New Adventure

You guys know.. I love colouring. I'm a huge fan of Letrasets ProMarkers and FlexMarkers, and although I have tried many other 'mediums' from Copics to Spectrum Noirs.. from Prismas to Watercolour Pencils.. my Letraset Alcohol Markers win. Hands down. Everytime. Which is why they're the only things you see me use on projects these days!!

Almost every image I colour.. I try and write down the combo in my notebook I have with me when I craft. Which is home to everything, from to do lists, to orders and things to do. As well as ideas I want to try and places I've seen them. It's all getting a little full.

SO! I decided to treat myself to a brand new My MeMo notebook.. to create a little ProMarker Journal. 

So be on stand by. As my little book grows I'll post update pictures. So far I've created a page for my six fave skin combos!! :)

Enjoy your Sunday, whatever you're up to!

SMASH* on Saturday

Guess who's back - back again. ;)

The title gives it away. If you stopped by yesterday, you'll know that I've got a little SMASH* page with my purrdy cat to share with ya!! So here it is..

Just a heap load of randomness. I literally have no idea where half the stuff has come from, I just pulled red and green stuff from my little SMASH* tote, because  those were the colours I was feeling at the time. Perhaps that little Christmas fairy was niggling at the very back of my brain. Someone, please tell me I'm not alone in the 'running late with Christmas' creations. Please. LOL!

I do know that that button flower set up is from Sassafras. Only reason I know that.. is because I've been hoarding it like mad.. like since I even took up crafting a couple years ago. I don't think they make them any more! :( 

Thickers.. and.. Dear Lizzie alpha stickers make up the title. I think. 

I'm not gonna waffle at you any more! :) Thanks for stopping by. Over and Out. xo

Peaches in the Pink

I'm sticking to my promise, thus far. Right? I've had a post every day this week for ya! ;) Today is no exception.. it was a toss up between a comissioned card and a SMASH* page.. this gorgeous little card won over though, be back tomorrow for a SMASH* page featuring my little (big) Shadow Cat. 

So here is the yummy.. "Peaches in the Pink" - NEVER a combo I'd ever think of doing.. but hell.. it just started coming together and I went with it. I used some of that gorgeous hexagon paper from My Minds Eye.. that I've been hoarding for the perfect project. Voila. :)

I've stamped my sentiment using Harolds ABCs from Lawn Fawn - which have been totally hammered these past months - using some yummy Pool Party ink from SU! A vellum doily, some twill stripe ribbon, a few buttons and liquid pearls, twine, ohh and some Wild Orchid Crafts goodness.

How do you guys feel about cards with no images? Do you find them harder to piece together? I dunno what it is.. it just takes me forever to decide on layers and papers and placement. Then I always go back to what I had decided on in the first place - making the process way more lengthy than it needs to be. I guess I have a problem with commitment before I play around with the look for a while first!! LOL!

In a way, I kinda like making cards like this as a 'break' in between colouring and tryna find colours to match my PM combos and stuff. Weird, as I love colouring more than anything.. but I also have a huge love affair with paper - so just playing with paper and stamps with no pens involved is very relaxing. No thinking involved really. 

So, that's all from me today. I hope to catch up more with you all soon!!

Red Riding Hood

Morning Bloggers. It's been pretty quiet around here lately, huh? Apart from my already scheduled posts, I haven't been around much at all. So I have a lot of catching up to do!! I can only apologise to every single one of you for being a poop friend and blogger of late. I honestly have no excuse.. apart from the fact I am constantly tired these days. I'll work at catching up over the rest of the week. I promise!

So.. if any of you are on FB, you may know that I am now part of the Angie Delarie Products DT! YEAHHH! ;) I was asked at the middle of last month, and I thought about it for a couple minutes and was like.. YEAHHH!! Have you SEEN her designs?! Totally unique and original, just what us crafters need right now me thinks.

So without further adu.. AUGUSTS RELEASE is RED RIDING HOOD.

CUTE?! CUTE!! I decided to use the Woodsman and that cute little Wolf. CUTE! I know!! LOL!

I wanted this 'couple' to feature on a SMASH* page.. so I decided to print out a few more pictures from my trip to Edinburgh Zoo and get them SMASH*ed into my Green Eco book. Wanna take a looksie?

Edinburgh Birds!! That little white tag inside the pocket on the main tag - confusing - just explains that I'm not a huge fan of zoo's or birds/ animals in cages.. but when they're protecting a species for future generations.. I guess I'm sorta okay with it. 

So that handsome Woodsman has been coloured using ProMarkers and FlexMarkers, as has his wolfie friend. I've fussy cut them both and attached them to my design using dimensionals. I've used some colours to match up with Echo Park - This and That collection. Gorgeous, manly yet soft colours! I LOVE that button eye. It gets me every time man. So freakin' quirky!!

While you're here..

Did you guys see the BRAND NEW Strawberry Whipettes release earlier last week?! Check out THIS LINK - which will take you to the Angie Delarie BLOG. 

Here is another SMASH* page I made using two cuties from this release.

Ahh, I can't wait to see what this talented lady has up her sleeve for us in months to come. Be sure to stop by my blog over the next week or so, there is gonna be lots of posts happening. I promise.

Woah, that's two promises I have made in one post - let's hope I stick to them!!

Lots of love. xo
