Apologies

But this post is a bit of a photo fest. I just got the urge today to take some photos :)

Firstly here is a card I made for the Greetings Farm Black and white challenge. I was quiet horrified at the thought of making a no colour card. Black, white and grey were the only colours allowed. But I really enjoyed it and I love the look!

Here is a closer one as I love how the light caught the glitter *BLING BLING*

Next is a lovely picture of Harvey Warvey and "Mil-Bilo-littlepuppydawg" as I call him! He is in his new little bed that we got as a belated birthday. I know he was 1 in May, but the previous lady didnt know his exact DOB so we havent really got a date.

So from one of my handsome boys to the other... "Cadey Woo" who is nearly 3!! He is three on 15th of this month... can't believe he will be starting school with Harvey this September GULP!

And lastly ME! and Milo Bilo Littlepuppydawg! Awww he was so snuggly into me last night I had to let hubby take a photo, I was tickling his little chest and he was fast asleep and as much as I usually hate my photo it didnt turn out too bad, yeah I look tired, thats coz I am !! LOL I had to crop the photo as he had his legs akimbo and all his "bits" on show!! LOL God I love that little doggy!

Thats if for now.

Hi there

Sunday lay in? Not for me, got a bit of a cold and just felt horrible staying in bed so I got up, means I can have a bit of time at the pc and tv on my own ;0)

So this candy... why dont you want it? I NEED more comments or its not goign to get bigger and I plan to chuck in many more items!! SO I have changed the rules slightly... if you havent got a blog you can still comment... if you have a blog I would love for you to share it on the blog as then it will grow into a bigger and bigger prize! and of course any orders placed with me from now to 12th May will mean you can leave 2 more comments.

Here are a couple of cards. Very simple but cute eh? Both of course are Penny Black. I got the stamps from the Glitter Pot. These sample cards are for a show and will be travelling around with Sir Stampalot, since work is very sparce class wise I have the time to make some cards for them. And Sir Stampalot always help me with my Magnolia addiction so I owe them!! I try not to add to many other things onto the cards as these are to help promote the stamps and not the other bits and pieces. they also prove too that you dont need hundreds of papers, dozens of embellishments to make cards. Of course I love it all like the rest of you, but for some people its all too daunting when you need so much for one card. Keep it simple! (if you want) or jazz it up, you decide.

I also have this cute picture of Milo to share. Taken the other day in the sun, you can see my Dad's rose in leaf buds so its lovely to see it growing back again. My knomes a old family airloom!! LOL no seriously when my Mum and Dad were sorting out gardens and stuff to move they looked at me with these knomes in their hands and I said "NO WAY!" you cant chuck these they are like 20+ years old, like 25 years or something.. they have always been there so I saved them from the tip.

Twilight... have you read it? OMG I loved it... I am in love with Edward Cullen, or is that James? or both? or maybe Jacob LOL I am about 5 pages away from the end of the second book. Book 3 is waiting for me and I have yet to buy the 4th. These books have gripped me and I should be getting the DVD next week. We have a new PC, well Darren got it... he doesnt mind I have a Twilight background wallpaper.. least I went for the one with Bella in as well.. I was hovvering between Edward and James and couldn't decide anyway. SAD eh?? lol

Me again

Here is Mr Milo in the snow! He loves it... we took him over the park yesterday and he really enjoyed it.

Here is a card I made using one of the lovely new Penny Black stamps from The Glitter Pot. They have these in stock NOW! I coloured this in with my SU Inkpads.

Any bird lovers out there? Tell us what this bird is? He was outside on our fence for a lot of the day yesterday and believe it or not its very spooky, I have been looking for him all morning and just as I started typing about him he is there now! He is a beautiful bird. Bigger than a starling, he has a real fat chest.

and lastly here is a card I made with a Penny Black Hedgehog. One of the new designs ;0)

Going back to my roots & have you seen the phantom Toilet paper thief?

yeah! WHo else is singing? Today I played with one of my first loves, well not in design as this is a new design for 2009, but going back to my first love in Penny Black rubber stamps. Now I cant wait for the new releases, usually I would have seen them by now but they are underwraps well and truely this year.

So this is a cute little Hedgehog which I have teamed up with a selection of fab SU goodies. The background paper is Summer Picnic, the flowers have been made from their punch and shaped, the heart is one of the Saleabration stamps and the sentiment is from one of the fab hostess sets. The silver additions, are, if you needed telling Craftwork Cards candy. I stamped the hearts in 2 shades of pink and one of red and I paper pricked the sides and bottom of the patterened paper.

Just a funny to share!

A face like this deserves a little something right?

Aww look! Too cute eh?



I made these today... very simply, nothing special as I am sure the pots will be thrown once dogs have eaten treats. The one with blue paper is for Milo... then there is my brothers dog and then Poppy and Peaches next doors rotweilers... Poppy and Peaches sent Milo a card with a bone inside last week so we decided to return the favour ;0)

Had I been able to cover the pots nicer, ie they were pots that were the same size all round then I might have made more of an effort but the way these pots are you cant cover the whole of them as they go wonky. Also the lids were blue and this wasnt working with the three girly dogs! Pots are filled with layers of gravy bones, dog rolls (dont know what they are called) and doggy choc drops and topped with more gravy bones.

This and that

Blogger was playing up for me earlier, I tried to blog this morning when Caiden was at pre school but it wouldnt let me... so now I am blogging whilst Spongebob keeps the boys entertained.

A few things to show you. One is a card and the other is a photo of a certain cutie who hasnt been photographed for a while.

First here is the card. I ADORE these Leanne Ellis stamps. And I made this card with one of the 99p pads from the Glitter Pot, scallop edge border punch from SU, BEAUTIFUL (OMG HOW BEAUTIFUL) Flower by Prima and from a good friend Kay who has SPOILED ME for Christmas and yes I AM BAD and I DID PEEK... Just a little something she said.... a whole can of these beauties and I will have to use these for cards to keep and drool over as I couldnt possibly give these away (If you get one on a card from me YOU ARE SPECIAL) and she got me more... I was so excited!! Anyway.. back to the card, coloured with Promarkers, little glitter added, scalloped piece was cuttlebugged with distressed lines.

Here is Milo... he is a cutie Patotie... a TOTALLY mad mutt (ask my Mum) so cute, funny, crazy he fits right in with us! We have had a bit of an issue with puddles but these are decreasing all the time... which is fab... He biggest problem now is going absolutely NUTS when people come into the house and he jumps up and down about 4ft!! Then if he really cant cope with excitement he might just pee on their shoes too!!

Another cute photo of him a teddy that he keeps taking off the table where the christmas tree is and it put it where it was to hide his "bits"... where the heck did those "Bits" come from? Almost over night LOL Bless him... you all know what those "Bits" also bring and as well as the boys throwing the cushions on the floor all day I now have the dog dragging his "girlfriends" LOL onto the floor.... a trip to the vets is in order for the new year to reduce those urges..

now onto something totally different.... SU Points.... did you know I operate a points scheme. Reccomend a friend who orders from me and tells me it was YOU that sent her my way and you will earn 1 point, 1 point equals to £1 ;0) Not bad eh? My friend Julie has already earnt £6! Did you know that Julie??

Fantastic deal on Memory Albums

One of my Daysies (what I affectionatly call my downline - hate that expression) anyway Natalie has a new blog and a fab offer on some albums... check her blog out http://www.natalie-oshea.blogspot.com/ and its a few posts from the top I said I would share with you as she has about a 100 off these to shift! Tell her caz sent ya!

Today Milo is allowed out YIPEEE I am waiting for Darren so we can all go on the first walk together... how sad is that? Darren took some cute photos of Milo at the weekend. Milo likes it down by the guinea pigs and rabbit. He did bark the first day but now he just wags his tail when he goes to see them. Of course I wouldnt let him get in with them! LOL





I made two cards for my class today but I forgot to take a photo of one of them... anyway here is one... its Basic Gray paper to make a "mans" card. No cute stamps on this one, although I really did like the Hero Arts background stamp I used.

I will try and get the other card off Crafts U Love website ;0)

Introducing!

Milo!

Milo is a 10 week old Jack Russell. He came to us today from a lovely home nearby. His heartbroken family had to unfortunately let him go and we were blessed to get him. He is lovely, fun, cheeky, sweet, licky, chewy and sleepy all rolled into one very cute little dog. Can I say I love him already? Well I do!!

We had to re name him, you see his last family called him Harvie and as you know I have a Harvey and it would have been all too confusing so we thought maybe Harry, but thought he's only known Harvie for maybe two weeks so a new family new name and Milo was named.
