ATS Pixie Preview...

I have a little trio of tags to share today - made to introduce this gorgeous new trio of Pixies...


This is Abigail, Brigitta & Lula - I know I say it all the time, but I really do love swiss Pixies!
There's also {as always!} a fantastic AmyR sentiment in the release which is just perfect to use with them.


I even stitched them up a little vellum envelope - cos I love 'em so... ;)


Don't forget to head on over to the ATS blog for your chance to win the August releases.

Fly...

Another quick page...


...but there's so much that's bugging me about it I'll probably have to have a little fiddle with it!

Vroom...

I couldn't resist whipping up this quick little card when I saw the theme over at Lili of the Valley this week - my kids have always loved playing with boxes, so this stamp has a special place in my heart!


Challenges: Lili of the Valley Fun & Games


Papers can be found here at Dies to Die For, Promarkers here.

Oh boy...


I've felt the need just lately to scrap.
Nothing flash, fancy or even particularly good - just quick pages for me to enjoy.
I'm just all too aware right now of these two little boys of mine becoming well... not quite so little anymore...


I really want to make a comment re. the spelling of aeroplane, but I don't wanna upset anyone. Plus even Safari just spellchecked me and said I was wrong. Oh the irony that is American-English...}

I want to remember the stupid things they said, the silly faces they pulled, the crazy thoughts that raced around their heads and made them so utterly them - the things that right now I'm sometimes guilty of taking for granted.

If only they stayed little forever...

Ahoy...

I have two things to share today - not something that happens often just lately!
This little fella though, is so stinkin' cute, I couldn't resist inking him up twice...

...and then a gift tag - isn't he sweet?!


Challenges: A Spoon Full of Sugar "Tags"
Papertake Weekly "Getting Cute"

Nothing like a pretty little Gorjuss girl to cheer up a grey Monday morning is there?!
Mix it with some of my favourite MME and I'm in Heaven :)

Challenges: The Ribbon Girl's Aqua colour challenge
I {heart} Promarkers Recipe


A little bit of sticking on the inside and a pot full of markers...
...happy sighs...


Enjoy your day!

Mistletoe Mice...

Have you seen the latest Stampavie release yet?
They're so cute they've got me making Christmas cards already.
Yes - me making Christmas cards. In July...

If you haven't seen them already, take a peek here - they're due to appear in stores sometime in in August {which is only next month - not too long to wait!}. This adorable little pair is Mice under the Mistletoe and I'm rather in love with the pair of them!




Thanks for visiting - I'll be back soon with more Stampavie yumminess :)

Monday, Monday...

I found a boxfull of long-forgotten about Elzybells stamps yesterday while rummaging through a drawer - how brilliant is that?!
I couldn't resist inking up this little cutie for the current Sweet Stampin' challenge...



Enjoy your Monday!

Show me Sunday...

The very talented Caz has a little thing going on over on her blog called Show me Sunday - this week she wants to see our crafting spaces...


Here's just a little bit of my desk - I would show you the whole room, but then you'd know what a mess it is. By just showing you this tiny little bit you can use your imaginations to picture how very, very tidy the rest of it is...


And yes, someone has been making paper aeroplanes out of Websters' Pages.
Thanks for visiting!

Sometimes Blogger, you make me want to cry...

...y'know, like right now when you tell me that trying to write up a blog post is a bad request. Really? Blogging on a blog is bad? That's almost as funny as when your mate Google tells me something went wrong and that's all they know...

Anyways, I have more Sarah Kay prettiness to share - this little lady has long been a favourite of mine...


Oooops, that's some seriously wonky brad action - just pretend you don't see it, 'k?



Thanks for visiting and my hugest apologies for appearing to not visit you back - I come over, I comment, Blogger has a hissy fit and stops my comments from actually posting. I hear Wordpress and Typepad are really nice though - I'm thinking 'bout making one of them my new BFF...

Laters!

Tuesday 5 July 2011

I have a simple little Sarah Kay card to share today - this is Fleur gathering flowers with Manon from Stampavies' Winter CHA release...
I was in such a happy sunshiny mood while whipping up this card - then looked out of the window and was bombarded with grey skies and a whole lot of rain!




Thanks for lookin'!

Oh happy day...


I have a quick little Stampavie card to share today using the fantastically named "Oh happy day" from the Laurence Design collection...




Thanks for lookin' :)

Jumped up kicks...

Meh, it's once again been a long ol' time since I blogged - Blogger deciding to be annoyingly finicky combined with oodles of sunshine, have led me to be more than a little neglectful!

But, I couldn't resist joining in with this weeks MSMS...



So yeah, it doesn't have the happiest of lyrics {ahem}, but it sounds like it should do, if you know what I mean!
And the Horrors have been singing it at the tops of their voices all day - so I couldn't really pick anything else :)


Happy Saturday,
