Tea cup Girl

Good morning, it's a lovely sunny day here. Shame about the snow up north though. I have not been on here for a while and have loads of catching up to do. I thought it would be nice to go with the sunshine and post this. The stamp is Scarlet the teacup girl from Stamping Bella which I have coloured using promarkers. The paper is Papermania capsule collection.

Decoratin' the tree

At last, I have managed to get another card ready to post. I have been so busy these last few weeks, my leg is slowly getting better and on the advice of my physio I have invested in an exercise bike - I could do with the excercise anyway. I have also been allowed to start driving again after 5 months - such a relief to be able to go out on my own although the first time was really scary. Anyway enough chit chat, here is my latest offering  

As you can see I have used a Lili of the Valley image which I have coloured with promarkers and the papers are from the Silent Night collection from Papermania.

The snowflakes and his hat are quite sparkly but the photo doesn't do it justice.

Even in this close up it is hard to see.

This is my first ever attempt at putting a picture on my blog, hopefully I've not made too much of plonker of myself.

I have used two Penny Black stamps and the sketch from this weeks Friday sketchers.

The first post

Hi, this is my first attempt a writing a blog.

My name's Jackie, and I love card crafting. I am at home at the moment recovering from a knee injury ( I tripped and have a fractured tibial plateau). I'm nearly recovered and have only just found out about blogging. I hope you find my blog interesting and visit again soon. Hugs, Jac
