Playing around!

I feel like a stranger in in blog land at the moment and nearly forgot how to type up a post!! lol.

My crazy life here is only getting crazier. You think you have it all under control and then 'BAM'. Such is life ey?

I finally got copic to paper last week and had some 'chill' time to myself.

I'm head over heels in love with Krista's Saturated Canary digi's. They are too adorable. This little cutie is simply called 'Kite' and a dream to colour up.

I added some cream lace, vintage seam binding, flowers, glimmer mist, liquid pearls and ta dah!! A card completed that I'm actually happy with!

Let's see if I can get another card completed in the next couple of weeks. It looks like I might be buying my Christmas cards this year. Oooops! lol.

Hope you're all well and getting ready for the jolly man in red!

A little song for you (and eye candy!!)

It's time for a little change here for me.

I've stepped down from my DT commitments for a little while to get my personal life back on track and to spend time with my family.

I thought I'd share my favourite song with you so every time you hear it you might think of me! lol.

I love the song but I think it's the video clip that I can't get enough of! Adam and no shirt, Oh my giddy Aunt!! I've been a fan of Maroon 5 for so many years and have never seen him like this before. Why not??? lol.

Enjoy ladies ;)

I hope I've done this right and it works for you.

I'm also linking this to the blog called "Music Saves My Soul". (Marcea's crafting corner) I hope you like my choice.

Tickled Pink's 2nd Birthday!!

It's Tickled Pink's 2nd Birthday and it's time to celebrate with a Blog Hop!!

As you've already guessed, Kellie (owner of TPS) has prizes, prizes, prizes!!

Need to know more? Pop over to the Tickled Pink Stamps Blog and join in the fun.

If you have arrived here from the lovely Jeanette's blog then you are on the right track! If not, head back here to find the list.

I've created a card using my all time favourite image. The original and what I think is the best, Lil Lolita Lilith. Love this girl to death. Kellie can make her into any character and she just rocks it. I couldn't have her alone on my card so I thought I'd pair her up with the very handsome Lil Valentine Lad Luca.

I've made a tag card and followed the instructions from the delightful Jane again. They're sooooo easy.

I've made I suppose what you'd call a non-traditional christmas card. I'm not a huge red fan so I thought I'd make it a little different. I used some Webster's Pages and coloured my images to match those. And yes, there are a couple of buttons as well :)

This week Tickled Pink Stamps is proud to be sponsoring Crafting When We Can with their Christmas Comes Early challenge. Hence my christmas card! lol. There are Tickled Pink Stamps prizes up for grabs so we hope you pop on over and play along too.

Now, on with the hop. Jump on over to the amazing Maya's blog and see what delicious eye candy she has waiting for you. Don't forget to have fun!!

Another October Birthday in our house!

October is a huge month for us for birthdays!!

Just celebrated my own, my 5 yr old daughter, my Mum's and now it's my 'big' girls special day today!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKI"

Miki also shared her birthday with her Great Grandmother who is no longer with us.

No wonder I put all this weight on in October with ALL of these cakes!!

Tonight we celebrate with Mikaela's favourite cheese cake which will be our dessert after her favourite home cooked meal, Roast Pork Dinner! (with gravy of course!) lol.

Here's the card we gave to her this morning along with some money inside. I also have her favourite frozen berries (raspberries) waiting for her when she gets home from school :)

Miki doesn't like me putting pics up of her but I WILL!! Just don't tell her ok??

She is sooo going to hate me for this one. She likes photography but her main subject is her little sister Jorjia, so there weren't too many with just Miki on her own.

Don't I make the cutest kids?? lol. And, no...they're not fake eylashes but yes...they are loaded with mascara. She loves that stuff!! lol.

Anyway, that's all from me today. I hope you're all having a fantastic day!

Happy Birthday Sweet-heart!

Just quickly popping in to show you the card I made for my little girl's birthday.

"HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY JORJIA!"

We had a party for her on the weekend and she absolutely loved it.We hired a small jumping castle and her Dad made all the kids scream!

She chose a Freddo Frog Ice-cream cake so that made me happy! No cake decorating this year for me. Whoo hoo.

So here's the card I made for her using the sketch from the new challenge blog, Saturated Canary.

This reminds me of Jorjia so much. She has wild curly hair and I'm imagining to look like this as it keeps growing! lol.

So of course I've entered this into Saturated Canary's challenge this week.

Here's a little pic of Jorjia, blowing out her candle.

Can't believe she's heading off to Primary School next year.

Thanks for taking the time and stopping by today.

Challenge time!

Welcome to another challenge over at Pollycraft. This week the lovely Arabella chose the theme as...

"Tags & Bookmarks"

I've made a little bookmark using the sweet Sonny Honeycloud - 'Poetry'.

These are so quick and simple to make up and you can use your stash of scraps to make them. (I did!) These were papers I used on a previous project and they were still on my desk. (yes I'm a messy cardmaker!)

I added some MS butterflies (inked and pearled), some vintage seam binding and my favourite, a button!! I also added a little glossy accents to her glasses.

I hope you can join in with this challenge at Pollycraft. The possibilities are endless and I can't wait to see what you create!
