TAP ! TAP ! TAP ! ...

I'm BAAAAAACCCCKKKK !

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

I can't believe it's 9 months since I last posted. What a naughty blogger I am lol !

I'm back and one of my Resolutions is to get back into blogging, challenges and making more cards ( my MIL will be pleased lol ).

I can't wait. I've got so many new stamps that I've not even shown an ink pad to. How bad is that ? !

A HUGE THANK YOU to all my faithful followers. You are all FAB !

Back tomorrow with a card I made for a special little friends birthday.

WOW and Double WOW !

Cough, splutter, splutter, cough ! I can't believe it's this long since I came on my blog. Excuse the coughing, it's all the dust and cob webs.

I hopped on to see what was happening in blogland and guess what I found ? Apart from the dust, I really must get my Marigolds on and Spring clean. Any way I digress.

I found an award from a lovely fellow blogger called Buffy over at Buffy's place. I'm so honoured that she fells I inspire her. Especially since I've not been around lately.
Thank you Buffy.

Now on to the award and the rules:

The award is given to Bloggers with fewer than 200 followers; the aim to get some new followers.
Then pass on the Award to five other Blogs.
So the actual steps involved are:
Link back to the person who gave you the award and thank them. Done - thanks again Buffy.
Post the award on your Blog - Done - proudly displayed above.
Pass on the award to five Bloggers who inspire you - Done, see list below.
Leave a comment on their Blogs to let them know - Done.

I'm passing the Leibster award on to the following Blogs:

Maz at Love Heart Home

Tracey at My own little corner of the web.

Riet at Riet's blog.

Rica at Rica's Heaven.

Mo at Digital Pencil too.

All are very inspiring and have amazing talent. Please take a look at their blogs you wont be disappointed.

Thank you my followers for being so patient and staying with me while I've been AWOL.

Well off to get some cleaning materials to get the dust and cob webs out the way so that I can start posting again.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Wishing all my blogland friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

What a glorious day ....

yesterday was not at all like Autumn until evening time. This made me think of a song I heard on the radio. Billy Idol Nice day for a white wedding. Oh the 80's how wonderful they seem now.

Any way onto the card, which is for 5 challenges, yes 5.

1. DP2 - Inspired by a song. As mentioned above Billy Idol Nice day for a white wedding.

2. Allsorts - Lavender and Lace.

3. Secret Crafter - White and 1 other colour except on your image.

4. Sketch Saturday - Sketch. Have a wander over and take a look.

5. C.R.A.F.T - Ribbon, 2 shapes ( Oval and rectangles ) and glitter ( I used glamour dust ).

Everything is from my stash, bits and bobs I had hovering about my craft room. The image is by Mo Manning over at Digital pencil which can be accessed via the DP2 challenge blog. I've coloured it using pencils and sansodor and added lots of sparkle to the dress.

I put the oval thru my cuttlebug and then inked the words. The flowers are from my stash along with the lace and ribbon.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my tiny bit of the WWW.

Sooooo Sorry ...

I've not been about lately. I've been busy doing, well I'm not really sure what. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.

Anyway all that's about to change. I'm changing my shifts at work and will be around in the day instead of sleeping WOO HOO ! I'm moving to the twighlight shift so will be home by about 2am. This means I get to go to bed before going to school with my boy. And as an added bonus I don't have to work on a Sunday, so a full weekend with my lovely family.

More time crafting, baking, reading, blogging and yes the dreaded " H " word LOL. Am so looking forward to it ! Challenges here I come so watch this space from next week.

5 Challenges Get Well card ....

I made this for my Step mum who's in hospital and it fits 5 challenges, yes 5. You should know that when I come back I do it with a bang LOL.

Craft your days away - Make your own flowers ( flowers had to be embossed and put together ). 4. Stamp something - Digi something ( image by Mo Manning ). 5. Papertake - Sketch ( layout of card ). Pop over to them all and have a go, it's fab fun.

The paper is My minds eye I think, hang on I'l check. Yeah it's called Bloom and grow. The card, ribbons and card candy are bits from my stash, the greeting is by Wild Rose studio. The image is coloured with pencils and Sansodor. Can you believe that I've been spelling it wrong all this time, never mind LOL.
