Faux Somethings!

It's Friday which means it's time for the next Stamp Something challenge. This week it's Faux Somethings which can only mean one thing for me......stitching! !




I've used this Tilda with her broom.....I bought her a little while ago and thought it was about time I inked her up. I've coloured her with Prismas and Sansodor and drawn around the edge then mounted her onto Bazzill c.s. The card base has been layered with Bazzill c.s. and Karen Foster DP (which has faux stitching on!) and I've run the lime green piece of card through the Cuttlebug with the Swirls embossing folder. I then added Doodlebug faux stitches rub ons around the edges of each layer. The sentiment is a Studio G stamp, which I won on the CCT challenge site and the flowers are Prima Sprites with a small brad from my stash. Finally, three tiny sticky gems from Papermania were added to the top left-hand corner. Don't laugh at me but this Tilda reminded me of Cinderella cleaning up before her transformation! hence the reason for the sentiment I used!! Now you know I've totally lost it!!!!


Pop on over and take a look at the challenge because there are some gorgeous SU stamps on offer as a prize, and talking of blog candy, I will be posting details of mine this weekend as I have now received the various bits and pieces in the post for the prize. Just got to photograph them and I'm ready to go!

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...

I've Been Busy!!!

It's funny what happens to me when I lose my internet connection so I can't do any blogging.........I end up doing some crafting!!!! Well that's what happened yesterday afternoon and evening....my internet connection kept flicking on and off probably due to all the bad weather we experienced. Not quite so windy today but the rain is continuous! I actually finished my Easter Egg bags yesterday whoo hoo!!! Well, I say finished, I've got three more to put together but I have coloured the label and everything but I need to go to Asda and buy some more creme eggs and I'm not going anywhere today because I'm due a parcel delivery....hopefully, my camera! I hope you're ready for these photos....I was just going to put one picture on but thought hey, I had to suffer making them, they should suffer looking at them!!! The photos aren't very good I'm afraid and I'm proud to say that not one chocolate egg was harmed during the making of these bags......in ot...
