Pink & Lime :)

Hi there sweet peeps and hope you are all OK today.

It’s  blowing  a gale here and the rain has been quite bad. So I do hope it’s better where you are :(    We have our Easter Egg hunt here on Sunday and I am praying it won’t rain!!!

Fingers crossed!!

So today we are heading off over to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge and we have a fab theme for you. This week we want you to

USE your FAVOURITE TOOL

and as always there is a …….

… which our lucky winner will get to spend ….

… right here )

So this is what I did and my fave tool has to be my good old …..

… Grand Calibur

I use this practically on every card I do and I would be lost without it.

So my card features good old Tilda and I coloured her with these Copics -

Skin – E000, E00, E11, E21, R00, R20

Hair – E35, E41, E43, E50, E81

The rest – E50, E81, G99, RV0000, RV00, RV29, Y11, Y15, Y17. Y38YG0000, YG00, YG03,

I mixed the papers today and they are from these paper packs -

     

If you do the clicky piccie thing it will take you straight to the shop :)

I got the old sewing machine out – not done that for a while!! 

I also used one of the Memory Box dies over a mat made with a  Martha Stewart PATP punch :)

I also brought out the Magnolia leaf and swirl die which is probably in my top ten fave tools to be fair.

I also used one of the gorgeous Peony Petals dies and topped it with a Magnolia Doily Flower and a rolled rose. Instead of using a leaf die, I had a scrap of old ribbon in my stash so I used that to make the leaf instead!!!

It looks quite snazzy I think :)

So there you go chicks.

I am on a real flyer today cos I have so many things to do that I don’t even want to think about it so please excuse the mad dash here. I’ll say toodle pip and see you all soon.

Huggiest of hugs to all xxx

Lilac, Lavender & A Little Cutie Too (Plus This Week’s BFTP)

    

Morning lovely peeps and we have another gorgeous day here in the UK today.

We have sun but no fuel it would seem as we have all been panic buying, but it’s hard not to when you think you will run out.

Anyway it’s time to nip over to see what’s happening at the Lili’s Little Fairies Challenge and this week our theme is

Anything Goes

so  time to fill your creative boots so to speak!!

We are sponsored this week by Nitwits

So ….

… this is what I did.

I went away from my usual colours and used lilacs and lavenders. I also used another of the brand new release which of course is now on sale and today I used Patchwork Bunch Of Balloons.

I coloured him with these Copics -

Bear – E25, E29, E33, E35, E50, E51, E99

Balloons – V000, V06, V09, V12, V15, V17, V91, V95

and I also used some polychromos pencils as well.

The papers are from the new FQB Gratitude collection from Nitwits

You can just about see this but I made a double bow using some mauve vintage seam binding and some 25mm white plain sheer ribbon and both are from The Ribbon Girl :)

I made a flower using the Peony Petals die set from Simon Says Stamp. I inked the edges and added some glitter then topped them off with a small punched circle which I’d covered with some seed beads I happened to have on my desk.

The inside was decorated to go with the front of the card and I will be adding this card to my ebay site shortly

So that’s the card done and now its time for my blast from the past.

I thought that  seeing as the sun was out, I’d choose a sunny, happy, feel good sort of vid and this one always made me smile. My kid used to love it when they were young as well  because they liked the fact the the little girl gets the old man a drink!!! Aww, what nice caring little dinks I had lol!!!

Personally I liked it cos I liked Michael Stipe, although I now know I was barking completely up the wrong tree there (not that I was ever likely to run off with him of course lol).

Anyway enjoy the vid - I hope it makes you smile -  and see you tomoz.

Have a wonderful  day and huggiest of sunny hugs to all xxx

Marshmallow :)

Morning peeps and hope you are all OK today :)

It’s time to nip across the water and catch up with the Simon Says Stamp Challenge and today it’s time for a game of

Bingo :)

And here’s the card …….

As usual, Heidi is giving away a humungous …..

which our winner will get to spend  …

… right here in the store.

This week the Design Team are showcasing Magnolia products so if you have any, why not get them all out and join in the fun. You don’t have to use them of course and  you can still enter this challenge and use other stuff if you want :)

So….

… here’s my card.

It reminds me of  marshmallows – don’t you just love the smell of them? The taste isn't bad either lol  :)

I coloured sweet Tilda & her Bunny with these Copics -

Skin – E000, E00, E11, E21, R00, R20

Hair – E42, E43, E50, E81

The rest – E43, E50, E81, RV0000, RV000, RV00, RV10

This is the first time out for my Peony Petals die and I did the rolled flower thing and popped it on the top.

I really like this die, as I do all of the Magnolia dies – you probably noticed!!!! . They are just about as good as you can get I think and you are guaranteed a nice clean cut every time. Mine get some hammer, they truly do,  and not just on here but also for my classes and workshops and they are still as good as the day I got them.

So here’s the stuff I used and if you do the clickie piccie thing, it will take you to the right place in the store.

                 

                    

So that’s the card done and if you get a sec, nip over and check out the challenge sweet peeps.

Not long now till the NEC and I am so looking forward to going. Not for the shopping although I’m sure I will be doing a bit of that no doubt, but I just love to catch up with everyone. I am really looking forward to meeting Mary & Andrea and of course my cyber twin Mrs Kath and all the other lovely girlies too.

Wetherspoons, you have been warned!!!!!

My Nikkie is coming with me and we are hitting the bead stands as well as the cardy stuff as I need to get some more beadage and bits and bobs. I keep thinking that I might start putting my jewellery pics on here as well, or maybe start up a separate blog just for that side of it. Maybe one day when I have a bit more time. Now if only they sold that at the NEC!! Mind you if they did,  I would be bankrupt for sure!!!!!

So on that note I’ll be off and go and get some work done. Have the best day and see you back here tomorrow.

Huggiest of hugs to all xxxx
