Purrfect Christmas

Just a quick little card I made to try out my new nestabilities! First set I've got, they're a bit pricy when you buy both sets (one to fit inside other) but they do make a nice job of cutting out! Think I'll be doing a few more my new nesties! The card is lilac in colour but hard to see on photo. The image is a RAK so can't tell you much about it, dp is a scrap I had left from last year. The snowflakes are punched using my new punch, glitter card I used was also a bit of scrap. Sentiment done on my PC. The card fitted in with this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge, which is "Lilac"...

New Goodies!!!

I just wanted to share this piccy off all my new goodies with you! This was what I spent all my pennies on in The Glitter Pot!


Unfortunately I haven't had time to do any crafting since I got back from my shopping trip to the UK, I promise to get on and do some cards over the weekend! I'll be starting to get withdrawl symptoms soon lol! I just haven't had a chance with work an' all, and even if I have had a bit of free time I've just been too exhausted to do anything but slouch in front of the TV!
I did however do a little project a couple of weeks ago which I haven't shared with you yet; I made a box of cards for my friend's birthday. Check out the piccy below...


I wanted also to say thanks to all of the people who visit my blog and leave lovely, kind comments. I really appreciate all the words of encouragement you leave for me. Thanks a lot!!!

I'm back! Happy but Pennyless!!!

Just a quick note to say I had a fab weekend! I haven't had much time to do anything with the blog or crafting since I got back but I will be back later in the week with some more news and cards. I have to say that The Glitter Pot was FAB!!! A small shop but PACKED with stamps etc, it was overwhelming! I could have spent a fortune in there (I spent a small fortune), what a great selection of stuff for cardmakers/scrapbookers! I also got all my Christmas shopping in whilst back in the UK! Overall a great weekend, shame it passed so quickly!

Back soon, take care xx

Off on a weekend break to...England!

Just to say I've just booked to go over on the ferry to the uk, yipee! I'm staying the weekend so will get a bit of shopping done for Xmas hopefully! I've even got a trip to The Glitter Pot planned so looking forward to that! I'll be back beginning of next week to let you know how much I spend lol! Have a fab weekend x

One of those days!

Ok I did the early shift at work this morning and when I came back around 9am (I get a break in between shifts) I parked my car, as usual outside my house. I was thinking about making myself a nice cuppa and hadn't even had the time to get out of the car when I heard ***BANG*** as a huge lorry went past, taking my wing mirror with it!!! One of the side doors on the lorry's trailer hadn't been shut properly and was swinging around as the driver was happily driving along. Just as well I was still in the car as it might have been my head that got whipped off! Anyway, the driver had to stop 'cos of the door, so we exchanged details and his company is footing the bill (I'm bl**dy sure 'cos didn't fancy paying the 100 euros for a wing mirror). I'm just glad it was the car and not me that got bashed! Then after that I went back to work and lets just say it wasn't the best day! Roll on the weekend!

On a nicer note I thought I'd share my latest card with you. Yesterday was my friend's birthday, so here's the little card I made for her! I've used the sketch by Donna on the Magnolia vs Stampavie challenge blog. The Tilda image was kindly sent to me as a RAK, isn't she cute?! She's coloured with Distress inks and w/c pencils.



I've took a couple of detail pics too, so you can see a bit closer up, I love the sentiment (a rub-on from Papermania), it says it all! The grosgrain ribbon is from Poppicrafts, the little gems, lace, heart charm and safety pin are from my stash. The paper is from Clover, I've had this in my stash for ages!





Thanks for looking, hope you had a better day than me xx

Fabulous at 40 !!!

Just made this card for my friend who's 40! It took me ages, whoa! Don't know why but I seemed to have been on with this for a while! Out of interest, how long does it take you to do a card? The sketch is from Mumur at Friday Sketchers, it's a great sketch, a bit more complicated than I usually do! Probably why it took me so long?! The image is coloured with shimmer paints, the papers are printed from a CD, Pink Petticoat (I haven't used these for a while). I've added the ribbon, buttons and gems for bling! Also used Cuttlebug embossing folders, sentiment was printed on laptop! I'm not sur if it's missing something on the left side, but haven't added anything as couldn't decide!


Thanks for looking xx
