House Mouse Monday... Challenge 47

Well here we are with another week already and it's my day off!!

Lots of tidying and cleaning to do though - de-furring the fur pit!!!

Had a go at my beloved Mousie Challenge first.. and this week it's White on White which means all white apart from the colour on your image.

I really do love white space on cards and have done many like this.

This card features the cute "Twinkle Toes" stamp - isn't it adorable!! Coloured with watercolours and stickles. Used my Bug for the embossing.

Oh well the marigolds are calling!!

Winter Wonderland - Week 8

Afternoon! I've had a really lazy day today and EEEK!! I'm still in my jammys!!! Haven't done that in ages so it's been great !!! LOL

Had some crafty time too until Peaches jumped up onto my desk and got glue on her paws, had to chase her and grab her for the glue clean - Mmm! she wasn't best pleased.... she loves to sit on the edge of my desk and watch my every move, sometimes she gets so close you can feel her whiskers!!!

Anyway enough already!!! on to my card for The Winter Wonderland Challenge which is "Santa's coming to town"

Something Completely Different - Week 10

Hope you have that Friday Feeling folks!!! The weekend is fast approaching... Yaaay!!

Papertake Weekly - Sketch No 19

Well I'm defo in Xmas card mode LOL!!

Had a wee peek at the Papertake Sketch and loved it... so here is my Xmas card made from bits and bobs of last years papers.... and kept it really simple!

ABC Challenge - My First Card!!

Good morning peeps!! and boy! is it mental weather, got rudely awakened by a loud bang followed by lots of other bangs which I swear shook my bed!! Bloomin' rolling thunder and torrential rain - I guess it has been a long time coming because it has been so heavy and humid.

So today is my first card for the ABC Challenge and this week we are on the letter "W" for WINDOW! So we want to see those curtains pulled back and all your shiny clean windows!!! LOL

I have used a cute little digital image which Janis sent me last week and she is coloured with Pro Markers (look at that wee cutie face!!), the window frame is from The Craft Barn and I have coloured parts of it with chalks. I then folded some check paper to make a curtainy!! kind of effect !! To finish I punched flowers, leaves and butterflies..

It would be great to see you join in so we can all come and inspect your windows!!!

2 for 1 and a Wee Sneaky Peek!!!

OOh there are so many good challenges on a Tuesday, it's so hard to choose which ones!!!

So I had a go at Passion for  Pro Markers challenge using Ruby Red and Gold and also used the sketch over at A Spoonful of Sugar... The ruby and red immediately conjured up Xmas so here it is!!!

...... and tomorrow is my first card for the new week's challenge over at ABC Challenge and here is a wee sneaky peek to whet your appetite!!! LOl

House Mouse Monday!!

Ooh it;s time for them Mousies again and this week NO COLOURING over at House Mouse Challenge - EEEk!!

No colouring the Mousies!! So I decided to paperpiece the mug instead... I kinda like it!!

Some DT News!!!

It's official I am now an ABC LAdy - I have joined the ABC Challenge Design Team - Thanks so much to the ladies for inviting me to be part of the team - I am looking forward to working with you all and having some laughs along the way...

This weather doesn't know whether its coming or going - so warm today but dull and grey.

So Mr Postie delivered this wonderful package from across the pond courtesy of the lovely Janis who I met just while blog hopping, I left a comment on her blog and she E-mailed me to say she was doing a surprise candy and she wanted to send me this wonderful jewellery holder and some cute images too.. Thanks so much Janis.... I Love them!

So hope you've all had a relaxing Sunday, My parents  came for lunch and it was yummy!!! Loads of washing up though then feet up and watched a bit of the Dog Whisperer - Love Him!!!

Had a wee scout around for some challenges, so decided to do the sketch over at Stamptacular Sunday

Something Completely Different - Week 9

Morning Folks and welcome to Week 9 of SCD - we  are still on Postcards (6" x 4") and our theme this week is VINTAGE - Oooh! I love a bit of vintage!!! LOL - It's great for using up your bits and bobs of lace and papers.

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week and I hope you can play along this time too.

We are sponsored this week by The Cutting Cafe and the winner will receive 3 sets of their choice, how great is that!! There is some wonderful stuff over there I can tell you!!

Passion for ProMarkers - Week 7

Well it's a total change of weather today - lovely and cool and some rain too!!

I've been scouring challenge land and settled on the Pro Marker one which has a great sketch and this week's colours are Cornflower Blue and Cocoa, I'm finding it quite hard though to colour with just two colours ... eek!!

The Craft Barn Blog and The Next Level

My first card is for The Next Level Challenge which is Buttons and Bows.

So on to my second card of the night - Wheee!! I'm on a roll.....!!!

When I got my kit from The Craft Barn  Blog this cutie little stamp was in it.

It's by Sandra Dry and it's called

"Friends come in all shapes and sizes"

I just love the wee snail..... the image is coloured with Pro Markers... and most of the die cuts are also from The Craft Barn.... if you haven't visited The Craft Barn, do hop over they have some amazing stash.... and all these stamps are exclusively available there too...

 

A couple of Photos!!

Afternoon folks! Whew it's a bit cooler today and the sun has disappeared for a bit.... relief from the penetrating heat!!

Anyway I took this photo last night as the moon was so gorgeous (although you can hardly see it in this rather "dodgy" photo!!! Peer closely and you might see a small orange orb in the sky!!!! LOL). It's taken from my living room window and looks out over the bay...

 

Oh and Pepsi says HI!!!!

Well I'd better feed the furries but will be back later with some cards - I Think!!!

Sketch Saturday meets Penny Black Challenge

Evening All!!!

So after a day of work, heat and stickiness and after a cool shower I decided to have a go at a couple of challenges - Penny Black Saturday and Sketch Saturday.

PBS has a theme of red, white and blue so I coloured the cute Puss with Pro Markers, added some paper flowers and the paper is just bits from my stash.

So off to put my sore feet up and relax for a bit ..

Happy Independence Day

Happy 4th of July to all our friends across the pond.....
