IndigoBlu !!!

Good afternoon from a VERY sunny South of England!!! :)
Exciting stuff because it's soooo nice to have more than one day of sunshine....BUT....even more exciting  than that is my news that.....
I am now a fully fledged IndigoBlu Demonstrator!!! 
I applied at the beginning of June to their demonstrator call...and a couple of weeks later had an email saying I'd been selected for the training days!!!! Whoop!!
Well...I traveled up last Tuesday to the Hotel... armed with a few projects (samples sounds sooo wrong!! lol).  On Wednesday I headed across to IndigoBlu HQ  and met up with a few other girls on the same mission! I think I probably speak for us all when I say that we had THE most AMAZING two days of solid, hard work (well...I mean, how can I write TOTAL FUN?? ;) ) ...getting messy...drinking lots of coffee...learning heaps...spending time with wonderful crafty friends...eating gorgeous food...being totally looked after...... and then being told........ WE MADE IT!!!! Wooohooooooo!!!!!! :)

Kay is such a wonderful, bubbly, yet down to earth person (even though she locked us in the car park!!! Lol)  ...and along with her lovely hubby Alfie, I will be very proud to wear my badge and work my little socks off for them! x

This is one of the 'projects' I took with me..I just love the Alice range of stamps x

And...........
................. for Kay and all the girls....a track that will forever remind me of a fantabulous time, shared with awesome company xx

On your Wedding Day.....

♥

Where has the first week of the Easter Holidays gone?? ...the last day of term seems like yesterday!!  Having said that, my poor Daisy has spent all of that week poorly.....not good having to use your school hols to be ill!!! Hopefully next week she'll be better :)

 Today I'm sharing with you a wedding card and matching candle. I was asked to make these for one of the members of staff at the school where the girls used to go...and I spent soooooo much of my time too!!! :)  I decided it needed to be a bit special...and big enough for all the staff to sign!

Mission accomplished......

♥

♥

 I made a gatefold card which had a 12" base and 6" folds. These had acetate 'windows' so that you could read the message and their details with the card closed....

♥

♥

I then needed to make a box for it to fit in!! 

♥

♥

...and this is the matching candle...

The centre of the card which held it closed....
(and in the true colours )

I wish Rachel & Sam all the best for today.....
.....and forever  ♥

Mo's Challenge # 66

Morning! :)

Well, where did that week go?????? Hard to believe that a whole 7 days have flown by since the last challenge. But... at least I'm finally managing to catch up with a few things, so that can only be good :)

This week Elaine has given us the theme of 'Around the World - Ethnic' at Mo's Challenge. I just love this image 'Jingle Dancer' ...and it's been great to colour her again.

If you get a chance, pop round to the other girls for a peek at what they've made...they'd love to 'see' you.

It's Elisabeth Bell Digi Day!!!

Yay!! It's time for us to share with you the Sept Digi from our fabulously talented Elisabeth Bell!

Now, some of you may think...huh??? Others will totally understand this image!! Lol

She is called 'Catch of the Day' and it's based on a photo of Elisabeth's little girl, which she took whilst sitting in her shopping trolley...as they do!! :0)

I have tried to give the illusion of a playroom with toys over the floor, with a lovely picture hanging on the wall!! Much like my house!! lol

Don't forget to nip across to the Digi Bells DT blog to find all the other great things the girls have made, and follow the links to all their blogs where you'll find their Sept digi creations x

I Love You...

...well...kind of!! lol

Floral Fantasy...

My poor blog has been so neglected...as has my craft desk...but I managed to grab half an hour earlier for a play in between hospital runs to see my dear Dad.
I made this card as I've been desperate to use the gorgeous Pixie downloads I got from Charmed Cards and Crafts a while ago. I've sat and coloured a few in over the last few days so just had to put something together.
The wings on this beautiful little pixie have been outlined in a clear Copic Glitter pen, but it doesn't really show up in the large picture.
I've entered my card into the challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar this week...the theme is Floral Fantasy ...

This weeks challenge 'in' the Sugar Bowl is ... 'Mother's Day' ... As Mothers Day here in the UK falls on March 22nd this year, please make a card (or other craft project) for a Mother. This does not have to be specifically a Mothers Day card, just something, you know, that a Mother would love!

I have to be honest and say that I have already made my Mother's Day card for my Mum...so... this is something that 'could' be used for a Mum...or indeed a special person! Hope that counts xI have used paper from DCWV 'Once Upon A Time'. I know...I know... how could I you ask?? :0) Well...as I said...it's for someone special so it's ok! It didn't hurt a bit! And in any case there's still another sheet of the same design...Phew!! :0) It is such beautiful paper that I haven't gone too mad with embellishments as the paper says it all really :)
Papers - DCWV - Once Upon A Time - 8" stack
