Lots to Show!

Still struggling I'm afraid, but have managed to make a couple of cards and here's one of them.....



This is for the Tilda & Co challenge.....I know, I know....I'm late with this one but thought I would have a go anyway as one of my nephews' birthday is coming up soon so thought it would kill two birds with one stone!! The challenge was to use just black and white and I really enjoyed making this. Used William the Goblin and coloured him with Prismas and Sansodor. Paper is from Pink Petticoat printed onto lightweight cardstock, c.s. is Bazzill and ribbon is from Doodlebug. Also used the Magnolia snail and left him white but added some Glamour Dust to his shell. Sentiment is from Autumn Leaves and sticky gems are Papermania.

I'm a member of the Tilda and Friends Forum and we recently did an ATC swap and I received these lovely ones back!

Annie's ATC









Shary's ATC







Sue's ATC



Aren't they gorgeous?!! Thanks Ladies!


I've also received two awards. This one was from Denise, my blogging buddy and fellow DT Member for Stamp Something....



.....and this one from Fran, my Supplies Manager and Advisor!!! She'll know exactly what I mean!!


Thank you so much....I do appreciate you thinking of me when handing out these awards...it really is a great compliment. I'm going to give the Kreativ Blogger Award to Denise because I love her designs and ideas and because it was her birthday last Friday!!!! Hope you had a great day Denise :)

The Blogging with a Purpose award I am giving to Fran because she definitely has a purpose in the blogging world.......to advise me on different makes of stamps and when they become available so that I can spend far too much money!!!! I also think her creations are fabulous!

Last but by no means least, I am giving both awards to Vanessa because I think she needs cheering up at the moment (and I love your cards too!!).

One final thing for this post (sorry it's going on a bit!). All SBS-13 Sisters - me and Vanessa have now handed over the card swap to Jo and Angie so you will be hearing from them with details of a new swap. Please show your support by joining in.

Must get the boys their lunch now.....enjoy the rest of your weekend!

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!!

THIS IS NOW CLOSED........WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER TODAY! ***** THIS POSTING WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP UNTIL 09 DECEMBER. FOR NEWER POSTS, PLEASE SEE BELOW ***** I just can't believe it's a year ago that I started up my blog and thought I was sat there talking to myself!!! and I am so thankful for all the wonderful people and friends I have made over the past year - you're such a great bunch of girls!! So, as promised, have got some candy to share with you all. This includes a Lippy Chick Flip Book for altering, High Hopes stamps, Cricketer stamp, alphabet stamps, ribbons, flowers, brads and embellishment kit (all from Poppicrafts).

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.
