new home

I also used Promarkers, Nesties, Marianne flower dies, My Minds Eye papers.

It took me a while to make this card. Lots of pondering and then 'eureka' it cane to me. The image actually says it all. My son is a scientist and this card will be for his birthday later in  the year.

I dug out old graph lined books, coloured the image with Promarkers and put together with coloured staples. Off course the image is Kenny K. 

Simple and I really like it.

Baby Boy

It has been a while since I have posted. I have been on holiday.

We had a fabulous holiday in Chamonix in France. The scenery and walks were breathtaking, unfortunately photographs do not do it justice. They do give a flavour of what's on offer though.   

This is a view of Mont Blanc from the Aiguille du Midi.

The air is very thin here as we are 3842 metres high (12,065 feet)

Looking down on the clouds.

I drew the buildings and inked the edges and added an embossed backgound. The images were coloured with Promarkers, made a moon from Nestie circles.
I enjoyed making this scene.

New flower die

I bought this Memory Box flower die last Saturday at a lovely craft shop in Cupar in Fife. We were on our way to St Andrews to for the weekend and stopped off to get some groceries. I happened to notice a carpet shop with a Hougie Board in the window, well that only means one thing.... there must be more inside. This is a relatively new enterprise called McOyster Crafts. I  have never seen so many Memory Box and other dies on display and by all account more arriving soon. I think I may be a regular visitor from now on.

So here is my first card. Very simple as I was making this in a limited time.

I used Cuttlebug dots and Nesties.
