11,13,15,17,18, 19
skin E01, 11, 13, R20
R20, 21, 22,24,27,29
C9,7,5,3,2,1,
 
Nowt too fancy on this, as made it as a male card. and I have to say, Kenny K has some fab images just right for the job.
 
right offski to craft room now.. and play with some pretty things.. :) hope you are all staying safe and warm. and if venturing out, please be careful.   love and hugs. Jackie x
