Birthday Wishes

Hiya everyone

This is another scheduled post from me as we're at our second home in Turkey for a couple of weeks.  Our daughter is home alone here though so God only knows what I'll return to as she's not one for doing the dreaded housework :(

Anyway, today's card is for the new challenge at All Dressed Up and our theme for this one is...

ADD SOME BLING

Easy peasy!!

papers - Cuddly Buddly

bling and lace - That Craft Place

Once again I've coloured with Spectrum Noirs.  I'm a bit on the fence with them.  Love how they blend but no matter what I try I can't seem to get 'flicks' on the hair.  As you can see from this it's a bit thick looking in places.  Does that make sense?  Any tips would be most gratefully received :)

Have a good week girls and make sure you get plenty crafting time

cupcake anyone?

Morning girls

It's another nice, bright one here.  Typical isn't it, we're off on our jollies just as the weather breaks here.  Not that I'll be worrying about that come tomorrow:)

I made this card a couple of weeks ago for Cuddly Buddly but didn't get around to showing you it.  I've been so bad lately at keeping up with things on blogland. I'm going to give myself a right good kick up the backside when I get back from our holiday!!

How good does that cupcake look?

I'm off now for a quick hop girls as it's an age since I've had the time so whilst I finish me cuppa I'm going to have a quick catch up then I'll need to do a food shop and some cooking for the freezer for my daughter whilst we're away.  She's a lazy so and so and will eat rubbish for three weeks.  Twenty two years old and can't cook won't cook!!

Have a great day, especially if you manage to get out in this lovely sunshine

Morning girls

I've been busy, busy with me cards this week but just haven't had a minute to blog them.  I'm desperately trying to get everything sorted for my design teams before I go to Turkey for three weeks  and I've got a few commissions to get done too.  It's a losing battle as half the time Mr Mojo does a runner and I'm left flicking through papers and embellies wondering what on earth to put on the card.

Anyway this one is my Cuddly Buddly creation for the week.  It's been coloured up for a while but it was only the other day I finally managed to get it onto a card.

Cuties aren't they?

Have you got your canoes and wellies at the ready?  OMG is been so wet here.  Torrents and torrents of the wet stuff have been pouring from the sky for at least 36 hours and there is no sign of it letting up.  The weather man has certainly said it's raining!!!

Anyway let's get onto my card for today.

How cute is this?

hello there

We got sunshiiiiiiiine on a cloudy day

Right, enough of me singing I'll put you off visiting forever but I'm keeping me fingers and toes crossed that at long last we'll get a few good days in a row.  Is it just me who's fed up with our British weather?  The hubster and I were talking the other night about how when we were (cough) younger at this time of year we were out and about in our summer gear getting the rays and enjoying a bit of sunshine.  How time and climates change eh?

Today's card is one I made last week but didn't get around to showing you yet.

Are you all stuffed full of chocolate?  I am lol  Love the stuff.  It's my downfall!

I was having a rummage around the Cuddly Buddly site one day last week and came across this little guy.
Absolutely perfect for my cousin's wee one who just loves to 'fix' things.  He has his own wee box filled with plastic tools so this is perfect for him.  His birthday is a few months off though so I'm early with a family card for a change:)

So, who bought lots of new crafty stash at the SECC?  Is the credit card maxed?

I'm not one for the craft fayres to be honest but may or may not pop along this afternoon.  I hate all the hustle and bustle when I can sit here quite comfy and browse the net for what I want so we'll see what happens later in the day:)

I've made another page for me calendar.  I did plan to try to make one a week but that fell by the wayside rather quickly so here is page two, only ten more to do

Morning girls

I've my Karen's Doodles DT card to show you this morning and of course tell you about our new challenge.

It's a good one this week so we're hoping that loads of you play along using one of Karen's images as she has loads that are absolutely perfect for our theme of...

ANIMAL ANTICS

I've used one of the latest Christmas images for mine but of course you don't need to make a Christmas card.  Anything with an animal on will count towards the prizes although remember if you want to win the three images then you need to use a Karen's Doodles image.

Isn't he cute all dressed up in his Santa suit?

I've coloured as usual with copic markers and loads of glitter to the fur trims, papers and ribbon are Papermania and the sentiment is a freebie from Cuddly Buddly.

So that's my effor, thanks for stopping by and don't forget to visit my ST buddies for some more fab cards and of course play along with our challenge.

challenges:

I Did It Creations  - animals

Catch the Bug - animal antics

Little Claire's - Christmas
Stamptacular Sunday - you choose
