Lilis Little Fairies DT Card!!

Good morning everyone, I've been a nawty blogger this last week and am finally back with a card for this weeks Lili's Little Fairies Challenge. I love this weeks theme "Lavender and Lace". Think these colours are always so pretty on a card, I should make a note to use them more often. I have used tiptoe fairy and again coloured onto kraft, this time with Copics and Promarkers. (I'm experimenting I think). The papers are a mix of Basic Grey Koishi and Wisteria. You cant see the card blank but it is a beautifully embossed pearl and so pretty. Lots of sparkle and punches used and a Cream Viva Pearl Pen on the butterflies along with a piece of lace and the LOTV postcard stamp.

So here are a list of challenges;
My Mums Craft Shop - Favourite Colour Combo
Flutteryby Wednesdays - Open Challenge
Paper Pretties - Use Glitter on your Card
My Time to Craft - Your Favourite Embellishment
Try it on Tuesdays - Do you believe in Fairies
PaperMinutes - Anything Goes
Pollycraft - Bingo (flowers,punches,pearls)
Sew Many Challenges - Anything Goes
Anything Goes Challenge - Anything Goes
Sweet Stampin - All that Glitters
The Crafty Pad - Show us your New Year Sparkle
PanPastel Uk - Anything Goes
Alphabet Challenge - Y for You Can Choose
Little Darlings - Favourite Colour
Timbroscrapmania -  Wings
Scrappy Frogs - Lace
Basic Grey - Something New (stash)
Papercrafting Journey - Floral
DYSU - Patterned Paper
MAWTT - Things with Wings
Fashionable Stamping - Butterflies or Bugs

So the reason I've not been in blogland much these last few days. My dog has picked up a parasite and is now on antibiotics, but I've had a few sleepness nights I can tell you. I wish I could have put a nappy on him!! lol. The tablets seem to be working but my sleep pattern is all over the place at the moment, nap during the day then wide awake at 10/11pm. Just a small matter, I have school runs every morning so no lie in for me - shame!!! lol

And I really must tidy my craftroom, (again). All of my 6x6's have fallen of the shelf and are scattered over the floor atm, and everything else is just a mess. Could have sworn I had a good sort out before christmas. lol. Never mind, maybe I'll get to make a sneaky card whilst I'm doing it and I need to make room for new stash on order. Didnt bother to make it a new years resolution as I new it wouldn't last. 2 weeks it pretty good though dont you think - hehe.

I'm having a day indoors so if I stay awake I'm gonna have an hrs "me time" and catch up with your blogs.
Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for stopping by today.

Hello again, its saturday and time for a new challenge over at the CES Challenge Blog. This weeks theme is called "Mix & Match". We would like to see different papers from different manufactures. I just adore these new stamps from "Emerald Faeries". I have used my Spectrum Noirs to colour. I do read both good and bad comments about these. I do love the colours but yes they are juicy and will take a bit of getting used to, but on the whole, glad I got them. Will have to have a go at mixing with Copics and Promarkers to see how they blend. And yes I have bandage on my card. A bit of Crepe Bandage purchased from Boots. Gave it a bit of a stretch and frayed the edges. Quite appropriate seeings as my Zoe has her arm in plaster. hehe!!

Sentiment is Whimsey, MS Punches, Distressing, Viva Pearls and a piece of ribbon.

A few challenges;

Incy Wincy - Something Old/Something New (new stamp/papers-old flowers/punches)

Stampavie & More - Card for a Girl

We went back to the hospital yesterday for Zoes broken arm. Consultant at a glance said she would be OK in a padded sling, but noticed some bleeding on the x ray which can indicate another fracture. So theres us all geared up to going away with Zoe in a nice soft sling and worries all over. Came back, takes another look at x ray and says bad news, theres a fracture across her humerus, along with the chip in her elbow so another cast would have to go back on. Luckily they have put on a totally waterproof one and its only for 3 weeks but still got to get threw check- in at Gatwick sunday, as we dont have a proper doctors letter (thats in post) so had to make do with a sick note stating she's safe to fly.

Anyway, thats enough waffle. Just got to speak to airline this morning for confirmation his letter is OK, then off to sunny Zakynthos for 2 weeks (hopefully) So wont be back in blogland now till September.

I hope you al lenjoy the rest of summer and anyone with kids are having the best of times.

Hugs for anyone in need and sending smiles to all.

See you in a few weeks!

Thanks for looking

LOTV DT Card & Challenges!

This was originally posted on Thursday 12th May but due to blogger problems my post disappeared and never came back taking all the lovely comments I received with it. I am keeping this short and sweet due to my own computer problems.

This is my DT card for this weeks LOTV Challenge. The theme being Buttons and Bows.

Sentiment and bow/ribbon stamp are LOTV and lots of pretty embellishments, dies and punches.

I have already linked this card to some challenges but as I cant remember what they all are, I hope I'm being excused for not showing the links in my post again. I honestly cant remember them all and don't have time this evening to go threw my sidebar again. Sorry!

Apologies again for a short post. Were having problems with our router and keep loosing the network. We are waiting for a new one on order. I'm going to try and catch up when and where I can.

Another sunny morning here in England with the warm spring days finally here.

Today over at the CES Challenge Blog we have a new challenge. 

Thanks to all who took part in last weeks "Childrens" challenge, so many wonderful entries. This weeks theme is "MONOCHROMATIC". I thought this was going to be quite tricky as I couldn't see this little cutie all in brown but am pretty pleased with how my card has turned out.

The stamp is "Fairy Kiki" from Mo Manning. She's been coloured with Copics and a few White Dimples on her cheeks with a White Gel Pen and cut with nests. The papers are Fancy Pants and most of the embellishments on this card are available to buy at Crafty Emma's Store where more new stash is due soon. The Scrabble Tiles are a Papermania Box and I just love using these. Papers have been distressed and again used my Gold Adirondaak Paint Dabber on alot of the card.I just couldn't do without this. Such a great effect. The butterflies are a MS Punch. I have stamped over them with my "Field of Sky" Stamp and added Pearls using my new Pearl Maker Pen. Pretty much the same as Viva Pearl Pens, just a different variety of colours. Swirls are a Marianne Die and I've used the Gold Dabber and again the Pearl Pen. Lots of Stickles and I found my Magnolia Birds in a draw so inked one up and added it to the card.

Heres my usual list of challenges;

Sweet Stampin DT Card

Yays its saturday and this is preposted as were away in Alton Towers with my hubbys brother and his family so wont be around this weekend. 6 kids and I think rain, but I'm sure we'll be enjoying ourselves.

This week over at the Sweet Stampin Challenge, its "Team Carrie's" turn and we have a fantastic sketch for you to play with. I have used one of the new Tilda's and coloured her with Pencils and Sansador. The backing paper is a new Mangolia one to and it was pure coincidence that these matched as I'd already coloured the image. Die cut with my Nellie Snellie Oval and added a Rose Viva Pearl Pens all around. Bazzill cardstock and the large MS Border Punch (forgotten its name now) behind the image and the MS Heart Border Punch for the Edges. Assorted flowers, all stickled, Pearl Gems, Pearl Bead Spray and a Sentiment. I've also stickler around the edges of the paper as I do like a bit of sparkle.

A slight challenge rule change. Please only enter a maximum of 2 entries from now on please.

I will be back in blogland Monday. All the kids back in school and hopefully a day to catch up.

Thats it for now.

Thankyou so much for stopping by my blog today and all the wonderful comments I've received on my last card. I love reading them all and just the boost I need when I've got brain freeze!

The rest of my teams have made beautiful cards to. I know they'd appreciate you taking a look.

CES DT Piece (Tag) & Challenges

(Click photo for a much clearer picture)

Week 7 over at the CES Challenge Blog and this week teammate Kaylou has chosen the theme "Tags". We would like to see either a tag on your project or perhaps you'd prefer to make a tag which is what I've gone with although I think I may use this as a bookmark.

This is Mo Mannings "Bossy", what a wonderful stamp to own. She's been coloured with Aquamarkers onto Cartridge paper and a white pen for her cheeks.

The background was made with the Field of Sky Stamp. I bought this many years ago and spent a good 1/2hr looking for it as it was perfect for the delicate background I wanted to create. The postage stamp is Paper Artsy. Little Boy Charm & Gold Bead Spray are both available from Crafty Emma's Store and all the other bits from stash. Stickled as always.

Its not the best photo and is so much prettier IRL. Thought I may give this to my DD Zoe for her school book.

My DT buddies have great examples to share with you. Pop on over to the CES Challenge blog if you'd like a peek. Pollycraft are this weeks Sponsors and they are giving 5 digi images to one winner.

Her is my list of challenges. (I've nearly 200 active in my sidebar if you looking for more);

Sarah Hurley Challenge - Flowers

MAWTT - Anything But a Card
