Apologies

for not getting round to visit all your blogs. I am having computer "issues" hoping I can get my laptop fixed this week, the port where you put the electric cable has come loose, and will not power up!!!! So annoying, as have my whole life on my laptop!
I am on the ancient old laptop, which is super slow, does not have word, and likes to jump screens, so incredibly frustrating as you can imagine!
Oh well, at least the sun is shining. xxx

11th hour less is more

Hi, hope the weather is as lovely where you are as it is here, shr sun is shining and the birds are singing = lovely.
Here is a card I made donkey's ago, but never showed.
I am going to enter it into this weeks Less is more challenge, where the theme is Thank You or Congratulations.
Everything bar the sparkly gems are Stampin Up.

Charisma DT - No card allowed - Decopatch

It's another Charisma Challenge, this week, we would like to see anything but a card, again, there are some great prizes to be won.

I struggles with this one, after lots of thinking! lol, I remembered I had brought a decopatch set at a craft fair, so I made it. I really enjoyed doing this, I think it could be addictive! Oh dear!!! lol.

In real life the areas that look red are in fact pink, it is really bold and bright, I have put it in Emmie's room for now.

I joined fat club today, so I'm off for a cupa, muller light and a slimming world bar of chocolate! yum.x

Boo bank holidays over

Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend, and enjoyed the royal wedding> I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kate was so composed and all round brilliant, fancy having to speak in front of all those people, and walk up that isle, which must have felt like forever. I hope they will be very happy, and are now allowed to have some special time together away from the spot light.
Anyway, this is how we enjoyed bank holiday Monday, we went to Paignton Zoo with some friends, I nearly brought home a giraffe! lol

Fluttering by.......

Hope you are all having a lovely long weekend. Here is a card I made with a Pink Petticoat image, I coloured it with Promarkers, added some shimmering papermania gems(which are really pretty in real life) As the image is so big, I wanted to keep it simple, so mounted it onto some fresh green bazzil, and then onto some oink bazzil which I embossed with pretty flowers.

I would like to enter the card into the following challenges:
I Love Promarkers: No designer papers
Dare U 2 Digi: Shaped card
Paper crafting journey: Bling
Pear tree crafts: Colourful
Crafts 4 Eternity: Anything goes
Creative Friday: Open theme.

My lil girlie

I had to share this pic of my little girl Emmie, altough we call her Lula Belle. As some of you know she made quite an early unexpected enterence to the world, she had her fair share of problems. A few months ago I never thought we would have her home, let alone looking so well, and her she is on top cheeky form blowing rasberries to the dog!

EBay Sale

If you fancy a bargain, head over to EBay, as I have listed some bits and pieces and will continue to add items over the weekend. Most items are 3 day listings.

I have added Copics, a job lot of Little Claire stamp sets, some Pink Gem stamps, Rubber tapestry and so on.
