ANOTHER SWEET SASSY!................................

Evening all!

Hope you are all well tonight and getting ready for the year 2011! Wow what a year it has been for me, starting my blog, getting published and a DT position! I feel so honoured to meet soooo many lovely crafters and it's like having a mega extended family :o) So I just want to wish all my lovely followers a prosperous and happy New Year for 2011!

So enough rambling from me, this sweet image is another fabulous Simply Sassy girl from Sugar Nellie ( yes I did get these for Christmas! ), and she is gorgeous!. I have used some lovely papers from BasicGrey "Ambrosia" paper pad and a large flower from Craftwork cards. Ooh I do love this colour combo, makes such a lovely change from all the Xmas colours we all been using over the last few months.

This sweeetie is going into the following Challenges :-

Morning all!

Nice and early today, just finished doing some clearing up and the rest of the Bailey household are still tucked up in bed and it's soooooooooo peaceful. just how I like it :o)

So straight onto today's card and it's another super cute stamp from the fab Sugar Nellie. This time it's a fab boy image from the Simply Sassy range and he is soooo sweet.

ONE MORE SLEEP TO GO!...........................

Evening all!

Well it's nearly here and Santa will be sliding down your chimney with loads of fabby gifts! So what do you want for Xmas?? and will it be crafty lol!
So the Bailey household is all ready for the big day, turkey is defrosting nicely and the pigs in blankets are all done and dusted ready to be cooked hopefully to perfection and the alcohol is getting nice and chilled Mmmmmm (the best part heheheh)  in the fridge, Oh and by the way the tin of Roses is just begging to be opened lol!

So before I leave you tonight to sort out a couple of bits, I would like to share with you a little make I made last weekend. I bought this stamp a while ago for my daughter and I had a right mare with the hair!! It's a fab manga stamp from Sugar Nellie and when I saw it I had to have it lol! It reminded me of Bexx as she is a bit of a goth and it's right up her street :o)
