I sat and coloured her the other night while watching TV, I am quite pleased as I wasn't in very good light - no close ups please!! hee hee

Baaaa!!!!

Good Morning!!
A very Spring type card today, very soft and pastelly in fact not a good photo at all it does look very wishy washy, think I am using the wrong camera setting!
Doh! silly me x
I have used a fab Sketch over at Stamptacular Sunday, one i will be using again
definitely.
I have used lots of die cuts on here, magnolia fence die, martha stewart grass punch and nestabilitie dies, not forgetting my SU tab punch!!
The papers are very old Imaginisce unfortunately can't remember the names but they are very pretty.
There are so many great challenges at the moment but not enough hours in the day for me!!
Papertake Weekly - die cut special
CES challenge - anything goes
Anything goes - anything goes
cupcake crafts - something new (jewels)
Toodle pop!

Three 'lil' Puddy Tats!

Hi de Hi,
I found these circular cards in a drawer so thought I would have a go and make a card with them and decided on some lovely bright turquoise and pinks colours I think they look fab together!!
A really cute image by Penny Black, i'm not sure what this is called as someone had kindly stamped it for me x
I will use this as a card from one of the kids to my mum as she has a birthday coming up in February, nothing like getting organised!!
As she cherishes all of my cards I think it is safe to say she is worthy of all my new pink gems I have placed around the scallop lol x
Hope you like, i shall be entering it into the following challenges
Simon says - something new
Paper Sundaes- saturated colour
Pink Elephant - anything goes
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Cute Card Thursday - whats new
Crafts and me - anything goes

Bye for now x

Good Morning!
Ooh it's really blustery and rainy and horrible here today, a good day for crafting if you get any time!

I am not sure if this style card has a name but Kim Fee used it on a class at Craftsulove and all of the ladies loved it!

Bo Bunny Card and FREE POSTAGE ALERT!!!

Hullo, hullo,
Hope you all survived the Christmas Festivities and that Santa brought you everything you wanted!!
We had a lovely time but have to say I am glad it's over, I do Christmas Day and Boxing Day for the family and although I enjoy it when it's here, I absolutely hate the run up to it I get so stressed!!!
I have eaten far too much and feel very uncomfortable but tell myself well If I eat a little more I may feel better!
Where's the logic in that!!
Not sure If I should be posting Crimbo cards as it has gone, lol but here is one that I made for a Create and Take at work who have FREE POSTAGE until 3rd January so if you did fancy a bit of retail therapy or were lucky enough to receive CRAFTSULOVE vouchers for Christmas now's the chance to spend and save on postage!!
It would be rude not too!!
See you soon and a big Hullo to my new followers x
PS - I still have 2 presents to find in my "safe place" which unfortunately to the disgust of my children, I cannot for the life of me remember where it was!
I wouldn't mind but I only wrapped them on Christmas Eve!!
May have to buy a new brain in the sales!!
No funny comments please Mrs Squires!! lol

Hullo, Hullo,
Sorry you had just piccies and no words for a couple of days!!
Silly, stupid, daft bat old me obviously pressed a wrong button and managed to turn my blog into something I knew nothing about!! Doh what a dingbat I am!!
This was until Caz came to the rescue and worked her magic within about 2 nano seconds - what a fool I felt!!
Thank you my friend x
So onto the piccie this was a photo taken from my bedroom window the other morning, unfortunately it didn't pick up well in the photo but just above the trees it was a lovely blue and looked like the sea it was amazing!!
Just a little card that took minutes to make and yes I have used an Elzybell again!!
I would like to wish all who visit a wonderful wonderful christmas and all the best for 2012!!
Just incase I don't get a chance to pop by again as I still have pressies to buy -
