Finally a card ... WOOHOO !

For The Sugar Bowl challenge which is this fab sketch by Marlene and the added colour combo of pink and brown. When I saw it I knew exactly which stamp I was going to use. My Dress up Maggie. Isn't she a cutie ? I just love her.

The Papers are BG Urban Couture, the card is Papermill and SU. I've embossed a piece of pink with my CB Damask folder and then inked it. I've punched a flower out of the same piece and then added gems and feathers. All the embellies are from my stash.

Thanks for taking a look and feel free to leave a comment. Please call again soon.

COooooeeeeeyyyyy ....

I'm back, well I've never been away really. My pc has been running slow for the past week or so, which it shouldn't cos I had it upgraded a bit ago. Anyway we've sorted it now. We found loads of monitoring cookies in firefox. We've taken it off and this morning we've got a clean bill of health. Thank goodness !

I haven't done much crafting this week and what I have done I can't show you yet. BOO HOO! I think it'l be worth the wait though.

I had some wonderful news last week. My brother and his lady have got engaged ! I'm sooooo happy for them. I've said I'l make their wedding stationary for them as a gift.

I'l be back later with an award from my DT sister and hopefully something card like .

I got this off my new DT colleague Jan from the Sophisticats challenge blog. Jans work is lovely and her blog is well worth a visit. Also it's the launch week over at Sophisticats, so please pop along and have a go. Scrummy wedding candy to be won.

I would like to pass this on to all the people who take the time to comment on my blog and all my faithful followers. I've made so many wonderful friends in the last 14 months or so. Thank you so very much.

Now for the Aaaaaarrrggghhh. Since the weekend my pc has been running soooo slow and my modem is flashing at me like there's tomorrow. It's taken me a good hour to plod thru my blogs and try and leave comments. My aplologies if I didn't make it and I'l try and sort this out ASAP.

YIPEEEEEEE !!!! It's LAUNCH DAY ...

Over at Sophisti-cats. My very 1st DT piece over there NOW !

And this is Lisa's fab sketch that she gave us to follow. What a great 1st Challenge !

Gorjus eh ! I used my lovely Tilda and coloured her with pencils and Sansador. The paper didn't have a name on so no idea am afraid. The card is SU, all the flowers, ribbons, gems, charm are from my stash. The sentiment is from a Stamps away set. the bling flutterby is from a little £1.25 set I picked up from the Papermill.

Please come over to Sophist-cats and have ago at our very 1st challenge. A gorjus Wedding themed candy is this weeks prize.

Blogger behaving badly ...

AGAIN !
Good Morning to all my blogland friends and relations. I've been trying to catch up and visit all your blogs and comment, BUT I keep getting a script error message up. So, I've give it up for now as a bad job. I'l pop back later and have another bash.

A quick reminder for you to pop over to Sophisti-cats new challenge blog on Monday 7th Sept, for our very 1st challenge. The more the merrier !

Am off to make a card, can't say too much blogs have ears and that LOL !

It must be ...

LOVE for this Tilda. She's for 2 challenges, Colour Create which is the colour combo of "Ruby, cream and gold". And , secondly for Just Magnolia where the challenge is "Ribbons and bows".
Tilda is coloured using pencils and Sansador with sparkle on the hearts and wings. The big heart is Magnolia too and coloured the same way. There is gold sparkle onthe heart aswell.
The card is SU and the cream piece has been put thru my CB using the Script folder and then I've gone over it with a gold ink pad. The DP is Sandylion, one of my fav's at the min. They are all edged using a gold marker pen. The ribbons are both from my stash.
The sentiment is from a set by Clear stamps.
There is only 1 bow but I think on this card less is more.

Ta for popping in and taking a look at my ickle piece of the WWW. Please feel free to leave a comment and pop back anytime, your always welcome.

Sorry ...

I've not been about much over the past few days. I'm very tired and I just needed some time out. It's a fairly difficult time of year for me, what with the 1st anniversary of my best friends deatha nd this month it's the anniversary of my Mum's passing.

Normal crafting activities will resume tomorrow, I promise.
