It must Bea Friday

A really quick card today the image is a pre-coloured one from Teddy Bo (TEDDYBEA_003) and the flower layer was cut from First Edition's paper with my Silhouette which I also used to cut the blue layer and the card blank.

Tall Child thought she'd got one over on my during the week. Conversation went a bit like this:

Me: I need to know what you want on the front of Hun's card
Her: Dunno what have you got
Me: Just about anything you can think of
Her: Ok (in smug voice) I want a purple cat holding a pint of beer
Me: How about this........................ and here it is courtesy of Digistamp Boutique

Paper is First Edition and sentiment is Imagine That Stamps

Melinda with Bouquet

I've been seeing lots of clock stamps everywhere and just before I bought one I dug through my stamps and found this large one by B Line Designs.

Confession time - I've had this stamp uninked since I went to the LOTV colouring class in Harrogate last October - smack on wrist.

I have made myself use my First Edition up up and away papers so that must be a brownie point :c)

The layout is from Sketch and  and I would also like to enter the Anything Goes challenge at Lilis Little Fairies

as well as the summer challenge at Papercrafting Journey and Forever Friends as I'm sure my tall child will feel like this at the beginning of the holidays lol!
Although it's far too hot and muggy today for anything approaching bouncing!

Hugs

PS the cat was fine at the vets although there was one dodgy moment when the tail started flicking and I thought she would be examining her teeth from the inside LOL!

D'Arcy's Diaries - Mid Challenge Reminder

It's the second week of our use at least 3 flowers challenge at D'Arcy's Diaries - I'm sure this theme was chosen especially with me in mind PAH!

Trusty Papermania blossoms and card candy to the rescue lol!

I've used DARCYSDIARIES_032 and chopped her tail off as she's a mermaid - I seem to be doing a lot of that just at the moment but I have a real problem with colouring shoes and feet (or tails)

The paper which I've embossed to hopefully look like bubbles is First Edition and the sentiment is a discontinued Pollycraft stamp.

Teddy Bo Tuesday - Spring Flowers

Having forgotten to check exactly what the theme was for the current challenge - I kind of forgot the spring colours although I did remember the flowers

I've used TEDDYBOBEA_121, some sadly neglected First Edition Papers and a must have set of Carnation Creation Dies that I've maybe used once.

Rather than a card today I've made a door hanger type thingy although the weather was far too rubbish to get a decent photo of it hanging on the handle

I've used TEDDYBOBEA_121, some sadly neglected First Edition Papers and a must have set of Carnation Creation Dies that I've maybe used once. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley

Furry Hugs

Fairytale Friday - Feeling hungry?

A noseless one

I now have a very small collection of Tildas and boy is this one small!!!

It really does make her difficult to use on a relatively unfussy card so I went for busy paper it's First Edition but I have no idea which pad :c)

The dies cuts have been embossed with a Craft Concepts folder called wings - now used :c)

The little butterflies are a green woodware punch

Sentiment by Craftwork cards

Sticky gems and Pearls from Meiflower

Hope you had a great day!!

As it's tall child's birthday tomorrow we went go-karting and even though I only watched we had a great time - it was much more civilised to take a group of almost 12 year olds out than have a screaming hall full of small people although I drew the short straw and had a car full of giggling yapping girls for an hour lol!

One I forgot

A big huge wave to my new followers - thank you for stopping by

You're going to be seeing a fair bit of rubber from me in the next couple of weeks as I attempt to reduce my un-inked stamps pile so I can put them away in the boxes and hubby will be none the wiser.

What he can't see he can't ask about :c)

This is a Little Claire stamp on First Editions paper with a Craftwork Cards sentiment.

I was a very lucky girl yesterday and won the LOTV weekly candy so have a £10 voucher to spend - 2 hours later and I can't make up my mind............

If Pigs Could Fly

 Just a flying visit from me today - no pun intended I'm still having problems with Blogger letting me post piccys. And these ones are quite awful as it never got light here today so I had to use fake light which lit up the foil on the papers like a Christmas tree.

Sentiment - Craftwork Cards
