Beauty Queen

So here's something different! I made a card without a Bella stamp. Isn't that unbelievable. I know, I even surprised myself. I am so behind on everything lately, my Bella cards, my blog hopping, my colouring - all of it! It's so sad, I don't like being behind, especially not having seen what you all have been up to. I just don't find the time, and when I do sneak in a little 'blog visiting' I can't leave comments cause it's blocked on my work computer :-(

I am hoping to catch up a little when I finish here.

This stamp is from Stampendous, and I have had it for a very long time, but this is only the second time I've made something with it. It's incredible how I have to have every stamp I lay my beady little eyes on, and yet I will probably never have the time to use them all more than once.

I coloured this one with my prisma pencils, blended it with grumtine and tried something a little different with the way I cut the image and card. I just felt like being a little more creative than usual.

Well I guess I got to get out of here, my dogs' chicken is cooking and I need to go check on it, but before that I REALLY want to go visit a few blogs. I'm bored with mine, lol!

Life's uncertain

My aunt asked for a card for my cousin's birthday. Men, they are the worst to make cards for. This one, in fact, was actually not that hard. Somehow it just fell into place. Aren't I lucky! I have 3 more male cards to make, so let me not get excited too quickly.

The stamp is by Stampendous, and I coloured it with Lyra pencils, blended with baby oil. I must say, Stampedous always have the cutest project of the month cards, but they haven't updated it for so long..... What's happening, anyone out there know why they're not showing us new projects...?

I finally made a 'double' fold card, not sure how to refer to the way it closes. I've been wanting to try it for ages now and managed it at last. Not that it was hard, just that I never did it.





Well, that's all for now, got to rush my pasta is cooking down stairs, and the children are waiting for dinner.
