Passion for Promarkers.. in the garden

Wild Orchid.... Die or Punch

Colour Create...Pastels

off to the Local now for our tea, thought we would have a treat, :)

Catch you later Mau xx

This Blog Challenge will see me off....

Well no wonder they call them Challenges...... Not only is CAS out of my Comfort zone but... Now Chrissie and Mandi want a MANS card. Do they realise what they are asking of me....lol
I think this may have to be for my SIL in June... if not it would mean I had to make another mans card, and that would be the end of me :( I really need to get to grips with masculine cards as I freeze whenever I think of them. I do know that my SIL would not be pleased with ribbons, bows and flowers which is a shame...ha-ha
Anyway here is my entry for Less is More Masculine Challenge I will keep coming back girls ..you won't frighten me off :)) :)) Hugs Mau xx

Wow! Spring has Sprung : )

What a Gorgeous day! in fact what a gorgeous week, I really think Spring is here ladies. Doesn't it give you that feel good factor :)
I have however struggled with a very painful leg since Monday.. what I did I have no idea! I thought I had twisted my knee as I often do.. (its dodgy from an old injury) but this was the muscle area down the inside of the knee and I have not been able to walk for pain, or even lift my toes off the floor : ( moans over...lol

Now to better things.. Crafting, This is a card I have made for Create Colour Challenge greens/Browns etc Love green so this was a joy to create... that really is corny as You will see the Beautiful Image is Joy, I adore these images and can't wait to have them all.

I bought my first ever Copic markers at Harrowgate show on saturday and this is my first effort with them so hints and tips will be gratefully accepted. I think I need lots of practice!! I noticed I did forget to pink her lips :0 and I think she is a bit ROSY....lol

Have a Good day everyone, Mau xx

the quickest post ever.... & update

Hi everyone, so sorry this has to be quicker than quick, I need to be out in the next ten minutes. I hope to be able to upload my entry for Less is More..off the edge challenge but I am so slow at doing things its debatable as to if I manage before my bus comes..... Whew!!
I will be back later in day to catch up and tell you about the fun making this card.... if thats what I call 5 attempts.....lol Isn't it dreadful when you are determined to use a particular thing...in this case these stamps, but I made a hash of all attemps so this is the better one believe it or not..... titter titter. sorry picture isn't very good and my blowing leaves aren't really clear...typical :(

Hugs Mau xx

Ps thought I would post the other 5 attempts, even more than I thought....lol

Don't anyone say I am not persistant :)

One week today : ))

Well this time next week I will be with my lovely friend Irene At Harrowgate show, I have saved some pennies up and can't wait to get amongst all that lovely stash ...let me loose ...Whooo!

This Saturday however I am crafting... alone as Amanda has left for America :(

Here is my card today for Stampin Sisters In Christ, This week it was stamped flowers, I will be honest I struggled to find a flower stamp that I liked amongst my stamps ....reminder to myself when I go to Harrowgate :) I must look for some nice flower stamps.

Be back later to Blog hop xx Mau xx

Last time for 5 weeks :(

Hi Everyone,

Well been to say farewell to eldest daughter this morning as she will be off to USA tomorrow for five weeks or so. They are travelling from Daytona to Los Angeles, But have set up a Blog so I will be able to keep tabs on them........ well I am her mum after all. I need to check and make sure she isn't up to mischief...lol Oh! We are going to miss her dreadfully :(

So onto Crafting matters,

I have made the following card to enter into Less is More Pastel Challenge, It is quite lemon in real life but I am afraid it keeps wanting to come out more Mustard than it really is on photo's

I have to admit to being very pleased with it... I have always loved the CAS look and hope this is not toooooooo full to qualify.

I added the insert but have not added a Sentiment yet.

I may get chance to finish another for this challenge as I love to break away from my comfort zone now and again, Or I may go Blog hopping as there is some wonderful inspiration from everyone.

Huge Hugs To all. Mau xx
