Hi Everyone,  I'm so sorry for my sabbatical from the crafting world, I've had some personal stuff going on that I have been dealing with. I have a few videos and cards made that I'm hoping will give me the push I need to get back up and running.  Today I have used an image from Meljens over at Whimsy Stamps Digital Collection called Love Bug, a super cute image that can be used on various cards. As you can see on my card instead of going with the tradition Valentines card, I went with a Retirement Card and made it out all manly.  I began by printing the image onto Km ..read more

Good Morning Everyone  Today I have a card to share with you that I created in honour of a little girl with Type 2 Diabetes.  I have used a stamp from Club La La Land Crafts December 2019 Kit, this stamp is now available to purchase on it's own and Digital Version so I will link those up for you. I actually used the Digital Version only because I had some already printed out (there was a manufacturing fault in my original rubber so I purchased the Digital whilst I was waiting for my replacement stamp to be sent out). I now own the rubber version also.  The image was pr ..read more

Good Morning Everyone,  Sorry I'm late in posting this week.  Today I am sharing with you Get My Monkeys from Whimsy Stamps. For something different I have coloured him up using Graphic Markers from Kmart Anko Collection. I printed the image onto X-Press It Blending Card so I had the same effect as Copic Markers. They are very similar to Copic Markers in that you still blend them much the same however they have more of a bullet type end a bit wider then the Copic Markers,  I have a list of all the Graphic Markers at the end of this post if you are interested, includ ..read more
