Brown and Orange Humphreys Corner HUGS Card.

Here is a card I have made this afternoon. I stamped the image and coloured it in with my promarkers, which I then cut out with a set of "Crafts Too" square bracket dies that I used on the diagonal. I added some gold rafia and some card candi. Hope you like it.

Diamond Spring Saturated Canary Card.

Here is a rather simple card but one that I really like the end results. I used a saturated canary diggie stamp that I coloured with pm's/fm's/tria's. You can buy "Saturated Canary Diggie Stamps" from this Etsy Shop.

Green & Blue "Put Your Feet Up" Card.

Here is a card I have made using a gorgeous and funny diggie stamp from the loverly "Mo Manning". I used my promarker and flexmarkers to colour the image and the LOTV stamped sentiment. I then embossed green/blue card and mounted on the other colour mirror board. I then mounted the image on 2x layers (one of each colour) mirrow board. I then glossy accented the sentiment which was still drying when I took the photo so is a little opaque but will dry clear and shiny. I also coloured some white pearls to fit the colour scheme. Only a quick card but hope ya enjoy it.

Saturated Canary Card.

For the following card I coloured a "Saturated Canary diggie stamp" called Nevaeh available from Krista's store here: Saturated Canary Store. I coloured the diggie stamp with my flex-markers and promarkers.

Marker Colour Chart.

Well you all know I am addicted to using my promarkers and flex-markers and limited edition spring promarkers. Well today I have sat down and done a complete colour chart with ALL the pen colours on the one chart. I have wrote on my own copy a little 'L' on the limited edition colours as you can see in the photo below of my coloured in chart. Think this is what comes from having all the promarkers, flex-markers and 3x packs the spring limited edition pens and of course some useful duplicates.

My own full PM/FM colour chart completed.

I don't use the colour numbers so have only put the colour names on the chart. Here is my blank marker colour chart: DOWNLOAD LINK

Just a little colouring.

Well today I got some more LOTV stamps. Well I stamped them out after ez-foam mounting them. And coloured in one that really caught my eye. This is the results.

Quick Update.

Sorry for no card makes this last week or blog posts but sadly on Friday we had to have Toby the border collie put to sleep as he was in end stage heart failure. It broke our hearts but we chose to do what was right for him and came away from the PDSA knowing he was not suffering anymore.

RIP Toby - 1st Jan 2000 to 27th Jan 2012. You were the bestest border collie ever little man.

RIP Toby - 1st Jan 2000 to 27th Jan 2012.

We both (me and mum) knew the saturday (day after) that IF the right dog came along we would rehome it. This is a dog house through and through.

On the sunday I posted on Facebook asking for people keep an ear out for a suitable dog and a local lady arranged for us to meet a "Collie-cross crossed with rottie" bitch 12mths old that needed rehoming urgently.

Well we met at the ladys house with the dog "Tia" and her owner and the local lady who helped get us together. Well bless her Tia took to mum and me straight away and am afraid she came home with us there and then.

She is ruling the roost and relishing her freedom and new home even though we have alot of training to do she is settling brilliantly.

Please welcome Tia to our family.
