Good evening my lovelies I thought I would pop on & give you an update on things. I have managed to get around to some of your blogs today but I will try to catch up with everyone tonight hopefully or in the morning. My dear Fudge has been really unsettled today really clingy & wanting to be near me & Craig all the time, she has also being sick & panting heavily. Anyway it looks like she is in the 1st/2nd stage of labour so hopefully this time tomorrow we may have baby puppies. So its a night in the living room tonight for me & Craig just incase...... To be honest we have no idea how long this could all take!!!

I will put piccy's on once they are here my lovelies & if I dont get round to you please dont think I'm ignoring you cus I would never do that & I will catch up with you all.

Well I'm gonna go now I will keep you up to date on the Fudge labour saga.....oooooh gosh wish me luck I've never seen puppies been delivered before hubster has but I havnt so I'm gonna be quite amazed by it all lol. Honestly you should see my face when I feel them moving around inside her & she is even bigger than when we took the photos, I'm sure she gets bigger every day you know lol.

Right I really am going now lol.

Big squishy hugs to you all mmwah

It is Saturday so of course its time for CES Challenges & this week our lovely Claire has set the challenge

SPARKLY FLOWERS

We want to see all your sparkly flowers.......so get some glitter out & those beautiful blooms & come & join us. I was hoping my new stamps had been here as I had planned to use one on my card for today as it would of been perfect. Instead I have used another one of the gorgeous stamps I got the other week.

Of course this is 'Tilda In Summer Rain' from the new Rainbow Collection

Twill Sentiment & I've attached Tim Holtz Mini Pins to each end.

The beautufl lace I won off the uber talented lovely Elaine

Sprayed the flowers with Pearl Glimmer Mist & then sprinkled glitter on to give plenty of sparkle.

The leaf is cut with a Marianne die out of kraft card. The butterflies are punched out of ribbed kraft card & then glittered up & gems added to the centre.

Tilda has been coloured with copics, I coloured her last week so I can only remember some colours.

Skin - E13 E11 E21 E00 R20 R11

Dress & Umbrella - R0000 R000 R11

Bits of shading added with W3

I added glossy accents to the umbrella to make it look wet & to the puddle & rain drops.

All done in my fave colours.........

Final piccy in its box which I made........most of my cards go in boxes so nothing gets squashed on the card.

Well thats it from me but please pop over to see my fabulous teamies creations cus they really are sparkly stunning. Thank you soooooo much for stopping by I will see you all soon peeps.

Thank you everyone for your get well messages they really do mean a lot, you can always cheer me up & put a smile on my face......a smile tells a thousand words & I'm saying 'you are all awesome & I loves ya all'

Kidney stones.....my goodness are they painful I have luckily a really high pain tolerance.......I broke my ankle few years ago really badly & the hospital thought I was really starnge as I laughed all the way through them pulling & straightening lol........I laugh when I hurt myself for some strange reason lol.

However I'm not laughing at these now but I'm not gonna cry either.....well I have twice since it all started.....ssshh tho lol. Hubby is gonna try get some where with the hospital this week so fingers crossed....

An Update which I forgot about lol.......

Good evening my lovelies thank you to everyone for the get well messages its been an extremely rough day again today so much so I cant possibly have any more drugs now......nothing is working tho. I'm still waiting on results of my CT scan I do know I have kidney stones but they are not sure if its that causing all of the pain or if its something else as well as kidney stones...........its really bloody awful tho.

Anyway I've popped on to give you an update. If you remember about 6-7 weeks ago I put a post on about my yorkies......well this is how my miss Fudge looks today.........

No she is not over-weight there are little babies in there......I've felt them moving they have been so active today lol. Hubby took these pics about an hour ago & she is looking at me as tho to say ''You let that dog, that dirty dirty dog do this to me!!!!!!!!!!''

''yeah & you pal......you should of had his tiddler cut off...........'' she then says to my hubster lol.

We have made her a whelping box today as she is due in 7-10 days time. You should see her when she walks bless her.........well TBH she waddles more than walks lol. She loves lying down here as this is normally where Natalie's chair is & Fudge lies behind it sometimes.....so we've had a shifty round & put a box here for Fudge ready for the birth & Natty's chair the other side.

P.S. Excuse the Betty's in the cabinet I love Betty Boop figures the bikes are my pride & joys I have the british bike in my other unit on the other side lol. The USA one there wasnt many made so it could be worth something maybe one day lol..........hopefully my grandkids will benefit from it lol.

Anyway I'm signing off now & going to bed I've done quite a bit of blog hopping today but if I havnt got to yours I promise to catch up tomorrow cus I really need to go bed with me hot water bottle & watch a dvd.

I will have my Kenny K card for you in the morn so until then nighty nighty peeps, take care & always keep on smiling.....we always have something worth smiling about & thats always the important thing to remember.

CES Challenges DT Card..........Saturday night at the movies.............

Good morning everyone how are you all? I want to say sorry I've not been to seen everyone yesterday I was not good at all, it was a rough day but I will make up for it today. My hubby cheered me up bless him & brought a big bouquet of flowers.......they are so beautiful.

Anyway its saturday so you know what that means.........CES Challenge time yayayyyyyy
This week our lovely Carrie set the theme & she chose
''Inspired By A Movie'' 
It can be your all time favourite movie or any other film you want......as long as your card is inspired by it & you MUST tell us the movie to which you are inspired by.
Now my favourite all time movie is ''Coyote Ugly'' but couldnt think of which of my 100's of stamps & digi's to use to depict this film. So I changed my mind & I turned to 2 new stamps I got the other week & masked them together..........& came up with a different movie lol.......

I went for ''CARS''  which is why the car is red........well that & for a challenge lol.

I sliced 2 slits in the paper & threaded my cream seam binding through & then stamped a sentiment onto it.

The flower in the corner is a red 35mm Gardenia which are just gorgeous.

This is Tilda With Pony Tail & I masked Tilda's Summer Car for her to see on. These are from the new Sweet Rainbow Collection.........I couldnt resist this set especially when I saw the car.......you know me & cars lol. They were both coloured with Copics....not sure of all colours but will put down the ones I remember as I went for diff skin on Tilda...

Skin - E13 E11 E00 R20 R11......also add a touch of R32 to the centre of her cheek.

Hair - E37 E35 E31 E50

Top - R20 R000 R0000

I have used a 6x6 Scalloped Card blank for my base. The bottom layer of blue DP & the Cloud DP are from Whiff Of Joy pad & the centre 1 with the ribbon going through is Websters Pages. The card blank, DP's, flower & card candy are of course from Crafty Emma's Store.

For the image I placed it on the clouds paper & then attached some dark grey card to the bottom & drew on white lines to depict the car on a road......I'm quite pleased with how it looks.

Well thats it from me but please do pop over to see my teamies cus they really have made absolute corkers they really have..... This was the best I could do as I was feeling ill as well at the time.

I'm off to link up now & then I am doing some hopping, so I will see ya all soonies.
