Chocolate, Coffee & Cards ~ My First DT card

Hello again.....yes it's me again.
I know I'm like the bus today....no cards all week and then they all arrive at once.
Well this is my first DT card for Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenge and I'm thrilled to have been picked as part of the new DT.
The theme for the challenge this time is:~
PHOTO INSPIRATION
And look at this fabulous photo.

The sponsor this month is Digi Doodle Shop.
And here is my DT card.

I was inspired by the colours of the cake for this card. I used this lovely image from Digi Doodles and coloured (very carefully) with my Promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated and the butterfly is a die~cut.

Mouse Trouble!!!!

Good morning everyone.
It looks as though it's going to be another beautiful sunny day.
Up early (as usual)...Going to take the dogs for a run in the woods before it gets too warm and then we're going to give the loft, which has been converted into an office a quick lick of emulsion, then hopefully I can get some crafting done this afternoon before going to my parent's for dinner.
I just wanted to tell you about a little problem I've had with a certain little critter.
This is my lovely little car which I've been having a spot of bother with......

You see...she has had a little visitor under the bonnet....which I'm told by my wonderful mechanic has done untold amounts of damage.....The 'mouse' had made a meal out of a bundle of wires which has resulted in a new alternator, a battery and a regulator not to mention a re~wiring job. It has cost me a fortune but happily we are now reunited and back on the road.
To add insult to injury my mechanic found a very tiny(empty) nest tucked under the engine while he was working so they have been having free trips all over town too!!!!
Anyway the engine has now been sprayed with a mouse deterrent and hopefully they won't come back.
Luckily I have a very big sense of humour(which is a good job) but we did think the fact that the car was covered in butterflies and daisies may have added to the problem....

The flowers were left on the car after Brogan's Prom last year....partly because she loves them and partly because she is having the car when she learns to drive.
I promise I'm working on things(craft~wise) but nothing to show today.

Thank you for stopping by.
Have a fabulous Sunday.

I hope you have all had a share of the lovely sunny weather today.
I don't have any crafty projects to share this evening but I do have some exciting news to share.I have been lucky enough to be chosen to join A Gem Of A Challenge Design Team.

I'm absolutely thrilled to bits and so excited.
I am so looking forward to meeting the rest of the team and getting to know them.

More Inky Pages......

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well this lovely, sunny Saturday.
First I would like to say 'Hello and Welcome' to my new followers. Thank you so much for joining me on my crafting journey....Wow!!! I can't believe I have 300 followers. I would also like to say sorry to everyone for not getting around to their blogs this week.....I will try and catch up with you all this weekend.
To be truthful I've been having a few issues with muscle pain this week, particularly my neck and shoulders so it has held me back somewhat....but hopefully it will improve soon.
I have a couple more of my unfinished journal pages to show today.....these are from what I call my practise journal.

I love the way the paints and inks worked on these pages so I will try and recreate them in my main journal which I plan to use for my hols.

This page I created while watching the fabulous Kate Crane's DVD.....I worked directly from her instructions or in my case.....Destructions. But I'm really happy with how it came together.

Thank you for stopping by.
Have a wonderful Saturday.
