I found some...


Good morning everyone how was your weekend anything exciting happening...we didn't get up to much at all really just a quick visit into town for nothing exciting (that's unless you call light bulbs exciting)...I was having a bit of a search of my craft room though and I found four small sheets of my last paper pad so happy days at least I could have a colour and know the inks would spread well anyway...I will just have to scrap the last pad I think, it sticks in my throat a bit though as they are super expensive and I hate wasting things like that...I was thinking though (always a dangerous idea lol) maybe I should cut a bit of a sheet and send it into the manufacturers and see what is wrong with it...might be worth a shot don't you think...thank you all so much for your get well wishes for my poor Dads eye, it spread across his face a little but I'm pleased to say its now clearing up so at least no more freaking out when I look at him thank goodness lol...btw let me know if you think my colouring is a lot better with these old papers than with the rubbish ones, I think it is but it might be wishful thinking...anyway onto my card for today which is using a bit of the old paper to colour...this little cutie is of course from Mo's Digital Pencil...isn't she so so beautiful and I love the toy rabbit don't you...shes called Em Praying and I used my distress inks to colour her...the lush papers are from the Kaisercraft - Bundle of Joy 6.5"x6.5" Paper Pad from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I love the soft gentle colours in this pad don't you...I added a huge bow made from Organza Ribbon - Dark Green (25mm Wide) ,a heart embellishment I found in a box and a few pearls from the Mixed Bag 3mm Flat backed Pearls to finish...the fab sketch is from the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 challenge and I'm also entering it for the Crafty Calendar Challenge, Sister Act Challenge and Papertake Weekly Challenge too...I have a few things to do today so its out and about for me...best get the war paint on...whatever your up to today have a good one and wherever you are I hope your safe and dry

  8. Hi Mina, another super cute card hunny. What paper do you colour on? I use Bristol Board with the DIs, and occasionally you get a rogue pad - I complained to the makers but they simply brushed me off with a "take it back to the retailer" comment. I wasn't best pleased. xx

  11. Hi Mina, love this sweet card, and this wonderful image. Love those design papers, it's so hard to get papers with tiny images on for cards. Such pretty colours and added embellishments. Great card and thanks so much for sharing it this week over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and good luck.
    Hugs
