Double pocket card!

Hullo, Hullo,
A new style card for me a "Double pocket card" with two little tags.
This was a first attempt and not as complicated as first thought so will definitely be making more - me likes these!!!
I have used the adorable Flowers for Mimi , Penny Black stamp , those little birdies are so tweet!! this has to be one of my favourites!
As the challenge this week was Doodling over at Penny Black Saturday you can see I have done lots of faux stitching and a few dots here and there!!
Here is a close up of the two little Doo hickey tags using Elzybells sentiments, I have used white organza and pink twine through the holes.
Absolutely smothered the edges of the card with stickles so it's lovely and sparkly!!
There is also a challenge over at Penny Black Blog which is using Fun Folds and there is a fab tutorial so will be trying that next for sure.
I will also be entering my card into Penny Black at Allsorts - favourites.
Craft room challenge -anything goes
Right must go there is a "fish curry" cooking in the kitchen - not me cooking I'm busy blogging, to be honest fish curry sounds wrong to me but will let you know how it goes !!!
Toodle pop!

Sunday Sketch and Stamp Challenge!!!

Hullo, hullo,
Oooh where does the weekend go??
It absolutely flies by for me no sooner is it Monday and all systems go, time really flies as you are getting older it's frightening!!
I've had a lovely weekend though we went to Borough Market by London Bridge with friends, it is well worth a visit if you like food that is, everything is so scrummy and they have testers on most of the stalls so obviously it would be rude not to try!! lol
We came back laden with cheeses, pickles,duck eggs, strawberries, pesto sauce, mahusive tiger prawns and a big fish i think the man said it was a Mullett - Well I can tell you now them tiger prawns and mullett were bl**dy gorgeous!
We cooked the prawns in garlic butter and baked the fish with cherry tomatoes,lemon juice and garlic and it was melt in your mouth - I do like me fish!! (top tip if you wait till 4.15 ish the fish stall is half price obviously that's when we went!!)
I also got big flat mushrooms, meat and potato pies and cornish pasties for me ma and pa but had to laugh as the meat and potato pies had no meat in them (lol )apparently it was potato and gravy but very tasty!!
In fact come to think of it all I did was eat on Saturday as we had a Jamaican Curry from a stall for lunch followed by Cod chips and mushy peas in the Fish restaurant right in the market, pricey but well worth it .
Well hope I not made you feel too hungry!!
I managed to squeeze one card in though and chose this lovely sketch over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp
I have used a lil Elzybell along with SU bashful blue papers and have paper pieced her dress to match, you may also notice I used some pearls, quite a few I got carried away!
Hope you likey!
Toodle pop!
