Not my usual kinda cards..

I have had quite a busy time over the weekend so not had much time for crafting and when i have in the evening i have been so exhuasted. With this in mind i decided to do a bit of theraputic decoupage, although this did result in a blister on my thumn lol - take about intricate! Anyway here are my latest very simple and not my usual kinda cards....

I quite like the coffee one but not sure about the teapot one! I just think they are a bit too simple for my liking, lol. But can't have it always can we!!

Supplies - House Mouse Decoupage, Doodlebug Papers, Bazzill Cardstock, Doodlebug Jewels, Papermania Flowers & Ribbon.

Rae With Journal

Well what can i say, i absolutely love Mo Mannings designs! I have been asked to do a few more Teen & up cards so these girly images are fabulous for that! This one is called Rae With Journal and i think it is one of my favorite images!

Sorry i have been using these papers again! You must be getting fed up of them, but i love them! Lissy said this image looks like me, thats why i did her hair brown, so it would look more like a older version of her rather than me, lol.

Supplies - Mo Manning 'Rae With Journal', GCD Papers, Copics & Promarkers, Martha Stewart Punch, Jewels & Stickles

Elzybells Summer Easel Card

I, like many was so sad to hear that Elizabeth has decided to close Elzybells! I have loved her cute little designs for years. I was one of the original Design Team members when she launched her new look website in 2008 so really sad to see her go :(. I did of course have to buy a few last stamps and they came yesterday! I just had a little play around and made an easel card! Lissy chose all the papers & colours for me, bless her!

I can't believe how easy & simple these cards are to make!

Sumpin's Wrong

I have always loved Mo Mannings designs and i absolutely LOVE this design called Sumpin's Wrong! I have seen it around for a while and i really wish i had got it at Newbury in rubber, but for now i will use the Digi Image! It is great as you can resize it to whatever size!

Now i had a bit of a dilema last night! One of my all time favorite copic skin colours totally ran out! I managed to just about finish this image off but i would have 3D'd the image but now i have to wait until i go to town to get another one!!

I didn't really have any DP that matched or went well so i chose to keep it simple and use good old Bazzill & DCWV Cardstock! Normally i find the papers first then colour the image to match but well i tried it the other way round lol.
