hearts and flowers


It has been a funny crafty time for me today.....
I have one card I made here that ended up
nothing like the sketch I was following....

But I am going to enter it in
Scrapbook sisters challenge who want
flowers, ribbon and gems.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This one was meant to have a red & white
gingham heart on it, but the papers looked
awful with the red ribbon I wanted to use,
so it was replaced with this wee sugar nellie
I found in half coloured on my desk!

I also managed to tear the wee heart at the
edge of the white card I had punched.
But I still like this card.

Colour create challenge wanted Kraft/red with white or cream.


~~~~~T~~~~~

Lastly.....my friend Anita makes the most scrummy
cupcakes and gives them as gifts in fab boxes.
She asked me to make a tag before.
These are some more I made based on the
boxes Anita uses.

Pink and white roses,
red and white dots,
pink gingham,
and blue gingham.

I also bought her some
"Made by Anita" printed ribbon
from crafty ribbons.

Pixie Dust want tags this week!

Hope this finds you well.

much love Teen xx

bit of this and that!

Hello, hello!
I trust this finds you all happy & well.

Three cards and three doggy photo's to share
with you before I go wondering to
catch up with you all.


A card for a lady at work with a special birthday.
This was bigger than normal for me, an 8 x 8 inch
since it was everyone in the dept to sign.


The butterfly die drove me nuts! I am not sure
if it is a duff die or what, but it protests at even
cutting through vellum!!!
It is my entry in the
~ Papertake weekly challenge ,
who want die cuts,
and my first entry in Flutter by Wednesdays
who want a butterfly on the card.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This one was sent with my cheque to Debbi
with my payment to the next Girls just wanna have fun day!
Are you going?
I loved the last one, and can't wait till October!



I am nae happy with the ribbon flower
at the top of the card, the button
is too wee and it just looks a bit faffy! lol.

~~~~~T~~~~~

The last card, I really like.
But the photo is awful!
I took it at the last moment before
I left for work, and it shows!

I have also just noticed that the wee
owl charm is facing the wrong way!

I am enetering this card in the Creative Inspiration challenge
who want text, but not a sentiment on a card!
( thanks Nat!)

~~~~~T~~~~~

So..... time for a doggy photo update!
Miss Poppy-dog has taken to claiming the foot
stool under the window.....
mainly to stop Bella getting up on it!



Which Miss Bella-Boo is not best pleased with!




But they still love each other....
Most of the time!


I hope you are all grand.
Much love

getting old

I had a fabtastic
(yes that is my word just now....)
day at the Girls just wanna have fun workshop
run by Kath, Debbi & Anne.
Will post pics of that soon!


It was lovely to see familiar faces
and put faces to girls I know
from online. x


This retirement card is for a male friend.
I loved this bugaboo digital image.

I am entering this card in ~
Creative Card Crew challenge ~ Anything goes.

I made a wee hamper as a pressie,
full of home made yummies.

hope you are all grand!
