Easter over at MAWTT

Well here we are with another brand new Challenge over at "Moving along with the times.. Easter Wishes Challenge which is being hosted by Lisa xxx  Don't the weeks fly by, it seems like yesterday I was posting my DT card for last weeks challenge. We had lots of amazing creations though, and I look forward to seeing what you can show us this week. I hope you will pop over and see what the lovely DT have come up with and leave them some love. This is my card for this week, we worked with little cuties from Digi My world   the image I have used is  called Cindy-ears,

 I teamed her up with pretty spring coloured papers from the First edition HideAway Pad. I made the rosette and added a Sun charm, and the  Butterfly brad was from my stash.

 well thats it for the time being..off to the dc's to have bloods taken now, so sees ya later xxxxxxxx

Flowers for you and Me x

Morning everyone,
 Hope you are having a good day so far, no sun here today and quite overcast so hope its better where you are.
Had a lovely visit from my youngest daughter yesterday afternoon...and I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers...and more important a good natter over numerous cups of tea and coffee. She really is difficult to catch hold of ... a very busy busy girl to say the least..its like trying to catch the wind.....lol
Well enough chatter and onto my card which today is going into Mo's Digital pencil Buttons & Bows Challenge 

I thought I would make an easel card for a change. I have to be honest I am never sure if I like them!! I used to make a lot but got a bit tired of them and thought a rest would revive them ....but not sure it has really! I do however love Mo's image..."Kisses"

 Well I will catch up on your blogs a bit later today as off to get some jobs and shopping done.

Hugs for now xxxx

Had a Fab day :)

Happy Mothers Day xx

to all the mums out there in Blogland, Hope you have this gorgeous sunshine where you are. I will be going off to the nuseries again after lunch ...just in time for Afternoon cream tea....yummy!! but first I will just give you a tiny peek at my goodies that I bought at Harrowgate yesterday.  I have to admit Hubby bought me my Grand Calibur and large Nesties..........but I bought the rest...lol well almost :O he did throw in another £20 as we were leaving :) well there is always that extra thing as you are going through the door isn't there!!!! I think we did very well coming home only £248 lighter....after all a girl has to have her stash doesn't she!

I can't believe how little we seem to get for so much money, its quite mind blowing, but i will enjoy trying out some new ideas, not sure I will succeed but will try them anyway xxxxx

 Have a Lovely day whatever you are up to, I will catch up later xxxxxxx

Hugs  xx

Tenna Ladies at the ready....

Morning everyone, Well sorry I didn't get back with a card last night, but did manage a little blog hopping. You never seem to get round as many as you planned though do you! Will do some more when we get back from Dentist at 2-30..I have had the usual old joke from Den about tooth-urty, corny or what.
 Well now to something to really make you laugh..Tenna's at the ready :) We went into Boots Chemist yesterday to get some photo's printed off, the machine asked us for a phone No. (never remember it) so Den dug into his pocket for his Mobile.............at this point I will tell you we had 2 more couples waiting behind us and a young man on the till on our left as well as the shop being quite busy. Den proceeded to pull out his mobile phone only to produce the remote control for the lights at home.....rofl   We could not control ourselves, we just fell about in the shop laughing. The sales lad asked if we had a problem and we said we are trying to find our phone no. but something is wrong with the phone,We had gathered attention by this time with our laughing, So when Den held up the remote  everyone fell apart. The shop came to standstill with laughter. I really must buy myself some Tenna :O
 Anyone want a hubby ....he is going cheap.
 Hugs for now xx

We went over to the nurseries and bought lots of Dinner for the Slugs :O    then came home and planted them in the borders and baskets etc. so we are looking very pretty ....just hope the frosty nights are over now!!
 Catch up with you soon. Hugs xxx
 Hugs xxxx  

Button noses...

Afternoon  Lovely Bloggers, Hope everyone is well and keeping warm...brrrr!!!

Its so cold and windy here I decided that a crafty morning was in order  :)) We got our new bedroom window in yesterday at long last!!!! It looks great and so now to get a new blind up and we are done and dusted. This bedroom has taken forever, and its not much bigger than an over sized cupboard :0   I am glad I haven't a bigger one mind you, its cost an arm and a leg for this pigeon hole. Saying all that is gorgeous and a real little sanctuary with its gorgeous new sliding robes and duck-egg accessories.
 Enough waffle on to my card,
 this is for MAWTT Cute as a Button Challenge hosted by the lovely Laurie. What a fab challenge choice I have really enjoyed making my card today :)) I'm also entering it in Mo's Digital, try something new
As my punch is new and had its first outing. 
Also entering into Diva's by Design Favourite things
which is Dies, Buttons and Mo's Images.

  Sorry the pics are not wonderful, I think I am going to have to buy a better camera as I never seem to have nice pics like I see on other blogs :(   Any ideas on what is a best buy???? Mine is a Fuji finepix, my hubby has a big Fuji camera but I find it too complicated. Anyway back to my card.. I decided not to use any papers....yikes!!!!! and use my new  Xcut running stitch punch, I think its rather good don't you. The image is Mo Manning and can be found here its called "Love Ya" isn't she so cute with her little button nose. I coloured her with promarkers and used  cardstock rather than DP.  The buttons and ribbon where from my stash.
 Well I think that's it and its time for coffee and and I will be back later tonight to blog hop xxxxx

 See's ya later xxxxxx 

Blue is the colour...

 Morning Lovely Bloggers, Hope everyone is well and keeping warm. It is freezing here on the N/E Coast again, just when I thought Spring was a springing...huh!!
We were hoping our new Bedroom window was being fitted today, but it would appear they have got held up on the last job and it will now be tomorrow  :(
It looks like I will get a crafty day today and tomorrow...lol well I have to keep out of their way don't I!!!
Well to my card today and its Blue yet again..two in a row, but I love these lovely papers from Papermania Capsule Collection by Jesse Edwards. I am going to enter this into MAWTT Challenge which is a Sketch this week. I decided I would really challenge myself and make a boys card...yikes!!

This rosette centre is actually Navy blue  but it keeps coming out black on the pics so I have given up.

I have just seen the most hilarious thing through the window.....rofl  a man is stood in the wheelie bin jumping up and down to squash it down....ha-ha.......well it was funny till I realised it was hubby :O 

off to sort him out....... #~##*~ he'll have angina before the nights out...men!!!!!

 I will be along later to see your creations and read your news, I am off to do some I...ing for an hour, at least it will warm me up.

 Hugs  xxx

My First ..but not my last :))

 Hi everybody peeps, Hope you are all getting your share of this gorgeous Sunshine, Is spring here do you think...I hope so!
Well this really is a very short post as hubby is waiting to take me shopping :))  I look so pleased because we are going to be right next door to The Range.

 Well what you may be asking is the first ..but not the last???? I have just made this card for Divas by Design challenge Spots and Stripes, and coloured my first ever Saturated Canary image. Not got her perfect but I love the image,  as I only bought two of them I think I need to go shopping again :) Well here it is and I hope to catch up with you all later tonight

oops just realised I haven't took pics of the inside and you know I always do the inside :(( will try and get pics later light permitting and add them tonight xxx Bye for now...be good xxxxxxx
 Hugs Mau xx

2 in one day.......never!!!!

I really can't believe I am posting twice in one day, it must be the antibiotics taking effect....lol   I have to admit to having had this card almost complete for a week or two now. 

Today with a few finishing touches and additions  its going into Mo's Digital challenge "Anything Goes" I am not sure I like any part of it apart from the adorable image, is she sweet or what! hadn't a clue what to do with all the pages so they are a bit of all sorts

Well that's it for today I am off to try and do something I actually like this time...hmmmm!!! nosey around blogland :) and look for some inspiration.  See ya later xxx

Pretty in Sugar Pink...

Hi Everybody peeps, Hope you are having a good day xx The weather is a little cooler today but as I am on Antibiotics..(always knock me sideways) It is a good day to get back into the swing and have a crafty day :)) Before I get to my card I want to say Thank You to all my New Followers, I love having you on board and hope you will leave me a comment so that I can visit you in return. Thank you so much xxxxxx

Now to my card, It went together quite easy being a lovely clean sketch from Maria Therese The Sugar Bowl 78 Challenge. I decided to use this sweet image from SN who is named "Flora" isn't she lovely with her long hair and pretty face.I used to have Blonde hair like Flora but the flour bag fell out the cupboard one day :( its never been the same since!.. I am also enteriing this into... 
Passion for Promarkers 138 Pastels
So Pastel colours it has to be, nothing bright and bold allowed. Which is ok for me as bright colours terrify me....lol

A quick peek at the insert although I didn't do alot with it as I am struggling to get my mojo back. I will however be back later to add another card as I am determined to craft till I am back into my stride again....lol  so watch this spac. I will be visiting your space to see what happening and catch up on news later today. xxxx Bye
