So Cute!!

Good Morning!!
Well i was up with the larks this morning the sun was streaming through my bedroom window it was gorgeous!
Sadly now it is a little bit overcast but i will not let it dampen my day lots of jobs to do today including hoovering the car - it really needs it, where do all the little bits come from!!!

I did decide to do a little bit of creating before everyone got up and i followed a fab sketch from Midnight Madness.
I have used some very old papers, i think they are Crate paper - Sweet branch collection, i love these colours together.
I have inked for the first time one of my fave stamps (yes this is a newbie) LOTV Blossom - so adorable!!
I have used a bit of everything on here really, embossing folder, ms hydrangea punch (invaluable) CB corner die, I cut out in two colours and painstakingly pieced the two together !
Note to oneself DO NOT wear lovely warm fleecy dressing gown with huge cuffs so all the tiny pieces hang themselves from it!!
I do have a question if anybody knows the answer i would be most grateful!!
Where do i find the little bit at the bottom that used to be on posts where you list the items you used, it used to automatically be there! Didn't it?
Maybe it is just me being daft or has it really disappeared!
Just a thought it anyone knows?
Well must stop chatting lots of jobs to do and now i'm sitting here going off the idea - sound familiar? lol x

A Get Well Card!

Hullo,Hullo,
Hope you are all well and managing to get a bit of crafty time to yourselves!
This card seemed to take me an age and was a little overdue for the recipient Mrs Wonka but i am pleased to say once received she loved it!

It was a little get well card for an operation she had not so long ago.
I have used a Pure innocence stamp set called Better get better , i thought it was rather cute, this also comes with a couple of sentiments (not the one on my card)
I have also used MFT border die Faux crochet and matching oval die.
The personalised banner was made using some letter beads which i have had for yonks and a lovely little stamp i got for christmas from Caz

I also decorated the inside for a change, it really makes it that extra special.
Have you any plans for the weekend? for some reason i keep forgetting it's a Bank Holiday probably because the weather is so pants!!!
I am in need of a new frock as i have a wedding to go to, i was searching today, i saw a few but none that will cover my "bingo wings!"
So back to the drawing board - I'm not really a frock person so this is proving somewhat difficult lol!!
Whatever you may be doing have fun - see you soon!

Rain Rain Go Away!!!!!

Good Morning!
Well is it ?
Lots and lots of rain, someone really needs to turn the tap off i need some sunshine, a friend of mine is on her hols at the moment and she sure picked the best 2 weeks me thinks!!

Pinks and browns today for my card - i do like these two colours together and i have used a lovely magenta stamp called Butterfly post duo it say's duo so yup that means you get 2 stamps - bargain!!!
I have given it a distressed feel, unfortunately this is probably just about how far i get with distressing as it makes me too distressed it don't come natural to me lol x
I have also used the memory box founded fence these dies are so so nice and delicate i love them all, but BEWARE they are like Pringles once you have one you just can't stop!!
Have fun and hope you don't get too wet today!

Man Card!

Good Morning , it is lovely and sunny outside at the moment so the washing is blowing in the breeze i shall be making the most of it and will be washing all the bedding!!

Apologies for all the writing at the top of my post as i'm not sure what i have done wrong but it didn't want to go under the photo. Any helpful advice on this would be greatly appreciated, i am sure it is something silly i have missed.

Any how i have made a mans card for this weeks create and take at work and have used the Portobello Road stamps postage/passport and vintage, i have to admit i like all the stamps but when it came to producing a card i did struggle but am rather pleased with how it turned out. I also used a tim holtz brick wall embossing folder.

Simple Pimple!

Morn!

As the title suggests a very "Simple Pimple Card" today.

This card came about purely by me wanting to stamp the image to see how it came out and then i just added some doodling and "Voila" i quite liked it as it was.

It was a recent purchase off ebay and i thought it would be a nice quick and easy man card - it turned out to be super quick!! Yahoo!!

I also stamped a little moo cow inside but silly me forgot to take a pic of him/her but it was very cute a little moo with hearts on body.

Just a quickie from me today, have a lovely day!!

4 crafty chicks - boys dig it

Innocent and sweet!

Good Morning!

I think the title of my post just about sums me up ! lol (yeah right! i hear you say!)

Well actually i think it just about sums up this cutie patootie image from MFT pure innocence stamps, this one is called Better get better and also comes with the sentiment "sending well wishes" which i also stamped in the centre of this card it was made for our create and take at work.

She also has the most amazing sparkly shoes and little heart in her hair thanks to stickles!!

I have also used some MFT dies, open scalloped edge and rounded banner trio die, these seem to be my thing of the moment and my collection is ever growing!!

I have had a couple of visitors to my garden this week, i think this little deer was trying to hide from me and didn't realise there wasn't any leaves on my hibiscus yet!
And then along came a lil birdie!!
I always have my camera handy as you never know when you might need it and i have recently discovered i can take black and white piccies YAY!

Memory Box Dies!

Good Morning!!!

What a glorious day today, the sun is shining and we best make the most of it as it will be disappearing apparently - typical just as the weekend creeps up on us!!

No craftiness to be had for a long time for me but here are a few bits i have made for work (Craftsulove)recently.. 1st up some gorgeous cheery lynn bunnies and memory box filagree egg dies aren't these cute!
The wild bloom memory box die, this could be used for many occasions,
The dancing tulips die, this was last weeks create and take
And here another fancier version using the gorgeous new Romantic rectangle nestabilities set, i think this set needs to come home with me - aren't they fancy!!

There is also a similar version called floral ovals that keep calling me! lol

I think i need to save some pennies.

My pennies are spent at the moment as just had an MOT and i need tyres, unfortunately mine are rather huge eeek!!!

Hope you have a fab weekend and i will do a sundance to see if i can make Mr Sunshine stay where ever you may be!!

Toodle pop!
