Lots to waffle on about today...

...so where shall I start?

'Kay, first up this li'l bundle of gorgeousness is on it's way to...

Look what you can do on Random org - make lists and then randomize them - how cool is that? (yeah I know, small things and small minds...)

List Randomizer

There were 34 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
1. Angela
Timestamp: 2010-02-22 09:26:19 UTC

If you can send me your addy Angela sweets, I'll get some Contrariness sent your way :D

Everyone else still with me? Or did ya just come to see if your name came top of the (genius thing known as a) Random list?
(Yes, there is a possibility that I will spend my whole entire day making lists then pressing the li'l button - could be a good way to decide what to cook for dinner every night...)

So those who are still with me, here's my card for this weeks Magnolia Down Under challenge:


Hmmmmm, was about to say this card isn't anywhere near as squiffy in real life as it looks in this pic, but I think it actually is...
More scrummy new MME releases - this is "Quite Contrary" Little Boy Blue
(no maybe I love this too much about this one - I definitely, absolutely do. I highly reccomend you go buy as much of the stuff as you can from Tracy before it all becomes
mine)

Two reasons why I had to join in with this challenge - firstly had never, ever made an easel card before (bit slow on the uptake with that one) and second (must whisper this bit cos it shouts of my slumminess) I still had all the bits on my desk from making my (very similar) CCT card for this weeks Metal Mania challenge - made over a week ago, not the best at tidying away, me...

Errrrrr, what else?
The last of my CHA samples are over on the Stampavie blog today if you wanna looksie - this is already a hideously long post, you're bound to be as bored as I am reading it all, so I'll blog those piccies on here t'morrow...

Happy Monday,

Something completely different...

So while the Horror's are out enjoying their last day of Half term freedom (am gonna have to give them a serious scrub-down tonight ready for school tomorrow - don't think the wretched creatures have seen a bar of soap all week...), I mooched around blogland for a challenge.
Hmmmmmm, I thought, spying the new Anyone For Anya challenge, something completely different...


Schtuff used:
Miss Anya Dressy
MME "Quite Contrary" Mary Mary papers (is possible I love these a li'l bit too much)
PROMarkers
Horrid, nasty Flowers and lovely, gorgeous Buttons

Look what I did!!!! There's a big ol' pile of flowers on there - could I get any more different??!! Obviously I think it'd look a whole lot better without them, but blah...

Soooooooo, shall we have a li'l giveaway?
Yeah, lets :D



Mmmmmmm, MME at it's Contrary best ;D




Ya know how it works - if you fancy this sweet li'l bundle of Quite Contrariness lemme know in the comments bit...if more than one person decides they'd like it I'll use that randomness fingy to pick a number in the morning...

Catch ya later,

See ya Later...

I love this stamp.
No like, really.
The li'l Horror does too - I keep finding little bits of paper with different coloured versions of it all over the house...


papers and schtuff are from the new MME Li'l Robots collection - all available from Dies to Dies For.
Pretty sure you'll be able to get Skater Dude here, from there too - feel free to go nag Tracy about him (just don't tell her I told you to...)

I'm rather excited to be able to say that he'll be available very, very soon - all the new Stampavie releases should start appearing in stores in the next coupl'a weeks.
How fabbytastic is that??!!
If this dude ends up in your collection please lemme know...I wanna come make sure you're looking after him properly...


Soooooo, I'm entering this li'l chap into the Crafty Creations "Stitching" challenge and the Allsorts "Tag, Ticket or Label" challenge - love sentiments tucked into the pp like little "clothes labels" like I've done here, so cute!

Think that's it from me today,
see ya later!

Metal Mania...

Yay!!!!
It's Thursday peeps - head on over here for the latest, brand-spankin' new CCT challenge
(I liked this challenge, can ya tell much?)




How old is this li'l Edwin? I found him lookin' all sad and just had to use him - c'mon, look how cute he is!

More of the yummity-scrummity new MME papers...
(I'm thinking I may need to stockpile some of these - not that I do that, of course...it's not me who causes paper shortages by hoarding...)

Catch y'all t'morrow...
Hugs,

Not just one card...

...but two!!!!
First though, I have to show you what the gorgeous SJ did for me...


It's the Horror's as Little Musings'! Isn't it just the best?!
If only they looked that looked that angelic and happy to be together in real life...


'kay, so cards...
I couldn't resist digging out some of that paper when I saw the latest Papertake challenge - in fact, it may actually have been a crime if I hadn't...



...and then I made another one...

I love this paper too!
*eeeeek, just realised tomorrow's card uses it too...oh well ;D*
Lots of the yummity-scrumity new MME papers are now in stock over at Dies to Die For (as is My Guy Ian), I'm still trying to decide which is my fave of their CHA releases...possibly it's all of 'em...
Apologies for not getting round to visit everyone - the Horror's seem to expect me to spend time with them when they're not at school... ;D
Have a good day all,

Dontcha just hate it when you can't think of a suitably witty title post?

Heya all :D
I have no cards that I can show you just yet, but you're all so nice n' lovely comin' over here to visit, I thought I'd treat (snort) you all to some of my li'l doodles...
These are of my nieces - they were happy to sit for an age while I drew them and were seriously disappointed when after 5 minutes I told them I was done.
The Horrors? Can't even sit still for 2 minutes...

I'll see ya'll tomorrow - hopefully with a card to show! Better not promise though, I've a sneaky suspicion we'll be down that footie pitch again this afternoon...

So you have the biggest, baddest flower phobia in blog-land...

...doesn't it just make perfect sense to dig out the biggest, baddest flower you can find and stick it to a card?
No...I didn't think so either...

Ouch - check out that dodgy stitchin'...actually no, please don't... ;D

This gorgeous li'l Pixie-Girlie can be found over at Dies to Die For here, along with a seriously big n' bad selection of flowers here
*snort* I meant that in the nicest possible way Tracy - honest!


Happy Monday,
