love is...

I decided instead of making Christmas cards for the folk at dog class ,
I would make some calenders using my favorite picture of Poppy and her boy dog Blue .

Over at One stop challenge, Paula is looking for something blue....
Will there is plenty blue on here, I have actuarially picked the worst calender to take a single shot of, the chalk ink was clogging up the stamp....
and I thought I had pulled out all the splodgie ones...
The stamped paw prints look like blobs on this one!

Oh poppys boy dog is also called Blue!!! LOL

So it kinda grew from there......
I need to get a couple more calender tabs to finish two off here.

This is my take on Marskia's challenge at Sketch Saturday.
It will also get a calander tag hung from the bottom of it when I get some more tomorrow.
I have done a wee bot of wire twisting on the buttons.
Love this effect.
Have doen a fair bit of bead work for Yule gifts today, bay can't show them just yet.


Yesterday my friends Shelia & Bruce got married down south.
this card was made using Laura's sketch at 2sketches 4 you.


I am not sure about the two rings on it, but needed something to keep it to the design.
The green is the colour of her bridesmaids dresses.
The lace if actually some I had left over from my wedding dress.....14 years ago!
Sectret Crafter's Saturday Challenge is to use some embossing , heat or dry.
The doves were done using my cuttle bug and are both embossed.

I need to get few more bits done for yule gifts tomorrow and then see where we are on the Yule cards.....
stressed.....no ....NOT YET!!!! LOL

have a good week ! xxx

sunday makes while the beef roasts....

I have had a lovely relaxing day.
Just as well cause my cold had taken a snotty turn for the worst.
So while the beef is roasting and the yorkie batter is sitting waiting to be cooked.

While listening to Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter audio book,
I managed a few cards, some of which will be entered for challenges.

I am enjoying colouring with my whisper pens using the blender pen.
The results are much prettier than neat pen to card.

I will put a sentiment on it later in the top left corner when I decided what I am doing with this card.

It is to be entered in the ABC Challenge, this weeks theme is lace, and I only had thickish lace
so didn't want to put too much on the card, but like the wee bit in the corner.


The next two images are pink petticoats, cute wee birdies.
This one is not for a challenge, just liked how it turned out.

This one was for a challenge but I can't mind which one.... *sigh*



The last one is Sugar Nellie's Chef Hamish, first stamping of this new wee lad for me.
He is for the Sketch Saturday challenge.
Think I will also include him in A spoon full of sugar challenge which is pink and green together.
Again I am happier with the blending of the pens.
the background papers are funky hands paper blossom I think....

here Birdie, Birdie......

Haven't done much crafting this week...again.....
but when I was round at Emma & Belle's we did manage a wee bit of this and that.....
Belle di a fantastic job of glueing.....

And.....

I did my first ATC.

And her is one that the lovely Emma gave me....



Awww! I love the stamps she used....
