eye's down

Morning girls
It's a nice bright one here in Glasgow but it's a little on the cool side but so long as the snow that's in some parts of Scotland stay there then that'll do for me.
So, are you all sorted for Easter?  Are all the eggs in? Or have you succumbed to temptation and eaten one or two so need to buy some more?

It's that time of the week again when we launch our new challenge over on Totally Papercrafts and it's a nice simple one with loads of scope so hopefully you'll play along:)

Our sponsor for this week is



So, are you all ready for a wee game of bingo?
I've gone for the right line down using pearls, glitter and pink although the glitter isn't showing well on the pic.

The papers are Dovecraft, image from Saturated Canary which I've coloured with copics,  sentiment is Sparkle n Sprinkle, a Marianne Design flower die and goodness knows what the other swirly one is?  I've had it for an age now but stupidly never kept the packaging.  Pearls and brads from me stash.
So, there's my effort, don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog for loads on inspiration from me lovely teamies and of course play along with us too.
Have a lovely Easter weekend

Two very quick cards

Evening girls

I'd to rustle up two mega quick  get well cards this afternoon.

My Mums poor neighbour just 75 years young was mauled by a vicious dog the day before yesterday.

She was out for a wee stroll with her tiny little dog when this brute attacked both of them.

She seen it approaching and managed to pick her dog up yet the thing pounced and tore her little dog from her arms anyway.  Trying to save her little pooch she was very, very badly bitten to the extent that she'd to have operations on both her hands yesterday.  The  top of the index finger on her right hand had the flesh almost all torn off and the bone exposed.  Her left hand, which she thought was less badly damaged turned out to be the worst of them both.  The surgeon said one more bite and they wouldn't have been able to save the hand as there are so many puncture wounds!!

I can't begin to imagine how terrified she must have been yet her instinct was to save her little dog.

On top of all the trauma she is now faced with a massive vets bill as her little Cookie isn't insured.  Thankfully the vet did wonderful work and managed to save her life too although it will be another few days before she is out of the woods and able to come home.

To say I'm disgusted by this is an understatement.  I love dogs, always have but I can't condone irresponsible owners of these mastiff breed dogs.  They know they're vicious, so why have them?  Thankfully the brute is no more as it was put to sleep and the owner charged.  I hope he get's locked up and the key thrown away!!

Anyway,  here are me two quick cards

This one using Dovecraft papers and a Papermania stamp.  Other bits and bobs from me stash and a computer generated sentiment

 

On this one I've used a sentiment stamp from Sparkle n Sprinkle, some gorgeous MME papers and a K & Co die cut flower available from Mishelflo

So, that's my sorry tale girls.  Please keep Connie and her little furry companion in your prayers tonight

Is it raining?

Hi girls

As promised yesterday I'm back with my DT card for Inky Impressions.

We've a great challenge for you this week

APRIL SHOWERS

You may interpret this any way you wish though, it doesn't need to be raining cats and dogs as it is here at the moment!!  No need for a brolly either as it's so windy it would just blow away.

Anyway, here is my card.

I've gone for a completely different kind of shower as you can see.

Here in Glasgow we call a 'Wedding Shower a  'Hen Night'.  Hence the sentiment on my card.

I've used three gorgeous girls this week.

  Lili's Stuffed Bunny, Angelica's Heartsocks and Angelica's Lantern.  

I've kept the embellies to a minimum on this card, just a doiley and a  few flat backed pearls which can also be found over at the store.

So, that's my effort girls. do pop over to the challenge blog for loads of lovely inspiration from the other girls on the team too.

Just ringing to say...

Hi girls

Who'd have believed we were sunbathing last week and wrapping up warm against the wind and snow now?

There's definitely something strange with our weather for sure:(

So, as there was no need to go out and about in the cold today I locked myself in me wee craft room and had a play with Chatterbox Lili from Inky Impressions.

She's a pretty little thing isn't she?   Perfect for any little girls card.  

As always I've coloured with copics, the papers are SEI.  punched out flowers and my Marianne Designs Die flourish thingy along with some lovely little flat back pearls also available from the Inky Impressions store complete the card.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back tomorrow with my Inky Impressions challenge card.
