KRIMBO KITTY

Hello Peeps - long time no speak !! :-D

I have been working away at this end making cards for orders and not really getting much time for anything else. I haven't even sent my own cards yet ! Everything will be late anyways as we have another lot of strikes in Athens, so no boats, no supplies etc. etc. so all our post will be late coming in and going out.... again !!!!! I actually went into the supermarket yesterday and there was NO meat !  First time I have ever seen that :-(

Anyhoo - I snagged a great Krimbo kitty freebie - "MEOWY CHRISTMAS " - in my newsletter from THE EAST WIND and have coloured him up in non-traditional colours. I found a lovely packet in my stash which is from Papermania - it's called ' Contemporary Christmas ' and is all lilac and grey :-)

I will show you some of my card orders a bit later - probably at the weekend, when I have a bit more time !

******  p.s.  I have a mystery...... I received this package that was posted from NORTH CHARLESTON, USA at the end of October and it contains Halloween goodies but as you see, it has been torn open at the top left corner and the sender's details are not all there. There is no name inside and I don't know who to thank !!!    ******

I'M BACK AGAIN !!

Good morning Peeps and I hope you are all well. I am back again after having some surprise visitors for a couple of days and I have really had such a wonderful time. People I haven't seen for about 28 years !!!!! :-D
So - feeling bright and chipper this morning, I was browsing the Challenges and was inspired to create....... so I made this.........

It's one of those 'Slider', 'Roller', 'Spinner' thingies.... whatever you call it - I can't remember LoL

The image is from The East Wind as I was inspired to join their latest Challenge.

When I saw the Blog title I got a certain song in my head -  which will probably be with me all day - but I sung out loud to it whilst creating this card Hahahaha :-D

I think he's listed as a Rat, but hey - it's my card right ?!! LoL

He does actually roll along but you obviously can't photograph the movement :-) I coloured him with Spectrum Noir pens and Derwent pencils.

I used lots of snippets from my cuttings box to make the card and a couple os little Greek coins.

Thanks for popping in. I will be back again at the weekend to publish some of my latest card commission creations but I have to get the images off my camera first. ! This new computer system that I have doesn't do it the way I'm used to so it takes me a bit of fiddling about !!!

COLOURING UP AND CRAFTING A NEED :-)

Hi Sunday Peeps,

I have been playing with my Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens yesterday and I also went shopping for a few digis. :-)

I have been reading a lot of books recently, and numerous times I thought to myself...... "Isn't it a fantastic thing to be able to read !!" ?  Something I totally take for granted because I just do it, but I was enjoying my books so much that I was thankful that I could read :-D  Anyhoo - it brings me on to my latest creation, because my old bookmark blew into the pool, so I needed a new one and I found the perfect image.

This is one of my new acquisitions - she is from The East Wind and is called "The Bookaholic". I used plain beige card and a piece of very old book page behind her edged with inks.

I am going to laminate it, but I wanted to take a decent photograph first as the shine of the laminate will probably naff it up !!! :-D

The sentiment is a quote from Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), a Roman philosopher/politician ...........

"A room without books is like a body without a Soul ".

Well, I am off for some more creating. Thanks for dropping by xxx

COLOURS OF YOUR COUNTRY

Hello Peeps,
Here I am with colouring up a FREEBIE from THE EAST WIND which comes if you subscribe to their NEWSLETTER.
I coloured her with a mix of Promarkers and Copics and then made a background with a Greek flag, some butterflies and a Greek Key border. I attached some ribbon on the corner and a stick pin with a 'Greek Eye' bead.
I cut around the image and mounted her with foamies. :-)

Thank you UNKY for this lovely freebie. xoxox
