Penny black Saturday challenge ....

The challenge over at Penny Blacks Saturday Challenge Is SUMMERTIME so thought I would do something a little bit different..
I've used 'Knapsack Corner' which I coloured with Copics...A lot of people go walking on rambles in the summer so thought this would be ok for the challenge.
Using core'dinations paper I ran this through my Bigshot using a Creative Expressions Mask then sanded the paper...
Managed to find a walking boots button in my button box...and again I have been a bit 'sad' and used the waste bits from my Memory Box picket fence to create photo corners!
Its been too hot to be in my craft room so we have been out and about a bit, yesterday we had a lovely day down in Sidmouth, Devon with friends.....the weather was just glorious.

And there's more!.....

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather...
Haven't spent much time crafting over the last couple of days as its been too nice to stay indoors but I have got another card from my 'freebie' stamps to show you.
I've done some more  paper piecing which is so quick to to do..some of the backing papers are from a Craftwork Card paper pack the green spot one from my stash...Whimsey corner die and S.U. border punch also used.  The sentiment is also one of the freebie stamps.
Off to spend the day with friends down in Bournemouth today...

More 'Freebies'.....

Another couple of stamps from the free sheet with Creative Stamping....the focal image I have coloured with copics and mounted onto Spellbinders Wonky frames and the swirl of flowers is also coloured with Copics.  I did soften the edges of my main image but then decided she looked better without even though there is quite a lot of white around her.
Backing paper is from S.U. and so is the embossing folder, Whimsey corners and craftwork card sentiment.
Its certainly too nice to stay indoors today so might do a little bit of gardening before it gets too hot...
Have a good day...

Freebie stamps.....

I don't normally buy many craft magazines but Jill over at Jill Quills emailed to say that Creative Stamping this month were giving away a full A4 sheet of Vintage types stamps....so I went hop foot down to my nearest stockist  and picked up a copy.
Jill was right there are some lovely stamps on the sheet so today I had to have a quick play and this is what a came up with using just 3 stamps from the sheet.
 Coloured my main image with Copics then did some paper piecing which I love doing and then mounted her onto a Spellbinders Floral Oval die. 
Backing papers are from S.U....after using the Memory Box Circle border die I decided I couldn't throw away all those little  waste circles from the die so used them to make faux brads with. 
Isn't it lovely to see the sunshine...it makes you feel so much better..


Thanks for popping by...

The Open Sea....

Well we have been on holiday for 2 weeks holiday and Mr Blogger behaved himself by posting my scheduled posts. I am sorry for that I wasn't able to visit everyones blog while away....
After doing all the washing and ironing and some of the dreaded housework I finally got into my craft room and had some time to have a quick play with some new Stampin Up goodies.
This is a set call The Open Sea.
Stamped in brown and black Momento, I used two different size round circles to get the porthole look...found a chest and a ships wheel in my bits box.


I think everyones fed up with this awful weather and although we have had floods in our village it hasn't affected us thankfully...but at least you don't feel quilty crafting..lOl...lOl.


Thanks for stopping by and I do appreciate all your lovely comments and enjoy visiting your blogs too.
