The background was made using some Fresco acrylic paints just brayered over a piece of card and then stamped over using CI 436 fallen leaves with Potting Shed Archival Ink, the leaves I stamped using CI 487 Woodland words, I used an embossing pen for around the edges to emboss with gold after I had cut the leaf shapes out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The main daffodil image is from CI 488 spring flowers, so this card is a fusion of autumn meets spring, the background of the daffodils is Oxide inks and then I stamped and embossed the flowers in gold and then added crystal lacquer to the flower heads</div>

For this card I heat embossed the frame and all the snowmen in red and coloured the rest in using a green sakura jelly pen, I also used a blue pen for the background but used a water brush to make the colour more subtle but still as shimmery. The snowflakes are from Sainsburys from their Christmas decorations range and are perfect for cards, in fact I've just stocked up on some reindeer and stars as well.</div>

Love this blossom Robin, also coloured with Sakura jelly pens and then I sprinkled white frantage embossing powder over the image for a sprinkle of snow. The background paper is also from Crafty Individuals, lovely set of subtle colours.</div>

For this card I have used Sunset Beach both for the background and the rose, I added colour to the background of the image and leaves with some infusion but used them to paint areas to add subtle colour by just add some infusions into a puddle of water.<br />

Love the fact that the mirror image makes a lovely Love card to someone special or you coould just stamp the one image on its own, The background is a simple distress ink background, I did add glitter for the water effect, the flamingoes themselves were stamped and layered on a distress ink background and rhinestones added for their eyes.</div>

A few weeks ago I made an album for my sister featuring the lovely stamps from<a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-c1"> Crafty Individuals</a>, its a memory album of our family home garden, unfortunately we had to sell the house after Mum became ill so my Son took some lovely pictures throughout the year which I used for this album.<br />
<br />
I have used the spring time book from CI for the background papers and then put a wash of gesso over the papers to soften the colours then on some of the pages I used stencils to create the raised areas and then spritzed glimmer mists to add colour in parts before adding the stamping.<br />

Unfortunately my Mum was one of those people, she passed away in my arms on Sunday 18th December, she has struggled with dementia for many years but we refused to accept it and carried on with life as near normal as possible with her going to garden centres, cream teas and play areas with Zach, my Tuesdays won't be the same any more especially come September when Zach goes to school full time. I guess I'll just catch up with my crafting that has been put on the back burner these past few months. I did forget to post this last Christmas card that I made with the new stamp<a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-c1/individual-collage-stamps-c5/crafty-individuals-ci-462-large-christmas-tree-art-rubber-stamp-69mm-x-95mm-p808"> CI...462 large Christmas tree.</a><br />

I just stamped the background with the new snowflake stamps using broken china and chipped sapphire and added splashes of water to soften the colours, The snowflakes are wooden toppers that I brought in Sainsbury's and then used frantage and a gem stone on the top to finish.</div>

This year I hope to get back into doing challenges as I neglected my blog so much as well as catching up with you guys.</div>

I must confess that I haven't been in my craft room for a couple of weeks as I have my Mum living with me and unfortunately she is on end of life, so I have spent the past 10 days sleeping by her side and holding her hand. Three months ago Mum fell and broke her hip and after seven weeks in hospital she went to a nursing home unfortunately they didn't know the meaning of nursing and after a week she was taken back into hospital as she was so poorly, she spent a week there but they couldn't do very much other than give her fluids and antibiotics to fight the infection and because of her dementia, we decided that Mum would be best at my home where we could wrap her in love, but now it is the time that we have to say goodbye, at least all of the family have had that chance to come and say their goodbyes and she is out of pain, asleep and comfortable.<br />

I am still practising with my copic markers, I kinda just build up layers, I must invest in a some classes as I'm sure there is a lot more to these pens. This card is made using the following stamps <a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-c1/elements-plates-multi-stamps-c7/crafty-individuals-ci-465-festively-ornamental-p811">CI 465 Festively Ornamental </a> I used the smaller snowflake stamp to stamp the background and around the sentiment, the poinsettia was coloured and fussy cut out to sit around the frame of the sentiment <a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-c1/linda-edwards-illustration-stamps-c24/crafty-individuals-ci-446-festively-curly-words-art-rubber-stamps-137mm-x-96mm-p699">CI 446 Festively Curly words</a>.</div>

Morning to you fellow crafty bloggers, I have been away for quite a while now and thought it was time to share some of the cards I have been making but not blogging, I must admit to not feeling up to is as for the past six weeks I have spent every afternoon in hospital visiting my Mum who fell and broke her hip but because she has dementia her progress has been slow and her dementia has got worse, it's a cruel disease as there have been a couple of days when Mum has been herself again but there are more days when she has become lost to us and has been very agitated. We have now had to go and look at nursing homes for her as she is pretty much bed ridden but a couple of the places we visited gave us nightmares with the conditions and staffing levels, we knew that Mum would end up back in hospital real soon again, how these places get to continue is beyond me the standards are so low.<br />
Anyway onto my Christmas card that I have just made featuring a few<a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/"> Crafty Individual stamps</a>, the image has been coloured in with copics as my Son added another set to my collection as a birthday present and of course you never have quite the right colours so you end up buying more........we all been there yes!<br />

The green background I created by using a brayer and Fresco acrylic paints, after which I stamped the dictionary definition onto it <a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-c1/elements-plates-multi-stamps-c7/crafty-individuals-ci-396-santas-legend-art-rubber-stamps-96mm-x-137mm-p442">CI 396</a> , on a spare bit I stamped and embossed the word Noel <a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-c1/linda-edwards-illustration-stamps-c24/crafty-individuals-ci-446-festively-curly-words-art-rubber-stamps-137mm-x-96mm-p699">CI 446,</a> the Santa image<a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-c1/elements-plates-multi-stamps-c7/crafty-individuals-ci-396-santas-legend-art-rubber-stamps-96mm-x-137mm-p442"> CI 396</a> I cut out and mounted over a piece of lace.<br />

I can't believe that September has already arrived and the children go back to school, guess Christmas will be here in a blink of an eye.Off this week and next week looking after my Mum whilst my sis goes on holiday, just managed to settle her down whilst I post this.........I don't want to get old with Dementia........no fun at all, might have chance to do some challenges now.<br />

It's ages since I have blogged, it's not that I haven't been crafting it's just that I seem to run out of time, to get round to blogging. What with work, looking after my Mum and Grandson on my days off time just slips by. Don't know about you but I wish some good news would come on the telly for a change, and where has the sun gone I was looking forward to seeing my garden in bloom but as soon as the roses started to come out they are now all dying because they are too wet.......definitely in need of some blue sky and sun.<br />
I have been having a play using some of the new <a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/">Crafty Individuals </a>stamps and using Dyluson sprays in pink and lime green for the background, I love how the colours mix and change colour so that you end up with several shades. The flowers are made using the Heartfelt Creations rose stamp layered up. The list of stamps used is at the bottom of this post.<br />

I have been playing with one of the new stamps from Crafty Individuals,<a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/new-products"> CI 452</a> Natures Beauty, love this one as it can be cut up as well as layering parts of the design I have gold embossed the image and coloured with watercolour twinkling H20s. The frame I got for a £1, its started life as grey, I used black gesso and dry brushed aqua paint and then added treasure gold to highlight the details on the frame.<br />
Don't forget you still have a couple of weeks to enter the challenge at <a href="http://craftyindividualsblog.blogspot.co.uk/">Crafty Individuals</a>, the theme is anything goes.<br />

Afternoon fellow bloggers, can't believe the last time I shared a card was at Easter, what happened to April, although my mojo has taken a dip of late, I did go to Paris for a weekend when it was the Version Scrap show, thoroughly enjoyed myself but so wish I spoke French as the show was a real treat for scrap bookers, most of the stalls had make and take projects to do and there were some lovely projects being made.Mind you it was seriously busy with queues to get on the stands and then another to pay, it was just how a show should be, I picked up some great magazines although they are in French they have some really good instructions for layouts in fact I have subscribed to one called Histoire de Pages.<br />
<br />
Todays card is for the challenge at<a href="http://craftyindividualsblog.blogspot.co.uk/"><i><b> Crafty Individuals</b></i></a>, the theme is ......<i><b>anything goes</b></i>. Don't forget to use a product from Crafty Individuals and you will get a code fr a whopping 25% off your next purchase. I have used one of the new stamps<a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-c1/elements-plates-multi-stamps-c7/crafty-individuals-ci-451-inky-borders-art-rubber-stamp-96mm-x-135mm-p744"> CI 450</a> called inky borders, I love this little film strip, which is one of three stamps in the set. I have used mini images from the image book People and Places which is on offer at just £1.45 for inside the film strip and the little frame. For the main background I have stencilled and spritzed adding micro beads and thread for extra texture, actually the mica sprays I picked up at the French show for just 3.50 euros, a bargain. The background behind that layer was brayed with fresco paints and the I used a script stamp to randomly stamp over.<br />

My son and daughter brought me some copics for mothers day and I have added a few more to my collection so I have been busy playing with them this is my first effort with a very limited colour palette.<br />

Evening to my fellow crafty bloggers, thought I would share with you the canvas that I did with Anna Dabrowska the other week, as soon as I saw the project I knew the photo that I wanted to use, it's a lovely head shot of my daughter at her wedding, and she had a lovely silver metal slide for her hair which is just peeking out from below the crown of flowers, she has hung this canvas on her wall.........so I guess she liked it.<br />
We created an imaginary dress using lace and resist canvas, and then I added lots of metallic embellishments, buttons and flowers and after painting everything with white Gesso I then used three different coloured sprays and some of the new metallic acrylic which I dry brushed onto some of the embellishments. the drips were made with a glue gun and then I used a pencils to outline the edges of the drips to give them more definition<br />

The challenge at <a href="http://craftyindividualsblog.blogspot.co.uk/">Crafty Individuals</a> this month is called a <i><b>Box of all sorts</b></i>. I have used a template from The House of Zandra, called alter me display box to make this, I have used quite a few different stamps sets from Crafty Individuals, as well as embossing, frantage, crackle glaze, to complete this, the finished size is 5.25 ins x 9.25 ins. The paper is Victorian roses by Make and Create which I picked up from The works for a snip at just £4 for a 12 x 12 pad.<br />

On the Saturday we made this lovely album which is one of the new journal albums from Prima, thrilled to bits with it and there are pages, pockets and acrylic sleeves left to decorate, which is the excuse I have been waiting for to start mixed media journalling.<br />

This week is half term week and that means double trouble in the form of my two Grandsons, today we went to a play centre where they played and generally wore themselves as well as me out.<br />
<br />
Todays card is one I made as a commission, which I always feel nervous about doing as I'm always worried that they might not like it. the heart is a stamp from Creative expressions, which I embossed and then cut the heart out again to layer it up.<br />

Afternoon fellow crafty bloggers, are you ready for Valentines Day next Sunday, we are starting to get busy at work, although it only seems like five minutes ago since it was Christmas, I have made another card which could be for Valentines or an Anniversary using my favourite stamp collection from Chocolate Baroque called <a href="http://www.chocolatebaroque.com/harlequin-rose-unmounted-rubber-stamp-sheet-a4.html">Harlequin Rose</a>. I embossed the image with cosmic gold embossing powder and then water coloured in the image with Twinkling H2Os adding lots of water to allow the colours to really blend well, I love this technique as the colours soften but still shimmer, but you do need a good quality watercolor paper to do it. I stamped the background paper with a pearlescent gold from Wow, and the sentiment was embossed in gold and coloured in using the same paints.<br />

I had a fabbie weekend, I had brought tickets for my hubby and son for Christmas to go to the Classic Rock show at Birmingham town hall, so on Saturday we were rockin' in the aisles, such a brilliant band of musicians and will definitely be going again next year.<br />
My card for today features the new stamp set of trees just released from Crafty Individuals<a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/new-products"> CI 450</a> Listen to the trees.<br />
I stamped the larger trees on acetate for the box and then embossed the smaller ones for around the sides. I used the Spring time paper pad, and finished off with stamping out some flowers using <a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/search/flower-heads">CI 445</a>, it was rather hard to photograph this with the trees on acetate so apologies.<br />
