Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hi all, not much time for blogging this last year but wanted to pop on and say hi and wish you all a Merry Christmas x

Copic play time

Hi all, well thought you might like to see some recent cards I have made using my Copics. Been enjoying the Copic tutorials though still playing catch up.









Got a way to go still with learning some of the techniques but enjoying playing, just wish I had more time.
Thanks for taking the time to visit me and I will return the favour x

Happy Birthday Ginny

Hi all, made this card for a lovely lady called Ginny whose birthday it is today and you can pop over and wish her happy birthday here



Stamped image is from Clearly Besotted "happy everything" set and also one of the images used at my online Copic class. Coloured with Copics and some clear wink of stellar, love that sparkly finish it gives. Basic Grey "green at heart" paper, card from stash, dies used from Dienamics "blueprints 14" set and added some enamel dots and pearls.
Hope you have a wonderful birthday Ginny x

Crafty Sunday

Hi all,well I had a enjoyable Sunday yesterday playing in the craft room.
Made a card, bracelet and a penguin!
Here is the bracelet, was pleased I could remember how to make it without having to watch a tutorial.






Start of Percy Penguin























And the last one a quick card for my hubby which had a voucher in it entitling him to a weekend away for his upcoming 50th birthday.






Hope you all had a crafty day too x

Inspiration card

Hi all
Well I am loving the online copic class, just wish I had more time! But the good thing about these classes are that you can do them at anytime :-)
Well after seeing this fabulous card using the practise sheets I had to have a go myself.
Used my new brushos to make the background and raised up the parcel and balloons with 3d foam. Sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.



Tomorrow I need to make a penguin!!!

Westpoint Craft show and makes

Hi all.
Well I had the day off yesterday so I could go to Westpoint craft show with my good friend Sandra. We had a fabulous time,met some friends and spent some pennies also :-)
Our highlights of our day out were attending two free workshops
The first one was a mixed media class where we got very messy ( they gave us gloves ) but had fun and made a canvas using a mix of media



And in the afternoon we added a bead jewellery workshop where we learnt how to make a bracelet



We also went to see Joan who is a tutor and you can see her work here and when I asked her for a penquin look what she made for me whilst I went around the show, isn't it cute :-)




And these are my new goodies which i can't wait to play with :-)

Copic class practice sheets

Hi all
Well I recently signed up for a copic online class which you can find out about here and it went live yesterday :-)
So this is my practise sheets from last nights session and though I have only watched two of the videos so far can say I am having a blast and just wish there were more hours in the day!







Been making myself notes on the sheets and also on the PDF files that come with the course. I would highly recommend this course especially for a beginner like me who has only had her copics for a couple of weeks!
Hopefully can fill in the rest of the balloons after work but really need a magic wand to avoid going into work lol
