Little Village Church

At long last I've managed to find my computer after moving house! I'm 'boxed' in a little corner in my new craft room with this

 as the view over my shoulder at the moment though!! 

The 'last' lot of units arrived on Friday ...and Really Useful Boxes...and they now need building and filling!! Tough job I know...can't wait...it's going to be sooooo yummy in here when it's done :) 

Anyway....

This is a card made with the stamped image of 'Little Village Church' by Just Inklined and available HERE from LaPashe

I've stamped in linen and coloured with Copics. 

I also decorated a candle using the same image. 

 Hope you're all having a fab Bank Holiday weekend if you're in the UK xx

Just for You....

Hello!!!
Another week has flown by....and another very chilly one at that!! Forget white Christmas...I think we have a far greater chance of a white Easter!!
Well...looking a tiny bit more Spring like - I made this twisted easel card using one of the gorgeous new clear stamps from Just Inklined. This is... Just for You - boy ...available Here 
Wishing you all a lovely week ...take care out there xx

Just Inklined To Hop!!

Morning :)

It's the first Monday of the month, so it's Just Inklined blog hop day!! It's the fourth one this year, which means there are only another 8 to go before Christmas!!! Eeek!! Now there's a scary thought!! lol

Anyway, here we are in April and our theme this month has been set by Jeni, (which is where the hop starts) and it's 'Bring in Spring' ...so anything with a touch of Spring to it is good :)

I've gone a bit mad and made a 'Spring' card...quite literally...and used the gorgeous 'We're Hungry' image available from La Pashe. It's been coloured using my trusty Copics.

I just know that the girls will 'WoW' you with their creations so be sure not to miss any x

If you arrived here from the lovely Heidy's blog ... then you're on the right track, and you can hop off on your way to the wonderful Joyce and see what fabulous spring thing she has to show you xx Thanks for stopping by, and if you get lost, here is the direction to hop in...have fun!! x

Jeni, Jak, Debbie, Toni, Meesh, Karen, Cathy, Heidy, Lydia - You are HERE! :) Joyce

Flower Cross

It's hard to believe that we are heading towards Easter at an alarming speed...especially as Christmas was only a few weeks ago!! Wasn't it??? *.*

I have a few Easter cards to make, and as I have quite a few...ok...HEAPS of family birthdays in the next month too I thought I'd better get a move on!! I have used the gorgeous Flower cross by Just Inklined for this card...and coloured it with copics x

Mother's Day

Yay!! Go me!!! I'm actually ahead on ONE card!! :0) For those of you who know me well, April and May are completely mad months for family and friend birthdays...then of course there's Easter and Mother's Day too!!!

This is my Mum's Mother's Day card...it's ok...she doesn't 'do' computers so won't see it :) x

I have used the lovely Just Inklined Baking Shelf 2 image ... available from La Pashe.

Hope you have a fab week...it's supposed to be lovely and warm in the UK for a few days! Yay! :)

Just Inklined are Hopping Again!

It's the first Monday of the month again...so it's Just Inklined blog hop day! :)

This month our hop theme has been chosen by the ever so fab Joyce...and it's...'Embossing' ...

I've used the fab 'Ringo' image from Just Inklined and have embossed the shaker surround with the Tim Holtz 'wood' folder. The background is wood veneer.

If you're heading in the right direction then you should have arrived here from Jeni's blog...and with a huge hop from here, you will get to the wonderfully talented and completely potty (not like me!!) Meesh's blog :) If you've nipped in any other way then you won't want to miss anything...so run back to the beginning, which is the lovely Joyce

If you get lost and didn't bring your sat nav, then below is the hop order to get you back to where you want to be :)

Just Inklined February Hop...

I'm not quite sure where January went to, but here we are in February, and it's time for another Just Inklined hop!

This month we have the theme of 'Valentine'...

I have used the gorgeous image Wedding Bouquet from Just Inklined and made a card just perfect for a Valentine wedding. The leaf is made with a Nellie Snellen punch and embosser...it's definitely my 'THE' punch to have at the moment. I bought mine from Dragonfly Designs.

The Just Inklined images are now available from La Pashe...and are a BARGAIN £1 each!!!!

If you arrived from the wonderful Jeni's blog then you're on the right track and need to hop on over to Meeshe's blog :) If you just happened to be wandering by, then you need to jump back to Cathy's blog, as you don't want to miss anything!!

Help Our Artists...

Our dear friend Mo has been having a real hard time with a certain somebody, who believes she has the right to 'steal' Mo's (and other companies) images, and put them out on her own site! Even people who sell artists digi and stamped images on Ebay don't/don't want to realise the damage they are doing to these artists....and us!!! They need our help, before our artists stop sharing their wonderful illustrations with us.

Happy Birthday Aubrey...shhhhhh

Don't shout 'Happy Birthday' too loudly...I think Aubrey has overdone his birthday celebrations! Aubrey's Cake is a Just Inklined image, and he and many of his family can be found HERE

I have deserted my Design Teams of late, so I'm now on a mission!! Two cards made this morning...and more planned for this afternoon...but I'll not be able to show you those yet!! I'm off to take dinner to Mum, and feed two 'forever hungry' children first though.

Thank you all for your messages of support...It's good to be back at my craft desk!! :)

Just Inklined December Hop!

Morning! And a very chilly one it is too...So the best way to warm yourself up is to go for a hop! :0)

The Just Inklined team's hop for this month has the theme of 'Stitching' ... this can be real or faux.

I have used the gorgeous 'Christmas Wreath - Pinecones' image.

If you arrived at my blog via our fabulous Guest Designer 'Jeni' ...then you've probably just about finished your hopping ... and your cup of tea! If not....then head on back to who is at the starting post! Oh...and don't forget your tea! :0)

Just Inklined November Blog Hop!

I can't believe we're in November already!! The months keep going faster and faster...it really doesn't seem that long ago that all the snow was here!!

This month's Just Inklined hop is hosted by...........ME!!! Yay!! And my theme choice is to use at least 2 punches on our cards.

My chosen image is the most gorgeous 'Corner Poppy' image...and instead of using it in a corner, I've used one the right way and flipped one so they're back to back. This is such a fabulous image...and perfect for this time of year.

I am at the beginning of the hop, so you haven't missed a thing! Next, hop along to the fabulously talented Debbie who I just know, will have something fantastic to show you.

Thanks for stopping by...and enjoy the journey x

Three Trees....

A day perfect for this card!! Autumnal, with a blast of sunshine to give the colours I've used on here.

The image is Three Trees from Just Inklined, and the leaves that I've used to edge the tree matt are from a tapestry set.

After a lengthy rummage in the depths of my punch drawer, I found two leaf punches, and used them on various coloured Stampin' Up! cardstock to make the very simple 'look of falling leaves' border... and a ribbon finishes it off x

Just Inklined are Hopping!!

Good morning!

Have you got 10minutes on this wet old Monday morning? Then grab a cuppa, and come hopping with the Just Inklined girls on our monthly Hop! This month Karen chose the theme of 'Stripes'!

I've used the just fabby Benny Bumblethorpe ...who seems to think that it's 'Job Done!' Personally...I think he may just have a smidging of clearing up to do!! ^.^

Now, if you've arrived from the lovely Karen's blog, then you're in the right place...if you didn't, then hop back to her so you don't miss a thing!!

From here hop across to our fabby Debbie, as I just know she'll have something wonderful to show you x

Should you lose your way...here's the list so you can get back to your hopping! ...ENJOY!! :)

Just Inklined Blog Hop...B & B

Morning all!

Well the first day back at school has arrived, so hopefully there's time for a nice cuppa and a blog hop with Just Inklined!! We are hopping this month with the 'B & B' theme...otherwise known as 'Buttons & Bows' :)

I have used the gorgeous Little Church in the Snow image, which is not only great for Christmas but also for winter weddings too. The image is set behind an acetate window and Stickles have been added to give it a lovely sparkle. The buttons and ribbons on my project were supplied by Fantastic Ribbons...who have the most scrumptious and yummy ribbons and buttons ever!!

The other DT girls will have some fantastic work for you to see I'm sure...so enjoy!! If you came here from the ever so talented ...Karen...then you're on the right track...if not, then hop on back to Toni and she will point you in the right direction. The next person to call on from here is the fabby Debbie.

Have fun!! x

A New Winner...

As the digi from the Just Inklined blog hop wasn't claimed, I have done a re-draw...and the new winner is.......... Debs....... Congrats Debs, and if you email me at i.luv.my.craft@gmail.com I'll pass your details onto Jak.

I Did It!!

Nope...nothing spectacular to report, just that my Tim Holtz 'Shabby Vintage' papers arrived yesterday...the ones I've had my eye on for aaaages...but kept talking myself out of!! The ones that I spent most of yesterday stroking...the ones that tonight/this morning...I USED!!!!!!!! SHOCK!!! HORROR!!! They are definitely that sort of paper pack where you need to have two! ...Or perhaps my brother in law is right...perhaps I DO need to get out more!! lol

But, you know you're having fun when you look at the clock and it tells you that it's 4.15 in the morning...AGAIN!!!! Eeeek! ...It wasn't entirely MY fault...it was those papers and the image that were calling me!! ^.^

I have used Zei Prom from the Just Inklined range of digi stamps, and she is gorgeous. I just love her boots! I'm a terror for wearing mine...undone...all the time...not with a skirt though...but I think she looks great!

This is a tent card, and I've used nesties to take out the shape in the centre, backed it with acetate and then put the 'next size down label' (technical jargon!) back in the middle. IYKWIM :) Then used a smaller size still to make the tags.
