Easy Breezy :)

 

 

 

Good morning sweet peeps.
It’s my turn to host the post over at the DTDF Cutey Craft blog today.

And ….

… this is what I did.

The super sweet  image I used is called Breeze and she is one of the new CC Designs images.

I coloured her with the following Copics -

Skin E000, E00, E13, R00, R02,
Hair E31, E35, E39, E50
The rest E30, E31, E35, E50, G99, V000, V04, V06, V12, V15, V91, V95, YG00, YG03, YG95

The pretty paper is Maja Design - Coffee in the Arbour - Grandma's Old Porcelain.

I really struggled to choose which side of this paper to use as they are both so gorgeous.
Mrs Predictable wanted the plaid and Mrs Dosomethingdifferentforachange  wanted the floral.

Mrs Predictable won.

She usually does, bless her!!!!

 

 

The bloom was made using Marianne Design Creatables - Flowers Style 1  and Marianne Design Creatables - Flower – LR0107 dies. 
Apols for the blurry pic!!).

I topped it off with one of Marys  14mm Acrylic Gems from The Ribbon Girl.

 

I printed the sentiment out and added the little flourish from the Marianne Design Creatables - Flowers Style 1 set

The little clouds are Joy Crafts Clouds – sooo sweet : )

 

 

A double double bow made from Mary’s gorgeous Vintage Seam Binding.
The colours I used are Mauve Mist and Mauve Lilac.

 

 

So there you go – all done, and I was quite pleased with the way this bad boy turned out.

Right I’m off.
Have the best day and I’ll see you soon as soon.
Till then, hugs to all xxx

It’s Just NOT Fair :(((

 

 

 

Good morning sweet peeps.
Dawny P here and a happy Thursday to everybody.

I did the dreaded weigh in on Monday and I was not a happy bunny.
More of that in a sec.

It’s my turn to do the post today over at the DTDF Cutey Craft blog and my card features a very sweet lil poppet called Dawn : )

She’s Little Dawn to be exact (oooh I wish!!) and she’s a Nellie Snellen image.

Her full title is Little Dawn - Watering and here’s …..

… what I made with her.

I coloured her with the following Copics -

Skin – E000, E00, E13, R00, R02
Hair – E31, E34, E35, E50
The rest – E30, G0000, G000, G21, G94, YG00, YG03, YG95, YR02, YR04, YR20, YR61
and I outlined her with Glamour Dust.

The papers are from an Echo Park Sweet Day 6x6 Pad – such sunny colours : )

 

I thought I’d add a few clouds to mirror the paper here and these were made using the Joy Crafts Clouds set.
I gave them a bit of bling as well (sometimes I just can’t help myself!!).

 

These blooms were made from the paper pad and I used a Die-namics Rolled Daisy die. 
You can just about see the Francesca Border here and there’s also some leaves which I punched from a Martha Stewart Punch - Frond Branch.

 

 

 

I made a little bow arrangement thingie using some 23mm White Organza Ribbon, some Peach Seam Binding, an Aqua Small Striped Button and a bit of string I found in the bottom of my haberdashery stashery!!!

The ribbons and button are from my lovely Mary over at The Ribbon Girl.

 

I also used some DCWV hessian paper but I have to say I am not at all fussed on it if I’m being honest.
I couldn't get it to cut very well through the die cutting machine and it didn't guillotine well either – sorry, I’m just sayin peeps!!!

 

Well I was not happy on Monday I can tell you.

On Sunday, Rich and I sat discussing the weight loss thing – he is on the diet as well – and he fessed to having had  a Freddo bar AND a ruddy Ripple this last week. Well I told him that that was his weight loss down the Swanee fo sho. And then  proceeded to feel vey smug because apart from going out last Tuesday, I have stuck religiously to the diet.

So Monday is our weigh in day.
Guess who hadn't lost a single bloody ounce and guess who had lost 2lbs?

So the tables were well and truly turned and it was his Lordship's turn to feel smug while I just felt thoroughly hacked off.

Not a single drop of vino has passed my lips in weeks, no cakes, no choccie, no biscuits, no nothing.

I could have cried.

I was probably being paid back for being a smug old smart ass.
That will teach me I guess.
Next time I will just smile sweetly and say well done dear for having all the choc and 25 portions of pudding and  a huge plate of ribs with JD sauce (while I just had steak and veg) and still managing to lose weight while I have lost nowt, yadda yadda.

I’m not at all bitter, (cry cry) !!!

I haven’t told him but I had a sneaky weigh in this morning and there’s a 1lb gone – woohooooo : ))))

Right I’m off.

I’ll see you soon as soon,  have a great weekend and huggiest of hugs to all xxx

 

Here’s A Shock for Ya!!!

Hi there peeps and hope you are all OK today.

Now I did say on Tuesday that I had a card to share and indeed I have.

And it comes with a bit of news.

I had a lovely email from Lou, asking me if I would like to go back to the Dies To Die For DT so I said a big YES PLEASE.
So poor Tracy has got me back lol.
And it is sooo good to be back as well : ))

So today is my first day doing the DTDF Cutey Crafts blog post and …..

… here’s my card.

I have to say that it felt quite strange colouring a non LOTV image, but nice all the same.

The image is Sweet Elin - Frog on Flower from DTDF and I coloured her with these Copics -

Skin – E000, E00, E11, E13., R00, R02
Hair – E31, E35, E39, E50
The rest – B0000, B00, B05, B97, C00, C4, C7, C10, G99, R05, R14, R17, R59, Y00, Y02, Y08, YG00, YG03, YG95

I also added a sprinkling of Glamour Dust on her wings and some White Opal Liquid Pearls  to her skirt and around the image.

 

The papers are Fancy Pants Down By The Shore – love the colours.

I made the flowers using a medium Woodware punch and did a couple or 3 rolled roses and a fringed scruffy flower.

And check me out with me inked edges and all that lol.

 

A lovely bow made from 25mm Black/Cream Rustic Gingham Berisford No 10 ribbon and topped with a red spotty button – both from The Ribbon Girl

And for a change – well it really is this time cos I’ve not used it for ages – I added a strip of paper lace made with the fabby Tilda Lace Die.

 

I chopped up a bit of  die cut Memory Box Lavish Branch and added that, just because I cannot leave well alone!!!

The sentiment is from my fave LOTV Sentiments to Fit Scroll set.

 

So there we are all done.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a good one, whatever you’re doing,  and huggiest of hugs to all xxx
