My Gorjuss Girl...

Had to make a card for an order and the girl who it is for is a cook, this is the 3rd year I have had to make a card for her and couldnt find the craft robo template that I wanted to use so couldnt resist using one of the Gorjuss Girls stamps....an in shades of blue because thats her fav colour...had a couple of problams with my pens and smudged them with my hand because I wasnt paying attention when putting the finnishing touches on but think I have covered it up well.lol....
So here's what I used...

Gorjuss girl rubber stamp, coloured with watercolour pencils and promarkers...
Nesties small scallop circle...
Blue label shape made with craft robo...
Sentiment made on computer, think its chocolate box font...
Flowers and stick on pearls all from stash....
Some faux stitching done with whispers pens and glimmer chalks to edge the nestie...

Did add some more pearls at the last minute to even it up a bit but never had time to retake pics...hope you like it and thanks for looking....hugs Jackie xx

Pollycraft Challenge Card

This weeks challenge over at Pollycraft Designs is to make a card using at least one of their downloads, I was spoilt for choice as to which one to make my card with, but opted for Leah from the 'Tyler and Leah cool' download...so heres what I used...

'Tyler and Leah cool' download coloured with promarkers and copics..
Background paper is from the Tobias and Tallulah Pastel Papers dowload, edged with Martha Stewart punch..
Small sticker flowers and sentiment are docrafts..
Flowers made with punch and the buttons are from stash, the lace and ribbon were bargain buys, about 5 foot for 50p each from a shop in Aberdeen, I just love a bargain dont you...

As usual I am at the last minute but hopefully not too late...
hope you like my card and thanks for looking....hugs and happy crafting...

Started Work, So Have Been a Busy Tired Little Bee....

Not been a very good blogger of late have I.lol...I got the call last Friday to start my new job as a Family Aide worker at the Social Work Department in Aberdeen...Started on Monday, boy was I thrown in at the deep end, its so busy (sadly)and I had to find me feet myself...looked cool calm and collected on the surface but I was like a duck - paddling like mad underneath.lol..Got through it with no hitches thank god,now I'm off until Tuesday, because Monday is a public holiday...did I time that right or what...lol...I only work 2.5 days a week so still leaves me time to craft, because dont think will be much getting done in the evening because Ive been sleeping before 8pm the both nights I worked all day...Aint done 9-5 since before Barry was born 23 years ago, so its a shock to the system I can tell ya...and I aint 23 no more.lol....Its a job I'm going to really enjoy but it has made me realise that I have naff all to moan about even though the boys drive me nuts at times, and I have had a little think about how lucky I am and how precious the people in my life are...think everyone should do that now and then dont you?
Will get some blog hopping done in the next couple of days to catch up on all your lovely creations....hope you are al well in blogland wherever you are....off to make some cards so might get them uploaded later...hugs and happy crafting....
