Hello......

Well long time no see....its been a bit mad around here just lately.
Firstly I just wanna say a great big Thank You to my buddie Louise and her family for a fab holiday....we had such a great time can't wait till christmas then we can do it all over again....loves ya hunny xxx

Well I thought it was about time I posted some cards I have made...

this card I made for my friend who is having a rough time at the moment...
The stamps are from a set I brought whilst we were at Lou's house. Its a set made for Rememberance Day and part of the money goes to the Poppy appeal which I thought was good...

This is for a friend who is always up for a giggle and I thought the stamped image suited her perfectly..the stamp is a smirk which I absolutely love..




This forever friends stamp I brought whilst at Lou's in the sale bin it was so I just had to have lololol....



Oh yes also before I forget my darling wonderful (yes I know a bit to much, but if he reads this I want him to think he's the best...lol) has just brought me my first promarkers...and for christmas he (yes my wonderful hubby) is getting me a making memories Slice awwwwwwwwwww and I can't blurry wait

Hope your all ok I will try and catch up with my hopping xxxxx

Sketch and Stash challenge

Well after spending ages trying to decide what to use for this challange, I decide to use some of my new papers that I had brought on Monday night at my craft class....as I was in absolute agony with my knee (having fell last week and kissed the pavement outside my front door lol) my darling hubby had to help me upstairs to my class...(usually I have a good ole rummage around the shop and always buy £2 worth of papers) well after getting settled down and having a good ole chin wag I remembered I hadn't paid my fee...so I sent KT down to pay (she always comes along for the ideas) and gave her an extra £2 to get some papers. I thought her picking might change my colours that I use (black and white, orange and brown are my absolute favs at the mo) well she came back with 40 sheets of the most outragious colours....oranges, teal, red (bright red) and some lovely warm greens and yellows that I would never ever had picked up...so the papers used to make this card are new thanks to KT lol

The image is a digi download from http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/acatalog/Holly_and_Madison.html the sentiment stamp is a block stamp from Create and Craft (wilkinsons £1.80 lol) ...the flower is a download from http://fred-she-said.blogspot.com/ and as I said the papers were from my local craft shop...my trusty corner rounder thingy lol..and my procraft corner die cut...H20's to paint her and a few bits a stickles to make it look like bubbles coming outta her glass..

Thanks for looking hugs
