Poor Teddy....

Hello everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Isn't the weather just rubbish but I suppose we do need the rain.....but not all in one go though!!!
A couple of weeks ago I took a Copics class at my local craft shop with the very talented Kate.
Well I have to say that I was quite pleased with how my colouring turned out on this little bear but then I very carefully cut my finished image down to size and then realised that poor teddy looks as though he is being catapulted out of his deckchair. Ah well we live and learn!!!!

Well he must have had his deckchair on a bit of a slope and that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
I really enjoyed making this card as the papers are some of my favourites from Craft Creations Ltd....just love those spotty papers. I'm quite chuffed with my lacy bow too.....I'm not good at bows but this turned out OK.
Thank you for taking the time to drop by.

Thank You.....

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Finally I have a card to share.....I am so far behind at the moment with all my crafting commitments......but my mum asked me to make a quick 'Thank You' card so I hope this fits the bill.
    The papers are my all time favourites from Craft Creations Ltd and the ribbon has been in my scraps box forever. The image is from one of the Lili Of The Valley art pads. I just love these little pads, they are so handy and so pretty. The pearls are from The Hobby House as always.
Thank you for taking the time stop by.
Have a lovely evening.

Just A Few More......

Hello everyone.
Well what a damp and miserable day it has been here.
Nothing crafty today although given the weather, there should be no excuse.
So here are just a few more photos to remind me of my hols......can't believe I was sat in my shorts/tops and summer dresses just a couple of weeks ago.

This was the morning we had been hit by a 75 knot wind and had to sail around for 5 hours waiting for the wind to drop so we could make harbour.

Just A Note......

Hello everyone.
I hope you are all well today.
I have another of my giant peg note holders to share today.
I have made this as a gift for a birthday present.

The papers are Basic Grey from my stash and the roses and flowers are from a few different places, mainly The Hobby House and Wild Orchid Crafts. I won the two large pins in a Candy prize a few years ago and have never got round to using them but the colour was perfect for this project.
I would like to enter my decorated peg into the following challenges:~
Challenges 4 Everybody ~ # 30 ~ Anything Goes Crafty Catz ~ # 201 ~ Anything Goes Creative Craft Challenges 2 ~ # 20 ~ Anything Goes Through The Craft Room Door ~ Anything Goes

Thank you for stopping by.
Have a lovely evening.

Holiday....Gibraltar

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
It looks as though it's going to be a lovely day here.
Nothing crafty to share today although I think I'm finally finding my Mojo again......I thought I'd left it on holiday......
Here are a 'few' photos of our stop in Gibraltar.
This is our ship....The Crown Princess.....docked in Gibraltar. (The larger of the two....)

Buttons & Bows

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.
Today is the start of a new challenge over at 
Winter Wonderland
Our theme this week is
Buttons And Bows
And here is my DT card

Our sponsor this week is
Crafty Ribbons
Who are offering some of their gorgeous new Christmas ribbons to our lucky winner.
Please pop over to the main challenge blog and take a peek at the lovely creations the rest of the DT have made for your inspiration.
I made this card using this cute little image which I coloured with Distress Markers. The paper is from my stash and is actually purple although it looks more blue in this terrible photograph. The pearl swirls are from The Hobby House and the snowflakes, buttons and ribbon are from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated.
Thank you for taking the time to drop by.
Have a great day.
