Hello Baby!

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I should have named this post 'Hello Sunshine'......It's lovely and sunny here and I have a day off.....well that makes a nice change I can tell you.
Today I have a card to share......I don't seem to be getting much time for crafting with one thing and another......but I keep trying.

The image on my card is from LOTV and I coloured using my Distress Marker pens, these are slowly becoming my favourite pens but I still can't get away from my Promarkers. The papers are from Craft Creations Ltd.....I just love these polka dot papers. I found the ribbon in my scraps box and the pearls are as always from The Hobby House. The little hearts and bows die is from Memory Box.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~

Thank you for taking the time to pop by.

Just For You

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I've finally got round to making another card......I really haven't had much time for crafting lately.

I made this card for no particular reason other than I could and this sweet topper was lying on my craft mat.
For my card I used a Wee Card Topper ~ Silver Fairy  Self Adhesive Flourishes ~ Pearl  Mulberry Paper Roses ~ Raspberry Truffle  Decorative Pins ~ Urban Teardrop  Self Adhesive Pearls ~ 5mm Ruby Mix Lace and Pearl Strings  all from The Hobby House. 
The papers are from Limited Edition ~ Dreamcatcher. The large rose was from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I'm quite pleased with this card as I was beginning to think my Mojo had taken a permanent holiday. 
I seem to have been so busy just lately and I know I have neglected my followers but I hope things are now settling down and I will be able to catch up with you all.

Gotcha Kate!!!! .....

Hello everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I just wanted to say 'Hello' and 'Welcome' to my new followers. Thank you so much for joining me on my crafting adventure.....
I would also like to offer an apology for my lack of posts and comments this week even though I've had a week off work.....I haven't stopped.
I have been so busy with one thing and another my plan to catch up and get some crafting time in went out of the window......and I've ended up decorating my dining room, gardening and hedge cutting. Taking out bathroom suites, dental appointments and the list goes on.....but I did get a day out in Lincoln with my daughter on Friday, and a lovely day at 
The Hobby House
on Saturday for the 10th Birthday Bash and today I've been to The Brocklesby Show......where despite the wind and the rain I have still, as always had a wonderful time.
Here is a photo of some of the HH DT who I met  (obviously I know Kate)

Janine, Kate & Nikki
I had a lovely day and met lots of fabulous crafter's including these three very talented ladies who I'm very honoured to be on the DT with. I also met Chris (HH's Create & Craft Demonstrator) and Hazel who were demonstrating some fabulous creative makes.
I bought lots of new crafty stash items and can't wait to tip them out of my bag and have a play.
Thank you so much for popping by.
Have a lovely afternoon.

A Spot Of Gardening....

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Today I have another card to share.....now can't you just tell I've got a week off work.
This is the card I have made for my dad for Father's Day.

My dad can often be found in the garden usually on his knees doing the weeding.....much to my mum's annoyance as he's forever ruining his trousers because he never uses a mat to kneel on.
For my card I used another of the Coloured Art Pads from LOTV called 'Vintage Boys'. I love these pads as they are great for quick cards but also give you inspiration for colouring too. The papers are also from LOTV  'Country Gent'. I added some garden twine and attached some gardening themed charms and completed my card with pearls from The Hobby House. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~

Beer Monster.......

Good afternoon everyone.
This is my second post of the day so please scroll down for my first post. As the weather turned out better than I expected we went to the cinema and out to lunch so this post is a bit later than usual.
We have a new challenge over at
A Gem Of A Challenge
and our theme this week is
FATHER'S DAY/MALE
and here is my DT card

For my card I used this pre~coloured digi image from Pink Gem Designs called Beer Monster. I added some colour to the beer glass and his horns so as to blend in with my papers a little better. The papers are from my stash. I mounted the image on to a Nestie die cut shape and added brown and green pearls from The Hobby House  around the edge. The 'Beer Monster' sentiment is also from Pink Gem Designs.
Please pop over to the main challenge blog and take a peek at all the lovely creations the rest of the DT have made for your inspiration.
