1st Anniversary card

Made quickly cos we on way to party lol.................... me slightly worse for wear.. so here it is.. xx

Born to shop (or drop lol)

A card... wayhey.... even surprised myself.. I was determined to get at least one made today, would have preferred two, but... just been shopping so that took up hours needed in craft room, and got home to find out myself and daughter off out later to a hog roast, party, bands etc`... so.. a few more hours not in craft room.. !
Must rememeber to start doing the recipe bit... trouble is I never remember who the stamps are made by, let alone what papers Ive used... so maybe not such a good idea anyway lol.. I did use copics thou !!! as for the numbers? not a clue.. once again, must start paying more attention :)..
ooooh look out for some blog candy midnight tonight.. or if worse for wear... first thing tomorrow morning ... :)... catch you guys laters, as off to find something that fits.... ish... really MUST go on a diet !!! ...

Im all worn out !

Will someone PLEASE show me to my craft room..... Ive got withdrawels real bad......... I NEED to make a card.. I need to see a Tilda or a nestie or a prima......... anything will do... im desperate............. !!!
Ive been awol the past few days because,.. I have been painting.... cleaning, filling, sanding, priming, drying, dusting, ........... sob.. need I go on........ and why.... cos my youngest daughter is moving house.. and.. she needed all the help she could get, (bless her)... its been manic.. but we are getting there... she has finally moved today, so we had to clean her old house from top to bottom.... and at the same time, getting the new place decorated from scratch... and as for the plasterers.. i will lose my temper if they dont get a wriggle on, don t they know I got a schedule to keep ! lol....
but.. another week and I / we should be sorted.. then I off to Spain, and omg do I need a rest...
in between times.. tomorrow I am locking the doors, hiding in my craft roomm and coming out with some cards.. ... Please be patient peeps... I will post some cards over the next couple of days, that I promise !!!

Still middle of night !!!

Well it feels like it to me, and I've been up a hour... I will swing for my dog... she soooo doesn't like being on her own .. so as soon as she wakes up.. we all have to wake up, then when she has her company.. what does she do?... yep you got it... goes back to sleep for the day.. wish my eyes would wake up and catch up with my body lol... oh incase you was wondering where other dog was... mummy had forgot to put a chair ontop of the sofa... so obviously Xev had to make the most of it !!!! and muggi cant see that high.. infact muggi cant see full stop.. so thought she in room on own !! .. oh well, ... had lots to do today anyway lol...
so without further ado.... will add a card I have made for a friends birthday.

(hey maybe I should put this next to muggi !!! lol).... and my granddaughter Ruby loves him, she had been round playing with him,, hence he on sofa... lol... just had to take th ese shots, as thought so cute and funny...
Have a good day all... im off for a fix of caffine see if second shot of morning helps anymore than the first one.... :)

LaPashe - Flippin Christmas - purrrrr

As Toni has some super duper LaPashe blog candy up for grabs.. I thought it would be a good idea to show you another one of the sheets you will be receiving... These are sooo easy to cut out, and make such a fabby card without adding hardly a nythihg else to it (unless you want to of course)..
All I have done for this one is to use a rollergraph, from SU, with the holly leaves wheel, hunter green ink, again SU, added some stickles and some gems... sorted..
Dont forget to pop over to Cards and Candles and see exactly what Toni has up for grabs..... also,
make sure you check back here next week !!!!!! Cos I might have a little surprise for you too :)

I can always hope that this year just, might, I said MIGHT, be different.. !! (somehow dont think I best hold my breath)...
Kept this one nice and simple, and Im glad I did, as I think the colours speak volumns anyway... so no need to go mad with much. Was very pleased with my colouring on this one, for a change.. and finally found a sentiment that actually fits in side my tags.!!! Had them ages, and most of my sentiment stamps are too big for them... (there has been a bit of blue air in my craft room).. Also used the crushed glass too... not sure of proper name... but it is what it says... crushed glass, so effective on the snowflake... right well thats it for this morning... off for another fix of caffine.... and best get some housework done, oooh sorry for swearing lol... then... craft room here I come.... :)... spose I should go and sit in the garden at appreciate the beautiful weather we are having here in Kent at the moment.... or will only be moaning in few weeks we had no summer lol.... Have a good day peeps... and will catch you all.... oooooh maybe not tomorrow but defo Sunday.... Im off for a craft day meeting up with a load of my good crafting friends.... Be lovely to see everyone again.... not sure how much crafting will get done thou lol xxx

Dont know what I was thinking (or drinking) when I put these colours together.... must have been a reason... at the time lol just wish I could remember what it was.. so.. with one copic'd image... had to find the papers to match... ish... its a bit................... funky... for me... but spose someone will like it ?? !!! lol... eventually.
I dont have... sob... a fiskers scallop punch neither do I have a ... drool... Martha Stewart punch.... so... I done what I could with a pair of scissors and my trusty Crop-o-dile.. or is it, Crop a dile?? lol.. either way.. I got what I wanted...:)
Was sposed to be doing a challenge today.. but mojo went awol... lazy so and so.. never around when I need it ! ..

Gosh its been a busy day...done LOADS of painting, unfortunately, not card craft sort ! but walls.. and more walls.... son and daughters new house.. now why or how I got roped into that I dont know, as my place needs it more, Im sure, but... I seem to get pulled into the craft room, and nowt else gets done ! lol But with a new kitchen on the horizon, and possibly a new garden.... I will have to pull my finger out and re d ecorate the lounge very soon !!! ... but... my good friend Lynn... will defo be conned, sorry asked, to help ! lol she a whizz at cutting in ! ... me, cant see a blooming thing without me binoculars. !

Sugar Bowl Challenge

Im going for broke this week... another challenge card under my belt, another first, for The Sugar Bowl this time, .... a sketch... and homemade flowers was the order of the day... and I do love doing sketches !!! :) so had to have a go.. been dying to use my new papers too, so I had to do pink!!
Managed to sit and colour about half a dozen images yesterday, went copic mad... lol.. still not totally happy with my efforts, but think some of the latter ones were sh owing signs of improvement... will perservere.. but think I might need to go back to water colouring for a while as it a lot less stressful lol...

Copic Challenge Card

Well I know Im only just getting to grips with these, but I thought I would have my first go at a copic challenge... any excuse to play ! LOL... I only managed to use a little bit of 'red' but I think that it will be ok. love the combination of the blue and green thou.. and would you beleive it, I got the G99 in the post this morning, AFTER I finished the card... never mind.. they do say get as close as poss and I think I did ok.. (and guess who missed out again on a GDT call !!! LOL)
Still not finished tiding up craft room, as quickly as I put one thing away, I start playing lol.. must be stricter with self :)

Two birds one Magnolia :)

So wanted to do this weeks Magnolia challenge, and also I knew Pippa was expecting me to partake in the Imagenation challenge too... so... as time was short... made up Magnolia to sketch provided, and I am happy in the knowledge I would give this to a 12 year old girly... so sent it to Pippa too. Yep I know it sposed to be annonymouse at Imagenation, but this card was made for the magnolia challenge and they need to see it LOL... Been playing with copics again, and my new nesties.. (Pam I blame you !!! ) .. I also used my new SU rollergraph wheels to make the backing sheets, buttons from Greta (thanks hun).... and ribbon from me ! lol.. Needless to say I have just been very naughty and ordered MORE copics !!!!!! ... I best start getting good at this soon or it will be lots of money wasted, and could have paid off the mortgage LOL.
Now I find I quite like Prismacolours after all.................. oh dear .... Pam... your fault AGAIN hehehe...

Flippin Christmas .......... woof

Well hello all.... feels like forever since I've made a card.. and I adore this little dog with his pressie.. more from LaPashe and the Flippin Christmasrange decoupage sheets... cannot wait to see what Jak, Toni, and Karen have done with theirs.... Due to having a visitor over the weekend, this really had to be a quickie card to get it on the blog in time, so all I done was to use a piece of glitter card , drew two freehand doggie bones , added a bit of ribbon, sentiment and backing sheet and a few peeloffs, job done.
The bonus with these are the backing sheets that come free with the deco... so quick and easy to complete a card. Well done again Jak for what I am sure will be another winner.
