oops...

Good morning everyone I hope your all well and happy, well my glasses are fixed thank goodness it was either the opticians or staple them to my head and I couldn't find any pink staples so the opticians it was, they even moulded the ends to a deeper curve so they wont fall off now...did you ever have one of those days when everything you touched you dropped, I call them cack handed days, I was colouring and dashing around late yesterday afternoon, got three cards ready for photos then I spilled my colouring water on them, I saved this one but only after the water had washed over her a little bit, I managed to save the hair with a it of dark brown but shes a little bit washed out on the face skin tones, I didn't have time to redo her and do the paper piecing again so had to just use the card, I hate my colouring not being right, the other two had to be binned though...right now I have explained about my card I will tell you about my card for today lol...its for our new challenge at Just Magnolia & hAnglar & sTanglar challenge, this time its our wonderful June's choice and she chose the beautiful combo of Blue & White, I thought straight away of soft baby blues but then I bought this amazing paper pad from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...its one of the new Glitz pads and is called Vintage Blue, I am loving the pads I bought from these new ones they are lush papers and I love the patterns in this one, I haven't a clue what this fabulous Tilda is called but I coloured (and water washed lol) her with distress inks and paper pieced her beautiful dress...I added some lace, 2 ribbons and a Prima Audrey Rose - Snow rose and a few pearls to finish...the lush sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and I'm also entering it for the Simon Says Stamp challenge and Charisma Cardz challenge...I'm remaking my two cards today so don't think I will be heading out...have a wonderful day everyone and watch out for glasses full of inky water

splish splash...

Good morning everyone, I hope your weather is better than we have...we had all four seasons yesterday even snow and hail...nice to see Spring has arrived lol, I think the weather was the inspiration for my card today...I had a semi successful crafting day, one of those two step forwards one step back kinda days I got a few things done but not as many as I wanted, I even had a really early night last night 10pm would you believe that's unknown for me to go to bed before 1am...I was shattered by 8pm and could have gone to bed then, so cup of chamomile tea in hand of I popped with the best of intentions to watch a movie in bed I saw about 10 min's of it lol...right now onto my card for today inspired by our wonderful Spring weather, I used this amazing Singin' in the Rain image from Mo's Digital Pencil, isn't she beautiful, that umbrella and raincoat just cried out to be paper pieced didn't they, I know I'm a bit of a Mo freak but this one has just the perfect little face doesn't it...I coloured the rest of her with distress inks...the fabulous papers I think are from a DCWV paper pad, I was just attracted to the colours, they suit her don't you think...the letters are from the same pad I think, well they match anyway...I finished the card with a load of different ribbons and a bow made with 15mm Organza Ribbon LIGHT PINK from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop, this ribbon has a lovely stiff feel to it, perfect for bows and holds its shape fantastically...the fabulous sketch is from Digital Tuesday challenge and I'm also entering it for the My Mums Craft shop challenge and Papertake Weekly challenge...I'm off to give myself a shake and a shower because my glasses fell off again yesterday, at least it wasn't down the toilet this time but just into my lunch, so I'm off to the opticians to get them tightened and reshaped...whatever your up to have a brilliant one

smudged makeup...

Good morning everyone I hope your all well...did you see my post last night, its just below, Im still a little giddy from it, I just wish I could get a magazine quickly but it looks like I will have to buy one on the net because my nearest stockist is about 65 miles away...but never mind I will get one to keep in my memories box...we had some fantastic news yesterday, my wonderful Dad went for his eye appointment at the private hospital and apparntly got on so well with the surgeon that he decided to go ahead with the operation...and when is it...next Thursday would you believe, three days after his Birthday...in fact the surgeon said if he had been three appointment earlier he could have had it done tomorrow...I am so so excited for him, he sounded so pleased on the phone it was a huge relief to hear him so positive and upbeat...roll on next Thursday now...right now onto my card for today which is for the digi teams new challenge at Crafts & Me challenge, our new challenge is Things with Wings and our lovely Rose chose this weeks theme...how amazingly beautiful is this image from the new release from Crafts and Me, she is by the wonderfully talented Sara Burrier and is called Midnight Warrior, she is amazing to colour, I used my usual distress inks and glittered her wings, I smudged her make up with the brown from the hair though so she has a bit of brown on her face...the incredible papers are from the Graphic45 Steampunk Debutante range and is called Steampunk Debutante...I love cutting out the elements on paper and this is perfect to do that with...I finished with some 15mm Berisford Small Check Gingam HUNTERS GREEN from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop but I distressed it with Antique Linen distress inks to make it a little darker and a few sticky back pearls, the sentiment is cut from the papers, I also cut one of the beautiful roses to add to it too...the fab sketch is from Sketch Saturday and Im also entering it for the Allsorts challenge too, I was sure there was another challenge but Im sure it will come to me during the day, or I will find it on the floor where it leaked out the hole in the back of my head lol...Im having a crafting day today as I have a few things to catch up with...whatever your up to have a fantastic day and watch out for smedged make up

every girl need a set of pink twinkly wings...

Good morning everyone I hope your all well...we had gorgeous sunshine yesterday, isn't it amazing what a little bit of sunshine does for peoples moods, everyone seemed to be lighter and smiling, but I don't know if it was the sun or not but I saw two traffic accidents yesterday both involving children being picked up at school...not serious thank goodness just a couple of dents in the side and back...I hate the thought of kids being in accidents like that though don't you, there's only one thing wrong with sunshine, it shows up the dust something shocking doesn't it...I had a mooch and a bit of a shop yesterday and bought a couple of gift cards for my beautiful Daughters other half's birthday which was yesterday, then they came for dinner last night and I even got him a cake complete with candles, we sang to him and made him blow them out too, hes one of life's sweeties, such a kind and gentle soul who wouldn't hurt a fly and would give you his last breath and most important he worships our Daughter...I always buy gift cards for men's presents as I think unless they have said they would like something specific they are the hardest people to shop for so a clothes shop voucher and a HMV voucher should sort him out with a game and a new shirt I think...I don't somehow think he would have appreciated socks lol...ok now onto my card for today which is using this fantastically adorable C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie Nymph Lucy isn't she gorgeous and look at those fantastic wings, I coloured her with distress inks and paper pieced her dress...aren't those papers just lush they are from the new Glitz range and these are from the Glitz 6x6" Paper Pack - Pretty in Pink pad, I love this new paper range and bought two of them...the papers and stamp are both from Bunny Zoe's Crafts
I finished with some black and pink ribbons and a circular sentiment, I also cut out one of the teeny roses from the paper for the centre of the sentiment...the sketch is from the Totally Gorjuss challenge and I'm also entering it for the DYSU challenge and Fairy tale challenge ...I'm hanging around the house today until I hear how my Dad got on with his appointment and if the sun is still shining I might have to do a little bit of dusting, I know I shouldn't mention the H word but needs must when the sun shows it up doesn't it...whatever your up to today step away from the dusters and have a brilliant one

all good plans...

Good morning everyone I hope you all had a fantastic weekend...as you can guess from the title things didn't quite go to plan yesterday, we went to collect my lovely Dad and he was hacking and coughing, I don't know if I have mentioned it but he has COPD so a cough like that usually means a chest infection at best...so we spent a load of the afternoon ringing Doctors and getting prescriptions then hunting down a chemist to get it filled, so lunch in the Town just didn't happen but the important thing is he is sorted and can still go for his appointment on Tuesday...so my wonderful Phil has taken him to Belfast very early this morning and he will be away for most of the week I think as my other Sister from England is there visiting too...I had a lovely few hours hopping around your blogs last night and plan on doing loads more tonight too...I have been a shockingly bad blogger lately but the days just seem to fly past...I still cant believe its March already it only seems five minuets since Christmas doesn't it...anyway onto my card for today which is for our new challenge at The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop challenge and this month its my choice of theme and I chose Spring Colours...I love the soft gentle colours of Spring don't you and they always make a card look so fresh, so dig out all those lush coloured spring papers and I cant wait to see what you all come up with...I used this amazing new release digi from Crafts and Me, shes called Cali Girl and I coloured her with distress inks...the fantastic papers are one of my latest buys from Bunny Zoe's Crafts, they are from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline - Howdy Doody 6x6 Pad, how lush are they...the ribbon is of course from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and is Sheer Elegance 25mm - Pink, isn't it so soft and beautiful, I also used some Leaf Trim - Olive Green but cut the leaves out and used them with some beautiful roses to finish the sketch is from The Sweet Stop and I'm also entering it for the Simon Says Stamp challenge and Cardmadfairys digi challenge...I'm off out to Town on my own today as I didn't get a chance to do the shopping I needed yesterday and you never know might even get a bit of crafting done this afternoon too...whatever your up to today I hope it goes to plan and if you have time pop on over to The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop challenge blog to have a lot at the lush work from the rest of the team

all about the paper...

Good morning everyone are you having a fantastic weekend?...anything exciting happening?, I would love to know what you thought of the Sugar Nellie two day hop and which is your favourite new stamp...now I need an aaaaaawwwwwwww from you all, I didn't even get through to the next round of the Graphic45 call, but then it was a massive long shot going in for it, its mainly a scrapbooking DT I think and I don't scrapbook so I'm not disappointed at all and dont take things like that personally, there are many reasons to pick someone for a DT and I just didnt fit this one...I have fabulous news about my wonderful Dad, he got his appointment for his eye measuring would you believe the end of May and was told it would take at least 4 months after that for his operation appointment so we all had a good talk and decided he should have it done in a private hospital, he has an appointment on Tuesday and all being well his operation will be 29th March, wow how fast is that...I am so so excited for him he has been really struggling bless him, hes an avid reader, in fact I have always said its a good thing toilet paper doesn't have writing on it or we will never get him out of the loo, but he has been struggling the last few months to see to read...that will all be behind him this time next month and I cant wait for him to be able to drive again so we can be off on our jaunts together, we have both missed them so much, so keep your fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for him...right now onto my card for today which is using this fabulous Some Odd Girl image called Sweet Kaylee, I bought her ages and ages ago and looked for the link to her but cant find it in their shop...I coloured her with distress inks and used a half sheet of an amazingly coloured double sided Basicgrey Marjolaine collection paper called Mint Fudge, isn't that a fabulous name and it really suits the paper perfectly doesn't it, I let the paper dictate the sketch as the large flowers are cut from the reverse and I punched more flowers from the paper, all I needed to add was some lush coloured buttons (and no I didn't swallow any lol)...I'm entering this for the CES challenge, Delightful Challenge and the One Stop Craft challenge, I have been so so busy lately I haven't had any blog hopping time but I will tonight so I cant wait to see what you have all been up to...we are taking my Dad to town today for a little mooch and maybe a spot of lunch...whatever your doing I hope its a good day for you

the papers are from the same Stampin Up set as yesterdays card, I have no idea what you call this type of scene card, I made three layers and the back one I inked some clouds, I think you can just see them, should have been a bit heavier handed I think lol...I think the card sort is either a shadow box card or box card but I'm probably wrong, let me know if you know...I finished with a printed sentiment and a scattering of different size butterflies...I love these cute Ribonita's and cant wait to ink the rest up...the next stop on our hop is the super talented Tiet's

look what I got...

Hi everyone, me again but this time I want to show you my new toy...have you noticed that since Christmas my card photos have got a lot clearer and brighter...well I'm sure you remember how many times I was screaming because I couldn't get any decent daylight photos, I think I broke a couple of eardrums doing it lol...well the fabulous people at The Daylight Company took pity on me and gave me one of these amazing Clip-on Studio Lamp and Stand light to have a play with

yes I know...how lucky am I. I must admit when it arrived I had an open mind but didn't hold out much hope that it would make a huge difference...so when I got my camera at Christmas I had a bit of a play and the more I played the more impressed I was

I don't have a fancy light tent or box or anything but use my fireplace mantle to take photos as its the closest high point to a large window, so you can see I don't use any background or anything and the light being on a stand means I can move it up and down to whatever height I need, in fact I used it above the pencil box I made for the Graphic45 post

I have to admit though this has been such a fantastic tool, I don't have to dash round finishing cards before the sun goes in (we have all been there haven't we lol) and can take photos anytime day or night even without sun...and to show you the difference I took two shots with and without the lamp at exactly the same time

this is without the light
with the light
isn't the difference amazing, I am mighty impressed aren't you...oh and by the way just before I leave you in peace The Daylight Company also have a Facebook page if you want to check it out...enjoy the rest of your night and I will speak to you all tomorrow for the start of the two day Sugar Nellie blog hop

Tall enough to be continued...

Good morning everyone, I'm feeling loads better today, I decided to give myself a shake, take some tablets and have a little play yesterday so I was sorting out some buttons and took my two tablets...little sort more then looked at my desk and there was a tablet...yep you guessed it, I took one tablet and one button lol...its not the first time I have done something like this and nearly swallowed a charm one day, see what crafting does for you, distracting or what and so strange but I spent loads of time wondering what colour button it was lol...my card for today is for our new challenge at Colour Create challenge and this time I'm the host, if you remember a few weeks back I made a yellow card and I loved the colour so much it inspired my choice of YELLOW, GREY, BLACK & WHITE and my added extra option is flowers, I hope your all going to join in, I cant wait to see what you come up with, I am totally gobsmacked at what our team made and they really seemed to like the colours, I hope you do to. I used the fantastic Introducing Oskar from Mo's Digital Pencil, isn't he fantastic and as soon as I saw him I knew what the sentiment would be, my Mum used to say this all the time when she saw a tall man...I coloured him with distress inks and the gorgeous yellow paper is a double sided scrap so I haven't a clue which make it is, so if one of you know leave me a comment telling me please...I printed the sentiment and added a few punched flowers and finished with some buttons...oooohhhh ssssshhhhh don't mention buttons lol...the fab sketch is from Papertake Weekly challenge and I'm also entering it for the Creative Card Crew challenge and Sweet Stampin challenge...I'm off to get some crafting done now and will be back a little later to show you a new toy I have so keep an eye out for it...whatever your up to today have a brilliant sunny yellow one
