Crafty Cardmakers;This week you have to stamp somethingbut also try something new.Well this is my 2nd Digi stamp ive ever done .I printed it off several times ,coloured with copics and layered several times on top of the image to form decoupage.i have then used Glamour dust and sakura clear glazed pen to give the sheen.The card is from Gina K Designs,the backing paper from yet again the "Christmas Mint Collection "by S.E.I. The ribbon says "Happy Holidays"and is from Poppicrafts.

Now the second Challenge im entering this into is for the Gina K Design Forum Stamp T.V.

This week was to use glaze on your project whihc i have certainly done .Thanks Gina for the fab tutorials you do on Stamp t.v.

Also she has a fab shop here great quality goods and also shipps to uk if you see anything you want just take note email them instead of checking out on site .They work out the shipping the cheapest way and send pay pal invoice through.I usually takes 4-5 days!yes as quick as that from usa.So worth a peek and you wont be disappointed in any of her craft goods quality is second to none!

hugs judexx

Just before i go.....

Bit of a long post so sit down grab a cuppa ...lol. Well im all ready for the off being half term the girls and i are going to stay with dad ,and go visit mum,which will be nice as yeasterday suffered a fall and apparently has a face looking like she has done 3 rounds with Frank Bruno .Dad rang yesterday to say he popped in after she returned from A&E,he said if it was you or i wed be in pain and have huge headache .Because mum has alzhiemers they have given her pain killers regularly for next few days,As the staff keep saying to dad it looks painful and all mum can do when they look at is her smile and wave bless her .Hasn't unfortunately got a clue to what has happened didnt even know she had been to the hospital which is so sad surpose a blessing.They havent how ever showed her, her face and arent going to which is a good thing.But by the time i go visit on sunday im sure it will be out in bloom.
Well im all packed boxes of crafts to take down for the first Alzhiemers bazaar.
Then thursady eve just sat down with cuppa whilst packing stuff away my friend popped in with a couple of bits for me to take ,then asked if i could possibly make her a Halloween Door hanger and card to match for her son as hed love it and it is also his birthday on halloween.Just can't believe it 2nd time this week i have had to make the same card and project again which never normally happens as i do one off cards usually .So yesterday i got to work and before giving it to her yesterday forgot to take nice photo. (so the photo below is the one i previously made but exactly the same without the bag )
I would like to enter this into this weeks challenge over at Stampin for the Weekend Which this weeks theme is Fangtastic Halloween Cards so im going to enter this door hanger and card made for my friend Heide's son!Do hope you & he likes it.... hope so!
The door hanger i painted with good old Tesco acrylic copper paint this is great for craft projects and at a grand old price of 99p for bottle very good value these usually situated in kids crafts if anyone interested .The shimmer of the paint was ideal for my background for the black dracula decoupage that is then fixed to a tag.The door hanger itself is made from MDF.The card i used exactly the same decouapge tag design.the embellishments pumkins are from my stash from rak .
Well thankyou so much for all your lovely comments from my blogin friends i will this week while at dads hopefully have time to return the messages .As i wont have any crafting to do!So Will have to occupy my craft withdrawl with bloggin well my excuse im keeping to it!lol
Well hope you like my projects
I am at the moment taking part in a swap on the swap-bot site .I have to make 12 christmas cards to send for this swap all have to be hand made so i have just started and made one card this am that's going to Australia thats if royal mail permits....with on going strike.The card i dont often use tall cards but this was just what the doctor ordered for this card.The backing card is form Kanban which is lovely with embossed snowflakes.The digi image im unsure were i got that from but know it was a freebie and aint he cute!coloured with copics and snow.
The card i purchased last time i went shopping with my good friend June on my last visit to Dads.So i may just have to get some more this time when i go meet up with her again.See ya soon June!!!at least this time we shall try not to do any tutorials and distress a project whilst sat having a drink in the pub!OMG yep we did with my eldest daughter looking on all embarrased !The image on the card is a digi image yes my printer has returned from hospital Whey hey!!hope you like my cute penguin card too.
Well take care ,Stay save and keep crafting do some for me too!!..lolOh just before i go i would just like to thank my good friend cheryl for the lovely card that arrived on thursday sorry for delay in thanking you just havent had much time ....Can't think why !gald to see the stamp i sent for your birthday came in handy,it's gorgeous!
