Ali, our 12 year old Staffi, has just gone on her last journey to the vet's. We have decided it's time to put her to sleep as the tumour that has been growing inside of her is giving her pain now and so the decision has been made. We all love you Ali and hope that you meet all our other pets that have been waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.
This is a Suspension Card I made this week. As you can see I have been trying out new ideas and things to do with cardstock. I'll add the tutorial for this one also, tomorrow.
I made this pop-up card for my bessie mate, Sarn to let her know I was thinking of her. I will be adding instructions tomorrow guys so you'll have to wait until then if you want to know how to make it... Watch this space!
Another of Dustin Pike's freebie dragons. I just love them so much. This one reminds me of Lianne's goth phase (full of attitude and spikey). I love the punk'd out teddy bear too. I used my Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the embossed web and ran it over with my Stazon ink pad. I then added some Anita's swirls in the corners and the 'Happy Birthday' greetings.
A great digital image from Mo's Digital Pencil. I love this dog, lovingly called 'Bismark'. This is one of many, so many of my friends are dog lovers, so they're all getting this one, or one like it, the colours vary along with the ribbon, but otherwise they're the same.
Was bored yesterday so I wanted to make something different to my usual square or A5 cards. I made this triangle card and coloured the whole thing in with my blue ProMarker pen and then stamped a Forever Friends image and cut it out and mounted it with foam pads. I made the sentiment myself, 'Blue without YOU!' and mounted it over some blue ribbon.
My friend Claire popped in to see me yesterday and she mentioned that she wanted a tattoo so we discussed it and came up with this. I drew this on her ankle with a marker pen and she loves it, so she's getting it done next week and has promised that once the scabbing has gone, she will allow me to photograph it again so that I can show you all the finished result. Doesn't it look great???
Free Digital Cherries for use with the Muffin.
I drew this muffin the other day and Lianne said 'why don't you offer it as a free digital image on your blog?' because I have been getting a lot of digital images both free and paid for recently. So I thought why not, if anyone wants it, feel free to right click as I haven't compressed it so you should be able to save it and re-size it. I'll add some cherries that I had also drawn to go with it and I'll make a card in the week sometime, showing you my coloured version if you want to have a go yourself...Enjoy.
Another favourite from Mo. This little hamster is sitting on a muffin nibbling away, just like Lianne's rat SOXY.
A close up of the Sending Hugs image that I created on my previous card. If anyone would like a copy of this, I would be happy to send the non-coloured image to them digitally so that it can be resized and used personally on your cards, email me at moonstone1405@hotmail.com with your email address or leave a comment below and I'll send it to you as soon as I can.
Sending Hugs. I really like this card and this image from Mo is just lovely. I handwrote the lettering at the bottom of the card as I wanted something special along the bottom and had nothing in my stamps that was a) large enough or b) appropriate. Thanks Mo x
This is a freebie from Mo. Lewis, my son, loved this image and said that Bronte reminded him of our Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Ali. So I made the card to look like a younger Lewis with his mate Ali. She's always hovering around him when HE'S eating cookies or biscuits too. Coloured in the image with my ProMarkers again and added some letters to spell out 'Ali and Me'. Lewis gave the card to my mum, who cried... bless. Poor Ali - she's still with us but very, very poorly.
A close up of this lovely little Pirate Dragon. 
This is the finished project. I coloured the image with my ProMarker pens, my Copics and my TomBow pens and then cut the image out using my nestabilities and my Big Shot. I then added some other cut outs and the greeting and mounted the image onto a larger scalloped circle in red to coordinate with the dragons waistcoat. I then highlighted certain areas with my white pencil and my white gel pen. I then added the background paper, the ribbon and the 'YO HO' from letters cut out using my Big Shot. Hope I've done Dustin proud. I love this card.
I know that some of you love owls and this is another freebie from Dustin. He is so sweet I just love the way this has been drawn.
This is another of Dustin's freebie dragons. I love them so much and thank Dustin for sharing them with me and others.
This is another of Dustin's freebie dragons. They're just too cute and I love the expressions on their faces. It's the cutest dragon I have ever seen (do you remember the Whimsical Dragons? I think that's why I like them so much, as they remind me of them).
This is a freebie from Dustin Pike's Blog. I just love his dragons (and so did Lewis, my son, which is why I had to make one of the images up on a card especially for him). Anyway, this little Fire Dragon was perfect for Lewis as he loves anything to do with firemen and I just loved colouring him in with my ProMarker pens (that's the dragon...not Lewis ha ha). I have a link to Dustin Pike's blog so pop over and have a look if you love this little chap as there is a new freebie this week. The writing on the left and the hearts were written and drawn freehand and the circle greeting was one that's been lying around in my collection for a while. We are proud of him as he just received a medal for being a 'Hat Trick Hero' in his football team at school. Well done baby!
Another great Penny Black stamp, perfect for a little new born baby. The stamped greeting is also Penny Black and I kept the lilac theme going by adding some lavender coloured flowers and gems.
