Kimmie's Challenge #8

Kimmie has set a challenge on her blog for some candy which is:

"Your challenge this week.....should you choose to accept it....is to use animal stamps on your card!!! This should be a pretty easy one right?? Nothin' cuter than little animals to play with"

Kimmie used a cute possum stamp on her card so thought I would stick with the Australian theme and use this koala stamp from Whipper Snapper.! I coloured him using Brushables - notice the green!! I'm getting braver as this is the second time in two days I've used that colour lol. Paper, c.s., and ribbon is from Doodlebug and the word "birthday" was made with Sue Dreamer stickers and the "boy" sentiment stamped with My Sentiments Exactly. Brads were from Poppicrafts.

Had some good news this week.....they've written off our TV and told me to go into Comet in Weymouth and spend £1599!!! Well, I was off like a shot! and what's more, because plasma prices have dropped so much in the last three years, I got a super duper TV, DVD player (with seven free DVDs!), cables, insurance, delivery and fitting and was then told I HAD(!) to spend some more!! So I bought a new Hi-fi and some cartridges for my PC and I still have £90 left.......it was like heaven......pity they didn't sell craft stuff lol! Anyway TV is coming on Sunday and we're on countdown. I don't watch loads of TV but the old set which we have at the moment has got a terrible reception and we're all pretty fed up with it. It will be good to get Sky back and have the choice of channels. Then, to top it all, my new stamps from C.C. Designs arrived and the new Pink Cat Studio stamps dropped on the doormat this morning!! It's been a good week in all!

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials. I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so. I would highly recommend it.

Happy Blogoversary To Me!!

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.

ONLY JOKING
