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.

TILDA MEETS JOANNA SHEEN!!

Hi everyone!

Well the sun in shining - well in Southend anyway, and the weather is slightly warming up ( if that wind stops blowing!! ), so I thought a get Tilda out and make her all spring like!!. The stamps I chose were Spring Tida and Pink Tilda with heart ( close to my heart, breast awarness - for my lovely nan who passed away with this illness ) meets Joanna Sheen!!. I looked at these stamps and I thought how cute they would look sitting on the flowerpot stamps and extra bits (from the Messy Rabbit range ), and I think it works really well. I love looking at all my stamps to see what else I can do with them, mixing and matching because we all know stamps and other crafty bits are not always cheap!!

PINK AND BLUE JUST FOR YOU !!

Hi everyone!

Today I was looking at all my new goodies I bought from Ally Pally at the weekend and, as I have got a week off work this week ( yippi ! ), I'd thought I would show you some of my new stamps. These beautiful stamps are from Lili of the valley and I think they are sooo gorgeous! I even dusted my sewing machine down today to try and do some stitching on the papers - I think I need more practice lol, but it was good fun and I will try harder next time!!

IT'S ALL ABOUT JOY!!

Hi everyone!,

Been a busy bee today sorting out my new stash I bought at Ally Pally yesterday, and I  been up since 5am!! ( not beacause I was excited about my new bits, but my beloved son was playing on his X-box and talking to his mates online and woke me up :o( !!).
So I got up, made myself and Steve ( yes, woke him up as well!! ) a cup of tea and sat and watched a film then had a look on Docrafts website at all the lovely cards the members have made.
So, after getting some inspiration from all those lovely crafter, I got dressed and went and played in my craft room!!

Wow!, What a great day!!

Hi All!,

I was up at the crack of dawn this morning, getting ready to go to Ally Pally, and I was not disappointed!!
Just say I spent a small fortune, but it was certainly worth it. I was like a kid in a sweet shop, so many goodies you just did'nt know where to start!
First I popped to Craftworks cards to get the essential 6 x 6 card/envelopes, then over to the Whiff of Joy to buy some beautiful stamps - 10 in total ( I know HOW MANY, but they were sooo gorgeous I coudn't help myself :o) )
Then I bought a couple of Cuttlebug embossing folders - birds & swirls and Daisey pattern, then I saw some lovely flowers - doodle flora - so I bought a few of them as well ( I won't tell you how many - I think you might be a bit shocked!!)
So it went from there, going to stall to stall, picking up a few bits and pieces like 3 Martha Stewart border punches, 5 Sugar Nellie stamps, 3 Lili of the Valley, 2 Sarah Kay stamps, ribbon, more flowers and memento tuxedo ink pad!!!

Yes, I think I will be a busy bee for the foreseeable future, but I did have alot of fun and my lovely Steve was sooo good he carried my bags!! ( I did buy him chinese for dinner tonight to say thank you :o) !!)

My goodies!!

More goodies and my MS punches!

My lovely new stamps!

An over view of my new goodies!!

So when we finally got home, I had another surprise, my new Magnolia stamp and magazine was here, so I quickly hid them before Steve saw them, hee hee hee.
Anyway, enough of me waffling on, must go and watch the rest of Harry Potter and have a brows around!!

Take care, hope you like my goodies, and thanks for looking :o)

Bye Bye for now, love Vicky xx

Big thank you!!

I hope you like these cards !!

A lolliopo for Suzan was coloured in with Promarkers, Funky Hands word book cdrom papers were used as backing papers ( a fab cdrom - please check out all there cdroms-sooo easy to use and I have them all!), stamped flower was from creative expressions, card candy and Martha Stewart punch round the corner double loops punch - My new toy!.

Country girl was coloured in with Promarkers, Backing papers was again from Funky Hand word book cdrom, card candy, Flora Doodles flower and same punch as above.

My new toy is the fab Martha Stewart round the corner double loops punch - never used these punches before, but it was sooo easy to use so I will probably need to buy some more!!

At the weekend, my mission is to make a 60th birthday card for my lovely mum, who is coming over from Spain, then going to Arizona/ Las Vegas - so very lucky, so watch this space for the card.

Again, A big thank you to everyone looking a my blog!!
