I coloured them with Copics I have no idea what colours cus I used quite a few to do the sky........it was my first time doing this sky, I tried to make it look spooky-ish & greyed the fenced a little. I cut the pumpkins off the second sheet again & attached them using foam pads.

Its rather sore to say the least but what else can I expect from having an organ removed lol. This is the first time since last Thursday I#ve switched my lappy on but I've just spent the weekend in bed watching dvds with hubster lol- in between him doing other things of course lol.........my youngest Jake lay on the bed with me last night & we just watched dvds all night it was lovely.......

The op went well & the staff down theatre were just fabulous as always.....didnt get no bacon & egg mind!

USE A CHARM.

Yep as long as there is a charm on your creation then bring it along & join in the fun.

I have inked up another beauty.......she was so glad to see some ink bless her.........

Yes this is the other image I coloured the other day on Kraft card lol. This image is 'Belle of Bon Adventure' by Jasmine Becket-Griffith exclusive to Crafts & Me Store.

Beautiful seam binding ribbon , pretty lace & wooden heart are all from my stash as well as the charm.....I think I may of gotten the charm off Ebay......maybe!! The chain was actually silver & I put some Memories brown ink dye on it & then dried it on using my heat gun..........MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE TO COOL BEFORE TOUCHING.........IT GETS VERY HOT lol.....I can assure you lol.

The fancy edge I used a WOJ border die. The flower I crocheted & put a paper rose with inked edges in the centre & also attached some white pearl flowers at the side.

This is now in my Top 5 fave stamps, she is fabulous to colour I really enjoyed colouring her.

The image has been coloured with Prisma pencils & added stickles to part of her dress. I made a frame around her using Deckled Oval dies & then used Lacy Ovals for the bottom layer & painted it with TH Brass crackle paint.

The card is made from A4 white card. These had a special on over the weekend on A4 card so I stocked up not sure if the special is still on peeps.

Paper I used is Bo Bunny 'Timepiece'. The sentiment is 'Inspire beauty in all that surrounds you' & I cut it out using a tag die I've got & added string.

Simply Sassy............Simply For You........

Good evening my lovelies how are you all? Hope you've all had a fab bank hol weekend in the UK. Yesterday we had one of those lovely family days, we chilled all day together snuggled up & watched movies it was just one of those perfect days.............

Today tho I decided to get some crafting done & this morning decided to stop neglecting my Prisma's & practice some more on Kraft card. So I stamped a few images & here is the 1st.

I should really get my un-inked Sugar's done but well this is my fave sassy lassy so.............

Yes I used 'Fairytale' Simply Sassy as she was & still is my fave sassy from the 1st set....

Available of course from Funkykits. I have of course followed the fabulous sketch over at The Sugarbowl with the option of 'For A Girl', I didnt want to go with the typical pink so I went with my fave card colours.

I punched a heart using my MS punch out of kraft & splodged a bit of white paint around the edge & finished with a button & some Bakers Twine. On the strips of kraft I added a strip of Seam Binding ribbon, bakers twine & card candy to each strip.

The flower I crocheted with crochet yarn doubled up & added another button & bakers twine.

Paper is from Magnolia.

The image has been coloured with Prisma pencils & I added stickles to the bottom of her dress.

I cut out 2 Pennant Banners & stamped 'For You' in brown memento ink & threaded bakers twine through them. The card corners were punched out using an MS punch.

I used a 6x6 On The Edge card blank & all white, blue & kraft is A4 card from my stash.

Well I think thats it peeps. I'm gonna finish my rounds on commenting before I go bed as I've got an early start, I have to take my eldest work cus his car is in the garage for its MOT tomorrow as it failed on 2 small jobs.......well 3 but hubby is doing that one. So its mum's taxi to the rescue tomorrow lol.

Hello my lovelies how are you all? I've been quite poorly again this last few days so I'm sorry I've not been round to see you but I will be catching up with you all today. Thankfully my op is in less than a week & it cant come soon enough lol. I actually scheduled this post last night on the hope Im catching up on some sleep lol.

Anyway its Saturday so of course that means its time for CES CHallenges......this week the lovely Jane has set the theme & its a colour challenge this week........

PINK, BROWN & AQUA

I didnt think I'd be able to make something but then at 9pm last night I remembered I had an image coloured from a few weeks ago that I could use, so made a card.

I also made this card for a friend for her birthday so I'm really hoping she likes it........fingers crossed!!

I've used Bo Bunny 'Gabrielle' papers perfect papers I think for this challenge. The flowers & 6x6 On The Edge card blank are also from Crafty Emma's Store.

This of course is Teddy Bea 'Your Wish Will Come True', she is one of my fave Teddy Bo images.

She was of course coloured with Copics & I added yellow stickles to her wand & Star Dust stickles to her wings.

The sentiment is Whiff Of Joy & the button is from my stash. The 'Birthday Wish List' is a Whimsy Stamp & finally got to ink it up. The corner was cut out using a Marianne die out of kraft card & giving it a splodge of white acrylic paint. Lace, kraft card & gems are from my stash.

Well thats it please pop on over to see my teamies gorgeous creations.

Here is another from that coloured box these have been done for ages & I really want to get more crimbo cards done.......

So I used 2 Bildmalarna stamps 'Mimo With Stocking Cap' & 'Mimosa With Candles' I got these both from Dies To Die For.....I think lol but I cant find the Mimosa one anymore...........

The gorgeous papers are Websters Pages & Emma has these on sale at her shop at the mo. I've had these since last year but I'm thinking I may get some more while they are cheap lol.

Both images were coloured with copics & Mimo's hat has has Frosted Lace stickles adde to his hat & bobble. I've sprayed the Poinsettia's with glimmer mist & sprinkled with glitter dust. The plastic leaves either side I found in my stash.

The sentiment is from a LOTV sentiment stamp set. The edging at the bottom I cut out using a Whiff Of Joy die. A4 card is from my stash & the craftwork 'On The Edge' Card is from here.

Well thats it from me I will do some more blog-hopping before I get back to my crocheting, I have a few baby blankets to do. I have 1 to do for my cousin who is having a little boy in October, its a surprise tho lol & I'm making her a keepsake as well.

Teddy Bo Time..............

Howdie doodie all my lovelies how are you all.

My little yorkie man Charlie went the groomers this morning to have all his hair cut off & a pamper OMG he looks sooooo different, I actually thought Craig had picked someone else's dog up lol. They nearly didnt let him go cus they all fell in love with him.........he's got a brilliant temperment tho bless him......

Anyway onto my card which is for Teddy Bo........I'm actually on doing a commision for someone with Teddy Bea but its not a card but I thought I would have a break & make this as I saw the challenge this morn & just HAD to enter............

This is TeddyBoBea & is part of 3 tags & its called 'Three In A Row' which you can get from

Teddy Bo & Co. I have just used 1 of the tags.

The challenge over there is 'Black, White & 1 colour of your choice' well I chose browns cus I have this gorgeous new Prima pad that I was dying to use............

The label is from some ribbon in my stash & I just cut off a small part of it to make a label.

The crocheted flower I made myself a while ago & instead of using wool I used the thin crochet yarn but doubled it up to make the flower. Button is from my button jar.

Hopefully you will be able to see the sparkle on the fly & on parts of her dress & the heart on her arm.

I used a silver spica pen to add some sparkle.

The twill & button are from my stash, the bakers twine & the 6x6 Petal Blank Card are from

Crafty Emma's Store.

Added lace & black velvet ribbon at the bottom.

Custom Made................

Hello my lovelies bit of a quickie as I'm in the middle of cooking chillie Con Carne.

I decided to have another go at one of these less is more kinda cards.........I know I always usually failed but I've tried to do a male card this time as I have had this stamp for ages & long time & its about time it got inked..............

This is a wood block stamp.......I do tend to neglect these they sit on my shelves crying!! Its by Stamps Happen & you can get it here. I did it in the same colours as I love the red!!

I love this stamp I think its brill for those male cards.........actually I think its brill for anyone who loves cars.

I layered the image onto a piece of grey card & a piece of red card & glued it to this 6x6 On The Edge card which I got from Crafty Emma's Store as also the card candy which I made to look like screws lol.

Well thats it I'm off to link up then dish tea out.

For my card today I have used the latest fantastic release of Steampunk images from Kenny k, my favourite set yet & set 2 of this collection is due beginning of September so watch this space my lovelies...........oooh I cant wait!!

This is 'Lady Victoria' I had to use her she is my fave....yeah ok cus she also has the same name as me...I'm thinking hubby would probably like me in the outfit lol...

The chain thingy & sentiment charm thing are Tim Holtz.........I'm good at naming things arnt I .........lol.

Used gorgeous cream lace & a length of beautiful deep red velvet ribbon.

The paper clip is Tim Holtz & the flower I made myself with scrunched paper & tulle & distressed it with inks to make it look aged........

Isnt she beautiful.... I have coloured her with copics. The image she is stood on is a digi image but I cant remember the company.....I lightened it in my arty thing on lappy & then when printed it got a good beating with Vintage Photo & a bit of Walnut distress inks. I then give it a few coats of UTEE & cracked it....all to make it look old.....

I added to cogs from hubsters watch again lol....1 in the corner of the image & 1 in the top left corner of the card & added a gem to the centre.

The paper I used for this card is Bunny Bo 'Timepiece' which I think is perfect for this sort of card.
