A Thank You card

I have a little Thank You card to share with you today which I made using 'Butterfly Suzie' which is available here from Di's Digis.

I used a Cosmo Cricket backing paper and a gorgeous Ribbon from The Ribbon girl and I coloured the image with Promarkers. The sentiment is by Hero Arts.
I am entering this card into this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge as the theme is Thank You cards.

Loving this white stuff

A quick post today to show you a card I made using an adorable digi image from Di's Digi Downloads which is available here.

I used a paper from a new Bobunny stack which is available from The Funky Farm Scrapbook barn, a nesties Snowflake die which I topped with some flowers cut from tulle and a button from The Ribbon Girl.
Have a good Monday.

Shopping Spree for Sketch Saturday

I have been trying to be a bit more active the past couple of days and have made a gentle and gradual return to a bit of cardmaking in between rests. I had my physio appointment Friday and am all strapped up with tape. I promised myself I would make some card with some of Di's lovely images as soon as I could. I have been watching them all being added to her site over the past couple of weeks making a note of my favourites.

This 'Shopping Spree' image is so cute, I couldn't resist using her to make a card using the sketch from Sketch Saturday, I used Kraft paper recycled from a hanging file. I bought a big pile of them in a charity shop ages ago and they are a great colour and were a great find.


I cut strips from the Kraft card to follow the strips on the design. I embossed them with a Cuttlebug folder so they stood out bit more. The paper I used is from a beautiful Pink Paislee Father Christmas Stack I bought from Crafty Emma's Store. The papers in this stack have a lovely beautiful feel to them. They are all stunning colours too.


Here is a little close up of the image coloured with Promarkers. I had to cut the image out to stick over the oval shape as I didn't leave enough room around it when I was printing to cut it out...
I hope you have a great Sunday.

Santa's Delivery

It's been a little while since I have shared a card made with Di's wonderful digis. I absolutely adore this image. I think he is the perfect Santa!


He is available to buy here from Di's Digi Downloads along with so many other wonderful images.
The paper I used is from Crate paper and I teamed it with some of my favourite Bobunny Double dot card.
The buttons and ribbon are from my stash.
Have a great Tuesday!

Spooktacular wishes!

It's been a while since I have shared a card made using Di's wonderful digi images. I had some spare time yesterday morning before setting off for my day out with my Mum and Dad and made a Halloween card using Broomstick bear.

The papers I used are by My Mind's Eye and I used a very simple layout with a bit of stitching.
I added glitter to the star and glossy accents to the pumpkin. The sentiment is by Elzybells and the ribbon, button and twine are from The Ribbon Girl.
I am going to the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show today at Ally Pally, I can't wait to get there and spend some pennies, I don't have a list but have some things I am hoping to find...
Have a fabulous Sunday!

A Christmas card for Mum and Dad

It may seem a bit early to be thinking about Christmas but if you want to get organised Di has some lovely Christmas Digi stamps for you to play with!
I couldn't resist making a card with this cute couple of little bunnies!
They are available here from Di's Website. The papers are all last year's Papermania Christmas collection.


I love the shades of green in these papers, they are a bit different to the usual Christmas greens.
To make the card, I coloured the image and cut it out using my Nesties and layered it on to a scalloped circle.
I used 2 backing papers matted and layered on the card base and tucked a snowflake die cut behind the image before sticking it to the card with foam pads overlapping the top edge of the card.
I added some stickers to the bottom edge for the sentiment and a lovely gingham bow to finish the card off.
Have a lovely Sunday!

Bunny with a Bouquet!

Here's another bright and cheerful card made using one of Di's adorable animals. This bunny is so cute and is carrying a lovely big bouquet of roses and flowers.


I'm not sure where this backing paper came from, I think it was in a job lot I got at a Craft show. The little sentiment is Hero Arts and the ribbon was from my stash.
Have a lovely Saturday!

WOYWW - work in progress...

It's Wednesday again already! The weeks are flying by this year, it will be Christmas before we know it so it's lucky I made a Christmas card last night!

This was my desk when I finished working on a couple of Projects last night. I received 2 new release stamps from Squigglefly and I made one little Cupcake cutie into a quick shaped card and then I made a sample for Di's Digis website which will go in my basket as a start to making my family Christmas cards.
There is a new tin on my desk. I treated myself to a Cath Kidston buttons tin in the sale last weekend, I have the matching threads tin but refuse to buy them full price even though I LOVE anything Cath Kidston!
I hope you enjoy having a snoop around my desk. If you would like to see more desks and workspaces please pop over to Julia's blog for more and why not share a picture of yours too?
Have a great Wednesday and Jack says thanks for all his birthday wishes you sent him :-)

Happy Birthday Jack!

My baby is 11 today! I can remember so well being pregnant with him and waiting for him to arrive as he was 2 weeks late and ended up arriving very quickly the night before I was due to be induced. These past 11 years have just flown by and now we are preparing for him to go to Secondary school in September. My baby is all grown up!

Jack is footie mad, he goes to watch Reading at every home game with his footie mad Dad and plays for a local team so I spend most Saturday mornings on the edge of the pitch and I still don't have a clue what is going on most of the time! It's so much more complicated than paper and glue!
To make Jack's card I used papers from the Smirk for him range and an adorable image from Di's Digis.
I kept the layout simple and used letters from Prima and My little Shoebox for my sentiment. The ribbon and football button is from my stash.
Here is a photo of my Jack looking cool and dudey on his way to his school prom last week.

So cute and looks so cheeky! No wonder he gets away with so much mischief!
Have a lovely Tuesday! I will save you a piece of birthday cake :-)

A cute bear from Di's Digis...

Di is continuously releasing gorgeous images of cute animals and I adore this little Heartfelt Daisy bear!
I made a quick card with a simple layout and added some stitching in bright purple thread to add a bit texture. I used some lovely backing paper from American Crafts which has a great Summery feel to it. The little sentiment which was stamped on to a tag is by Elzybells and I added a Prima flower topped with a pale blue button as a finishing touch.
Have a great Thursday!

A card for a 'Cool Brother' and a freebie.

I had a play last night with my Promarkers and papers and made a card for my oldest Son to give to his younger Brother for his birthday at the end of the month.

I used an image from Di's Digi Downloads called 'On the bench'. Jack is footie mad and this little boy actually looks like him a little and the little dog is like our Puppy Charlie.
Make sure you check out Di's blog as she has an adorable freebie for you this month.
I used a spotty backing paper from the DCWV Safari Stack and coloured the image to match it.
The ribbon is from Hobbycraft and the letters are Making memories and My Little Shoebox.
Have a lovely Monday!

Happy 60th Birthday Mum!

It's a very special day today! My lovely Mum is 60! Happy Birthday Mum! The two of us had a girly day out in London last Friday and I took her out for a meal and to see Mamma Mia, it was the perfect girly day out and we laughed and cried and ate lovely food and even managed to go around the National Portrait Gallery and do a bit of shopping. I will treasure memories of that day forever, it could not have been more perfect!

I can finally share the card I made for my Mum, my Mum loves cats and is very glam so this 'Party time' image from Di's Digis was just right for her card. I used DCWV papers and American crafts thickers in shocking pink to make the card really pretty and girly, The flowers are from Prima and Hobbycraft


To go with Mum's card, I made her a circle album in matching papers. I added masses of pretty pink flowers to the cover of the book.


I added black and white photos of my Mum, my Nan and Grandad and my Dad and flowers and other pretty things I found in my stash. I love the photos of my Mum in her dress and bonnet, she looks like a little doll.

My Mum and Dad went on a Cruise recently and my Dad sent me some photos of them so I could add them to the album.

My Mum and Dad have gone away to Stratford-on-Avon for her birthday and she has taken this with her to open, I will be speaking to her later...I hope she likes it as much as I enjoyed making it!
Thanks for stopping by and sorry this post was so long!
Have a great Thursday!

No1 bear

I have another Men's card to share with you today, the colours of the Doodlebug papers I used for yesterday's card really inspired me so I decided to make another card with them. For this card I used the 'No1 bear' digi stamp available here from Di's Digi downloads.

I printed the image onto textured cardstock and coloured it with Promarkers before cutting it out. I added glossy accents to the centre of the rosette and the bear's nose. The layout is vey simple and I used up some of the scraps left from my previous card. The letters I used are by Papermania as is the button and the pearl is by Prima. I have really enjoyed using these Doodlebug papers and I have lots left so expect to see more of this colour combo soon!
Have a lovely Tuesday!

A present from Kitty

I have the cutest little Kitty card to share with you today. I used the 'Present from Kitty' image which is available here from Di's Digi Downloads. Di has such a talent for creating cute little Characters and I absolutely adore this little cat.

I used bits and pieces from my scaps box (my halo is shining!) to make this card so I am not too sure who the patterned papers is from. I coloured the image with Promarkers and then followed a very simple layout to put the card together.
I layered the image on 2 lots of Nestie shapes to create an interesting frame for it. The ribbon is from my stash as are the flowers and gems and the sentiment is by Hero Arts.
I hope you have a lovely Saturday!

Sketch and Stash Challenge with Di's Digis

I have a card to share with you today made with 'Beer Bear' from Di's Digi Downloads. I adore this cute little snoozing bear and he is perfect for those hard to make Men's cards.
I coloured him using Promarkers to match these lovely Making Memories papers which I bought a while ago in the Range and have only used one sheet of. They are great for Men's cards and I love the soft muted tones.
I decided I would follow the Sketch and Stash Challenge sketch to make my card as it is a lovely clean and simple design. I cut all the paper pieces and inked the edges before layering them on to the card.The sentiment was printed using a font I downloaded from the Web and cut it out using a Nesties label die.
Here is the lovely sketch to follow this fortnight. I replaced the flowers with American Crafts buttons tied with string.
I had a lovely day off work yesterday and went down to Swindon to see my Parents and my Nan who will be celebrating her birthday on Monday, we popped to the Outlet Centre so I nipped in to the Papermillshop to stock up on plain cardstock. I am hoping to have another go at organising my stash this long weekend, whenever I start I always end up abandoning my efforts as I find some forgotten stash I just HAVE to use!
Have a lovely Saturday!

I picked you some flowers...

I have a card to share with you today using one of Di's adorable images. This cat is just adorable and is available from Di's Digi Downloads. I experimented by printing him on some different textured card for a change and I quite like the effect.

I used papers I bought at my local Craft shop but cannot remember who they are from. I added a bit of stitching and some ribbon and the flower is made up with mostly Prima flowers. I made this card last weekend, I have not really done much crafting this week as I have been feeling dizzy and light headed and I have now managed to catch the eye infection my Son was suffering from last week so I have not really been in the mood to craft. We are off out today to High Wycombe to a couple of National Trust properties and to enjoy the sun, hopefully we may find a carbootsale on the way there.
I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

Matt on his Skateboard and the winner of Jane's Tulips

Phew! It has been a busy weekend! I was planning on posting this a lot earlier but this is the first chance I have had. I am always on the lookout for good images for boys and this one from Di's Digis is adorable.
It reminds me of my little Jack, full of mischief!

To make the card, I used American crafts star paper which I matted on to orange card. I added some orange rafia and cut a frame from blue card for Matt to sit in. The image was coloured with Promarkers and I cut it out and added it with foam pads. The sentiment was stamped into a star die cut from stripey paper and as a finishing touch I added a star charm tied to the to the die cut frame and a couple of turquoise pearls.

I picked a winner using random.or from all the comments on my post yesterday for Jane's new digi image and the winner is... Jenny!!!
Please can you email me to milliesmarvels@gmail.com and I will ask Jane to send you the image.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Birthday Cake Kaboodle

I have been having another play with Di's adorable Digis and have a Birthday card to share with you today which I made using the Birthday Cake Kaboodle image. I love gingham papers at the moment so I really went to town with them on this card and combined them with a lovely floral paper from the latest Henbury collection by Papermania.

I distressed the edges of the papers with Distress inks to give the card a shabby feel and cut out the image using some nesties I borrowed from my Friend. The flower is made from Woodware, Prima and Hero Arts blooms topped with a pink gem. I coloured the image with Promarkers and then added a touch of glitter glue for the icing. The sentiment is by Hero Arts and was cut out with another Nestabilities label shape.
Have a lovely Saturday, I am off for some Retail Therapy with my Mum at the Outlet Centre in Swindon, I am going to be looking for a couple of dresses and I may just pop in the Papermill shop!
