Challenged myself.....

Good Evening Everyone

OK, I'm writing this lil post for those of you that are not on Twitter and/or Facebook 

(namely my Auntie Sue and Elaine lol)

Last night I was colouring in (I can almost hear the gasps of shock lol), but this time, I challenged myself to see if 4 Pro Markers was enough to colour in an image and still achieve a lovely result... what do you think?

The image is a digi image by my new crafty friend, Sylvia Zet and I'm sure she won't mind me telling you that you can get here digi images here ... www.weestamps.com (You owe me one Sylvia lol)

I adore Sylvias style and beautiful artwork so, naturally, I have all of them! lol ;-)

So here are the fruits of my labour...

The image was coloured in using only 4, yep, 4! Pro Markers... which were Satin, Ivory, Vanilla and my trusty Sandstone.

Glittering was my forever favourite irridescent glitter, Glamour Dust.

And here is the card I made using the image...

The punches I have used can all be found on my website at www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk 

The heart is a Silhouette punch which is, naturally, on my website, but it has lots of tiny little hearts inside it too... one of my favourite heart punches ever!

The backing papers are also my own creation and can be purchased and downloaded straight away on my website ... just look at the 'Designed by Phill' category.

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it :-)

Happy Crafting!

As Promised....

Evening All (well, it nearly is!)

As promised, here are a few more layouts I did using the Serif Butterfly digikits that were a resounding success for me on Tuesday nights Pick of the day (thankyou to you all!)

I just know you'll love those kits as much as I do.

Hopefully they will give you a few ideas :-)

There is one from the Peppermint Creative set (in case you were lucky enough to get those too) 

Just one more thing, before I forget... I'm back on Ideal World next Monday (21st) for 2 hours of Craft o'clock, 5-7pm, and believe me, there are some brilliant bargains to be had! 

So hope you can watch :-)

Anyhoo, here are the layouts for you :-)

Happy Crafting!

Create & Craft Shows...

Good Morning Everyone

I now have my show times for my fabulous Serif Pick of the Day next Tuesday!

I am soooo excited to show you these kits, each and every one is beautiful in it's own right and I just know that they will have your creative juices flowing and those crafty fingers itching to get started!

I know that there are lots of new Serif Craft Artist Professional users out there because you all grabbed it when it was free recently! So I will make sure I spend time showing the basic tools and then the more advanced, so it's a good idea to record some of the shows so you can watch back...

I also have a couple of Hunkydory shows on Monday too! I'm covering whilst Anne-Marie is swanning about in Florida on her honeymoon... I know she'll be loving it and I'm not jealous at all (well, maybe a bit! lol)

Anyhoo, here are my show times... Wednesday is a bit confusing so I'll try and do it the easy way! lol

Monday 14th - 5pm and 7pm on Create & Craft with Hunkydory

Tuesday 15th - Serif POD Launch at 9pm and then 11pm on Ideal World

Wednesday 16th - Serif POD 8am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm (last chance) on Ideal World

Wednesday 16th - Serif POD 12noon, 3pm, 5pm on Create & Craft

Hopefully, I'll see you there!

Remember to email in to say Hi... I will give something away at the end of the pod... probably a collection of some of my samples and I'll be sure to sign them for you lol x

Here are a couple of layouts I've done as samples, to give you a taste of what's to come :-)

Happy Crafting!
