............now I know we ALL love our ribbons & lace.

Now this week the girls have all used the latest new rubber stamps that the boss sent us...........wow I was ooohing & arghing over all them...........yes they are even drool worthy.

They are new stamps by the fabulous artist Zindy Nielsen, isn't she a beauty!!! Now us DT girls have had a laugh at our design creations this week as nearly all of us have used the same stamp lol..........pop on over to here to see how different though they all look & how totally gorgeous & talented are my teamies.

Both ribbon & lace were from my stash & the heart is from a MS punch. I've added white gesso to give it a shabby chic-ish look lol.

Of course I have done a multi pic for you ;0) If you click on it to make it larger you will see the gorgeous Heart & Key charms I tied together.

The flowers are 25mm Wild Rose, Red Carnations, Cherry Blossoms, 10mm Deep Red Roses & Hip Rosebuds, I also added Doo-Hickey Leaf.

A Card For A Boy...........

Hello everyone how are you all? Did all you yummy mummies out there in the UK have a fabby mothers days yesterday? I had a super duper one, was told I was not allowed to do anything all day..........not even allowed to make a cup of tea, it was brilliant lol.

Anyway have you read my title, yes you are on the right blog I have made a boy's card. Well actually I made this over 2 weeks ago & then never had the time to take a pic or then put on my blog lol, so finally he is being shown.........

I finally inked up one of my LOTV boy stamps, I love LOTV male stamps but I am guilty of neglecting them :0(

I've added 'Jute' fabric across the middle. I used a Doo-Hickey die for the cloud & the smaller cloud I got off the gorgeous Krista...........the idea is to put a die-cut number onto the front when it goes to the recipient, depending on his age.

The stamp is called 'By The River' & I coloured him with copics AND I even wrote the list down & placed it inside the card so I wouldnt lose it..........should remember do this at all times lol.

E13, E21, E00, E000, E0000

E57, E55, E53, E50

B97, B95, B93

C2, C1, C00

G99, G94, YG97, YG93

B00, B000, B0000 & white gel pen added to bits for the water & the log I forgot to write down lol.

I have used the lush MME 'Paris & Co' papers, love this pad as its fab for male or female which is just cool!!!!!!! I inked all the edges with Walnut DI & matted onto dark brown card.

Button in the top corner is from my stash & you gotta love those screw brads..........I've had them ages & always forget about them. I have kept the card simple as its for a boy & boys are tough & dont like foofiness lol ;0)

I thought I would show you this photo take on my phone last weekend when we went Ben & Megans for tea. Payton absolutely loves her big MAHOOSIVE rabbit 'Thumper'..........would you believe he is actually just a baby........look at the size of him!!!!! (Though this pic does not show his size well, he's actually nearly as big as Charlie). The dog of course you may recognise from my photo's from a couple of years ago.........maybe a bit less lol. That is Charlie who was our yorkie but he was always more for Ben so when Ben & Megan got their own little nest he went with them. He's just awesome & the most fabulous dog & we miss him but thankfully we see him most days, either if we go down or sometimes he will come up with them like yesterday............so its cool cus I still get to give him snuggles ;0)

Well I'm gonna come around & see you all now not been on the internet this weekend but I will catch up todayw ith you all.

Thank you soooooooooo much for stopping by, loves yous all mmwah xxxxxxxxxx

Saturated Canary - Honey

Hello my lovelies long time no see............well ok its only been a week but in blogland a week feels forever, well it does to me lol. So I'm extremly behind in everything I'm doing at the mo, however I've kinda made a pact to get bac k on track this week.

Starting with my VERY late DT card for the new Saturated Canary Challenge which this fortnight is....

GOOD vs EVIL

Tbh I found this quite a toughie, but luckily you can do just one or the other if you want.

I went with one of the gorgeous new rubber stamps & went shabby chic mixed with a bit of..........I will just show you lol..........

This gorgeous lady is 'Honey' by the uber talented Krista of course.

I love this image, she kinda reminds me of myself..............a tom boy with a girly side to her, she's just soooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!

Papers are the gorgeous MME 'Blush' & I've inked the edges with Weathered Wood DI & ripped 4 strips of paper & layered them on top of each other to add to the shabby chic look ;0)

Added Prima 'Say It In Crystals - Black' to the top corner. I've also used MB 'Forget Me Not Stem' die, I used pink & grey card then sprayed it with florist spray to soften the colour.

Lace & pink seam binding are from my stash. I added Prima Flowers & the other flowers are from WOC & the length of pearls are also from WOC.

'Honey' was coloured in copics & I added a lot of shading with prisma to add to the shabby chic-ness. I cant remember the colours as she was coloured up over a week ago & I forgot to write them down :0(

I made a bow with the seam binding & added a gorgeous 'Padlock' charm & a pink 'Scalloped Pearl' to the centre.

Theidea behind the card was rock chick with her frilly girly side saying......''When I'm good, I'm good...but when I'm bad I'm better''. We all do things we are not supposed to, whether it be eat too much choccy or sneak some new craft stash in while hubster is not looking................or eating that last cookie ;0)

You can of course get your instant fix of SC goodness from Krista' shop here or if you love the inkiness that comes with rubber you can of course get them from My Crafty Heart.

Will be round to see you laters once I've done my housework & my grandaughter has been to see nanna & gramps ;0)

Thank you sooooooooooo much for your continued support it really means the world mmwah.

I have used a new rubber stamp coming soon to CRafts & Me Store.

This is 'Heather' by the uber talented Hannah Lynn, I loved colouring her & I did this in one of my fave colour combo's, Blue & Brown ;0)

I've used Magnolia Doo-Hickey 'Swirl & Leaf' dies. I made a double bow with Shabby Seam Binding & attached that to a bow made with Cheese Cloth & then attached the gorgeous Pearl Trinket to the centre, I soooooo love these beauties.

The tag I cut from 'Huntington Garden' paper & added a Tim Holtz 'Trinket Pin' which also got the gesso treatment ;0) The rose is from WOC & added gesso to it & the butterfly is from my jewellery crafting stash.

I added gorgeous Pleated Tulle & added Organza Rose trim on top. I also painted a Silver Metal Corner white with Gesso, I also added it to the Tulle & Rose trims & other bits here & there.

Of course this lady was coloured with copics, I think I can remember the colours.....
