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!

Vroom...

Gosh, a whole week without posting - mostly due to the fact Blogger hasn't let me, but a little also to do with
the big Horror having a birthday and us all inflicting ourselves upon Manchester for the weekend. Fun :)

Challenges: Lili of the Valley "Bring on the Music" {I chose the Beatles' Drive my Car as my song}

Oh Blogger...

...why do you continue to be so mean?

I've been so loyal over the years and yet you obviously think so little of me.

Grrrrrrrr! {once again it's taken me several hours to load up one photo - I'm allowed a little rant!}

I have another Tina Wenke image to share today - now that I've started colouring them, I can't seem to stop!

This one is Rabbit with Watering Can - you can see all of Tina's Stampavie designs here.

Challenges:

Papertake "Anything Goes"

Totally Gorjuss "Flower Power"

Enjoy your day - hope Blogger's being kind to you!

Happy, happy Birthday...

***Looking for the Eclectic Paperie/Stampavie hop? It's here :)***

I had a dig through my stamps today and found this little treasure...

Love that cutie and he fits in just perfect with I {heart} Promarkers' Animal theme.

A Spoon Full of Sugar has an Anything Goes theme - a personal favourite of mine ;)

I've had a few of you question why there's been no mention of either Horror recently, there's a simple reason for their absence - I mostly keep them locked in a cupboard these days.

I do let them out occasionally though, so please don't worry...

Thanks for visiting!

Happy...

There's a whole bucketful of happiness over this way today - although I have to admit all I need is a little sunshine for that to happen!

Two cards I should've shared at the start of the week, but didn't. We went on an impromptu little holiday instead - more happy for the bucket!

These were the last couple for my Guest spot over at ATS, which has now been extended to a permanent spot - yup, even more happy ;)

Thanks for visitin' - I'll catch y'all soonest,

A quick little Stampavie card for Papertake's Anything Goes challenge...

Gotta dash - there's a rather delish smell of vanilla shortbread coming from the oven and nothing'll keep me from shortbread... ;)

Miss you a Latte...

A quick little card for Papertake's Anything Goes challenge...

The optional extra this week is to use something old - hmmmmm, it's a tough call between the sewing machine that's so old it would be classed as vintage if it were a car, or the corner rounder punch I can remember buying before the big Horror was born... :)

Happy Sunday

Smile...

We've discussed my guilty craft pleasures before, haven't we?

Those times when I ignore the call of all the cutesy stamps sat on my desk and reach a little further for the pretty schtuff...

I felt the urge for a little guilty craft pleasure indulgance today and using the sketch over at Walting Mouse {kinda...}, whipped up this li'l card...

Seam binding, new MME and a happy little sentiment - I think I'm fully indulged ;)

So what made you happy today?

Do share :)

A "just because I felt like it " kinda card...

You have moments like this too, right?

You see a few paper scraps, a stamp {or two - I was playing Frankenstein again} and you it just gives you an urge to get making...

Hope you're enjoying your day - we're just back from a very muddy football pitch.

So muddy that I'm thinking of bypassing the bath and just turning the pressure washer on the Horrors'...

Catch you laters!

Sweet pea...

Happy Sunday!
