Hello peeps. Thank you so much for your lovely e-mails asking if I was ok - mmmmwwwaaahhhh xx. I have just had sooo much stuff going on lately, and my poor old blog has been a bit neglected - slap slap. I am going to have a blog hop fest over the next few days, but sorry for not stopping by recently. I have missed looking at all your fab stuff so I will be catching up asap.

Now first things first - my blog candy. As promised, I am definately going to put somthing on here next week. I am going to Bolton on Sunday so I will get something yummy scrummy to celebrate my 3000 hits. Anyone else going btw? Also, I have to say a big sorry to my lovely ladies at Saughall Card Club. They did some brilliant stuff last month (as always) which I never got around to posting - shame on me!! They have once again done some wonderful stuff for our challenge this month, and that will be going on the blog very soon, so keep watching folks cos there is going to be a lot going on over the next few weeks.

To celebrate the fact that I am now back in the land of the living, I did a couple of challenges. I have a couple more to do and will post them soon as lolxx.

This is Rainbow Ladies challenge. I have never done one of her challenges before but I am sure I will be again cos she has some nice stuff going on. This week is challenge 13 - in the garden and this is my card for that. The stamp is by Funstamps - Stick Leg Gardener - and I have had this for so long that I couldn't even tell you where I got it from, but it is sort of cute I thought. The wellies and little flowers are from Woodware In The Garden set, the paper is PP and the blooms, brads and ribbon is Poppicrafts.

This is my Tilda challenge and it is challenge 19, black and white - great challenge cos I love black and white. Tilda sitting on a present was paper pieced with PP papers and there is some glitter and Glamour Dust and gorgeous ribbon from my stash. Those cuteeee little buttons are from Mich @ Poppicrafts and I stuck some gems in the middle of them.
This next one didn't photograph well - I might have another go and re-do it and re-post. This is Dino, the new download from PP. Paper is PP as well and there is some gold Glamour Dust on there. He has a little star round his neck, which reminded me of Rodney in Emmerdale, but this little fella is probably a bit younger lol xxx Check out his diamond earring - how cool is he!!! Sort of Keith Richards meets the Blues Brothers. I loves him xxxxx

This one is for my friends little girl's birthday. I just got one of those spring templates and I really like using it - it's just a bit different and great for kids cards I think. The stamp is Woodware - Fairy Delight, and the paper is PP.
