Crafting gran: Elizabeth Dulemba

Its Wednesday (yes Annette, I do say wed - nes - day every time I type the word, but I am Afrikaans and thats how we were taught.) and that means we are all heading off to Julia's blog to join in the stalking of other people's desks in the hope that there is one, somewhere out there that looks worse than ours. (http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com )

This week I am not posting a photo of my craft desk, in fact, its not even in my craftroom, but... this is where I have been spending most of my time these last 9 days. In front of my computer, reading between 50 and 60 blogs a night. Some crazy teacher (I think it might have been me) got it in her head that she was having so much fun blogging that it would be a great idea to let the girls in her class do a creative writing project where they have to create a blog and post a photo every day for 30 days and blog about it. Stupid woman never thought that she would have to read all those posts and comment on ALL of them, because the girls get very hurt if she doesn't.
The only silver lining to this very dark cloud is that some of the girls are starting to talk about carrying on with blogging after the assignment finishes - catch them young I say. They are also looking at their 'old' teacher with new respect, they could not believe that I actually have a blog of my own and the biggest surprise? "She's actually got some followers guys!'

I have been able to squeeze in some cardmaking. ( I would suffer withdrawel symptoms if I didn't). Made some very quick Valentines cards. All cardstock is Bazzil and all papers are fom my scrapbox. All images were coloured with my Copics. The first image is one of Dustin Pike's images, I just love that elephant.The ribbon is from my stash and the buckle from blog candy that I won a while ago.

I am in love with dragons and this one is a new freebie from Dustin Pike. The ribbon is from the ribbon club at Really Reasonable Ribbon. The little hearts are from the blog candy again and so is the charm.

This dragon is super cute and is from Elizabeth Dulemba. I adore her images. Although they are actually colouring pages, they work very well on cards and they are a dream to colour. I glitterified his wings with Stickles.

This image is by Elizabeth as well. The image was cut with my Making Memories circle cutter (yeah me, I am using my tools that are covered in dust!) The heart trim is from Really Reasonable Ribbon again.
