Well done to all those Marathon Runners!!!
I feel incredibly privalaged to live 5 minutes walk from the midway point of The London Marathon. Each year we watch thousands of runners representing a range of charities and each year I still feel so overwhelmed. I would love to do it one day for a couple of charities close to my heart. I may start training now and do it by 2020. This year I saw the front runners live I have never seen them live before so that was really great.
I want to share this bag I have made for my eldest daughter she saw me making the one I showed you on here and wanted one. I used the stamp I will be releasing tomorrow at Gr8 Crafts 4 U called Pirate Lil Lily.
I printed it onto A4 paper and scaled it to fill the paper. I coloured in with some alcohol pens and then I photocopied it onto t-shirt transfer paper and then ironed onto the bag. I loved doing this as it meant that I could add shading to the image and it shows in the transfer. I made a matching bag charm with chain, beads and a charm.
I hope that you all have a great rest of weekend and I am entering this project into the following challenges:
Less is more - How Charming!

Lil Lilly Tote Bag and Matching card
Hi there well it has been thundering and lightning again here in London and the garden is looking so much healthier for it. I have been busy creating using a Digital stamp from Gr8 Crafts 4 U called Lil Lilly. I have made this matching Tote bag and card.
I coloured in Lil Lilly using a graphics program and added a matching background. I then printed it onto some transfer paper. I then ironed it onto the tote bag. I stitched on a ribbon and button to embellish.
I created a matching Lil Lilly decoupage sheet to decorate the card. The card base is from Crafty Emma's Store. I printed out some Shaped card bases from the My Craft Studio CD Quintessential garden and created a sentiment topper. I then added my decoupaged image. The roses are printed from a download from My Craft Studio.

Lil Lilly - Whatever
Hello I am just stopping by with a card made using my latest Digital stamp called Lil Lilly from my blogs store Gr8 Crafts 4 U .
I have a thing at the moment about Reds and Blues together so I have used this colour combination again. The papers are from some coordinating papers I made to go with Lil Lilly. I added a plaited embellishment and a floral bouquet to complete my cards. Lil Lilly is coloured with Spectrum Noirs and promarkers. I am liking Spectrum Noirs a lot more that I did at first so may need to invest in those in a few weeks time when I have a bit more money.

Zombie Pirate - New Delicious Doodles Image
Hi there well today I decided to have a play day after working this morning. Jimmy went to Neurology today and it looks like he will not get his driving license back anytime soon as he is still showing signs of Epilepsy. It puts a dampner on a few things as I don't think I will be able to get my job now as I will need to be around incase of an attack.
I wanted to share with you an new Delicious Doodles image called Zombie Pirate that will be on release in the SHOP tomorrow along with Steampunk Sally. I combined it with 3 other images Pirate Pete, Pirate ship Sihouette and skull and cross bones (2).
I made some backing papers from these images to co-ordinate with my card design. I coloured Zombie Pirate with promarkers and Flex markers and I stamped a sentiment from High Hopes.
Challenges I am entering are:
Macabre Monday Challenge - Pirates Booty

Lots of Layers....!!!
Hello everyone, Lots of layers hmmm with the temperature drop and all those clouds they are definately needed but it is also our theme over at the wonderful Delicious Doodles Challenge this week. I am off for a job interview for the first time in a long while for a job that will be for 25 hours a week so I am posting this before I forget as I get more nervous.
I have used two images from Teri's shop Butterfly Bliss and I made a frame using Pansy Corner. I printed the image using my laser printer and then foiled it in my foiling machine with a copper coloured foil. I hope you can appreciate the effect through the photo. I did this several times to create my own decoupage. I added a border and a sentiment using my quickie glue pen and my foils.

Things With Wings...
Hi there I have been busy today with Occupational Therapy for my daughter who has a hidden disability called Developmental Co-ordination Disorder which affects her ability in many ways. She was lucky enough to be picked for a research project so we spent over 5 hours today at her Occupational Therapy but hopefully we will get a better understanding of why she has this Specific Learning Disorder.
So here I am posting again. It is nice to be back a bit more and I have enjoyed getting into the swing of card making reguarly again. My girls loved this card when they saw it. They both want me to stamp up the bird for them to colour in. I have used another of the retired Greeting Farm images. I love these vintage birds and really enjoyed colouring it up. I used a topper,sentiment and one of the papers from from my new Rule Britannia digital craft kit which you can get Here!
I am entering the card into the challenge over at Crafty Bloggers Network Happy Bird Day. I am also entering Crafty Boots Challenge who want us to use Nautical or Red, White and Blue.

Rule Britannia
Good Afternoon from a very sunny London. The weather is gorgeous again very spring like. We have attended two services at Church today on Palm Sunday and managed a walk in the park too.
I am going to show you a card made using a new digital craft kit from my shop called Rule Britannia. It is inspired by two events happening here in the UK this year The Diamond Jubilee and London 2012.
It is also great for all occassion cards as the Red, White and Blue theme is so great for lots of occassions and Male and Female cards.
I made this card for the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Challenge who this week have a theme of Anything Goes!!! I used the gorgeous limited edition stamp from The Greeting Farm. I love their range of stamps and it has been a while since I coloured any up. I used promarkers to colour her in everything else on the card is from the Digital Craft kit from Gr8 Crafts 4 u. I will show you some more cards I have made with the kit during the week. I had a ball playing with this kit and still have lots of ideas of what I want to do with it.

Touchy Feely at Delicious Doodles Challenge
Afternoon everyone a bit chilly out there today, just in time for the kids Easter break the weather is going to get colder....mmmm!!!
I am showing you my latest creation for the brilliant Delicious Doodles Challenge. This week we are all about texture. We would love to see lots of touchy feely bits on your creations.
I love Teri's Emo images so I used Emo Valentine Fairy for my bookmark that I have made for the challenge. I coloured the image with prismacolour pencils and I created a bookmark using cardstock and Basic Grey papers. I then stuck the image on with foam pads and added some feathers to the skirt of the image.
The bookmark has already been claimed by 12 year old daughter. I think if I was 12 I would love a bookmark like this too.
I hope you like it. Please go grab my freebies on this page on the post below and over at Gr8 Crafts 4 U great for all your spring cards.

My very good friend Amy has set up a blog dedicated to promarkers and fleximarkers. It is a very special blog as it acts as a reference blog so you can see which colours to use when you wish to blend colours to create different effects. The blog is called For the Love of Letraset.
I was very excited to be invited to contribute to the blog and if you love Promarkers and Fleximarkers as much as we do you can hop over and contact Amy and contribute to the blog too.
I have made a card for the Secret Crafters Challenge they want to see shabby chic. I chose to make a male card with a sepia toned image called Zooming Along from Lily of the Valley. I used three promarkers Tan, Blush and Cocoa to colour the image. The papers are from a free Websters pages pad with Simply Papercrafts and cards magazine. I then distressed this with acrylic paint and added some promarker to create a really distressed look. I used some craft card with a nellie snellen die and I added some raffia and a button. The sentiment is from a Basic grey kit and I added promarker pen to so it blended with my design.

Delicious Doodles - The Wonder of Life
Good Morning time for another challenge over at the fantastic Delicious Doodles challenge. We have a great Spring Theme " The Wonder of Life". This week Teri released this gorgeous image called " A Mothers Love" so I decided to make this shabby chic baby card. I used some papers I designed a while ago that came from my scrap box. I coloured the image with promarkers. I added some spellbinder dies and a bit of lace and some rosebuds. I distressed with some tattered rose distress ink and I put some PVA glue under this and then distressed over it.
I hope that you can join in the fun.

Hello everyone I have been playing today for Mothers Day with a Digital craft kit from my shop Gr8 Crafts 4 U. I used the gorgeous digital kit called Birds of a Feather to create 3 unique gifts for my Mum. I love this kit. The colours are so relaxing and tranquil. I love the sentiments too they really sum up what a Mother is.
I cropped the images on my graphics program. I then enlarged them to fit a sheet of A4 paper. I printed them out and transfered them onto an apron, shopping bag and drawstring bag. As you can see they match the card I posted in my last post. I love the uniqueness of presents like these they make it so much more personal.
I hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine. I have been working grrr!!! I stepped out for a little while though. I have just received some equipment I chose with my grant money today so I am looking forward to the weekend and unpacking it all.
Enjoy the rest of this lovely day xxx Here are some pictures for you!

A couple of Mothers Day cards and new release
Hello everyone I hope you are all well. I have been busy designing lots of craft kits so keep looking in to see what I have come up with. I want to show you some samples I have made using the Birds of Feather Digital craft kit and I am introducing you to a new kit called Cupcakes Bright. If you visit Gr8 Crafts 4 U you can buy both kits.
So firstly here are two cards that I made using the Birds of a Feather kit they are loosely themed around Mother's Day but could be used on any occasion for a variety of people. These cards are both made using the card design sheets that are available in the digital kit and simply mean that you print off one sheet of paper and get a beautiful card.

This next card is from the newly released digital craft kit called "Cupcake Brights" which is available to buy HERE.
This kit is refreshingly bright for the spring and great for all occassions. I used the decoupage sheet that comes with this kit and one of the lovely design papers to co-ordinate. I have not used all the layers on the decoupage sheet and I had enough left over to make at least two more cards.
Please pop over to the Digital Craft Kit page to find out all the details about the kits and to purchase them. They are great value for money as once you have brought them you can print them again and again. Also I would love to know what you think of them so leave me a comment xx

Gr8 Crafts 4 U
Hi everyone hope you are all well. I have been busy with lots of different things work related, birthdays= organisation. My youngest daughter was 7 on Tuesday and is having a party with some school friends on Saturday which also happens to be my youngest sons birthday. I have also been doing bits and pieces to build up the new business. This includes designing some digital craft kits. So today I would like to share with you the first Digital Craft kit from Gr8 Crafts 4 U.
This kit is called Birds of a Feather and it is made up of 4 design papers and two card sheets that can either be used as Decoupage or to make several cards. They can also be used in home decor and on gift projects. You can find the kit Birds of A Feather here.
I will be shortly looking for a Design Team so keep your eyes peeled for information on that. I would love to know what you think of the designs. I hope to post a card over the weekend to show you what i looks like made up.

Hi Everyone I have hope you are all having a great weekend! I went to Sussex yesterday to watch my sister try on wedding dresses. I could watch people do this all day long xx She looked amazing in the dresses and there was one that had the WOW factor. I hope she chooses it.
I am just stopping by to tell you about a great workshop that is being held in a couple of weeks. The workshop is in a stunning location in a very creative cafe that overlooks the Olympic park in London. I am running the workshop for a company called Nomadic Crafts.

You will also get a goody bag to take home with you so you can make another ring at home ( instructions will be provided). The workshop is on March 22nd from 6.30pm-8.30pm.
