Morning all!

This week's challenge at Charisma is Anything Goes... my kinda challenge which i've set! I love seeing all the different entry's from all the wonderful crafters out there! It's been a super busy week for me, with not having much sleep i've been work work work and no fun, so my day off today is going to be a creative one! yippppiieee!


I've been playing with one of my favorite Penny Black stamps ever! mainly because it's a cat but i remember the first time i saw this stamp and i fell in love with it so typical of my cats haha!

I've coloured him up using distress markers which i'm loving at the moment! If you've not tried them seriously think about adding them to your ever growing pen collection! 

Here's my card!

The papers are the gorjuss Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection which i absolutely love!!! Pearls which I've had from the NEC from Meiflower  added some glitz with stickles and used a dear Lizzy matching ''adore'' banner along with some american crafts ribbons which i love because they go so well with not just one collection of paper but alot of the AMC brands!

Morning all!

Gosh arn't these week's just flying by! Christmas is just around the corner... has anyone started there shopping yet? I so don't know what to get anyone this year!!!Well i thought i was starting to get better until i coughed so hard yesterday i was on my craftroom floor i've either pulled the big muscle in back or slipped a disc but i can hardly move this morning and i think between coughing and crying in pain i've had about 2 hours sleep last night which aint good :(

Well i'm here this morning with a brand new challenge from Team Carly at Charisma, my lovely Teamie Lisa has picked the challenge -

STITCHES
(REAL OR FAUX)

Now i'm not the best at sewing even tho i got a A* in my Textiles GCSE but that was ten years ago! and you'd be lucky if i can remember how to thread the damm machine now, so i had to go for faux!!!!

I've used my looooovely penny black kitty in a mug stamp today, i brought this (shamefully hides) over a year ago and have never EVER used it... oooppps! (bit like most of my penny blacks) eeeek! i'm so very naughty!!! I love the sentiment which is actually from housemouse, but it went so sweet with my image, i attempted some fake stitches around the bottom of my card but i'm not happy with these i need to dig my sewing machine out i thinks........

The papers are from My minds eye they're gorjuss i'm going to have to see if i can get another pad at the NEC as i've nearly used them all! i love the new collections my minds eye have brought out recently they're so funky (weakness here for paper!)

Morning all!

Oooo what a nice few weeks break i've had from my DT work at Charisma!
I'm so sorry i've not posted on my blog since last friday, been full of cold and sticky icky nose bugs that i've not pretty much created anything!

Though i've new cards to show after yesterdays creativness!!! which i'll be back later to share!

I've Really got my creative juices flowing and my mojo back on track!

Today's challenge has been set by the lovely Vee over at Charisma!, whom i might add has been with us right from the start!!!

Vee's challenge this week was the theme 'BOY OH BOY' I know i can hear the groans now, i find it shocking of us crafters who actually hate making mens cards?!?! maybe it's because they're not just pink enough haha!! but this challenge for us couldn't really have come at a better time for me as it was my hubbys birthday a couple of weeks ago!!

So out came my flowers (ok he has no choice in this matter!!) and out came my jelly bean soup papers which i may add are fast becoming popular with me, I chose for a change to use one of my new stamps which i brought in march at the NEC, i thought this hedgie is soooo sweet!!! and perfect for his birthday card!

I really enjoyed this colour combo to, it's not one i normally would use as it's rather bright and orange and yellow scare me!! haha, but i think it's really came out well, and he absolutly loved it!!! yay!!!

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:

*Creative Card Crew - Anything Goes
*Penny Black Sat Challenge - Fussy & Fancy
