Something abit different...

Hi everyone, sorry been MIA but lots going on in our lives at present, one of the nice things is we have bought a small caravan. we have spent all this week getting it kitted out ready for some lovely trips away. 
In between life's busy days I got a little craft time and decided to make up a AnnaMarie picture frame that I bought a while ago.

 Was nice to do something different :o)

 Hope you like! Have a great weekend xxxx
I have my daughter here to craft so its a good day :o)

Girls will be girls!

Hi Sweet Bloggers, 
Thursday again and we are all set for a brand new challenge over at Mo's digital ...Its a Girls World. The theme was chosen by me, so hope you like it!
I know you will come up with some Amazing creations as always. Anything that you think a girl loves is all I ask ...Chocolate, sunbathing, clothes, chatting, friends..the list is endless...
....Just pop by Mo's store and the images will fill you with inspiration...along with the Fabulous DT creations of course. I chose Big Shoes...ha-ha I wonder why my daughter would ask!!! I love shoes ..its sort of an addiction..a bit like buying stash!

I used a 7x7 card base and LOTV papers coloured the image with promarkers and Polychromers.
Hope you like! please pop over to see what my fabulous Sistah's have created and leave some love as Pat would say :o)
hugs for now xxxxxx

Friends...

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are having a lovely sunny day, Its glorious here and not really a day to be crafting! Hubby is not well and having a nap so I thought I would get my entry into Simon says Stamp...friends challenge
I have wanted to use these stamps from Art Impressions for ages so here was my chance, I decided to use "In the tub" I bought them at the Harrowgate show in March...are you guessing I spent too much money at this show....lol  

its an 8X8 card I am not sure I like this size to be honest! I don't mind the 7x7 but these I'm not sure. Sorry I didn't realise my picture was a little wonky :o#  on the subject of pictures......
I need your clever ideas on how I can crop around the card after I take the picture. Has to be easy though!!!!   lol the program I use won't enable me to do it close enough.
Catch up later, xxxxx 
A huge welcome to new follower.. Chrissy and welcome back to Annie on her new blog xxxxxxxx

Stencil with Sparkle...again

Good Morning all, 
I have been playing with those stencils again :o)) 
I decided to twiddle with another one that I bought at Harrowgate show and this was the result.
I have to admit I was quite pleased...and that takes some doing lately! I certainly need to keep digging mojo out from his hiding  hole.

 The colours were so bright and sparkley, I love a bit of Bling!!!!   lol   sadly the backing card has come out red on the photo ...  its nothing like red in real life...its the same colour as the Hibiscus flower, so need your imagination here. I may try and take another photo and see how it turns out.
I will enter it into Simon Says Stamp  ...Stencil It challenge.

A Bit of Sparkle!

Hi everyone, 
Now don't go into shock at me posting twice in a day....lol
I thought I would show you a card I made using a Stencil I bought at Harrowgate Show in March. I actually bought about 7 to be exact :o) Anyway this is one of them. I stenciled it straight onto LOTV Paper  from the Antebellum pad. I am not sure what I feel about it really...the card! not the paper. I think its because it is so different for me, but hubby and daughter loved it...hmmm!!! not convinced myself.  The size for a start 8x8  seems wrong but it needed it for the stencil.
I will leave it for you to decide.

I am entering it into ..
Simon Says Stamp...Stencil it

Summer has arrived!

Hi sweet Peeps, 
Well I hope your summer has arrived :o) we have had a lovely week here on the N/E coast, Almost 3 days of wall to wall sunshine...now that counts as our Summer....lol  but long may it continue.
Well Over at Mo's digital ..Summer Flowers is the order of the day. Our Challenge this time was chosen by our Sweet Nela . Don't forget to pop over to see what the team have created ..and leave a little love as Pat would say xxxx

Our challenge is for you to show us your pretty Summer Flower creations, I feel excited already :o) I am always amazed at what you come up with, and with nature playing host to inspire us! what could be a better theme.

 Just don't forget to use a Mo image..and watermark your work...the thieves are about again...sadly stealing your work and claiming it as their own.
sorry mine has 2 watermarks on...tried to remove the first one...don't know how!

A bit of CAS

Hi sweet bloggers, just thought I would pop along with a card I made for a couple of challenges It has been weeks since I managed to enter these challenges, I have so missed them :o(
Well I am slowly catching up with my commenting, just a few more to visit that are "way outstanding"...so sorry folks, will be around later today.
 Yesterday my daughter came to craft so we totally banned the Puter and got our heads down and we had a good day of craft and chat .....so good!!! and hubby kept us topped up with coffee between his gardening and odd jobs....he's a winner. Here is one of the cards I made to enter my  neglected challenges Addicted to CAS..Texture
and    .........          Simon says Stamp...Anything Goes
I decided to use a stencil and used Gold paste and Green paste for the stems ...adding some tiny pearls for the seed head. Hope you like :o) 

 

and the inside............CAS too

 So glad I have managed to enter the challenges as its been a few weeks since i had time...or mojo :o(
Thankfully I think I am getting back in the swing of things...Life got totally in the way of things and mojo got sick and left.
