<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's printed on a lovely linen effect paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello again, I'm back today with some catch up cards,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as I had such a long blogger holiday I thought I would share some cards that I made a little while ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There maybe a few peeps that may have seen this card previously on Samuel taylors Facebook page </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicTDn8lGcIDAv5_q5iFrXqL0yNlbNuCb2h1Sf_sWG4ldDm5UpyP0WAorPh6jbWpcx7ltIVmvIMKoTmkHll7X7NMk0cho3K1krrT4Qcb8gWIqhtvdgBmhuyK-dT8v3N5qjPLt68XKhCWtqF/s1600/because.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicTDn8lGcIDAv5_q5iFrXqL0yNlbNuCb2h1Sf_sWG4ldDm5UpyP0WAorPh6jbWpcx7ltIVmvIMKoTmkHll7X7NMk0cho3K1krrT4Qcb8gWIqhtvdgBmhuyK-dT8v3N5qjPLt68XKhCWtqF/s1600/because.jpg" height="640" width="554" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little step away from Less is more today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The image is a Marianne D stamp called "sitting"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The papers are Kaisercraft <a href="http://www.samueltaylors.co.uk/kaisercraft-12x12-patterned-paper-tea-break-sugar-cookie.ir?cName=papercraft-new-in-kaisercraft">"Tea break"</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fence is a Memorybox die <a href="http://www.samueltaylors.co.uk/memory-box-die-picket-fence.ir?cName=papercraft-die-cutting-memory-box-embellishments">Picket fence</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Window is a Marianne craftables die "arched window" CR1259 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flowers are <a href="http://www.samueltaylors.co.uk/spellbinders-diedlites-blooms-03-three.ir?cName=papercraft-new-in-diecutting-embossing">Spellbinder D-Lite Blooms three</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my weekend flew by, I ended up spending the most part of it decorating, not my favourite job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm desperate to move my craft" stuff " in to the smaller bedroom and really wanted a warm bright cheery colour, so i decided on the yellow in the only picture i could find online,you can just see it through the door lol...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfM2YGqNzekPJJyNQdAc2ay9vR1HyDsKBtUmbCWthka5S7-kspHNsuIZ9ncCAQ4wbsiyLkTLudhvuB_p7S5i_MT_yrp49ssY9jlBec94iVPsSY14IIhMnpa_uL0oNj6aR6Ya10xwmxWLQf/s1600/sunrise.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfM2YGqNzekPJJyNQdAc2ay9vR1HyDsKBtUmbCWthka5S7-kspHNsuIZ9ncCAQ4wbsiyLkTLudhvuB_p7S5i_MT_yrp49ssY9jlBec94iVPsSY14IIhMnpa_uL0oNj6aR6Ya10xwmxWLQf/s1600/sunrise.jpg" height="320" width="277" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was tempting to go for the aqua but yellow won....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cant wait till it's finished!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My crochet is coming along slowly, I do seem to get myself in a tangle with yarn and find it hard keeping track of where I am in a pattern, I guess that's me trying to run before I can walk but I'm hoping perseverence will pay off eventually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd love to make a granny square cushion in cream ,sunny yellow and aqua, bit like the colours in this photo, to go in my craft room,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so watch this space, I'll share a photo or two of how it's going, you might have a little wait though lol... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I hope you're having a good week,<br />
I'm dashing now to catch the new series of The great British sewing Bee<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Morning everyone, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a quick card to share today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEFh-9AC78zzm84lvP7Pv4lf4F7oeBBdzi0JAY1MISEn8ieqFV-aL8lhLWj-G-RqPNGOgdWJOyXT0QU8_LLAbjMEQG9bbZcedR3pg4jxR4f8tAzkj5zSeOh2qz-6WNxYEmCfX1ZhY_I22F/s1600/Hi+friend2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEFh-9AC78zzm84lvP7Pv4lf4F7oeBBdzi0JAY1MISEn8ieqFV-aL8lhLWj-G-RqPNGOgdWJOyXT0QU8_LLAbjMEQG9bbZcedR3pg4jxR4f8tAzkj5zSeOh2qz-6WNxYEmCfX1ZhY_I22F/s1600/Hi+friend2.jpg" height="640" width="476" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's another image from the Paper smooches chubby chums set....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a Darcie embossing folder to create the tree bark and ran walnut stain distress ink over the top to highlight the pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The banners are created using this Die-namics die<a href="http://www.samueltaylors.co.uk/dienamics-dies-fish-tail-banner.ir?cName=papercraft-new-in-diecutting-embossing"> here.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you have a lovely weekend,<br />
me I plan to have a chill out day, nice hot bath, then a little crafty time<br />
including this....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Good morning....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and "Happy Valentines day"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's card I'm sharing is the card I made for my other half :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sBmmlBgNl1w/Uv3DoWIBfSI/AAAAAAAACek/Zoo0vR1jNig/s1600/lovedog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sBmmlBgNl1w/Uv3DoWIBfSI/AAAAAAAACek/Zoo0vR1jNig/s1600/lovedog.jpg" height="640" width="618" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's definately a "Less is more" card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so tempting for me to keep adding bits and bobs to a card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I've found I'm leaning more towards simple designs lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a <a href="http://www.samueltaylors.co.uk/memory-box-die-large-parker-uppercase-alphabet-set.ir?cName=papercraft-die-cutting-memory-box-alphabets">Memorybox alphabet die </a>to cut the word love and used the negative as my base card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
layering pretty polka dot paper underneath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The XOXOXOXOXO border is from one of my favourite cuttle bug folders, Hugs and kisses, <a href="http://www.samueltaylors.co.uk/cuttlebug-embossing-folder-a2-hugs-kisses-border.ir?cName=papercraft-new-in-diecutting-embossing">here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the little dog is from Paper smooches stamp set Chubby chums.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sentiment is also from a Paper smooches set, LOVE their font!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So have a "Happy Valentines day"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( thank you for your comments, it's so nice to see familiar faces and new ones too)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love Katy</div>

This card reminds me that spring is not too far away now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little flowers are from a cuttlebug die I have had in my stash since my early days of cardmaking</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've no idea what it's called but it seemed perfect for this card....<br />
I've added little drops of Ranger white enamel to the center of each flower.<br />
and added detail dots with the ultimate white pen...I love my<a href="http://www.samueltaylors.co.uk/uniball-signo-gel-pen-white.ir?cName=papercraft-winter-scene-hanging-panel-project"> uni ball signo pen </a><br />
It really is the best white pen, it's a bright white and the ink flows perfectly! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I colored the little lamb with the copic warm greys</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's such a cutie :)</div>

I have to admit this card was made a while ago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just not feeling very creative today, I think it may have something to do with the chaos in my craft room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So a good tidy up is in order this afternoon I think?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently stumbled across Designed to colour's<a href="http://designedtocolor.blogspot.co.uk/p/current-issue_7419.html"> E magazine</a> ...it's a mag dedicated to colouring techniques primarily but it also has fab ideas and inspiration to draw from too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think colouring images is one of the most important elements and one most of us strive to perfect, well I know I do lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought I would take part in their first monthly <a href="http://designedtocolor.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/our-first-challenge.html">challenge</a> which is<i> rolled flowers</i> as featured in the latest magazine.<br />
<br />
The fab prize is 3 digis from the talented Krista at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SaturatedCanaryDigis">Saturated Canary</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just cut random circles and cut a spiral into them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have a quilling tool either so I rolled them around a pencil and hoped for the best...</div>

I'm fairly pleased with the result ?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A quickie post....I'm in the middle of sorting through and tidying up all my craft stash..I'm trying to be organised to make it easier to actually find what I need lol, a nightmare most of the time :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We now stock Stampingbella stamps at work...these have been a favourite of mine for some time, so thrilled we have them now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
The scalloped top to this card is actually one of the papers with a scallop design which I cut, inked and layered.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Coloured with Lyra polycolour pencils from <a href="http://www.pencils4artists.co.uk/index.php?cat=Lyra_Rembrandt_Polycolor_-_Singles">Pencils4artsists</a>..........yes I bought some a few weeks ago and dare I say LOVE them slightly more than Prismas, they blend better and the skin tones are great ! though there are more colours in the Prisma range..<br />
<br />
Dorcas gives a great comparison between the two on her blog <a href="http://dorcasdesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/lyra-vs-prismacolor.html">here </a></div>

Bleaughhhhhh...that's how I've been feeling since thursday with a 'orrible' sneezzy cold, always at a time when I'm my busiest mind you...how rude !!<br />
<br />
So I thought I would share a little randomness today...have been creative ( before the lurgy landed) and shall share once I get my brain back and remember to actually take photos of the cards before I take them in to work lol....<br />
<br />
So here are two photos of tattoos that I absolutely would have on my body if I was lucky enough ...I've toyed with idea of having one for ages but only get a REAL urge when I see art work of this standard and not just your run of the mill body art like pretty butterflies etc.....no disrespect to anyone if you have a butterfly tattoo :/<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6JJZNtqHJLk/T6fp2aieGCI/AAAAAAAACGc/wSmvKP2EIBU/s1600/403581_10150469169466524_33546001523_8394520_1683744381_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6JJZNtqHJLk/T6fp2aieGCI/AAAAAAAACGc/wSmvKP2EIBU/s400/403581_10150469169466524_33546001523_8394520_1683744381_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
When I first saw this my jaw dropped...it is simply gorgeous !! By the amazing <a href="http://www.davidcordentattoos.com/Site/Portfolio/Portfolio.html">David Corden</a> a tattoo of KuKula's amazing art who's work you can find <a href="http://www.kukulaland.com/">here </a><br />
<br />
and the second is a winner anyway cos it's Alice inspired ! This is by Jason Jacenko of<a href="https://www.facebook.com/696ink"> 696 Ink Tattoos</a><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
link<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01gmbvb/The_Bridge_Episode_1/"><b> here</b></a> to BBC iplayer ...I've linked to episode one by the way in case you haven't......... it's one of a few brilliant Danish crime dramas..like The Killing ( the original of that was Danish but the Americans did a pretty good remake and Those who Kill....I love Crime dramas and although they are subtitled don't let that put you off....well worth a watch.<br />
<br />
And finally whilst I was eating my breakfast in bed this morning .....believe me that happens rarely lol...I was catching up with last nights first episode of Planet Earth Live.<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00qj072/Planet_Earth_Live_Episode_1/">...here.....</a>. Awwwww those little bear cubs and the gremiln are so cute !<br />
<br />
So hope fully back to normal tomorrow with a card to share, enjoy what's left of the Bank holiday...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways I have been busy creating for work tonight...shall hopefully have pics to share with you tomorrow but in the meantime I wanted to share this lady's work<a href="http://dorcasdesigns.blogspot.co.uk/"> here</a>....Dorcas Designs is a blog I only fell upon last week, you know how it is one blog leads to another lol...well I was so impressed with Dorcas colouring skills with pencils ! She has some fantastic tutorials ...needless to say she is responsible for a purchase over the weekend of Lyra Rembrandt Polycolour pencils ! Sheesh like I really need any more but I HAVE to give them a go :)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's very rare that I have any idea how a card is going to pan out when I'm putting it together...are you the same ?.......... but this is one of them where I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think what I like about this card........and I'm my own worst critic so there's not may I do lol, is that it depicts my favourite time of year..Autumn....I love the cooler days and changing colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Yayyyy back in the land of blogging...yet again it's been so long since I posted but I've missed popping my cards on here, not only is it lovely to hear from my blogging friends but also it's such a good way to record what you've made....I have still been creating ( mainly for work ) just not sharing here ( slapped wrists lol ) So I'm hoping to put that right today with a card I made today on my day off from work.
