What A Cutie!

I told you I'd been colouring with my new pens and the following card was made up with an image which Vanessa kindly sent me......isn't she a cutie! (the image, not Vanessa!!!) I was quite pleased with the way the colours turned out on this one.


The papers are from DCWV Pocket Full of Posies stack and c.s. is Bazzill Bling. I actually used my Quickutz Flourish die for the first time - it's been sat on my desk unopened for about a month!! Flowers and brads are from my stash. Finally, added a couple of Papermania sticky gems to the flourish. I really must practice my photographic skills as you can't see the gorgeous glitter in the papers and the sheen on the Bazzill c.s. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated!

Must go and sort my hair out now as I'm meeting one of my pals for coffee and might just pop into Craft Central (it's on my way home!). Hope you have a nice dry day today - it's actually stopped raining down here so I've tempted fate and put the washing out!

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...
