Here I am again..

I thought I had better post my card before it gets any later, Got the Monday shopping out of the way, and had quick coffeee with daughter. I have no idea what we are going to do without her when she goes to USA for 5 weeks :( we normally see her at least every other day so it will seem a lifetime without her. Our younger daughter will have to find more time for coffee than usual....lol

Well here is my Card, Spotty paper from Papermania "Summer Bloom"

Check paper from back to Basics, matted on Doily, I coloured Image with Promarkers, and added My favourite flowers from Wild Orchid which I added pearls to. I loved making this card as I adore all three of these Blogs, They are after all at the top of my list for favourite stash...Promarkers, Magnolia and Wild Orchid flowers. I am rather addicted to all three...lol

I am entering the card into....

Passion for promarkers... Sugar Rush

Just Magnolia ........ Anything goes

Wild Orchid .......... Anything goes

Sunshine again!!

Well another Lovely sunny bright day, its very cold today though, much colder than yesterday!

We had a Super day yesterday and walked round the coast, to Saltburn...used to be a small smugglers cove, quite a busy little place these days, all in all did about 6miles. It was beautiful and we stopped and had a little picnic when we got there ...Coffee and Bacon Sarnies and watched the surfers. A Good day had by both. The first pic is about half way as we reach Marske.. it's Cliffe House now Trust appartments

Cliffe House Marske

Catching Tonights tea.... we hope

SaltburnSaltburn Pier and Surf HireThis last one was taken from half way up the cliff steps heading into the square, we decided on bus home as one way is enough at present, and it had got quite cold by this time.

Thanks for making the trip with me. I will be back later with a Card :)

Todays Recipe....lol

Well thought I was clean out of time this week, but when you want to do something badly enough you nearly always manage to squeeze it in don't you..... especially if its Crafting...lol
I have got to the last few hours ...again for Less is More Recipe Challenge.. BUT.. I am here, I really did want to join the challenge so here it is. Not Sure I am happy with wording..Not a lover of Shortened words but struggled to find what I wanted.
I am also entering this into Stampin Sisters in Christ The Scripture is based on Psalm 9v10 and Rebekka talks about God being our every need... We can trust him in all things. I thought of him being our Creator and Maker, and thought my Baby card was very fitting...... We had to include at least 3 buttons.
Hope everyone is having a good day, Hugs to anyone that needs them.
Catch you soon

Tilda Goes Fruity

Just a quick post today as I am off to the shops shortly...how boring is that!

I wanted to post my card for Totally Tilda Challenge this week its Fruity Tilda and had to have at least one peice of fruit on.... "Anyone for a Cherry"...lol

The second Challenge I am entering it into is Colour Create 3 Fruit colours from the picture shown,,, I chose Coconut, Kiwi, and Cherry....also Apple as a bonus.. dressed Tilda in green ..lol

I thought the Green dotty paper almost looked like Kiwi with its seeds.

I am not sure if my Cherry blossom was a good choice but...I had to add flowers or I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight :)

I am also entering into Papertake weekly Challenge which is anything goes with an added something old. This is my Red Braid as it came off a Gift Box about 2yrs ago..lol xx

Catch up later with Blogs, Take Care Everyone xx

Rain, Rain Go Away!!

Hi Bloggers, Well hope its better where you are...its pouring with rain here and I can't think of anything to do to past the time away.... have you any ideas :) now don't all shout at once ha-ha
I think I need to go Blog hopping and see all your wonderful creations, then.... well I suppose I might have to spend the day crafting...its a hard life :)
This is my entry for LOTV Challenge Circles was the theme, I adore this stamp and she fits so well on a round nestie. I coloured her with Promarkers ans added a little Sakura gell pen to her wings and dress. I added a large lace butterfly which I noticed had large circles in its wings.




My flower was from Dovecraft "Tea House" and Ribbons from stash. The Sentiment was a circle but didn't fit my nestie so I printed the words off individually.
Well must go and see what you are up to so will catch you all later. Have a good day whatever you are doing. Hugs Mau xx

Garden flowers

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am one happy bunny today as my daughter has arrived to craft for the full day. We usually craft on a Saturday but she is going out tomorrow night so we swopped days :)
Before I get down to crafting here is my card which I am entering into a couple of challenges.

Totally Tilda How does your garden grow, I chose bright summer flowery papers and added Flowers from Wild Orchid which brings me to my second Challenge.

Wild Orchid Challenge is a Sketch which I used for this card. Thanks for stopping by xx

Hope everyone has a good day and hopefully I will get to call at your Blogs later today.

Hugs Mau xx

Less is More

Well this is quite a challenge for me, again my brain had to go into overdrive...lol

My Entry for the Less is More Spring Challenge

I Love CAS cards but never sure if I succeed very well when making them. I want good honest comments please as I would love to be able to join in this blog challenge every week. So need to gather all the advice I can from you clever people xx

I didn't have a Stamp that was very fitting for spring and as I was desperate to take part I had to think of other ways to sneak in...lol Hope a stamp is optional :) I guess I need to look for a whole lot of different stamps to the hundreds I have... Isn't it amazing how you never have what you need!

I used my Cuddly Bug...love it

and printed sentiment out on PC Stamped a flower in Spring as It looked like a "BIG I" : )

Think I should have put some thread through my buttons, :(

Well here it is and I would be grateful for comments...good or bad... I can take it...lol

I haven't made a card without a stamped image on it for almost three yrs. so this felt very strange. xx Bye for now, I am off to see what you have all been doing.

Hugs Mau xx
