Hi there all.

ProMarkers
Hearts embossing folder
Dovecraft 'Piece of cake' paper

Pink Petticoat sentiment

A bit happier with today's card thankfully! Not happy about the task ahead of me now though - housework :(
Well the sooner I start the sooner I can indulge in craft therapy! - "Spit spot" as Mary Poppins would say.

I hope that you find some time to craft today and have a fabulous day - TTFN.

Bouquet Montage

Good morning all.

I hope that you are well and warm!

Something a little bit different from me today as in no colouring involved:

Items used:
Stampendous! Q118 Bouquet Montage stamp
Distress ink
MS border punch
Tonic paper
Pink Petticoat sentiment
Corner rounder punch
Lot's of glitter and Glossy Accents.

I keep thinking that it needs something else - nail heads maybe but then where would they go?!
Also looking at it now the distress ink has made it look a bit dirty :(
Don't you think that it's frustrating when you are not happy with your creations???

Hope that you have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by my blog - TTFN.

New Arrival

Happy Monday all!
I gather today is supposed to be 'Blue Monday' where everyone is depressed and have broken all of their New Year's resolutions. Well as I didn't make any I haven't broken any - tee hee!

On to today's card:

Apologies for the dark photo I took it yesterday late in the day.

Items used:
Forever Friends 'New Arrival' stamp set
ProMarkers
Wink of Stella pen
Stampin Up 'Adorning Accents' embossing folder and word punches
Pink Petticoat sentiment

Nice and simples today!

I'd better go and have lunch now as my tummy is rumbling! Thanks for stopping by my blog - TTFN.

Hearts away

'Happy Friday' all!

No work for me today as my youngest is not well. So soup and TLC is in order.

Some fabulous news though some of my birthday goodies have arrived - YAY!

Here is my card for today:

Items used:
My new Penny Black stamp 'Hearts away' - cute isn't he!!
ProMarkers
LOTV paper
Pink Petticoat sentiment
Josy Rose nail head

I would normally add Glossy Accents to the balloons but for some reason it takes the colour out of red - weird!

I followed the sketch at Sketch Saturday but couldn't get the sentiment banner V's right so I cut them off! Hope that this is allowed.

I have LOT'S of lovely stamps to colour now so I will be kept busy. I do so think that crafty goodies should be prescribed by doctors to make people feel better !! Although I also think that there should be a crafter's help line for addicts!

Anyway thanks for stopping by and TTFN.

Hello land of blog and all you lovely bloggers!

I won't mention the weather as it's yuk, so best not look out of the window.

Mr postman still hasn't delivered my craft goodies and I am getting very impatient!

Today's card is made for the  Clearly Besotted Challenge where the theme is 'Love':

here it is without the flash

and with the flash

items used:
Clearly besotted 'Full of surprise' for the hearts background and stamped 'you' , 'Butterfly wishes' for the butterflies
chipboard letters, gems, tag punch, eyelet and string from stash.

Clearly Besotted have just had some lovely new stamps released but silly me wasn't quick enough and in the blink of an eye they were gone :(
I think that they are due back in stock in February so I will have to wait until then.

So that's it from me, thanks for stopping by - TTFN.
