I added lots of lovely flowers and bits and bobs from my stash and a Pink Petticoat sentiment. I also decorated the inside but I forgot to take a photo. I used the latest Sketch Saturday Sketch for my layout.


Here is a close up of my image. My colouring is a bit poor on this one, the image has so many details I struggled to stay within the lines! This is a very true representation of Fiona and myself, lots of fun times, giggle and adventures, she is the Sister I never had and I love her to bits. We are setting off on another one soon to Birmingham to see Robbie Williams.


This is us on one of our Adventures last summer to see Robbie at Wembley and is one of my favourite photos of us together. I will be taking a bit of break from regular blogging for a short while as I have a lot on my plate at the moment but I hope to be back here a lot more often when things have settled down. Have a lovely Wednesday!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and are having a good Weekend. It's my day for sharing a card today on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog. I have made a card using the adorable 'Elsie with heart' stamp which is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop.


I coloured her in to match the papers I used which are by Authentique from the Smitten pad. I added a sentiment by Paper Smooches and kept my layout quite simple. I added a gorgeous buckle slide and a ribbon from The Ribbon Girl and finished with a paper flower and some stick on gems. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all well and having a good Weekend. We are having some beautiful weather here at the moment and I am hoping to get out in the Sunshine today. My card today is doubling up as my Ribbon Girl colour Challenge DT and my regular My Mum's Craft Shop post. The Ribbon Girl colour theme for March is green so I dug out lots of my new goodies to make my card.

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a good Weekend so far. It's my day for sharing a card on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today and I have made a card using some of the gorgeous Wild Rose Studio products which are available at My Mum's Craft Shop.


The papers are from the Blackberry Lane pad which is available here and I matted them on to green card before sewing around the edges. I love all the pretty flowers on these papers. I used a gorgeous green ribbon from The Ribbon Girl to wrap around the papers and to add a pretty bow which I topped with a button threaded with twine. The sentiment is by Paper Smooches.


Here is a close up of the adorable image 'Emily and Cat' which I coloured with a mix of different alcohol markers. I cut it out using a Spellbinder's die and added it to the card using foam pads. I added lots of paper flowers to finish as well as a resin one and a couple of little wooden hearts. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

Hello Everyone! Sorry I have been a bit quiet this week. I have been rushed off my feet preparing for a Carboot sale today and some family celebrations this week. Normal service should resume next week. I am kicking off a new themed week on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today. Our theme this week is 'Animals' which was the perfect opportunity to share a card made using one of the adorable new Wild Rose Studio stamps which are available at My Mum's Craft Shop.



Here is a close up of my image which I coloured in with Promarkers and Graph'it markers. She is so sweet and was lovely to colour in. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

I used Prima papers from the 'Sunny Days' pad and stamped the Melissa Frances sentiment straight onto one of the papers. I added stitching around all the edges and some gorgeous flowers from my stash. I finished with a wooden button and some stick on gems and pearls.


Here is a close up of my image. I used a mixture of reds and pinks to colour the flowers to tone in with the papers. I do love this little bear, he is so cute! I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

The image I have used is by Wild Rose Studio and is called 'Bella with gifts'. I coloured the image with Promarkers and then die cut it with a Spellbinders die before adding to a scalloped circle. I added lots of gorgeous die cut snowflakes which I cut using a Cheery Lynn die and finished with some beautiful flowers and lots of tiny gems. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

Good Morning Everyone! For my usual Thursday post on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog this week I am sharing some projects made with some of the gorgeous new Wild Rose Studio stamps and papers which are now back in stock at My Mum's Craft Shop. I was inspired by the papers in the 'Man About Town' pack to colour 'Tilly with Gift' in shades of grey and red. She was great fun to colour in! I created a layout using three different papers from the pack and added some stitching with red thread to tie everything together.


I cut Tilly out leaving a small border and added her to the card with foam pads. I added a sentiment cut using Dienamics dies and finished with a large bow and some gems.


As I had so much fun making my card, I made a tag to match using my new Dienamics tag die. I created a similar layout to the card with more stitching and coloured 'Tilly with presents'  with my Promarkers before cutting her out and adding her to the tag with foam pads. I finished with more ribbon and some gems.


I hope you have a lovely Thursday!

 I stamped the DIY Legend stamp onto white card and cut it out leaving a small border before adding it to the square panel with foam pads. I used the Dienamics Stacking stars die to cut some more stars from black card and added them to the card with glue. I popped a sentiment from the Birthday Circles set on top of the largest star and finished with lots of little stick on gems.
I hope you have a lovely Thursday!

The colours of the image coordinate beautifully with this paper from Prima which is from the Meadowlark pad. I also used some ribbon from The Ribbon Girl, a Hero Arts sentiment and some paper flowers from my stash. I finished the card with some stick on gems.
For my second card, I used a panel from the Milton panels pack and die cut it with a Spellbinders die before  adding it to a scalloped circle. The paper I used is by Bazzill and is from the Avalon pad.


I added some more beautiful ribbon from the Ribbon Girl and some matching letter stickers to create my sentiment. I finished the card with a couple of little gems and some glitter glue on the centre of the flower.
Have a lovely Thursday!

Gayle has drawn up a gorgeous sketch to follow and the optional theme is 'Plaid and Stripes'. I chose some papers from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled up pad as there are gorgeous Plaids and stripes in the pad and teamed them with some lace from The Ribbon Girl. I added various flowers from my stash and some stick on pearls and finished with a sentiment by Wild Rose studio. I am going out this afternoon to see my family for Easter and tomorrow we are going to see the Hockney Exhibition at the Royal Academy. I can't wait to see the beautiful bright paintings and hope to come home full of inspiration!
Have a great Saturday!

Hello everyone, I hope you have had a better day than me! I have another one of my demo cards to show you today, I love this Wild Rose Studio image, everyone needs a teddy bear hug once in a while!
I will be making this card at the Promarker demonstration day on Saturday at my local Craft shop, all the supplies are from the shop. I have had a day full of dramas, it started with my netbook playing up, I updated my web browser and then it would not load at all! Luckily I managed to fix it by Googling the problem and finding a solution.


Later on, I spoke to my Hubby who said that we had a leak somewhere at home as there was water in our carpet in the Living Room, when I came home, there was water everywhere seeping from underneath the lino in the kitchen from a leaking pipe behind the cupboards! It's all fixed now and we just have to wait for everything to dry out before we put everything back! Luckily my Whiff of Joy GDT pack arrived today so I have lots of lovely stamps to play which will help to cheer me up! I hope you have a good Evening!

Morning everyone? Did you enjoy the Wedding yesterday? I ended up watching it with one eye while I was crafting and it all looked very lovely. I really made the most of my day off and got all my demo pieces ready for the 14th. I will share them with you over the next couple of weeks. We have something a little bit different for you today at CES Challenges, the lovely Vicky has chosen a photo inspiration theme for us this week.
I have made a card using Whiff of Joy and Wild Rose Studio papers which are available from Emma's Shop.

It was my first time inking up my Molly Bloom stamp. I will be using it on my demo day but on a different card. I coloured him in using my Promarkers and layered all the paper pieces onto Kraft card.


Here is the photo you have to be inspired by to make your project. The gingham is lovely isn't it? I would love to have a bedroom like this.

Here's a little close up of George all coloured in, I love his little hooodie, He looks very cosy. I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. For the chance to win a £10.00 voucher for Crafty Emma's Store. Make sure you check out all the details and some lovely cards from the DT on the blog.
Have a lovely weekend!

It's my lovely Hubby's birthday tomorrow and I left it a bit late to make him a card and was stuck for inspiration so I decided to follow the Wild Rose Studio sketch and then part in their blog hop. I've never taken part in a blog hop before and it was lovely seeing all the new stamps in the fabulous samples made by the DT.

I used a Wild Rose studio stamp I bought at a show but have never used for my card and some of my lovely new My Mind's Eye papers.
I followed this lovely sketch by Dawny P which was used by all the members of the DT.

I really enjoyed using the bright summery colours after all the Christmassy colours I have been using on my cards. The spotty ribbon and epoxy star were from my stash and I have had them a long time.
I am also entering this card in to this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge.
The theme is old/new and the papers and stamps I have used are my brand new items, the epoxy button and ribbon are my old items.
I am slowly getting back to some sense of normality now after being out of action due to my back, I don't normally have time to take part in many Challenges so this has been a nice change for me! I am now off to link up my card
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

I used one of my new punches on the card and some ribbon and flowers from my stash as well as some Echo Park papers.
I hope you will be able to join us for this Challenge. Emma has a fabulous prize for you this week...a Memory Box Glitterati Paper Pad -cool!!!

It's time for the 1st Challenge on Crafty Emma's store Challenge blog. The theme for this Challenge is Anything goes. We thought we would ease in gently as it is our first Challenge! For my DT card, I used some gorgeous Pink Paislee Cupid Love Potion and Bow and Arrow papers from Emma's shop and a very cute Wild Rose Studio stamp. I really love this adorable little bear! Emma has a delivery of new Wild Rose Studio stamps coming into her shop next week, they are all wonderful and I will be treating myself when they arrive!

Quick post today for What's on your Workdesk Wednesday, it was a mess but I tidied. I crafted until midnight last night trying to get finished for Easter and here are the fruits of my labour.

Here is a close up of the boxes, I used a Wild Rose Studio stamp and some Nesties to make a simple topper.
The sentiment stamp is by Elzybells.
Make sure you pop over to Julia's to see her desk and many more and if you feel like it why not share a piccie of your Workspace too.
Have a lovely Wednesday!
