So i made these a couple of weeks ago. The bottom one is using a new stamp from Whiff of Joy.
And as always coloured with my promarkers lol

Inspired!

I was inspired to make these 2 cards by the new magazine i posted earlier, it's a lonng time since i made a card with out any images on them....quick and easy !!!
All the chipboard came from a QVC kits yonks ago.

New magazine

There are a couple of new mags on the market this one and one for scrapbooking, and i like them.....might even start my scrapping again lol
Modern creative cards and very little advertising !!!!!

Been a while !!

Sorry it's been a while since i posted but mil has been very poorly and she has been our main focus what with hospital visits etc, but i hope to start posting again on a regular basis!
On the forum i go on this weeks friday challenge was to use a duck on your card, so i coloured up this stamp i have had with my promarkers and made this card, will put a sentiment on when i am ready to send it.
