Placemat Snowman

I often check out the Saturday Inspiration challenge at Splitcoaststampers and the inspiration website stays open for days and no inspiration hits. Well this weekend I was inspired by this cute snowman and the High Hopes snowmen I have came to mind. Some Copic colouring, paper piecing, doodling and background colouring with Pan Pastels - this is my card


One more to add to my 2015 collection.

Please Hop along with us!! You have a chance to win one of these new stamp sets! Just comment on the following blogs ( don't forget this one ) each day for more chances to win! ( You do NOT need to comment on on all the blogs each day! The names are drawn randomly.) The winners will be announced on June 26, 2015 right here on the MFP Stamp Shop Blog. You can go back and comment if you missed a day. ( HINT: The more you comment the more chances you have to win. And comments on the MFP blog count twice. ) The deadline for commenting is Friday June 26, 2015 at 10:00 PM EST.

This is my last hop with MFP. I joined before it was a Heinrich company so it's been a while. I am sorry to be leaving completely, as this was never my intention. The closing of the FOSTV challenge following close on the heels of my decision to step down from the senior team has led to this place. I will certainly enjoy playing with all the other stamps I have accumulated.

I have added some other cards today to liven up my final MFP post.

 This is my card with today's set using some marbled paper I created some time ago.

 This is my card for F4A278 using Umbrellas and Fans. I used some Birthday wrapping which I saved from March.

This card uses the Calendar set and Brushos with sketch SC545


This is my favourite card this month. I used Huge Blooms with Copics and the sketch SC545.

Enjoy the Hop. Come on back soon to see the next chapter of my creative life!

Sorry just one outfit - Chuck will go in a shoe box and no war type stuff allowed.


I have added some more interesting eye candy too in the way of a card made for an upcoming Birthday. I have used TLC539 (Latch Card) and CAS330 (Stars / Stripes) as my inspiration along with the Island Life set.

Brusho Cards

Added these to my Splitcoast Gallery earlier this week but decided as they have had a good number of comments I would share them here too. They both use Brushos - a technique I am still learning.

CAS328 - House Move

My sister in law and brother in law move house tomorrow from a 3 bed house to a bungalow. They have had lots of work done up front and also been able to shift things gradually so it should be a comparatively easy move. This is the card I made today for them using MFT stamps and a New Home sentiment from MFP. Memento inks and Copics were used.

Thanks for checking by.
