mt little boys have got a party to go to tomorrow, my best friends little lad is 6 and the boys have known each other since birth, the following card is made for him, he likes purple so thats where i started.

 I put platinum stickles around the edges as i think it goes fab on masculine cards,as its a bit darker than silver, and those amazing star embellies i got from a friend so no clue where to get some more when they all gone as well :-(

Here is my card using mainly blue and my image is a TSB one

Ive had that folied paper for about 2 years and found it out the other day and just knew i needed to use it up !!!

 we have used digital images from hope jacare too, i chose this fabulous drum kit!!! isnt it super cool? i love how you could colour it in and add lots of sparkle or leave it plainer (like i have) and it would still look awesome

My card has been distressed by tearing up all my card stock and designer paper, matted and layered with silver pearlised paper and ive ruffled up the lovely saddle stitch grey/white ribbon that i got from meiflower for xmas

 To add a little colour to my black/grey/silver creation i used my blue gloss sakura pen, to colour round the sentiment tag stamp form whimsy stamps, and white sakura pen for faux stitching, then off course to finish of my card those fab massive silver star embellies.

Hi guys

Some of you may know ive started dabbling in jewellery making too, ive been doing that about 7 months ish i think now, so i started a seperate blog for my jewellery creation, although my postings have been a bit hit and miss, partially to the fact i havent many followers yet lol, so i guess im gonna be ickle bit cheeky and see who else out there enjoys a bit of jewellery making too???? if your like me and enjoy that as well id love you to pop over have a nosey at my work, perhaps become a follower if you feel you would like too lol, and then ill pop by your blogs to say thankyou,

Crikey isnt it windy again!!!

I went out this morning for a walk to the post office to get my milk and bread as i was gasping for a cuppa lol an it nearly blew me to scotland lol oh an being as i live in derbyshire thats quite a way lol, and on the walk back it chucked it down lol, thanksfully kyle was in his pram covered nice and snug, but me by the time we got back i was like a drowned rat lol

-

So now ive had my first cuppa and onto my second i feel able to share this card with you lol

its another of my lily of the valley stamps......these are coming my top choice at the moment as they are all soooo cute and decent prices too, i have a thing for the boys ones and my fave at the mo is this little fella....he just reminds me of my little lad lol

I left the rest of the card quite plain as i wanted the image to be the first thing you look at and of course little lads dont care for all the fuss do they lol

the one style of DP is from stampin up and the sentiment i think is from lotv too, my lovely friend tracy gave me it, added a bit of card candy and some faux stitching then thats it.
