I thought of you today

Hi!

I created this card for the Jane's Doodles blog today. I used our Garden Friends stamp set.

I coloured the images with markers (copics, le plume and graphit)...did some maksing...the tiny flower, grass and worm I added myself (I drew them in with a marker). The sentiment is a rub on (I don't use them very often but I do like the effect!).

I am just BUSHED! I've been helping out at my son's daycare yesterday and today....we're spiffing up the place for a special ceremony tomorrow...I've been sanding and painting benches and stuff.......with the sun beating down on me and the paint fumes...I'm a little off! LOL

But nothing like a good bowl of cherries that'll bring me back to life! These are from our tree! :)

mouth watering yet?? I wish I could 'email' some to ya'll! :)

I'm bushed!

Like seriously.....this is how tired I am!!! :)

true love

Hi!

So I'm poppin in with this card I created for my neighbour (she's going to a wedding). Since I don't have time to come up with something new I used one of the cards I created for my presentation at NB Hobby.

I used my Pretty Peonies stamp set, changed up the colours and added a button. I think it's pretty! :)

I'm working on lots of stuff...that I can't share right now...hopefully soon! :)

STILL waiting for our new stamps to arrive...think you'll LOVE them!

thank you

Hi!

Here's another card I created for my presentation at NB Hobby. I used my Pretty Peonies stamp set and coloured it with Copics and Graphit markers (which work together wonderfully!).

I also did a little tone on tone stamping for my background....love this blue cardstock! :)

Here are some more pictures from my presentation....I'm happy to say that I'll be back at NB Hobby again in June! :)

Have a great weekend!

you're a hoot!

Hi!

So here I am with another project I shared yesterday at NB Hobby's Happy Hour...did I mention that Jane's Doodles stamps are being sold there! :)

So this cute owlie is from our you're a hoot! stamp set. I coloured him using Copics and Graphit markers (a new brand to me, I believe it's a French brand, alcohol ink markers...they are new at NB Hobby and I'm loving them!)

So it rained yesterday....great I thought to myself...I'm already nervous as it is (never did any kind of workshop like this before...infront of strangers....Croatian strangers that don't stamp...who couldn't care for stamping)...so I get there and there's a group of ladies waiting to see what I got to show......

that's me...did I mention I use my hands alot when I talk! :)

 

..so my hands are shaking...my Croatian sounding even worse than usual....I showed them some techniques I like to use when card making....paper piecing, colouring with markers and masking...

..as I stumbled through my presentation...oohhh's and ahhhh's were being heard....smiling faces....hmmmm I'm thinking Croatia will stamp after all....one step at a time....

 

So back to this card...I took the heart stamp and created my background, stamped the branch onto kraft paper, stamped and coloured some leaves...and voila...

I'll be back with another card and more pictures!
Have a great day!

Jane's Doodles & NB Hobby

Hi!

I'm very excited to say that you can find some Jane's Doodles stamp at my favourite craft shop in Zagreb...NB Hobby & Art!! I went down to the shop and demonstrating some stamping techniques and projects with a group of lovely ladies and this little canvas is one of them....

I used my Home Sweet Home stamp set to create this little scene (the heart stamp is from you're a hoot! stamp set)......

One problem with this project......should I keep the houses or the cute little owl....how cute is he all alone on that hill!! :)

Anyways I'm sooo exhausted...I'm afraid I was horrible (with the demonstrating...I was so nervous and shy...) but I did have fun and my girl Tea was so helpful! :)

Have a great night...or day...where ever you are! :)

Etsy shop update

Hi!

 Just popping in to announce that I will be closing my Etsy shop......in the next day or two..don't know when or if I'll re-open. With Jane's Doodles keeping me way busy I just don't have time for my handmade buttons right now.

I want to thank all who have purchased my buttons!! :)

If I do have some buttons for sale I think I'll sell them off this blog.

Anyways...gotta run for now!

happy birthday

Hi!

Popping in to share this card I created that was totally inspired by the talented Shari. I used my Pretty Peonies stamp set and drew in some lines on the petals. More info on this card and the winner of the Jane's Doodles Flickr Gallery challenge here. :)
