No, I haven't forgotten my grammar!! Mary J here with a get well card because I just can't seem to make enough of these in the current horrid weather we are experiencing in the UK!!

This is for a male colleague and love this Paper Makeup Flubu Monster and that sentiment comes with him. I used my fave Bazzill Smoothies Kraft cardstock for the base and papers from the Crate Paper School Spirit 6x6 pad - brilliant papers with this brilliant image!! I also used Distress Inks stain in Picket Fence to soften the edges and papers - this is so easy to use for this technique!

And do you like my layout? I used this month's Quixotic Paperic sketch - hope it has inpired you to play along for a chance to win a £15 prize! Link your projects up here - I hope you can join in!

That's it from me today! See you next Thursday but before I go, don't forget to check out the new goodies in store!

A nip and the punch for the first of the month. Can you believe it?! February already.. sheesh.

Anywho. Have you guys seen the brand new e-magazine?! All dedicated to our love to COLOUR. Check it out here. I thought I'd share a card with you all from that magazine using a stamp from the Janurary release of TGF.

This is one of the three stamps from Miss Anya Garland. How cute?! I've coloured her hair and skin using Copics and her dress, headband and tights using ProMarkers. I have paper pieced her little heart garland using papers from My Minds Eye - Breeze collection which I have used on the rest of the card.

As for the sentiment I used a staple (in my opinion) stamp from from Whimsy and the matching die - Whimsy Friendship Ticket Sentiments. For a little more added interest on the grid style patterned paper I used the hearts stamp from the Flutter Heart set too.

I think that just about covers it! :)

Have you joined in with our Sketch Challenge #3 yet?! Do it!! A random winner will receive a £15 voucher to use at Quixotic Paperie!!

You've touched my heart

Hi ladies, today I have this card to share; the stamp is one of the Beautiful Day Fairies from Paper Makeup Stamps - Sugarplum Fairy, coloured with Prisma pencils, the papers are from a First Edition paper pad, the flowers are made using Die-namics and the sentiment comes from a Paper Makeup Stamps set - ''When There's Nothing Left to Say''. This set has been sold out, but there are lots of other great sets, and this is the link to them.

That's all from me for today, please meet me next Sunday, same time, same place. Have a great week.

Hugs,

Alina
