I found some...

Good morning everyone how was your weekend anything exciting happening...we didn't get up to much at all really just a quick visit into town for nothing exciting (that's unless you call light bulbs exciting)...I was having a bit of a search of my craft room though and I found four small sheets of my last paper pad so happy days at least I could have a colour and know the inks would spread well anyway...I will just have to scrap the last pad I think, it sticks in my throat a bit though as they are super expensive and I hate wasting things like that...I was thinking though (always a dangerous idea lol) maybe I should cut a bit of a sheet and send it into the manufacturers and see what is wrong with it...might be worth a shot don't you think...thank you all so much for your get well wishes for my poor Dads eye, it spread across his face a little but I'm pleased to say its now clearing up so at least no more freaking out when I look at him thank goodness lol...btw let me know if you think my colouring is a lot better with these old papers than with the rubbish ones, I think it is but it might be wishful thinking...anyway onto my card for today which is using a bit of the old paper to colour...this little cutie is of course from Mo's Digital Pencil...isn't she so so beautiful and I love the toy rabbit don't you...shes called Em Praying and I used my distress inks to colour her...the lush papers are from the Kaisercraft - Bundle of Joy 6.5"x6.5" Paper Pad from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I love the soft gentle colours in this pad don't you...I added a huge bow made from Organza Ribbon - Dark Green (25mm Wide) ,a heart embellishment I found in a box and a few pearls from the Mixed Bag 3mm Flat backed Pearls to finish...the fab sketch is from the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 challenge and I'm also entering it for the Crafty Calendar Challenge, Sister Act Challenge and Papertake Weekly Challenge too...I have a few things to do today so its out and about for me...best get the war paint on...whatever your up to today have a good one and wherever you are I hope your safe and dry

Hi everyone I bet you all thought I had disappeared didn't you...well despite all your prayers and well wishes and good thoughts the thing we were dreading happened so over the last few days we have been trying to get our heads around it...don't worry its not life threatening or anything like that but it is life changing so it will take a little while for us to get a grip off...I cant really talk about it in depth atm as there are family members who don't know and it wouldn't be fair to them for them to read it on here would I...all I can say is please please please keep sending us those positive vibes...we really need them atm, we are trying to stay positive but its super hard sometimes isn't it...right now back to posting I think...oooohhhh the weather here is so yucky today there is hardly a drop of light in the sky and its being like evening all day long hence the rubbish grey photo...so apologies in advance...what have you all been up to since I last spoke to you?...anything exciting or super interesting...go on spill the beans lol...right now for my greyish card for today...how cute is this little fella, look at that sad little face...only Mo from Mo's Digital Pencil could draw this cutie...hes called Broked B C and I coloured him with my usual distress inks and yes I am still struggling along with that paper lol...the lush papers I used for my card are from the Basic Grey Fresh Cut 6" x 6" Paper Pad I got from Bunny Zoe's Crafts and all I added to finish was a few gorgeous yellow buttons...I was going to add some ribbon but didn't think it needed it...what do you think?...the lush sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 challenge and I'm also entering it for the Doodle Pantry Challenge and the Fairy tale Challenge too...I'm off to sample some lush home baking now and then an evening in front of the tv...what you been up to today?...I will speak to you all bright and early tomorrow and whatever your up to for the rest of the day have fun

so very loved...

Good morning everyone hows your weekend going? did you have a good day yesterday, I hope you did...the ice was terrible here yesterday and I went onto the deck and nearly ended up on my tooshie a couple of times lol...we went out with my Dad for a coffee and a few shops to get today's lunch and would you believe I forgot all about going to the craft shop...I know shock horror eh, I'm sure that's breaking one of the crafter's commandments lol...I got a bit distracted in the Poundstore...I just cannot go into that shop and buy just one thing can you...£15 later and a couple of bags purchased the craft shop went completely out of my mind so dear me I will have to go during the week instead...my card for today is using this gorgeous little girlie cutie...I will give you three guesses who drew this beauty...yeah like you need three, shes from Mo's Digital Pencil and is called Trudy's Party Dress, shes a stunning dressing up doll and comes with a dress for you to design in whatever paper you want...I cut the top of the dress and just used the skirt this time, but I think it works great doesn't it with her little undershirt glittered instead of the dress top...I coloured her with my usual distress inks and teamed her up with some amazing papers from the lush Kaisercraft - Curiosity 6.5"x6.5" Paper Pad, I bought this from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I love Kaisercraft pads don't you not only are the designs beautiful and perfect for cutting out but there is four pages of paper sentiment tags, embellishments and ribbons to use on your cards or pages too...the so very loved sentiment, rose button and skirt are all from the pad too...all I added to my card was three cute buttons from my stash...the lush sketch is from the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Challenge and I'm also entering it for the Creative Moments Challenge and Digi Galore Challenge too...we are having the whole family over for lunch today so would need to get sorting veg and things out I think...I hope the roads aren't too slippy today as I worry about them all driving in this weather but then I guess its a Mums job to worry isn't it...whatever your up to today have a warm snug one
