I can almost smell the roses...

Good morning everyone are you doing anything exciting for the weekend?...we had a very very very long day yesterday, we went to Ikea super early and had breakfast there then oh boy did we shop, not only did we get all the new furniture (including some that wasn't on my list) we bought wine glasses, table mats (a bargain 50p each) and loads and loads of stuff we couldn't live without, you know what I mean don't you, the kinda stuff you didn't know you needed until you saw it...then a look around BHS and Next but we didn't buy anything there and then home to a message on the answer phone that we could get a loan of the new house keys if we would like to measure up for curtains etc, so a quick dash around, measuring, deciding where things would go...we finally sat down to eat about 9pm and then bed totally dead on our feet...so all in all a very busy day lol...right now onto my card for today which is using this stunning image from Whimsy Stamps shes called Li'l Montana I coloured her and her little furry friend with distress inks and teamed her up with these stunningly gorgeous rose papers from the Prima 6x6" Paper Pad - Tea-Thyme, cant you almost smell those roses...I didn't add any embellishments at all except for some more of the roses cut from the same papers...any excuse for a bit of cutting out lol...everything I used for my card is from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...the sketch I made up as I went along and I'm entering it for the Simon Says Stamp challenge, Crafty Catz Weekly challenge and the Dutch Dare Card Challenge...Phil's working this morning so I'm off to do a little bit of playing in my packed craft room...the boxes wont stop me though I will fight my way through lol...whatever your up to today I hope wherever you are the sun shines on you

Good morning everyone, are you all having a good week and well and happy, today is our monthly Mo's Dreamteams blog hop time...you should have arrived here from the fabulously talented Debbie's blog, if you didn't then hop on over to our lovely host this month Pops to start at the beginning and don't forget just for leaving us a comment there's a chance to win one of two $5 credits to Mo's Digital Pencil too...Pops chose the theme of Summer Tones for our hop this month and I chose to use the stunningly cute Walker for my card...I love that look of concentration on her face don't you, she always makes me smile...I coloured her with my usual distress inks and teamed her up with the amazingly gorgeous My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing - Bluebell 6x6 Pad from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...aren't those colours just beautiful, I finished my card with a lush golden coloured organza ribbon and a made up punched flower...I'm the last stop on the hop so I hope you had fun on it and enjoyed all the lush work from the team...don't forget your comments for a chance to win too...oh and read the rest of my post for more winning news

well that's my craft room all packed up and ready to go (of course I kept some things out just in case I'm in need of a play)...the good thing is I found loads of goodies to give away, I need some honest answers now though, would you be offended at being given half 12x12 sheets as a prize as I have loads and loads and loads of them...all by fabulous companies and colours and designs, let me know and I will get some sets together to give away...oh and I found some unused rubber too, I know its shocking isn't it so will do a giveaway of these too...its going to be giveaway galore isn't it as Sunday is Bunny Zoe's Crafts candy time too...so watch out for Sunday, then I will do another next week and you never know after that do you 'wink wink'...we decided not to go out last night so instead we got chinese it was scrummy too, I was so hungry which makes it even nicer doesn't it, although after a chinese I am so so thirsty for about two days after as I don't use any salt in food I think its the added salt that makes me so thirsty....oh but so worth it lol...oh I forget the fab sketch I used is from The Sweet Stop challenge and I'm also entering it for the Anything Goes Challenge and Paper Pretties challenge too...I'm going to have a chill out day today before all the running around like headless chickens starts again, whatever your up to have a fantastic day everyone

I have a lot of these already, the two sofas ordered of course, the lamps, suede rug and lightfitting so dont have to buy much else (yeah right lol)...thought you would like to see my choice of sofa that we didnt buy and I bet you see why the decor had to be changed on my moodboard lol

strange and spooky...

Good morning everyone from the land of the boxes...that's what our house is beginning to feel like, I'm even having to start climbing over them to get into rooms, although I'm sure all you people who have done this will know exactly what I mean, there always has to be a huge mess before it all comes together doesn't there...I have to tell you about the freaky, spooky weather we had yesterday...it started as a cold really dark cloudy day, then it heated up so fast there was steam coming off the roads, then the skies turned black and we had thunder, lightening, sheet rain and the temperature dropped again, then bright red skies that looked like they were on fire, it was so spooky and strange, we just needed some hail and snow to finish off the set lol...I really shouldn't watch War Of The Worlds you know, the skies looked just like it did in the movie and freaked me out totally, it was all I could do to stop myself running down the street screaming 'the world is ending' (not really lol)...right now onto my card for today which is using the beautiful Jasmine from Sugar Nellie, I love this range of stamps don't you, they are so so pretty and girlie...I coloured her with distress inks and teamed her up with a half sheet of paper I think is from Basicgrey but don't quote me on that I'm not 100% sure...I used a bit of kraft card for the design too...I finished with some lush pink ribbon and a knot, buttons and a gorgeous sparkly pink rose...the sketch is from Mojo Monday and I'm also entering it for the In The Pink Challenge and Paper Pretties challenge too...guess what I'm doing today, bet you cant lol...whatever your up to watch the skies the end of the world is coming (I'm running down the street as I type lol)

HELP!...

Good morning everyone have you got anything fantastic planned for the weekend, I would love to know what your up to...Phil rang me yesterday afternoon to say he would be home early and did I fancy going to Town for coffee, aaaahhhhh I thought brilliant because I needed to get a Hello Kitty Birthday present for my Niece...so we were walking around Tesco looking for hello Kitty stuff (which we didn't find) and this stupid woman who was totally oblivious to everyone and everything else picked up her basket and whacked me on the arm with it so hard it almost knocked me over, how ignorant is that...she didn't even say sorry or even acknowledge I was there either...well that was until I said to her as she was walking away 'I'm so sorry was my arm in the way of your basket there' (I know a bit cheeky but she asked for it)...I now have a huge red welt on my arm and four bruises, that shows how hard she hit me doesn't it...why are some people ignorant like that, if I caught someone with my basket I would be gutted and so apologetic...where have all the simple good manners gone...I think it makes it worse too that she was of my generation and age, didn't her parents teach her manners...ok rant over now lol...onto my card for today, I love love love this image she looks so tired doesn't she...she is of course from Saturated Canary and is called Pack Light, I used my usual distress inks to colour her and these lush coloured papers from the Bazzill Basics 6x6" Multipack - Vintage Marketplace from Bunny Zoe's Crafts, I love this pack so much I might have to buy it again when its finished...I added some fantastic wooden letters and heart (I bought these in a pack for £1.99 from The Works...bargain) and finished with a pink satin ribbon and blue bow...the fab sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge and I'm also entering it for the Creative Inspirations challenge ...btw I did find a fab Hello Kitty teddy and a cute little umbrella for my Niece at another shop just in case you were worried lol...Im packing (yes that again lol) a bit more today so nothing exciting for us this weekend...whatever your up to this weekend, I hope its something exciting and fun

Chris the sheep...

Good morning everyone I hope you all had a brilliant week and are looking forward to an even better weekend...I bet your all thinking shes finally got packing fever and gone nuts judging by the post title...but then there will be a teeny few of you that know what it means...isn't it funny how you can watch something over and over and still find it hysterically funny, I was sorting through a box of stuff last night and it was just one of those things I didn't want to leave as I knew I would struggle to get back to it so after Phil went to bed I watched a double episode of Father Ted on Tv while I was sorting...yes one of them was the Chris the Sheep episode, so so funny and I chuckled and laughed all the way through it, then felt daft cause I was by myself lol...if you have never seen an episode of Father Ted hop on over to YouTube and see if you can find it, its brilliant...we went to the Supermarket yesterday and then popped into an electrical store to look at dishwashers as mine is very old and I was thinking of a new one, the assistant came over and asked if she could help and I was chatting to her saying I fancied a new one but was sure my Husband would say although ours is old its fine when my Dad strolled over...the assistant says to my Dad, I'm sure you will agree with your wife she should get a new dishwasher lol...now either I look old or my Dads looking very young for his age, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry lol...I think maybe a face lift should go onto my wish list asap...anyway time for my card info now, how adorable is this fantastic I Dunno (redux), although I thought the original was fantastic I must admit this one is even cuter, she is of course from Mo's Digital Pencil...I coloured her with distress inks and teamed her up with these lush Websters Pages papers, I'm sorry I don't know their name as they weren't a full sheet but they are fab aren't they...I added a ribbon and bow in blue and a heart charm and finished with a couple of pearls...the fab sketch is from The Sweet Stop challenge and I'm also entering it for the Inky Impressions challenge and the Fab 'N' Funky Challenge too...I'm on another packing day duty today, will it never end but it will be worth it I just wish it wasn't taking so so so so long...whatever your up to today have a fab one

every girl has a bad lipstick day...

Good morning everyone I hope your all having a great week...ok hands up all those who thought I wouldn't get started again and would have another play instead...well your all right, I did start I promise I sorted out all my cards and bagged them up ready for Phil coming in to take them to the rubbish tip, which he did...but I did stop half way through for a play too....so best of both worlds...today it has to be finished though as Phil has said if it isn't done by the weekend he's going in to do it... aaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh there is no way on earth I'm letting him rummage through my stash throwing everything he thinks is rubbish away, would you?...so it has to be finished...last night I came on here to read your fab comments and wow all your ideas were fantastic, some I had already tried, like the local special needs unit, they make their own cards to sell and don't take ones from other people...I have to tell you though I had hundreds of cards and I'm not exaggerating I promise you there were hundreds, when you think I make at least one card a day you can imagine how many there was, I just wouldn't have had enough hours in the day to sort them to give to different places, I have made a promise to myself though that I will try and find a way to sell some and give others away from when I move, I know there were a lot of you shocked at the thought of me throwing them away but I honestly didnt have anything else I coukd do with them in the time I had...right now onto my card for today which is for our new challenge at Crafts and Me Challenge, this time the theme is to use something digital so anything you want as long as it has a digital element on it...isn't this stunning Crafts and Me Sara Burrier digi called Phlox Princess just stunning, but shes having a bit of a bad lippy day, I used a deep pink ink for her lips and it mustn't have been quite dry when I made the card...I didn't notice until I was doing this post and it was too late to make another, so she will just have to put up with her lippy error...I coloured her with distress inks and teamed her up with these lush papers I found at the bottom of yet another pile of cards...they are Basicgrey from the Bittersweet collection, the plain one is called Crushed Berry and the patterned is Raspberry Cream...lush rich pink colour aren't they...I finished with some deep pink lace, a winged charm and a couple of pearls...the sketch I made up as I went along but I'm entering this for the Basicgrey Challenge and the Papertake Weekly challenge ...right I'm off back to my craft room for a few hours then out for coffee with my lovely Dad who is all well and back home again, he doesn't even need his glasses, although its weird to see him walking around without them...whatever your up to today have a brilliant one
