Items for sale!!!!!!

Hiya everyone,

I have been having a tidy up today and have decided to get rid of some stuff! They are available on a first come first served basis and I will only accept paypal for payment.

Firstly we have 3 Cosmo Cricket sets. I have garden variety, material girl and joyride. These are all brand new in their packets.

Each set includes:-

1 x 12" scrapbooking kit RRP £16.99
1 x 12" Sheet of matching adhesive chipboard letters RRP £4.99

I will sell each set for £12 + £3 P+P (in the UK)

(If somebody would like all 3 sets I will only charge one lot of P+P)

Next up is a massive load of 12x12 papers - hundreds in fact. I estimate that there is about 3 pizza box loads full. These are mostly patterned but there are a few plain solid colour ones but not many. There are a few papers that are duplicated but not many. Lots of different colours and patterns etc. Making memories, K & Co, Pebbles inc are a few of the brands included. A few may be a little dogeared on the corners but the majority are in pefect condition. I added my bone folder to give you an idea of the amount.

I would like £20 for this + £10 P+P (in the UK - it's very heavy although if P+P is considerably less I will refund the extra paid - I just can't be bothered taking it to the post office to get it weighed)

This a sizzix leaf #3 original green die. It is a duplicate so I don't need this one.

£2.50 + £1 P+P (in the UK)

Lastly is a lot of 16 rubber stamps - these have never been used and are in perfect condition. They vary in size so I have put a few coins around them to give you an idea of size as I can't be bothered measuring them all. I would prefer to sell these as a job lot but may split if nobody wants them all!

I would like £10 + £3.00 P+P (in the UK)***SOLD SORRY***

If you have any questions or are interested in any of the items please e-mail me.

Thanks for looking!!!

Last GDT card for the craftypad

Hiya everyone,

This is my last card for my guest DT position over at the crafty pad. I was given some really fab images to work with so making the cards was good fun. This strawberries image can be purchased at the crafty pad designs.

I have coloured the image with my promarkers and it turned out better than expected - my shading and highlighting sometimes leave little to be desired Lol. The gingham papers are from funky fairy gorjuss ginghams which you sadly can no longer get. The lace and flowers are from wild orchid crafts. Sentiment done on the computer - font is "a little pot". Everything else from my stash. I based the layout on this weeks papertake weekly sketch except my image is oval rather than square - I hope that's ok!


I will enter it into the following challenges:-

Marks finest papers - Food
Secret crafter - Sweet treats
Guylou's inimitability - Anything goes
Simply create - The power of flowers
Do you stack up? - Anything goes
Paper romance - Anything goes

House mouse summery card

Hiya everyone,

I made this card although I'm not 100% happy with it. I've been so busy this week with other stuff I didn't really have too much time to spend on it. I like the way the image turned out but I'm not quite sure what bothers me about it Lol! I was trying not to be too fussy and I think it now looks too plain so I can't win! I coloured my image with my promarkers and have added very fine sand to the beach, glossy accents to the glass and crackle accents to the ice cube. It doesn't photograph too well though as it just looks too shiny.

Ah well, I made it to enter into the House Mouse and friends monday challenge which I will do anyway. The theme this time is to use your favourite stamp. This strictly isn't my favourite as I think my favourites are some of the christmassy ones but it was my favourite non-christmas one that I had. I will also enter this into any other challenges that I can find to fit the criteria.

Less is more challenge card

Hiya Everyone,

I have been soooo busy this week as I've had some cards to make for CM & P magazine and I've just got some some stuff sent from Joanna Sheen to make up a new batch of samples for the March C&C TV show. I've just made this card in about 20 minutes as the deadline for the less is more challenge closes shortly and I've been putting off making it all week Lol.

The image is from Summer Driggs "sweet springtime" freebie digital kits (see sidebar for link to her fab site) - I have just added a touch of crystal stickles glitter glue to the blossoms. The backing paper is from a Pink Petticoat kit called "spring wishes" (in colour pistachio). The card is actually just the wrong shade of green basic card that I coloured the edges of with my pear green promarker to match up better!
Sentiment done on computer - font is akaFrivolity.

I think it looks quite effective seeing as it was a quickie!

I will enter this into the following challenges:-

Less is more - spring
Allsorts - Inspired by nature
Stampin sisters in Christ - Use green
Forgotton scraps - Spring or flowers
Crafty sentiments - Spring

Crafty pad GDT card - Black, red and pink

Hi everyone,

This is the card I made for the 2nd week of my GDT position at the crafty pad blogspot. I made it with the fab crafty pad designs roses digi which I coloured in with my promarkers. The theme this week is Black, red and pink. I used basic black and pink card and used some script paper which was a digi download from pink petticoat perfect papers mini kit. The layout I based on this weeks sweet sketch challenge.
The mum ticket digi is also from the crafty pad designs. I thought I'd try out my heart embossing folder that I desperately needed a few months back that I had never used! A little red heart and a bit of black stickles glitter glue and I was happy with it.

I will enter this into the following challenges:-

Quick and simple mens card

Hiya Everyone,

Just a quick post to share a quick and easy card I made for the FIL for his recent birthday. I hate to spend too much time on mens card as men (generally) don't usually care too much about them and I feel it's a bit of a waste of my time Lol. I also hate making them as I get bored of the usual:-

Football, beer, fishing, DIY, cars etc - Is it just me?!?

Anyway, this simple but effective card is made using a pink petticoat digi which I cut out and mounted onto black card. I added 4 black corners and 4 diamantes and that's it - simple!

The download is from the PP "big fella" range aimed at men which you can find here. I find their stuff ideal for clean and simple and/or quick makes!

Thanks for looking!!!
