Dressing Up Like Mum

Happy Friday everyone... I found this little card I made last year and had not blogged so I thought I would share it with you.  This is the super cute Pretty Parade coloured in with Stampin Up re-inkers!

I'm so glad it's Friday though... been a very long week and looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

Have a great day!

Shocking In Pink!

Morning.... Today I have a really easy 18th Birthday card for you made for a friends daughter... She loves everything pink and glittery, but no fuss so I thought this would be perfect.

Simply Simon Says Stamp number dies covered in masses of glass glitter and then finished off with a Clearly Besotted sentiment from a favourite set!

I'm looking forward to the weekend and hitting the gym... I'm really enjoying getting back into now my hotel has great facilities when I'm away which means life is a little more consistent.

Hope you have a great Thursday

Life's A Beach Take 2

Wow, Wednesday already... I think I'm still aching a little from the gym on Sunday with Lizy, but I have a spin class tonight and I'm determined to get back in shape after all my travel.

Way back in May on a less than sunny bank holiday Monday, Sarah (Less Is More) paid me a little visit as her Mother in Law lives less than half a mile away... This was the image I coloured in showing using my copics and I never quite managed to make it into a card until last weekend.  How fab it this cool dude!

It's a very cute Tiddly Inks image from a release earlier in the year and I just love the little crab peeking from behind the bucket.

Hope you have a great Wednesday...

A Little Bit Country

Ok so I'm cheating slightly for today's card as I made this way back in May of this year but completely forgot to share it with you after the birthday event.

You may remember, Lizy and I went to C2C at the O2 in March and on the way back to the hotel we met a fabulous Mother and Daughter.  The Mum asked me to make this for the daughter for her 21st Birthday.. I love the vintage look and the tiny cowboy boot charm.

I will be back tomorrow with another little card, but I'll leave you today with this...

Have a fabulous Tuesday

Super Dad - Craft Stash DT

Morning... Happy Monday... I can say for sure that I hurt already from yesterdays gym session with Lizy, but I need to battle through the pain and keep going.  Determined that I will be able to do at least 5 full press-ups easily by the end of August and I am struggling to do even half press-ups at the moment.

I have a card made for Craft Stash this morning for you using some very simple star dies.  You can find them here in the shop.. they are currently on offer for a bargain of £6.99!!

I love how I can mix the items from the shop with my own stash too.  Here I have used small memory box alpha and added some simple stitching.

Must rush today, it's going to be a busy week for sure!

Have a great Monday!

To A Good Friend

Morning.... I have been a really bad blogger for the last 3 months or so and at one point I seriously considered giving it up and just putting any creations onto Facebook and Instagram instead.... but as I came to type up that post a couple of weeks ago I realised I just couldn't do it, instead I took the rest of July off and I'm starting August with a clean slate and hopefully a few more posts that you have seen for a while.  I caught up on my DT work for Lili of the Valley and for Craft Stash and took the well needed pressure break from having to type up posts each day.  

I feel refreshed and a little less stressed about the lack of crafting I have managed and I hope you will come back to me to see what I have been creating... Warning they may not all be cards going forward.

So enough waffling, today I have a little card from the last release from Lili Of The Valley for you.  I love how cute this guy is.. and how fab does it look on the crumb cake card stock! 

I have also used paper from the Romance and Roses 8 x 8 pad and a really simple sentiment from Stampin Up Happy Birthday Everyone (A hostess set).

I'm off to the gym with Lizy this morning ... With being away I let my membership expire as I could not commit and it's been a while. I'm going looking a gym where I can justify just paying to go at weekend :-) ... and I may ache tomorrow ... I'll let Lizy practice her PT skills on me ... Hmmmm

Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Garden In Bloom

Morning LIMettes.. Thought I would take a peak at this weeks challenge over at Less Is More today as I was up early.  Happy to see it's an easy colour challenge and those colours are "Berry Shades".

I thought it was a perfect opportunity to use one of my new Stampin Up sets... Garden in Bloom. Here is what I came up with... the only decision.. is which way the card should stand!

Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday, I'll be tidying my studio up as no matter how little crafting I do I make a lot of mess!!
