Triplets!!

Evening everyone! 

Sooooooo, how you all doing?  Probably better than everyone in my house as we have managed to catch a virus...niiiccceee.....!!!

My friend asked me to make a card for her bestie who is pregnant with triplets...all girls!!!  How cute is that?  Never done one for such a special reason!  I know the card is blank but that is because she wanted to do all the writing herself...who am I to argue?!  I haven't done an easel card in ages..was good to get back to doing it!



 Apologies for the pictures...I forgot to take one before I gave it to her so she rushed one to me before!!

I would also like to enter this card into the following challeges:

Lexis Creations #71 - Sparkle & Shine - (glittery feet and gems)
Tuesday Throwdown #110 - Add moving part (mine is the tag which has to be moved out to read message)

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Calling all stampers!!

Evening everyone!

I was wondering if you could help me!  You see, I want to do a candy on my blog to celebrate my 3 yr anniversary on moving to Dubai.  Now, I ALWAYS do stamps as my prize and this is where I am having a problem.

Can you tell me if there are any new stamps out in crafting?  Previously I have given away Magnolia stamps - are there new ones of these?? Or any others?

If you have a suggestions, if possible, can you leave me a link to them as I don't know what shops to buy these things in because Im not in the UK and I'm not a stamper!

Really really hope that you can help me!

Take care!

Meet Snowy!

Wellll....since the kids are off school, I thought that we would play around with FIMO....had it in my 'to do' cupboard for ages so I got it out, dusted off the packet and let it see the light of day!!

Now, I haven't worked with clay since I made a higuldy-piguldy vase on the wheel..so needless to say, my first attempt isn't perfect.  Have to say thought that I am in love with my first ever Fimo teddy!!

His name is Snowy and he is going to take pride of place on the dashboard of my car!!

So, what did you do today?






Thanks for popping by!

Top TIp Tuesday Time!

Hello everyone!

Long time no see!!  Hope you are keeping well.  I went back to England to see my family and have been ill so time has just flown past.

Before I get on with todays post, I just wanted to give a huge shout out to my DT at Top Tip Tuesday as they have really been amazing whilst I have been AWOL.  What would I have done without Carol and Samantha who have been doing all the posts etc.  Amazing team and wonderful DT - feel very lucky to work with them.

This weeks challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday is 

CLEAN AND SIMPLE

I {heart} this kind of challenge.  It was ideal for me to finally show you the card I made for my 6 year old son for his birthday!

I always find it so difficult doing a card for a man/boy - so since he is a HUGE Phineas and Ferb fan, I decided to make him a Perry the Platypus card!!  He absolutely adored it and its still up in his bedroom!!



I think it completely captures Perry quite well!!!  I was so chuffed when I found the exact colour that I needed for his skin colour!

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

Craft us Crazy #26 - Inspire Us - creating a card from a TV character??
Pile it On #19 - Fairytales, Fantasies and Daydreams - a cartoon character is fantasy???!!

 Thank you so much for taking the time of stopping by my blog.  Now, please go and join in our challenge at Top Tip Tuesday - Clean and Simple challenge!

Hugs

Dragon!

Hi! 

Hope everyone is having a better weekend than me...been the doctors this morning and I have broncitis and a throat infection...feel like a big pile of plop!!

Whilst I am sitting here, thought I would show you a birthday card I made this week.  I following the fabulous tutorial over at Top Tip Tuesday, where our Magical, Mystical and Fantasy challenge is still running for a few days.

 ***oOoooOOooooh, you know, as I was looking at challenges to put my card in, I came across someone who had basically taken an idea of one of my valentines cards and COPIED it!!  WTF is that all about?  Absolutely infuriates me.  I wouldn't mind if she had said where she got her idea from but to just COPY??  HIDEOUS.  I know she has seen my card as she regularly enters my challenge blog.  grrrrr.***




 I have had these papers and this 3D shaker dragon embellishment for years!!  Thought it was about time to use them!!

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

Tuesday Taggers - Anything with Accetate -the shaker has accetate on the front

 Thanks for stopping by!
