Dragon's Dream TIO # 98 - These Boots were Made for Walking

Thought my grumpy girl stamp from LOTV fitted the bill for boots made for walking! The background stamp is "En Vogue Shoe" by Stamp Happen embossed with silver pearl and then covered with Bundled sage D Stain. I added Dusty Concorde round the edges. The girl is coloured with Promarkers. Thank you for stopping by to take a look, all your comments are greatly appreciated.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge # 172 - Autumn Flowers

Another new sponsor over at Rainbow Lady's this week. My lovely flower digi is from our sponsor Glitter Babe Digis. It is a Columbian Daisy and I coloured it with Promarkers. My A5 card base is covered with a paper from Cosmo Cricket and then with a design cut from a K & Co. scrapbook paper. I thought the colours were just right for Autumn. I added a sentiment using the Xyron Design runner. Do join in with us this week for your chance to win a prize from our sponsor.

CD Sunday - Winter Wonderland

This week I have made a 5 by 7 card using a scene from Ooh La La Dreams of Tranquillity. The pearl blue backing paper was edged using a Martha Stewart punch and I added a crystal bead trim given to me by my friend Janet. Think I took the photo at an angle as my braid is on straight, honest!
Thank you for taking a look any comments you leave are much appreciated.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 97 - Mother - Embroidery

My lovely Mum taught me to embroider, daisy chain being our starter stitch which is why I have included it on my tag. The body form is TH die cut using Grunge patterned board coloured with Fired Brick. I crocheted the flowers and stitched on the ribbon. The tag itself is stamped using Anna Griffin stamps and distressed with Worn Lipstick.
Thanks for stopping by to have a look, any comments you leave are much appreciated.

Crafty Ann's Challenge #50 - Around The World

I decided to travel round the world to the Orient using three of Ann's gorgeous Oriental digis. I combined them with the Mail Art stamp template from Chocolate Baroque and a lovely backing paper from my stash, called Japan Journey and made by "Dove of the East". I do hope you will join us over at Crafty Ann's Challenge blog.

CD Sunday - Black and Blue

I thought I would try a technique I use in my scrapbooks on my card this week. My image is from Joanna Sheen's Patience Strong CD and I split the image unevenly and pieced it together again with some pieces higher than others. I added the small version of the image to show how it looks whole. The backing paper is from Anna Griffin and the gems from my stash. Sometimes on a scrapbook page I use three separate photos of the same scene, the centre bigger picture always being the main point of interest.

This is a page where I did that from some photos of the Godrevy lighthouse in Cornwall. Thank you for stopping by, I do appreciate all your comments.
