A feathery touch!

Morning Lovely bloggers,
Hope you have some of this lovely winter sunshine where you are. Its a beautiful morning here on the N/E coast, it certainly lifts your spirit and makes you think that Spring is around the corner.
 Well to business, here is a card I managed to make last night between chasing Alfie around the table on more than one occasion as he kept snatching everything I dropped and running with it...goading me to chase him, the little tinker!

 Entering it into City Crafter Challenge..Oh Feathers.
Its ages since I entered this challenge and I used to enjoy it so much.
The die cut feathers were a free gift on the "Simply cards and Papercraft Mag. The papers are LOTV Bonnets & Bowties.
Well I think thats it  apart from leaving you with a couple of pics of Alfie and his Gorgeous new blanket that Lee made him. He loves it!!! its so snuggly.

I guess its a Winner!!!  Alfie certainly thinks so....lol
Thank you so much Lee, You are so kind xxxxxxxxxx
Bye for now everyone xx

Bon Voyage!

Well long time no blogging, :o(  Hope everyone is well and managing to stay warm.
I have been busy busy doing a few house cleaning jobs and also trying to help my sister a bit as she got a cancellation to get her first Cataract removed last week. It was nice to have it sorted a bit earlier than planned, but they seemed to have had a little trouble doing it and she has one very black eye compared to what they expected!
       Anyway here I am and back to crafting :o)
I made this card for the ATCAS Challenge...World
I was a little stuck with this code word as I have no stamps suitable and no papers...hmm!!! I will have to sort that straight away! anyway this is what I came up with.......

 I inked a panel and cut the ship out and stuck it outside the box...added liquid pearls and diamond dust to create the wave and give it a clear water look.

I added a little map of Australia on a pad in the insert, but as the card will go into my stock I will change the map as needs be.

Well thats about it for now, off to do some shopping....the horrid kind..Food!
see you soon xxxxxxx

1st card of 2015

Hi lovely Peeps,
Hope you are all well as the new year begins, hugs and best wishes if you need them. xx
I managed to have a little play on Saturday when my daughter came to craft. Must admit neither of us had a very productive day! however I did have a play with my new Spellbinders that Santa brought me :o)

I am off to do a bit of spring cleaning...promised myself that I will totally bottom a room at a time and made a start yesterday with the bedroom.
Will catch up with you all later today xx

Entering into... Simon Says Stamp.....Something New

My Favourite five Cards

          Wishing Everyone a Happy Healthy Peaceful New Year

                                                Thank you all 
      for your Wonderful Support and Friendship over 2014


I am joining Debby's Favourite Five creations again, This year I didn't think I could pick 5 to be honest as I feel I have had a rubbish year with my cards. I think the year was packed with so many special occasions that my mojo really did leave on extended vacation. However looking back  I found it wasn't as bad as I first thought...lol
I settled on this 5.......
 

                                         Hearts of Gold

I loved the way this turned out as I was unsure if it would work as good as I had it in my mind. Of course it was for my hubby for our Golden Wedding Anniversary in Sept so it had to be in Favourite 5  :o)
                               
                                               A touch of Magic

Loved Colouring this chappie.

                                     A wedding card

                          

                       Enjoyed this from start to finish...
                                         love the Sentiment

                                             Sunny Faces 

 This card is so much nicer in real life, I was thrilled with the way the seeds turned out in the middle of these happy flowers, and the lovely sparkle on it.
                                     
                               Now the problem begins.........
                            Which of 4 do I choose.....lol ?????
                           
                                        Some Days!!!

I was torn between this one and the little boy which was two posts above this one...hope I made the right decision...ha-ha
Why is it I was unhappy with all my cardmaking this year ...yet I still  found it hard to choose only five..I actually like 8
So Fickle!!!!!
Huge Hugs Happy New year Everyone xxxxxxxx

Blowing Wishes your way....

Hi friends and followers,
Hope you all had the best Christmas possible depending on your situation. We had a lovely day and saw all the family at one point or another. Well we did miss one Grandson...Matthew was off- shore  sadly but he gets home today hopefully. It was a shame he was working for his first Christmas after getting married :o(
Well a quick post to join in the Simon says Stamp challenge
 I am missing my craft time but as I work in my lounge/diner everything has to be packed away  for holidays.
This is a card from my spare box :o) And as its DoCrafts Papermania Papers it fits the bill perfectly till next week when my craft table will be back in action ....Yippee!!!

This is a 7x7 card and the cutie blowing wishes to you is of course from Mo's digital
 Thats it for today, catch up soon xxxxxxx
