A favourite colour of mine ..

Evening lovely bloggers, just thought I would post this little gift I made for a friend, I like to take her something when I go to visit so instead of flowers etc. I made this. I always take our Sunday afternoon tea too...Homemade Cherry and Cheese Scones (seperate scones of course....lol) they would certainly taste odd mixed together wouldn't they :o  ......
Anyway  she sends out lots of notelets and cards as she is pretty much housebound caring for her 98yr old Mum, so I thought this would be useful to her :)
I used this Gorgeous Image from Crafts and Me called "Casting Down Imagination" and of course I used my all time favourite colour and papers.
Which brings me to Crafts and Me favourite Colour Challenge

This was the front,which I made 8x8 so I could use my normal sized cards and envelopes as notelets. I made five notelets to go inside, a book of stamps and its a great little gift.

The Back I left plain, but not sure now if it needed a little something on it :(  a bit boring!
I am also entering it into
 Divas by Design Challenge 54 Fairies & fantasy
Flutter-By-Wednesday challenge 207 

Well hugs for now, I am off to do some blog hopping and then maybe a little crafting.xxxxx

Here's to our Golden day, it gets ever closer :)

a dash to Mo's

Hi Lovelies, Just another quick post as I realised I hadn't entered DP2 challenge 153..Dies & punches, and it finishes in 11hrs...tut!
I have been so busy this week...doing nothing I think. I certainly can't see very much I have done thats for sure.
Well without any more waffle i will post this and get it linked up.
 I am certainly not happy with it at all, but couldn't get my head around anything today. Never mind I will be better organised for the next one :)

Well thats it for the moment but I will be back very shortly with another card I have made. You might know it has poured with rain all day, so spent the afternoon crafting :)

 see you soon xxxxx

Hugs xxxxxx  

the quickest post ever!

Hi here I am again, I really should be in my bed :o
 but i have made this card tonight and I wanted to enter it into the Crafts & Me..In the Pink Challenge. as the challenge ends in a few hours I needed to post it and link it up tonight. I am just loving these gorgeous images and this one was so lovely to colour, she is called "Cali girl" I coloured her with Promarkers and added a little polychromer pencil to her. I really must have some more of these adorable images as soon as I can afford some, I have about four I think which I bought with my Candy win from Mina, Thanks so much Mina for introducing me to them :)
 Well I said it was a quick post and so it is....

Catch you tomorrow, Sleep tight everyone and sweet dreams xxxxx 

Game on...

Evening everyone, At last I have got down to crafting :) too many Birthdays in one week if you ask me....lol  Hubbies 70th went off very well on Sunday and My eldest Grandson was 25 yesterday also My only Grandaughter had her 17th yesterday, so we are well and truly Birthday washed out! I really can't believe where the years have gone either. Hubby certainly doesn't look his age and it fools me that the years really have passed us by. He is still 17 to me....lol      well maybe not quite xx
Well enough waffle, Here is the first card made since my little holiday break. It was certainly hard trying to get my head in gear. I tried colouring the image with pencils for a change...not happy with results but at least I am sort of back in the craft mood, So I might try another one with pencils before too long. 
I am entering the card into Mo's DP2 buttons Challenge

sorry picture isn't good..can you believe it, the Sun was too bright.

I dare not complain though, as we don't see enough of it.

Thats all for now, catch you very soon.xxxxxx

 

I'm back :))

Hi my lovely friends, I am back and hopefully I am going to craft today :)   first time in almost 2weeks    :O   Totally lost my get up and go and could have slept on a clothes line most days!    ....but I am here feeling must brighter andready to start afresh....but first I am going to hop around Blogland and see what you have been up to behind my back. Its been one of those situations that I have missed your chat and creations, but not had the energy to join in. I think I must have had a virus or something... had to be serious when I couldn't even Blog.....lol
Anyway Here I am and I will call round to see you as the day goes on, then I am off to visit two Grandchildren at teatime for their birthdays. One is at work and the other at college through the day.
It's a week full of Birthday in September :)

Its Thursday though so please pop over to MAWTT  and support my lovely teamies, Kim has a fab  new challenge running aimed to get you in the Christmas gift mood.
 See you all very soon,  Huge Hugs to everyone xxxxxxxxxx

Little Boy Blue...

Hi Lovely bloggers, Hope you have all had a great weekend and that you got  some Sunshine. It has been brilliant here on the N/E Coast, what a wonderful change from wind and rain. We had a lovely walk this afternoon and then  came home and had gorgeous home made scones for tea... cheese ones and cherry/with lovely butter and strawberry jam on....yummy! Bang goes the diet this week.....lol  back on the wii tomorrow for double workout!!!
Tonight I have a card to show you that I finished off yesterday, Its for Mo's DP2 "Lovely Layers" Challenge. I chose this little cutie of Mo's, isn't his hair just great, I love the way its all wispy and sticky out....lol
 The Papers are from a pad that my daughter bought me, It doesn't have a name on it that I can see...sorry!  I added some ric-rac braid and inside I made a little pocket to add a tags to write on, and could also add a gift voucher.

Well I think thats all for tonight as I think its a telly night with Hubby tonight :) might even finish the bad diet day off with a glass of Red :)
 Hugs
