Happy New Home

 Hello all, me again!! While I am not able to get in the saddle or do horsey things I am, however, able to craft and blog so, here is today's offering.

 A New Home Card for our youngest and his Girlfriend who have just bought their first home together. 

I should just point out that I was NOT drunk when I took this photograph...honestly!! If you tip your head to the right a bit it will look so much better!! The little house is actually Holiday House from Elizabeth Craft Designs and I used coloured cardstock so that it looks a bit like their new home. The strip of flowers is washi tape that came free with a magazine many moons ago, I always knew it would come in useful sometime!! Sound familiar? The sentiment is a collaboration of stamp and dies.

They moved in the weekend before last after a lengthy wait actually, as their offer was accepted way back in early January. It's a new conversion so no chain either, a delay in searches was the excuse. Still, they are in and getting things ship shape. We, on the other hand, have a very quiet house and Bowie and Bumble are eyeing up the now empty room!! We are expecting a massive reduction in our electricity usage though as he'd been working from home !

If you are still with me Thank you, it's always lovely to have visitors.

See you soon xx

Ribbon and Rubber at The Cutie Pies

Hello folks, hope you are ready to face the week following a lovely weekend!!

We have been lucky with the weather so I managed to mow the lawn and spend some time in the garden. Bowie and Bumble really enjoyed attacking the mower!! Thankfully they soon got bored and  then proceeded to dig up my borders...little terrors. Still, I must forgive them as they are one year old today!!
Anyway on with the job in hand.

It's time for some mid challenge inspiration Cutie Pie style!! Our current challenge is 

Ribbon and Rubber.

Here is what I made

My Presscut stepper die had an airing and the grand opening of several  more packets took place for the stamp set and other dies (oops...Love Cynthia, Sue Wilson Spring Foliage and Elizabeth Craft ). The papers came out of my scrap box and I found a piece of seam binding that matched perfectly, although it doesn't look that way at all in the photograph!!

I do hope that you will join us, if you haven't already, there is still time!!

Until next time xx

Christmas with the Cutie Pies

Happy new week everyone!! I am not so happy as it's back to work for me today following annual leave last week...boo hoo!!

Anyway,  less of that and more of this

The new challenge theme is

No man like a snowman (full details here)

I used  a CC Designs snowman that was a Christmas pressie from a dear crafty buddy (thank you ever so much xx).  He was so easy to colour and his cute specs cried out for glossy accents, which actually shows up in the photograph!! The dies that feature are from Lawn Fawn And Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Well, that's another Christmas card to add to the pile. I hope you will join in and add another card to your own collection for this year...it is only ten months away!!!

Whatever this week throws at you I hope it is a good one.

See you tomorrow  xx
