It's Our Danni Bear!!!!

Firstly I think I should explain my title for this post!! Our eldest Danni (Didge the one that does the digi images) has red hair & Debbi who used to be on the DT at Passion for Promarkers has kindly done a tutorial on red hair. I asked her after spending ages trying to get it to look right & failing miserably lol.....

Well this week Crafty Emma's Store Challenge the theme is Autumnal ...so I used one of my much neglected digi images & turned Miss Anya into our Danni Bear lololol 

I just love how her hair has turned out, think I will be using this colour combo lots!!

Arrgghhhh getting so frustrated, we are homeless in 5 weeks, 6 days arggghhhh...have just spoken to Hazel(dido) & decided to go & live in her backgarden lol...make sure your ready for us hun lololol

I made this card last night whilst trying to chill, got myself all stressed out house hunting..lol not good!!!

Well, we had some absolutely fantastic entries to last weeks 'It's A girl Thing' over at 'The Crazy Challenge' I had great fun looking at all your creation they were fantastic...Thank you & I look forward to visiting your blogs again this week.

On to this weeks challenge 'Black, White & Pink' chosen by our Georgia. We have got a new sponsor this week Robyn's Fetish Stamps  the winner will be able to pick two images of their choice., & they have got some gorgeous images.

All the DT had a few images to play with and they are really cute....heres what I did with mine.

I really enjoyed this challenge never done a colour one like this, have done black, white & one other, but never had all three chosen for me. It was great fun.

Really lucky there are loads of different shades of pink in the Promarkers.

I thought this little sentiment was just about perfect to go with this little cutie.

Found a few more online first thing this morning, phoned up & they had already gone...how is that possible, they get updated 9am I phoned at 9.25 whats that all about? Managed to find one that hasn't gone, but can't see it till Wednesday...argggggggghhhhh I could cry!!

I'm not gonna be running around like a headless chicken this year ;0)

This business off moving house is horrible, we have just been to view a house (a really big nice yummy house) and they haven't got central heating or double glazing in, I admit the bedrooms were massive and the frontroom was really big as well but the kitchen was pokey and the back garden was just mud!!! and the window frames were metal, I remember my nan having those when |I was growing up and they used to freeze on the inside...no I don't think so lolol..not a chance with my old bones...

Anyways, less yakkin' more cards, well one card...I got this image when Nige got me Dustin Pikes blogoversary special the one with the loadsa fabby images for £6 or something lke that...well I printed this little fella off ages ago and forgot about him, until today when I decided to have a rumage in my digi box....

I think hes a proper cutie...

Where's the sunshine gone :0( not a happy bunny

Well after our fabby weekend away,  my sore bits aren't quite as sore today thankfully, it was driving me mad. Anyway wheres the blinkin' sun gone? Its bloomin' freezing here today, I got my fluffy boot slipper thingys back on because my little toes are soooooo cold...

Anyways on with my lastest card, I thought a Christmas card was quite apt for the weather today...lol I know its only cold but the difference from the weekend is unbelievable...

I tried everywhere last year to get this little man, but I only found him at a silly price. But just after Christmas I found him on Glitterpot (they've still got a sale on some stamps are only £3) and he was half price, think I only paid £2.25 or something like that.

I used two of the last colours I brought,  for his jacket, &  I think they are yummy together.
