cuddles and cuteness

I am having a great week at home,
to those people who say that
if they won the lottery they would still work....

I say....
NOT ME!!!!
I could easily amuse myself !

I made this card a wee while ago
but it only turned up at the person's house
yesterday so can only post it here now!

An alternative anniversary card.

I have the poem on the computer upstairs
it is all about how love is weird! LOL.

I am entering it in Scrapbook sisters Challenge
who want your make to go over the edge.
Thank you to Julie for suggesting same.

This is a card I made today,
for a cousin who I lost touch with 22 years ago
and found again online thanks to
facebook!!!

I am entering it in A spoonful of sugar
who say anything goes.
Oldie but a goodie, who need the image
to be more than 6 months old and
want pink & girlie.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This card was for my hubby's birthday.
I love the sentiment, even though
these older Magnolia's have no mouths!
What is it about stamps that have no mouths?

I am entering it in the first challenge over
at Ribbon girl's blog
who want orange, black & white.
and Creative Inspirations
who want two or more images.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This is for a fellow witchy mate!
LOL
I found it when looking
for the above Magnolia stamps,
and although I am early for Halloween
I love this stamp!

My time to craft want kids on the card
and this young lass is trick or treating.
Allsorts who want you to use 3 or more punches
well I have used three different punches
for my leaves.
I love this time of year, the pretty colours
as the leaves change is just stunning.

My fave pixie dust digital download!
*My Edward*
sigh....

The card I entered over there won
their challenge last week!
Wooo hoooo!

This card was for my Hubby
for our Wedding Anniversary
which is tomorrow!!!

It is my take on the sketch at Cute card Thursday,
Papertake weekly want animals
and Crafty Pad who want embossing.
The wee sheep & bird is a crafty pad stamp.

Poppy has not been replaced,
Bella has taken to snuggling up with
a huge toy dog called Dudley.

He doesn't seem to mind the smell of wet dog!

stuff and bits.

Holla!
Hope things are all good with you guys,
things are ok here.

Few makes to show you,
this was from a sketch,
but I took so long between thinking
about it, and actually doing it,
that the challenge has passed
and I can't even mind who set the
sketch in the first place!!

Anyway....

I got a bit carried away with inking the
edges and I love these papers,
think they are basic grey.

This is an altered notebook,
using a Sugar Nellie Autumn stamp
which is on offer as a set just now.
I have added the persons name,
but don't want to show it on here
since I still haven't posted it yet....

I am entering it in three challenges....

Creative card crew,
A spoonful of sugar,
Allsorts,
who all want autumnal colours.

Lastly an easel card for a man at work
to give to his daughter.
The dog is actually Poppy.
I used a sketch thingy online to
used to alter a photo of her.
The papers are Bo Bunny.

Talking of Poppy.....
Here she is with her wee Pal Bella,
in their nice new bed.
Also known as their play pen....

Bella is a smidge taller and longer than Poppy now....
And still growing....

Love to you all.

fish & bits.

Had two requests for cards
from a lady at work.
The first one is for her son,
who loves fishing...
so that was easy enough.

The second one was for her neighbour...
I find it difficult to make cards
for someone else to give to someone
I don't know....so I asked.
"tell me what he likes?"
"Well he likes smoking fish in his garden...."

It seems he smokes fish to preserve them...
But she loved my take on it.
Just as well...
I know they are both similar
but I loved the paper that was
left over from the scrap page I made
my Dad's fishing page from.
They are also quiet similar in colours
as I thought it was fishy colours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one is for my Mother-in -Law
who the family call Mop.
I am really into using green just now.
I am trying my distressing inks to colour again,
smudged a bit on his cheek
but I did like the rest of it.

Poppy has been poorly lately.
She suffers from colitis, and
as long as were are really strict with her
diet is usually really well.
But she found something nasty when
out for a walk.....best not to ask what.
And had a wee flair up of tummy problems.

So a trip to the vets, 3 injections,
some antibiotics and a oral syringe of
stuff to soothe her gut were prescribed.

I know you don't share medication....

But Bella doesn't....

It wont do her any harm,
they both love it!

Poppy's puppy is growing fast.

They love to play,
Bella has no interest in the small puppy bed,
unless Poppy is in it!

I know the wrong dog is
in the wrong bed

But they are happy!
Hope you are well.
love Me xx

Emma's gone off!!!

Emma wants me to let you all know the she has no internet till Saturday!




Normal service should be resumed about fives minuets after Steve gets through
the door after being away for the week!

So peace & quiet for me then!!!
