Its gorgeous weather but with a lovely breeze so perfect for drying washing so as you can guess I'm running in & out the garden with clothes & bedding lol.

I was actually in the middle of cooking mincemeat cus the family want home-made lasagne for tea......anyway I was in the middle of cooking it when I remembered about the candy.... I tell ya a teabag holds more than what my brain does.

Anyway as usual I'm babbling on & I'm supposed to be popping on quickly, already 3 times I've ran into the kitchen to check on the mince.......it would make more sense to take my lappy into the kitchen!!!! DOH!!

Surf's Up with Strawberry Surf

Good evening my lovelies how are you all? I'm sorry I've MIA this weekend but apart from a little colouring saturday night I've had the entire weekend with the family spending quality time with each other. So I will catch up with you all I did try to do little bits when I could but not a lot. Its also my daughter's birthday today wow 19 years old I still remember the day she was born & doctors telling me I would be lucky if she lived 2 weeks as she really was that ill..............she is now 19.......She may not be able to do anything & is totally reliant on me & her dad but she is loved soooooo much!!! It just goes to show life can take a turn at any moment & we have to make the most of it while we are here.

Right onto my quickie card, now this is a digi image that I coloured in a few months ago to be honest & I've finally gotten her out of my box of coloured images & put her on a card to partake in a few challenges whose themes are much the same.

This is 'Strawberry Surf' digi image by Hannah Lynn which of course is exclusive to Crafts & Me.

Papers are Fancy Pants 'Beach Babe' which I thought were perfect for this image.

Flowers & 6x6 scalloped card are from Crafty Emma's Store as well as the DP's

She is of course coloured with Copics colours I cant remember tho as its that long ago & I didnt write them down.....sorry.

Inside is of course decorated to compliment the front.

Pink & blue card & pearls are from my stash. Flags were made using WOJ pennant die.

This is 'Mirima' & OMG she is so beautiful, you can of course buy her from Sweet Pea Stamps.

Sweet Serenity

Howdie doodie peeps hows are ya 'al? I sat last night & decided to practice some more painting with distress inks & I got my sweeties out & as uusual I couldnt decide which one to do so I inked up 6 of them & went from there..........

This is the one I did first..........at least I got 6 more stamps inked up lol.....oh & my new ones got dispatched yesterday woooo hoooooo........

Anyhoooooo here is 'Serenity' by Ching-Chou Kuik.........

You can of course get this beauty from Sweet Pea Stamps.............the thing with these stamps as they suit so many different styles........you know how I love my sweet pea lol.

I have actually nee idea what style I was actually going for or what layout tbh lol.

Basically I used Prima 'Botanical' papers, Tulle, Lace that I won from the uber talented Elaine which I didnt want to use cus its just sooooo pretty but 'Serenity' deserved it, mmwah thank you Elaine sweetie. I also used some fabric from my fabric box, I also cut off a strip off the binding on the edge & stamped 'Memories' onto it. All paper got inked with white ink.

Here she is up close & personal coloured with distress inks & touched here & there with a glitter gel pen which I cant remember the name of..........ooops!!

Flowers are a mix from Crafty Emma's & my ickle hobbit doon the bottom of my garden lol. The brown card is actually from the insides of crimbo wrapping paper......recycle recycle!!!!

Well I'm off to see if there are any challenges as this I did just cus I want some Sweet playing lol.

Simply Sassy...........Simply Delicious..........

Good morning all my lovelies how are you all? I hope the weather is as glorious where you are as it is here, its bright & beautiful & just brings a smile to you face with mr sunshine beaming his happiness down..... I love the sun it always makes me happy & puts that bounce in my step.........well maybe more a limp at the mo lol.

Anyway onto my post cus there are a few piccy's today.....lol. A couple of months ago the lovey

Maria Therese asked me if I would be in the Simply Sassy spotlight..............mmmm let me think.....a nano second later.....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS......of course thats like asking if I like choccy or cake.....oh goodness I'm drooling now mmmm cake..............

Anyway my first post had to be cancelled as I was ill & lucky enough she got someone to step in & take my place phew..... Anyway we re-scheduled & here I am but Maria is not available this week so I am the Lovely Tracy's first spotlight.

I couldn't decide which sassy to use I have nearly every one of them........but there are a lot un-inked & still in there plastic :0( I'm just not one of these that has to use them everyday til they are all inked. Anyway I decided to use 'Delicious' yayyyy another one inked up lol. My brain kinda went into overdrive for this little sassy lassy.............

Well Miss Delicious decided she needed a card in the shape of an Apron & a recipe box to go with it.

This is the card.........

This is a resin embellishment I found in my stash there were 3 in the packet I got them when I started this crafting last year......will have to try find some more they are fab.....

I made a pocket on the apron to store a recipe or whatever you like really. The card on the front of the pocket I found as a freebie on google & just added my own writing in my art package.

Miss Delicious has been coloured with Copics.

This is of course the recipe box which will look fab on my bench when I've re-decorated the kitchen, which is why its in these colours as well. The flower I made myself & added a button to the middle.

Another resin bellie for the top of the box.

Got to finish making all my recipe cards there are just 2 in there for now lol.

The card is the same as whats on the card & I rubbed out some of the lines to type in Recipes & of course Miss Delicious wanted to be on the box as well. You can of course get Miss Delicious from Funky Kits who I have to say has fab service & fast delivery for those who have never shopped there.

Right I'm away now to catch up with some more blog hopping.

I've also started knitting ready for my grandchild, I'm starting with bootees first, well I'm not a knitter so start small lol.

Thanks for stopping by & huge thanks to you for all the comments you leave me they really cheer me up.

Thank you to Maria & Tracy for putting me in the spotlight.

Huge hugs to you all xoxoxoxox
