Violets are Blue!!

Back again, can you believe it, two postings in one day?!! The reason being, I've had the kids off school all week with a bug of some kind and they've gone back today so I'm trying to catch up with my cardmaking.

The PTW challenge this week is:

"....Yep, you guessed it! It's......Violets are Blue! We'd like to see Blues or Purples this week please!......."


I've used the Tilda with a Garland image which has been coloured using watercolours with a little glitter dust added to her petticoat and the centre of the flowers (doesn't show too well because the photo isn't good). Paper is Doodlebug, c.s. is Bazzill and the top piece has been run through the Big Shot with Cuttlebug circle flowers embossing folder. Sentiment is from Pink Petticoat, flower and brad are from Poppicrafts and ribbon is some which I had in my craft box.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...
