Little Sweetie...

Heya all...

It's been a good few months since i blogged but i'm glad to be back and creating once again! Thanks to all those who've kept in touch with me, im in a lot better place and a lot happier now!

I'm here this evening to do my best at keeping my position over at C.C.Designs, i was so heartbroken i've not been able to create and design for them for the past few months whilst my life was turned upside down, i'd love to stay apart of the team...

So what have i been creating... well... with the nice weather thats been around the last two days it's time to break out the ice cream and what better way to do that then with gorjuss 'Meoples I want Candy!' now there's four in this set but today i've just concentrated on the one! and based my card design completely on the ice cream girl! 

I've gone completely out the box on this idea and it's totally 3D (now gotta figure a box for it!!)

C.C Designs July Preview!

Well... it's been ages since i posted to my blog, those who know me know i've had some devestating news recently i lost my father and i've been so upset etc with all of it, I've not been into my crafts or shop stuff for nearly two months, but with time things get a lil easier and tho nothing will be the same again i have started to get back into the things i enjoy a lil more.

With that said i wanted to thank the amazing design teams i'm on and my friends/family for all the support and understanding you've shown me over the last difficult months i can't thank you enough.

April Showers

Morning all!

It's our brand new challenge at Charisma! Today! And this fortnight's theme is ''April Showers'' 

The way the weather is here in the UK it really (well to me) doesn't matter weather it is really April or not but legend has it that the great british weather really is just rain... i sooo hope we have a nice summer didn't really get much of one last year.

With that said my Design Team creation today is featuring the lovely ''Roberto's Rascals Grouchy Kitty'' stamp from C.C.Designs  

I totally love this stamp, so reminds me of my kitty kat, he hates the rain and now he's back out in the land of the garden it's so funny when the rain starts he dives through the cat flap quicker than anything i've ever seen!

So here's my card that i created for today, it's very CAS for me as i wanted to show off the actual stamp as i really love it! and it's kinda a scene in itself! 

*Card Recipe*

*C/Stock -White Neenah Card from The Hobby House & blue Card Stock from limetree crafts

*Mediums - Promarkers & Flexmarkers

*Stamp - CC Designs Roberto's Rascals grouchy kitty

*Other  - Gems from Meiflower
