Cricut Wild card, Mini monogram, Rock Princess, Embossing folder, bling, shimmy paper.  SU dp paper, cardstock  and dazzaling dimonds was added to the number 18.

I have decide this card match the criteria for the http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/2011/07/sketch-week-challenge-22.html. This card was aslo used earlier on My Craft Spot challenge last month.

Another birthday card with a twist, lol wanted to really personalise it.  Cricut Birthday Bash, Wildcard cartridges.  SU cardstock,  ds paper, inks, stamps, Hero Art stamp.   Embossing was used on some of the lettering.  Glitter used in the mouth.

Just a quick little card/note 3" x 3".  The butterfly was embossed with the SU folder, brad, and ribbon.
Butterfly, stamps and most of the inks are SU.

Made this card for my dad.  Used Cricut Pagoda and Storybook cartridges.  SU punch, stamp and ds paper.  Glimmer mist was used on the dragon to give it some shimmy.

Cricut Dude!, Birthday Bash and have to apologise for not remembering what cartridge I used for the lettering.  SU cardstock and ribbon and various paper.  Embossing folder was use to give the name some dimension

I use Glimmer mist over the whole picture once I finished colouring with the copic pens. 

First time effort in making a spinner card.  Using the Cricut Mini monograms, Birthday Bash and Cindyloo cartridges.  SU  stamps, ink pad, cardstock and ds paper.  Lol when you've glue the image make sure u don't do what I did. try and move the image, cause you end up pulling the cotton lose.

Here's a fairy drawn freehand.  Unfortunately the outline was drawn with Staedtler fineline and wasn't a permanent maker so u can see a little bleedind around some of the edges.  I basically use the pens as I would with acyriclic paints, light to dark and then used the lightest colour to blend the colours back in. 

Well here's my first time effort with Copic pens.   Lol I've gone and use the pens like I would use paints.  Will have to do some more practicing I think.  Here's to many more hours of fun...

What to make for a boy whose turning 14???  Here's what I've come up with, something simple and not too fussy I hope.  Cricut Dude!, Plantin cartridges, Spellbinders nestabilities, SU stamps and ink.  I used 3-d foam adhesive to make the sk8boarder pop out.

This cute card was made with SU watercolour crayons, glitter and Spellbinders nestabilities. 

Some very special pens arrived for me to play with...  Now to put them to put them to good use..

Happy Mother's day card

This A4 size card was made for a good friend who wanted a special card for his mum on Mother's  Day this Sunday.
  I used many different techniques, embossing, a little decoupage, water colouring, dimensional glue was use to name a few.
I use the Cricut  Blackletter, Sentimentals, Elegant Cakes to cut out the frame, stem of the flowers and the initials.  SU stamps and Autumn Leaves stamps were also use.
Glimmer mist was used to cover the card, intials and some of the flowers. Fine glitter,  bling and pearls to highlight certain bits.  Brads and ribbon was also used.
 Inside the card I used the Cricut Blackletter cartridge to cut out Happy Mother's Day.
Found a lovely poem to finish the card off.
