King of the castle...


Ta da...I'm back, with my first DT card for a while.  Today I've used another fun image from Dr Digi's House of Stamps, titled Seaside Sidney.  It would be perfect for that someone who may be getting older, but refuses to grow up.  Definitely a guy card!  Do you know anyone like that?  lol

Once again, I've coloured with copics, and some glossy accents for his specs.  Lots of DI on the background along with a crackle stamp for a weathered look.  A bit of ribbon and some buttons for the trim and then a sentiment in a sunny yellow.  Sure makes one wish for those sunny days again.

Thanks for stopping by.

A Dancing Ghoul

Hello everyone.  Hope you are all keeping warm, now that the cooler weather is upon us.  The leaves are now starting to fall, the gardens are a mess, and soon the little goblins will be looking for candy.

My card today uses an image from SLS Lines, and it's all done up with Halloween colours.  Such a dashing fellow....looks like he's ready to party and dance the night away.  I wonder who will be his lucky date!

Don't get too excited...and don't eat too many candies.

Happy Holidays

Well, I made it down to my craft room, but I'm not really there yet with much motivation.  As I have a number of stamps and images coloured up, I think perhaps I'll try to make them into cards.  Hopefully Mr Mojo will be along soon!  Perhaps he will pick up those buttons that I spilled on the floor.....not allowed to bend yet.  I see a potential for a big mess!!


Here I have used water colours to colour this Simply Sassy stamp from Funky Kits.  The papers were from my leftover bits, and just a little bow for embellishment.  Christmas colours of red and green, with some gold metallic marker to provide the edging, and its all ready to go.  Won't be long now, until the holiday season is here, as fall is definitely upon us.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your day!

Bicycle Boy

Good morning everyone.  Still awaiting the energy to go downstairs to my craft room, but the thought is there.  I've now transitioned to the cane, rather than the walker, so at least it is now feasible.  Maybe today???   In the meantime, here is a card that I thankfully finished before my surgery, as my grandson's birthday is coming up quickly!


This Kenny K image is perfect for the birthday boy and was a delight to colour up with my copics.  Nice and simple, with minimum embellishment.  I used the Spellbinder's Postage Stamp die behind the image, and added the bit of line/stitch work to the image to make it look like a stamp.  I think it worked.

Thanks for visiting, and hoping all is well with you.
