Proudly Presenting

I just couldn't wait I just had to show you all my gorgeous new banner made just for me, I love it so much it is everything I had wished for and more. The lovely, lovelyLisa created this just for me and I can keep it .........forever. I am having a little trouble believing that this is my new banner I am awestruck (if there is such a word lol). I believe that Lisa has a gift that transfers our personality into these banners with just a few descriptions of our likes and dislikes, it is amazing.If you haven't visited Lisa's blog yet please, please you must do so she is so talented.

Before I started blogging and getting to visit and know you I was not good at showing emotion it stayed bottled up inside, maybe because I have been hurt in the past and as the saying goes once bitten.....Well you have all made my emotions start to flow again you may feel I am being soppy but no. I know sometimes some may feel my comments are a bit OTT but not to me I am for the first time beginning to show and say how I feel about your creations and no I didn't swallow a dictionary lol. It is in my heart and I just love beautiful things which is why my craft cupboard and stamp holders are bursting at the seams lol.

It is a real pleasure to have Lisa and all of you as my blogging friends.

Hugs to all.

Pocket Card

Well I have been busy making this card this morning for this weeks Stampin For The Weekend Challenge which is to make a 'Pocket Card'. I watched various You Tube tutorials which I enjoyed but I wanted to do 'my thing' so I downloaded some templates from Jesgirls and made this little pocket and attached it to the front of the card I also downloaded a tag and stake template which I printed off onto the same backing papers (Bearlymine). I decorated with additional ribbon and flowers. The tag and stake I reinforced with white card I punched a hole in the tag and threaded a tassel and charm through. I decided to stamp some wellies and placed them on the stake and coloured them the same colour as Tilda who I decided to put onto the pocket. I thought it would be a garden orientated card. I am still not happy with my mojo but I think this has come out quite good and hope you like it hugs to all.

Baking For Kitty-VC Challenge

Hi all I have been watching and recording the top 40 hits of Michael Jackson, how sad it is to have lost such a lovely person and a fantastic singer/dancer and at such a young age.

I have only managed to do one card today and that is this one for the VC Challenge based on a sketch. I have used one of my new Digi Stamps from VC called 'Baking for Kitty' and don't they look lovely. I have coloured them with promarkers the backing papers are from Bearlymine except the blue lace which is from Joanna Sheen I just had to add a couple of flowers and of course a sentiment which is from Cuddly Buddly.

Actually I made four cards for challenges yesterday but wasn't happy with any of them so they will just be put to one side to be used for other things. This is the first card in the last few days that I was happy with hence it being posted. Hugs to all.

Summertime Fever

Well it appears that Summer has arrived we have been forecast rain now for a week but nothing the sun is shinning again today. I trust my little barometer more than the weather man and it is sticking on fair. This is a four in one and wasn't sure about it still not actually I know you all get those days and cards when you look at it and think ummmmm I am not sure well this is one of those for me. I have used the sketch from Mojo Monday, the colours are for the new challenge blog (well new to me) Rosie-Dee's the theme being 'Pink and Lime', Die Cut Dreams is 'Spots and Polka Dots' and finally Just Magnolia 'Summer'. I hope it is ok. hugs to all oh and please check the first post of the day below. I am not sure if I will have anymore to show today I am finding it a bit difficult to fit things in but I will be doing my daily rounds to your lovely blogs a bit later. Many thanks for having a look and the comments you are leaving are wonderful and really help to keep me going.

Divine Diva Challenge

Good morning everyone hope you are all well and safe. This is my entry for the Divine Diva Inspirational challenge and do hope it is acceptable. For this card I have used a cream hammered card base the image is of course a poppy and coloured with promarkers I added the sentiment also mounted on to red card found some extra wide black ribbon in my stash and tied a knot.....well it looks more like a mans tie lol. Then down the side I drew some black lines equal distance and added some red liquid pearls and added a gold dragonfly charm. I hope you like it hugs to all.

Please Mr Postman

This is my third card I have made today and is for Stamping for the weekend the theme being Rock'n'Roll 60's there were 3 song titles listed and I chose Please Mr Postman. I have used this weeks Sugar Bowl sketch because I liked it and will also be doing a card for that challenge as well (and I missed something that i was supposed to do lol) The image is Sugar Nellie and coloured with promarkers. I hope you like it and that's it for tonight see you all tomorrow hugs to all. (Oh nearly forgot please check out my other two cards posted below).

This is a new Digi Stamp for Victoria Case called Snail Ride and I think it is such a fun image and she has wings. I have coloured her and the snail with promarkers added a Dahlia and a gem brad some ribbon from my stash the paper is from Bearlymine CD Vol 2, the sentiment is a Serendipity and I have added some midnight stickles. Hope it is ok hugs to all.
