Miss Muu Muu

It has been awhile since I have posted anything. I have been looking after my DH. He is feeling much better and will soon be having his lung operation. The sooner the better I say.
Don't you just love Miss Muu Muu the cow.
I have made a very simple card and colored her with Promarkers.

The whole card.

It's been soooo long

Hi blogger friends!

It has been so long since I have posted anything. As a few of you know my hubby Doug's cancer has spread again. Talk about bad luck huh! Only six months since I had a tumor removed from my lung and now Doug has two on the same lung. I promise you it is not catchy LOL. Anyway we are both in very good spirits and still having a good laugh. Well I am. Doug has also got shingles poor bloke. Very painful stuff. I just hope it goes before his operation.

At the moment I am working on 80 wedding invitations as well as name plates for the tables. also helping my sister Sheryl make bookmarks for a charity so my stuff has been put on hold for now.

I'm afraid everyone will forget who I am if I don't craft something soon LOL. Yikes!

I'm missing my blog but first things first and Doug is my top priority at the moment. See you all soon.....I hope.

Hugs Maz

Boobie Love

Today I have used another image from Saturated Canary called "Boobie Love". She was given as a freebie by Krista in honour of those who have had or have breast cancer. I am a survivor and that is why I have the survivor tag. I pray that others who are going through treatment for this hiddeous disease will also be survivors.
I have colored her with my Promarkers.
I also used DooHickey dies from Magnolia. The Romantic tag and the picket fence.

                             I wasn't happy with the picture quality. 

I really need new camera or lessons to use it to it's best advantage.

Paper from my stash.

Saturated Canary Easter card

Today I have a Saturated Canary Card. Her name is Murray. It is another criss cross card. I really like making them. They are very easy. I have colored her with my Promarkers. No DP's this time but I do
have a little embossing. I added cheesecloth that I got from WOC. The little die cut on the top of the tag is a Spellbinders one.  I used my baby sewing machine again. It doesn't sew very straight...then again it could be the operator LOL.
I hope you like her.

Easter Blessings

My first Easter card for the year. Hopefully I can get a few more done in time to post.
This is the first time I have made one of these criss cross cards. They are so much fun.
I have colored Tilda with Promarkers. Sorry the pictures are not as clear as I would have liked.
My computer is getting fixed over the weekend so I wanted to get this on before the computer doctor takes it.

I errased the name on the inside. That's what that blob is LOL.

Happy Valentine's Day

I am having a wonderful week. I had my CT scan last week and there were no tumours to be seen. I have been feeling much better except for a flu I developed. I am at the end of it now so was able to make a Valentine's Day card. Thank you so much everyone that has prayed for me. You are all so kind and caring.

This card was fun to make. I colored Tilda with my Promarkers and flexmarkers.
I will enter this card in the Magnolia-licious Highlites challenge Blog. Patti Jo has challenged us to make Vintage and Shabby Chic. I hope this qualifies.

I will also put it in the Promarkers Challenge Blog    They want Love is in the air.

 As you probably know I don't usually go into challenges very often so to go into two is a big deal for me LOL.

Tilda with Peony Tail take two

Hi!
My card today is Tilda with Peony tails again. She is from the Magnolia Stamps. This time I have colored her hair black. I colored her with Promarkers. The papers I used are from a Basic Grey pad and are called Hello Luscious. They are nice and bright. Just how I am feeling today. I used a spellbinder tag for the embellishments and added half pearls. I didn't feel to add any flowers to this one. I do need to work on the skin coloring as I think it is a bit too pale...Poor thing.

                                                                      A close up view.

I have entered her in the Magnolia-licious highlites challenge Blog     
Valentine inspired
And Simon Says Stamp challenge.anything goes 

Distressed Tilda

Hello again!
Today I have colored Tilda with distress inks. I am so out of practice and this one is the best of about twenty attempts. Not much to say about it really except that I really enjoyed getting back into using the distress inks.
 I am amazed at how you can get out of practice so easily. This one is for my dear friend. She knows who I mean. She has been waiting for me to put something new on my blog. Now that I am so much better I have no excuse to be slack.
I love this Tilda. She was a Christmas gift from another friend. I am such a lucky girl. This Tilda is called... Tilda with Flower Pot. She is so elegant with her cute coat. She would have it off if she lived in Australia....Phew!! is it hot?

A sort of close up of her....not too close though. Don't want to show too many flaws LOL.

Getting game...a little bit closer.

Tilda with Pony Tails

Here we are into another year. Happy New year to all my followers and I pray that 2012 will be a healthy prosperous and happy year for you all.
I am slowly getting better after my lung operation so I was able to make an easel card. I got a lovely Christmas card from a Maggie friend that used this die cut so I just had to have it to use myself.
It is a Marianne design Creatables. A really good size for the Magnolia stamps. The little heart pearls around the edges are Jewelry seals. (like what you would use to decorate your mobile phone). The flowers are handmade ones using punches from Fun expressions. I colored Tilda with pony tails using Promarkers and Flexmarkers.

                                         This is it opened

                                          A side view

                             A close up of the flowers
The flowers are very simple ones as I needed them to be quite flat for closing. The pearls in the middle are from Viva called a Pearl Pen. Color Ice white. Not sure about the black background. I thought it would show up the pale card better!!!
