Uptown Girl

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
It's a beautiful morning here and we're just planning where to go for our dog walk today.
So it's my turn again to share a little inspiration over at
The Hobby House
And today it's a card

Hobby House products used are:~

Topper Kenny K - Uptown Girl

Pearl Flat Backed Lotus Flowers

Self Adhesive Pearls ~ 3mm Sea Charm

Mixed Ribbons ~ Raspberry/Wine

The papers are from my stash and the Nestability die is one of my new sets...I just love these shapes. I distressed the edge of the topper before mounting it onto the pink die cut card.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Have a lovely day.

At Last A Diagnosis & A Card.....

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.
It's been a strange old day weather wise....cold, windy, rain and thunder and now warm sunshine.....is there any wonder we never know what to wear!!!
Well I went to see the Rheumatologist on Thursday and he has diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia which is as we suspected.....so at least I know what I'm dealing with now.
Today I had a little time to make a card and here it is...

Recently I treated myself to a few new stamps from Stamping Bella and this one is Faith the Fairy. I coloured the stamped image using my Copic markers. The papers are First Edition Papers ~ New Leaf.  I added a white lace ribbon and bow with a small clear plastic button flower at the centre. The pearls are from The Hobby House and the sentiment is computer generated. I finished off by adding some Star Dust Stickles and Liquid pearls.

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

Giant Paper Clips In Pink

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
It's been another long day at work and the weather has been wonderful.....or so they tell me!!!
It's my turn again to share a little inspiration over at
The Hobby House
So I thought I would make a bookmark using a giant pink paperclip.

I've used this fabulous Kenny K image and after distressing the edges a little bit I mounted it onto a die cut piece of pink card stock....this has got to be one of my all time favourite nestie shapes. I then added a tiny matching ribbon and some flat backed pearl Lotus flowers and adhesive pearls to finish off.

Birthday Wishes...

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are well.
It's been a beautiful weekend and I've managed to get lots done and lots of walking too....I'm on a mission to lose some weight......maybe if I ate less chocolate and biscuits I might manage to shed a few pounds!!!
Anyway I've managed to get a bit of crafting in too.
This is a Birthday card that I have made for a friend's Birthday this month.

The colours are dreadful but they are a very subtle green with white.....It has been awful trying to get a decent photo but who am I to complain about the gorgeous sunshine.
The picture is from Pion and the papers are from my scraps box. I distressed all the edges and added some lace, pearl strings, a doily and some self adhesive pearls, The sentiment is a stamp from LOTV and the brads and flower spacers are from the back of a drawer.....I found these while tidying up this morning......
I seem to be getting back in the swing of things with the old crafting Mojo returning and I'm hoping I will know a little more after Thursday as I finally have an appointment with a Rheumatologist.....so hopefully I will be a little wiser re all my symptoms involving the upper arms and shoulders......
Thank you for taking the time to stop by

Tag It!...

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Today I would like to share something that I should have blogged last week and I forgot as I was away in Whitby....naughty me!!!
This was my inspiration piece for The Hobby House.....Whoops....I seem to forget so many things lately.

This time around I decided to make a tag for a male. I used this great image ~ Hobby House Topper Kenny K - All Rounders and lots of pieces of card and paper from my scraps box. I die cut some circular Nestie shapes and added the ribbons which are also from The Hobby House. To finish my tag I used some cork alphabet tiles.....and there it is.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Time Out.....

Hello everyone.
I hope you are well.
I have to apologize for being absent lately and for my lack of commenting. I have been struggling with some ongoing health issues and have really not felt like or have been up to creating anything and to add insult to injury my mojo has well and truly done a runner.
Anyway I have been trying to recharge my batteries and have just arrived back after a lovely week in Whitby....my favourite place anywhere.
My Favourite Place

Our Favourite Coffee Shop

Our Favourite Pub ~ Fabulous Views

Goathland

Staithes

The weather was surprisingly kind to us....raining at night and warm during the day and we had some lovely walks (which I struggled with at times but I was determined to carry on). We had some  wonderful meals out at The Marine, The Magpie, The Humble Pie And Mash Shop and a gorgeous Sunday lunch at The Dolphin. We did lots of beach combing and fossil hunting and had a fabulous trip on a steam train to Goathland....and I managed a play with my Copics so hopefully I will have something to show you soon.........

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments and for staying with me during my time out.

Have a lovely day despite the rain.

I will try and pop around your blogs shortly so I can catch up and see what you have all been up to.

Still lots going on at home at the moment but will try and squeeze in some crafting along the way.

Keep Out...!!!

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
