Dear Blog...

...I'm sorry I've neglected you...what can I say other than I'm crap {and let's be honest, you kinda knew that already}?
I promise I'll try my very hardest to be more attentive to you from now on...well, provided Jacob Black doesn't come howling along distracting me...

..............................................................


So anyways, I have a little something to share with you all today...being as it is a *ahem* "special" day for me and all that...

A li'l bit of sweet schtuff for the Anyone for Anya "Anything Goes" challenge :D

Love these Sweet Toooth Critter's from TGF {and eeeeeek!!! DTDF has them in the sale - whoooo-hoooo!}

I'll catch y'all laters - I'm off to eat cake ;D

Hugs,

Hey Bunny...

A quick little card for the Allsorts "Animal" challenge...

A cutie-tootie CC Designs bunny and some oh-so-yummy OA "Fly a Kite" papers

I really came along to tell you about all the fabby Bank Holiday offers that are going on this weekend - Dies to Die For has some fantastic weekend offers here
There's a PROMarker section, TGF section and an MS punch section - pretty damn brilliant, methinks...

Have a great weekend!
Hugs,

Dino-riffic...

Hey all,
A really, truly, super-speedy post today - I can hear the beach calling ;D

I have a simple little card today, made at the li'l Horror's request - he's obviously inherited my somewhat...errrrr, simplistic preference to crafting!

The latest ATS challenge is "Sewing", so I'll enter this cutie-tootie :D

Have a fabbitastic day - off to dig out my shorts!
Hugs,

I used to rule the world...***

Heya peeps, another happy, shiny day over here - yay!

I have a li'l make today for the Spoon Full of Sugar "Birthday" challenge and the Crafty Catz "Stitching" challenge.

As soon as I saw this adorable little Gillian Roberts image from Stampavie I just knew I had to make a little slice of cake to go along with ti!

Have a coolio day :D
Hugs,

***For reasons I have no explanation for, I have spent the entire morning singing Coldplay's Viva La Vida...very loudly...strange 'cos as far as I'm aware I still rule the world...

Blah, blah, blah {aka - I can't think of a good post title...}

Mornin' all!
Dontcha just love waking up to oodles of sunshine - it makes the world look so much happier.
*happy sigh*

Anyways, here's a little card I whipped up for Magnolia Down Under's "Masking" and Papertake's "Cutie Pie" challenges...

It's a kinda a matchbook card, but upside down...nah, I'm not sure why - I just felt like making something a teeny bit different! I was obviously having a "moment" while making it - it has pearls and sparkles and freaky-weird flowers...

Off to do some colouring - thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,

Daydreams..

A super-speedy card accompanied by a super-speedy post today - well, the sun's still shining and the beach has miraculously emptied...what's a girl to do? ;D

Hmmmmmm, not too sure what happened with Tilda's scarily coloured face {seriously, what's going on with that? Some kinda nasty skin condition maybe?}, but other than that I think I like it...I dug out my fave EK Success border punch, so it ties it rather nicely with this weeks Just Magnolia challenge {no scary faced Tilda's over there, they can obviously all colour in properly}.

Thanks for coming along to visit :D
Catch ya laters!
Hugs,

Why didn't anyone remind me that I just can't do the distressed thang?

I have a challenge tripler today - Magnolia Down Under have a "Thank You" theme, the Creative Card Crew wanna see "Vintage/Aged" {shoulda just blogged a pic of my face...} and Simon Says "It's so Distressing" - here's my offering...

This li'l cutie and the prettied-up candle's are a little thank you gift to a sweet friend :D

Another quickie post, sorry - we're about to be invaded by 4 extra kids {nieces n' nephews}, I'll catch y'all soon {provided I survive of course...}

Hugs,

T'is Monday again!!!

So it's my last ATS day :(

A big thank you to Amy and Christine for giving me the honour of playing with the stamps - you know I've loved it!

Hugs,

Whooooo-hoooooo!!!!!

It's release day over at All That Scraps :)

Now usually by this point every month, I'm wetting my pants with excitement and trying to tell myself that I don't need to buy all the stamps as digi's while waiting for the rubbah to arrive...yeah, I do actually do that.

As I have shouted out already though, my inky mitts have already got to the stamps, so I want all of you to go get excited on my behalf :)

Oh and if you have more patience than me and can wait a li'l while - Tracy'll have the new releases in stock asap - yay!!!!


Hugs,

Kiki love...

A super quick "I don't really have any time, but how could I ignore this li'l darling?" post...






Isn't she gorgeous? She'll be in stock here asap :)

Hugs,

Tealy Good...

...We have a colour combo over at CCT this week: Teal & red...

Sssssssshhhhh...it's more October Afternoon...


Only a quick post from me - I'm off to the beach!

Hugs,

Baby it's cold outside...

...why am I making Christmas schtuff already? We all know that come December I'll have forgotten where I put it...

But there was actually a purpose to this li'l bag - you may have noticed I have a little, tiny obsession with October Afternoon...I buy the paper collections, use 'em til they run out {then buy more...}, but never, ever use the die-cut sheets. Why? They're lovely! I know they're lovely because I have a huge un-used pile of 'em...

So I thought I'd use some to make a li'l Chrimbo bag. I chopped a paper bag in half and set about decorating, kinda using the sketch over at the Secret Crafter challenge .

Then I realised I could tie it in with this week's Tilda & Friends challenge where we're magically turning our ATC's into sumfin else...go have a peeky here :) Mine became a li'l gift tag y'see...

I'll be back soonest with another card - I'm sure I scheduled it, but it seems I didn't. Must be the blondness...

Hugs,

I've spent the whole freakin' day singing the Fraggle Rock theme tune...why people, WHY??????

Life is just a bowl of cherries...

We're getting a li'l fruity over at CCT this week...



Head on over here to see the fabbiness from the rather excellent DT & for a chance to win a rather gorge prize from this weeks sponsor Digital Delights :)


Hugs,

Nuts about you...

The Roses on Paper challenge for this week is "A Little Love" - they wannna see hearts on you card :)



So I dug out a li'l chipboard heart to go with this very cute trio & their nutty sentiment!


Only a quick post - I'll be back later - I'm late for work already!
Hugs,


Mucho hilarity when big Horror spotted yesterdays card.
"Snowflakes are gently falling?" Said he, reading the sentiment on the card. "If a snowflake came outta the sky that was bigger than your head do you think there'd be anything gentle about it? Hmmmmmm, do you?"
He has a point...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I have a confession peeps...I've had this gorgeous little stamp set for a long time, but have only just got around to inking it up...I have already made another card with one of the other stamps though, so I think I can be forgiven!


Only a quick post today, I'll be back tomorrow with this weeks RAK :)
Hugs,

Tears and tantrums...

Sooooooo, who thought it'd be a really good idea to try & cut a star out of chipboard with a long past retirement age Sizzix machine & a skinny li'l die she found in a drawer?



Me?



As if...



But just in case you were thinking of doing this, I'd have to warn you not to - the resulting crack as a bit of said Sizzix machine falls off followed by howls of rage from the person doing the cutting {which may then be followed by howls of laughter from anyone else in the room}, is not terribly nice...



The Dutch Dare challenge for this week is Dies & Punches - lots of fab inspiration from the DT as always {and I bet none of them broke a die cutter in the process of making their card...}, thanks for the {very challenging} challenge girls!


Hugs,

A quick heads-up...

... Dies to Die For have some bargainous stamps to be had - including some of the older Sarah Kays...

I'd forgotten just how oh-so-pretty these were until I dug this one out, head on over here for a peeky... ;)

Have you seen the DT call-out for Stampavie? Who doesn't love their stamps?! And seeing as how you don't get anywhere unless you try - this is my try-out card ;)

Older maybe...Wiser? Nah, course not!

Sooooo, I'm still the suckiest blogger ever {'puter's fault this time though, not mine!}, but to make up for it I'll share this li'l bit of October Afternoon yumminess with you... ;)



A big, huge thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes, cards & other li'l lovelies - they're all utterly cherished & now that my 'puter's working again I'll be round to thank you all soonest.
Now because this birthday involved a big, fat 0, I thought it only right and proper that I get some blog candy going on...so come back soon...



Hugs,

Just a quick 'un...

...this is one of the cards that I meant to share last week - hope ya likey :)




Yes, that quite possibly is a bit of October Afternoon pp you spy there...


Happiest Staurday!
