Pixie and Pookie!

Hullo, Hullo,

Yet another crimbo card from me again, I think i should best stick to these then hopefully I will have some done in time for the big day!!

Just can't seem to get into Christmas mode at all, I need to be injected with some Christmas spirit to get me in the mood!!

This is an old Stampendous stamp but i just love his googly eyes to me it seems as though he has had a "sherbert or two" I can just imagine him leaving a wiggly trail trying to deliver his pressies having a little night cap at every stop! hee hee

Kraft card used again of course!! It would be rude not to!

I have also used a fab Martha Stewart all around the page punch Deco Flowers I have lots of these type punches and absolutely love them so I now must use the buggers!!

No good keep oohing and ahhing and letting them gather dust they want to come out and play!

Well let me tell you this little fella has got two more presents than i have got i haven't even started! HELP!

I will be entering my card into

Good Morning!!!
How are you today ! Have you woken up with va va voom like me!! (normally fades) but at the
moment I am feeling very positive!
We have recently got 6 chickens so I am normally up to feed them and tell them how special they are as they lay me scrum diddly-umptious eggs, I have got over the fact now that when they lay me some eggs i do not actually have to eat them all there and then just cos they are fresh! lolx
Another long gap between cards I am afraid, i am not getting any time to do much crafting as my mum is still not right bless her but hopefully - everything crossed this may be her time as the doctors and nurses etc seem to have stepped up a notch this week.
Well todays card is another Tilda , I don't use them for months and then 2 come along side by side, I really do love this one it is so sweet!!
You can't see very well the texture of the snowball but i have used some snowy stuff and it looks fab, I kept playing around with this card trying to add more but i struggled i think it's because i feel guilty playing in my room at the moment and just want to get the job done and get out!

Crimbo Card!!

Hullo, Hullo,

A slightly more pleasing card on the eye especially after the last one eh Tracy! hee hee! (She is a Magnolia lover so me knows this one will please her!)

I actually love this little Tilda too and the first time she has seen ink and yet she is a year old!! Bless her!

Have you spotted I managed to pop an Elzybell in there too!

Yep I am afraid Elzybells will never be forgotten all the time I am living and breathing that is for sure!!

Do you like the lil Robin he so cute!

I think he would like a kiss from Tilda as he has mistletoe but i think the poor little cow is clinging on for life as she is sitting on the window sill OUTSIDE and for all we know it could be 7 stories up in a block of flats!!! lol x

But don't you worry cos I will be looking out for her with my "Special Eye!"

(Yay! I got it in there Tracy + Caz+Paula!)Yeeha!!

Good Morning!!

A little bit damp here this morning as we had rain last night and we actually had the heating on for the first time it was like a sauna this morning as i forgot to turn it off! OOps!

Well a new card today even if it is a little bit busy(not sure about this one)

The papers are Doodlebug and I love the print, but it is just so hard to use on a card as there is so much going on- maybe I should have just used a tiny strip! lol

I have used my new Fiskars punch and I love it such a delicate scallop.

There is also lots of sparkle on this card but alas you cannot see it as usual !

My stamp is a little Elzybell I am still a big fan of these stamps even though they are no longer in production which is an awful shame.

I will be entering my card into the following challenges

Well must fly, off to see how my eldest got on in Bournemouth last night as it was his 21st and him and his mates went there to party and stay the night!!

Poor old Bournemouth is what I say!!

We did however have a lovely civilized evening the night before with family at a chinese restaurant and it was one price for "eat as much as you like"

So I Blooming well did!!

I could barely move - umm diets going well - NOT!

Have a lovely Sunday!

Cooooeeeee!

Hullo, Hullo,

So where do I start without boring you all!!!

Life has been busy busy busy (hectic sounds worse!)

Well finally my mum has left hospital yesterday!! Hoorah!

Still a long way to go but after being in there for soooo long, she was more than ready to go home. Bless her x

My father in law is now out of hospital too and is doing really well - another Hoorah!

Thank you to all who sent well wishes it is really kind of you sending all those positive vibes! (Get me eh! I sound like "Heaven!") lolx(Big Brother contestant - just incase you thought i had lost me marbles!)

Finally we can now try to get back to semi normality, I am so pleased we are now at this point as didn't fancy Christmas at the hospital and I am damn sure they did not want to spend it there either although they were both extremely well looked after.

Unfortunately the creative side of me didn't get an awful lot done at all, but I did manage to make a Christmas card using the Magnolia Noel stamp and used dotty paper or is it spotty?? (Now that's one to think about! lol)

This was made for a Create and Take at Craftsulove and all products are from there.

If you fancy a spot of craft shopping at the weekend why not pop to Craftsulove as it is their Christmas Demo Day on Saturday where you will also see our New Classroom and Paper Room !

Lots of work has been done and the shop looks absolutely fantastic and you will be able to pick up our New Class List!!!

Apologies for not catching up with you all I am sure there are lots of wonderful crafty items you have been making and looking forward to peeking in on you all.

Big Hullo to my new followers!

Flying by......

....with a birthday Hi!!!

This was the card I made for Geoff who entered the "naughty forties" recently!!

I have used the fab stamp from Penny Black called "Hedgehopper" , on the actual stamp it does have a trail of hearts floating out the back but I chose to use a birthday banner instead, I think it works quite well especially for those man cards!!

Just a quick visit from me today as unfortunately my mum is still in hospital and there hasn't been much progress and she is in a lot of pain. It is heart braking to see her as she is normally a very strong person.

Thank you all very much for your get well wishes for her.

I will be entering my card into the following challenges

Lovely and Lilac!!

Morning Peeps!!

It's not often I big up my cards but do confess I really like this one and it was made for my lovely Mum, who is in hospital at the moment with a fractured pelvis.

Unfortunately she tripped in my kitchen and dislocated her shoulder and had trouble walking - to cut a long story short she has been in pain ever since and we have now found out after numerous trips to the hosp that she has fractured her pelvis in two places!!

So I would like to wish her a speedy recovery and hope she is able to come home soon.

Can you believe no stamping on this card it is purely punches and dies.

I have used the MS ribbon loop patp, SU owl punch and SU branch, MS hydrangea punch for the lil flowers and the Magnolia Fence.

Oops ! not to mention my lovely fluffy cloud punch by Fiskars.

Well I have a list that is never ending of things to do today and two birthdays this weekend my baby is going to be 15!!!

Eek! another year and I will have no children at school that will be very weird for me!!

I hope you have a lovely weekend and thank you for visiting me especially as I haven't been posting frequently, I appreciate you popping by x
