Forever Friends Bear

Hullo,Hullo,

Good morning to you all on this Sunny Monday -let's hope it stays :)

I have posted a Forever Friends card today using my Wild cart cartridge circle scallop card (wow that was a mouthful!) I lover these bears, although I didn't think I would actually need to purchase these stamps as I thought if I felt the need to have a FF card I would just buy one. Apart from the fact I was also thinking I would never get the colours right for this little fella, but on the whole I am rather pleased with the colouring on him. Again I have'nt put a lot on just a few flower punches accented with perfect pearls, a quickutz cookie cutter cut out of DB paper, with a tulle bow to top it!

Hope you like, may be back later pop by if you can

Toodle pop!

Thank you so much to everyone who visited me at the weekend on my little blog I was overwhelmed so glad i took the plunge. :)xxx


PS For some reason the comments were not working on this card - thank you for letting me know it has now been sorted. :)

Better Late Than Never!

Hullo, Hullo,
I'm back for my 2nd post of the day -wahaay! This is my 2nd challenge, so glad I am blogging now as I love to participate, even when I didn't have my blog I would make the cards - it's so much fun, all the hard work is done for you apart from having to match papers waaggh I struggle with that also but i guess that comes with time...... I hope lol. This particular card is for Cupcake Challenges I have used Basic Grey Porcelain Paper Pad along with a truly scrumptious Gorguss Girl, my new Nestabilities (how did i survive without these!), a charm and my faithful "scrubby thingy" out of my body shop gift box! oops not forgetting the 3 little flower brads!. Not much too it but I like this one especially the colours, brown and pink,one of my fave combinations. I have left the sentiment off of here at the moment as was unsure which to use - I think I would probably stamp it just to the left of her head, or not at all - who knows!

Thank you so much for all your kind comments I really do enjoy reading them all, it gives me a little buzz even if me kids think I'm SAD that I stick cards on me blog!!! don't you just love em! Toodle pop xxx PS: Must remember to take piccy in daylight colours not too good and a little blurred :(

My 1st Challenge !

Hullo,Hullo,

I have finally got round to doing a challenge -there are soooo many I want to do as sketches I find are a great deal of help to me, as I don't know about you but it takes me forever to put a card together!

I particularly like this sketch and will use this a lot I think.

I have used papers and stickers from a "Simply Scrappin" set called Love Stories, and used my Cuttlebug folder "Swiss Dots" in the background to match in with the papers as it has tiny dots over it.

This challenge is for Stamp With Us and this is also their 1st challenge, if you like Stampin Up products this is the place for you as they have lots going on - take a peek.

I hope to be back later with maybe another challenge card. Fingers crossed. Toodle pop xxx

Cheeky Monkey!

Hullo, Hullo,
A cheeky monkey card for you today, I knew I had made a monkey card
at some point and when my mum bought round the cards for the photo
session there it was!

I was quite pleased how this had turned out as I had seen an editorial
somewhere on how to make this one.
Unfortunately, I should of done one of those side view shots, as from the
front you can't really tell but it is scored and folder so it has a kind of 3D
effect if you see what I mean.
Sorry if anybody out there knows the name please remind me -thanks x
I have used a Stampendous stamp, along with doodlebug papers, and
Quickutz Alphabet Exotic (i love this alphabet - great for holiday headings
for scrapbooking!)
If your not crafting - I hope your enjoying the sunshine, my washing is lol :)

Relax!

Hullo,Hullo,

I can't believe it's Friday already, it comes round so quick.

I feel really tired this week so picked this card today as this

will be me later - once i've sorted dinner, washing, clearing up..........

and all the other endless list of things to do, once I get in.

I have used the paper nation decoupage for this card, along with a Cuttlebug

Alphabet - Hippie Chick. and that's about it - almost forgot a little pink tinge

of ink on the edges.

There are lots of sketches out there that I think I might attempt this weekend

hopefully if I get a spare min.

Beware! my two cyber doctor friends - you know who you are, you may be

getting a frantic call re connecting sketches to other blogs!!!

Have yourselves a super weekend, and thank you for my comments!

Toodle pop!

Baaaaaa.. Baaaaa

Hullo, Hullo,
Please excuse the title of this post as it was my sad impression of a sheep!
This little sheep I have decided to call "Shaun" because he so reminds me of
the little sheep character in all the "Wallace and Gromit" films - do you get me?
All my kids loved Wallace and Gromit so I have seen them all many times.
This card is another one Kim Fee demonstrated on a class at Craftsulove and I love it!
(Thanks Kim!)
On the front I have had a lil go at the 'ole stitching and yeah I think it looks cool!


As you open up the ribbon "Ta Dah!" - a little secret message appears!
What a great one too!
I gave this card to my mum for one of her birthday's and luckily my mum has
kept all my cards so yeah since starting the blog I have been calling them in for
a little photo session .
When she brought them round I was like "Did I make that?"
(you know the dodgy ones she had put at the back)
And yeah - apparently I did (I was blindfolded -surely?)
Till next time
Toodle pop!

Tilda with cupcake - yum !

Hullo, Hullo,

I have a card for you today using a Tilda with a tiny little muffin she has made,

I love this Tilda!

I seem to have accumulated a few now, which I am surprised about as when I

first saw them, when they had their wider jaw line I wasn't that keen as

they reminded me of a "moomin",

Since the jaws got smaller, lots have come home with me.

That is the disadvantage (yes there is one believe it or not) working in a craft shop.

I have a little pile by the side of my desk of craft items that I chop and change

throughout the week.

These are items I think I need - honestly I don't need - I want!!

My little craft room is full to the brim with items that haven't even come out of their packaging

hence the reason of starting my blog so I can brush the dust off and use.

Have a lovely day and BEWARE of all those fools out there

PS: I did get the style of this card from a fellow blogger a long time ago before I ventured

into blog land, unfortunatley can't remember who.... if it's you thankyou x
