Sunshine and flowers!

Good Morning!!

Let's hope our day is filled with sunshine today instead of the wet stuff that seems to continually drop from the sky at the moment, i am getting a little fed up of shouting up there to turn the blooming tap off!!!

A little card to share with you that was made for Create and Take last Friday at Craftsulove.

It was made using this little stamp set from Craftsulove and it is actually called Sunshine and flowers! Isn't it a lovely little sentiment.

This Saturday it is the Shops 5th Birthday and they have a demo day going on all details can be found here if you would like to pop along.

I will be entering the following challenges

Born To Be Wild!!!

Get your motor running, Head out on the highway, looking for adventure in whatever comes our way,Yeah darling gonna make it happen............OK OK enough of the singing but as soon as I made this card I just kept singing(wailing) this song! lol x I have used the fab Penny black stamp which is actually called Born Wild and the Papermania Running Stitch punch as thought it rather resembled a road!!

As I had made a little hedgie card, I thought you might like to see who visited us for a couple of days last week - lookie how sweet is this little hedgie!!

I named her Tilly but have been informed by the kids that it may be a little Tommy as he/she kept slipping off the plate and doing a roly poly and they may have well seen a lil winky!!

I have taken so many photos and spent a good couple of hours just sitting watching as Tilly/Tommy is so cute and oh so fast I couldn't believe how quick they manouvre
Look at the little legs -Ahhhhhh so sweet!!

you can tell how small she is as this is an old side plate!

Alas we haven't seen her since I do hope he/she has been reunited with her mummy as the night before we saw her we heard a rustling in the bushes and a rather large mummy hedgehog trotted around the garden, I did reach for the camera but unfortunately it just came out black - apparently thats what happens when it is 10.30pm at night and pitch black -Doh!!!

Well i hope you like my piccies!!

Goodie or Baddie?

Good Morning!!

Well as the title of this post suggests "goodie or baddie?"

I am unsure whether or not this card really works but it's growing on me - just!!

Not a lot to say about it really other than it's a forever friends stamp and I have used my new MFT film strip die, isn't it fab!!

These dies are my new addiction at the moment and i still have lots I haven't used yet but seem to keep buying more!!

Fathers Day Card!

Good Afternoon!!

A man card for you today I thought I had best start on the many Fathers Day cards I have to make so this is Number 1 using a very old sugar nellie image, in fact one of the few man/boy images I own so it does get aired a lot.

I have used the fab sketch over at Sketch Saturday and you can win a fab MFT voucher!! Woo hoo! they do the most fantastic dies so my fingers are crossed!!

A quick post from me today as need to do some food shopping its rather like "old mother hubbard's kitchen" and with 3 young lads that eat non stop I had best get stocked up!!

i will also enter the following challenges

papertake weekly - anything goes

craft room challenge - anything goes

Last but not least the "fish Curry" was a hit and I will be requesting it again!!

Yummy yum yum!!

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!

Baby Card!!

Good Morning!!!

looks like it is going to be glorious the sun has most definitely got his hat on today!!!

I should know I have been awake since 4am!!

Yes stupid o'clock tossing and turning wheezing and sneezing and beating the life out of the other half snoring!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

In the end i gave in and got up at 5am and did some washing so it's out on the line already swaying soaking up the sun.
My card for today is sadly not for a new baby just been born, i just picked a stamp out the drawer without looking what it was and that was my challenge to then make a card, but I now have a baby card if anyone needs one!

I so love this stamp it is so cute and yes obviously an elzybell as you can probably tell!

I have paper pieced the entire stamp, i had originally coloured in the baby but the colour just didn't stand out enough on the Kraft so obviously need to invest in a better quality flesh coloured pencil.

I will be entering my card into the following challenges

our creative corner - beautiful baby

fussy and fancy friday challenge - card man/boy

fab n funky challenge - what 'eva'

cute card thursday - embellish it
