LOVELY DAY IN PARADISE!!

Hi Everyone!!

Well, I have had a lovely day in what I call paradise !!, my craftroom lol. Spent all day in there, no house work was done or cooking, my lovely Steve done it all for me lol and I am starting to feel sooo much better!!

So I was looking through all my lovely stamps and I made a couple of cards, watched create and craft tv and the lovely Sheena Douglass was on, what a lovely treat and an inspiration ( Sheena is so talented and one of my favourite experts!) My first card I made today was a Sugar Nellie stamp "coffee time" and the second card was a Joanna Sheen "wild rose", another very talented lady.

LONG WEEKEND YIPPEE!!

Hi Everyone!!

It's been a very long week ( I know it's only thursday!! ), but it's awful at work and I am absolutley shattered!!. I have now 5 wonderful days off, and I am going to turn my phone off and have a play in my craftroom tomorrow!!. Hopefully the weather will get better again, but I think bank holiday and bad weather goes hand in hand lol!!

Enough of me waffling on, so here is my little creation I made last weekend ( which seems ages ago ) with one of my fav LOLV boy stamps!!

BUTTERLY SWIRL

Hi Everyone!,

Hope you all had a lovely day!, been gorgeous here at Southend - on - sea and hopefully will just as nice tomorrow!!. Been busy in the garden this morning then I popped down to my craftroom to make a couple of cards for birthdays that are coming up in the next couple of days. Had to make the most of it because my next day off will not be until Friday, which seems along way of boo hoo, never mind!!

So this card I made is for my close friends daughter who will be 18 on monday, she is not into cutesy images as she is a bit of a goth, so I thought I make her a swirly butterfly card using one of my all time favourite stamps from creative expressions, and I must say this was my first stamp plate I actually ever bought!!

CLASSY LADY

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone is well, the sun is still shining and the weather is warming up for the weekend!!
Been mandatory training today, sat through 7 hours of fire, CPR, handwashing and manual handling and my head was buzzing when I came out !!
Got home and ran to my craft room to chill out  and I made this lovely card from Wild rose studio.

Sweet and Sassy

Hi Everyone!!

Well, went back to work today, loads to sort out as always, and those Surgeons can really irritate me lol!!. Never mind, at least I am at home but my poor mum is still stuck in America!!. I see DC are sort of back to normal tonight, and I did manage to upload a card on their site woohoo, so I see how long that lasts, but members are still not rating as much as they use too, what a shame.

Anyway, enough of me waffling, this beautiful image is a Sugar Nellie stamp - sweet and sassy - and you guest it, the designer is Elizabeth Bell!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG BUT NOT FOR MUM!!

Hi everyone!!,

Well, the sun is shining for a change and it's getting warmer ( well today anyway!! ), but unfortunatley my poor Mum and Stepdad are stuck in Los Vegas!! ( well, suppose not so bad hee hee hee ). My poor mum went to America for her 60th birthday but she cannot get home because of the volcano ash over in Iceland, ouch, so she might be stuck there for a while ( not very happy as you can imagine!! ). So, while I am waiting to hear from my poor mum I made this little card  of sweet peas - just love this stamp from creative expressions - just so delicate and a pleasure to colour in.

FEELING BETTER!!

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone is well tonight, and not getting to stressed about the DC site. Feeling a bit better tonight, the site seems to be running faster and I think people are starting to rate the projects!! HYPPII!!

To cheer myself up I got my Sugar Nellie stamps out and chose the lovely Summer ice cream stamp by the designer Elizabeth Bell. I just love her designs, so very cutesy and delicate and they look gorgeous with soft/pastely colours.
