Happy St. Patricks Day~

Hi Girls, Happy St. Patricks day for those of you who celebrate it.

I don't, but that doesn't stop me making a card in my favorite colour....Green!



I have had this little GF stamp (along with a boy) for about three weeks, I managed to have the winning bid on Ebay,so was delighted.
The two images comes in their underwear!! AND some clothes for you to PP which is what I have done here, using this sweet tiny spotty green Memory Box paper. All these papers are Memory Box, my favorite one is the very pale green with the script on, just love it.
Coloured with pro-markers, Hobbyhouse pearls and a Marianne die added. The ribbon was bought at Harrogate show last September,and as I am off there the day after tomorrow (OOh) I will be looking out for more of this, it's been so useful and I love it.

Home "Tweet" Home~

Hello ladies, hope I find you all well.

Cannot believe that next month it will be a whole year that I have been blogging....I can remember my Friend Shelley saying, get yourself a blog you will love it. I came home and sat for a few hours with hubby, getting very frustrated, trying to set it up....That was that, once I was up and running there was no stopping me.
I can say I love my blog and you blog buddies, don't really know what I did before it!!
Thank you to all my followers, I am hoping to post my first ever candy (if I can managed to do it!) on my Blog Birthday, so watch this space!!


I did not make this card today, I made it last weekend. My friends daughter and her boyfriend are moving into their first home together at the end of the month, I wanted to make them a nice "New Home" card, so here it is.

I love this Mo Manning digi image, so cute, two lovely little cuddly birds, just nice for a housewarming card.
The gorgeous papers are one of my all time favorites, I still have a couple of sheets left, but I am going to try to get more when I am away this weekend, it is from Bo Bunny, and the brown border strip is the reverse of the pink flower/heart paper, just lovely, I have used it loads.
The flower is NS, border punch is MS, pearls are Hobbyhouse, coloured with Pro-markers and finished with a Key charm from my stash.

LOTV Topper Card~

Hi Girls, Just a quick post tonight before bed and my Craft Fair in the morning, hope it goes well, made lots of craft item, just hope people like them!

Can I apologise for the horrendous photograph, I am no David Bailey, I am rubbish at it, but hey ho, can't be good at everything!! LOL


I have made a card using a LOTV image, but it NOT a stamped image, it's a topper. I bought loads of these last year and they have come in really handy when pushed for time, they are so sweet and I love this one with it's "cookie" little girl and her cat!



I have used some of my New papers from, Memory Box Minuet, Dovecraft Tea House and First Edition Desert & Blooms...Was meant to be saving my money for next weekend, but I just couldn't help but have these packs when I saw them, they are all stunning.
I have used my NS small and large flower punch and leaf, Hobbyhouse pearls and an old sentiment I bought off QVC. All finished off with Stardust Stickles.

Door Hanger~

Hiya Girls~

I have been busy all week, "Crafting" and so not been able to post any projects 'till now.
I have a Spring Fair of Sunday, and I have been on "Make it" mode all week. Up to now I have made Cards, Bags, boxes, Notelets and Door Hangers, and it is one of them I have to show you today.




They are only a quick make, nothing over the top, but when you are making a few it's hard to spend too much time on them, as you need to get on and make more.
I tried to keep it Girly,so used Pink of course, and the lovely Magnolia Tag (I cannot get enough of using this!) The papers are from my new stash by Dovecraft called "Tea House". They are ever so sweet, full of cakes and tea pots, flowers and dots, a nice pinky/greeny mix.
The Big Swirl is Magnolia as is the Tag, and I have used my circle and scalloped circle Nestie for the hole in the top. I have inked all the edges with Memento Cotton Candy ink.

Fly Me to the Moon....

Hello Again...

Are you singing the Fly me to the Moon Song?

I was, the minute I saw the challenge at Polycraft Monday Challenge.
When I saw the challenge I knew I had this cute Leanne Ellis "Moon Beam" stamp. It is over three months old and I have not used it yet! Naughty me!




Anyway knew it would be perfect for this challenge, She is so sweet isn't she?
I have used up all my bits of paper stash, so don't know any names, sorry, but I do know the gorgeous ribbon punch is brand new Anna Griffin, the sentiment is by The Greeting Farm. I have coloured with Pro-Markers added a tad of stardust stickles, added ribbon and Hobbyhouse Gems. DONE!

Easter Boxes~

Hello Girls~

What a gorgeous day here today, lots of sunny patches, mind you I spent the morning in work and then the afternoon in the local hospital with my sister. I am happy to report she has had her plaster cast removed (6 weeks it's been on) and although she has been given the all clear, she has got to be very careful as it's not fully healed. She is ecstatic, I have never seen her so happy!!

Before I get to the card I have made tonight, I thought I would share with you what I have been doing over the last two days....

On Dorcas's blog she showed this box template and because she "kindly" had the size in inches, I thought I would have a go.....two days later I had made 10 of them to take to the Craft Fair on Sunday this coming weekend, hope the ladies there like them as much as I do, and if they don't, the my mum's at Playgroup might get given them filled with goodies for Mother's Day! I have yet to put some lovely tissue paper inside them just to get them ready to fill with choccie's for Easter.

Show and Tell~

Hiya Girls~


What a super day here again weather wise. I had work this morning and then popped to see my mum and sister in the afternoon.

I have been busy making Engagement invites for the last two days, so no cards to show you this week.

I have got something gorgeous to show you tho'..............






I was so excited to get these hAngler Stamps in the post today. I only bought them two days ago after a heads up from Tab to say they were on Ebay. (Thank you Tab).
I was amazed I managed to get them (usually miss out). I think there were about 12 sets altogether and by the time I had paid for mine through Pay Pal, they had all gone...How lucky was I?
(might have to do the lottery now!)
They came all the way from Sweden, yet they took no time at all to come, I was not expecting them until at least Monday next week, so was amazed when they came today.

Anyway I am going bonkers, as I have not been able to ink them up....Just have not had time. Once my invites are out the way I will have a lovely play....BUT for now my paying customer comes first!!

Hope you like the invites I am doing. I have used the LOTV stamp (thank you Shelley for loaning it to me) and just kept the whole card Black & White as instructed. I think it works great and looks really nice. I stamped and embossed the image, cut the circles on the cuttlebug with a Nestie. The doily edge is made using one of my MS patp punches. The sentiment is pc generated and the cards used are small 5x5.




Totally Gorjuss--Black &? (in my case White)

Digi Doodle Shop--Black and White
