A photo heavy post!!!

Good evening blogger friends.

 

Hope you are all having a lovely week and enjoying whatever you may be doing - hopefully getting crafty time in. I have some photo's to share with you after my card of the gorgeous Evie-Maie and the three dogs.

 

Russ, myself and Sophie went to stop with Kayleigh, Ryan and the baby last night. It was wonderful to be able to have lots of cuddles and I will get more on Friday evening as they are stopping with us for the night. I have already warned Kayleigh that I will be kidnapping her to show her off.

 

This is the card I made for them.

 

 

I have used an image from LOTV. This is always a favourite of mine although the sneak peaks of the new baby images look so gorgeous.

 

 

I have used my Distress Markers. The papers are from Pion.

 

 

The ribbon is from my stash. The butterfly border is Tim Holtz. The flowers are from Anne Marie Designs. I can only find the link to the little buds and not the pink and white flowers. The photo frame and white butterflies are from Martha Stewart moulds. I love these and I am sure I will be using these often.

 

 I have added Frantage to the border butterflies. A link to the products are at the bottom of the post.

 

And now the gorgeous Evie Maie.

 

 

 

As you can see I tried to kidnap Evie. You can see how small she still is when you see her in my bag. She now weighs 3lb 10oz.

 

And here is Abbie with Kayleigh and Ryans babies Bailey (next to Abbie) and Candy. They had a wonderful time running riot!!!

 

 

It is Russ's birthday today so we are going out to the pub this afternoon for a bite to eat. We will be back this evening as Russ would like to watch the football which will give me time to visit your wonderful blogs.

A new challenge over at Dream Valley

Good morning blogger friends.

 

I hope you are all having a good weekend. I am usually at work when this post goes live but I have today off and I plan to prepare for a craft fair at the end of the month. And tomorrow - I am going to see my granddaughter Evie. Cant wait for cuddles, I am so excited.

 

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Dream Valley. We are being sponsored by Crafty Ribbons and the winner of this challenge will win a bag of goodies. The theme for this challenge is Clean and Simple.

 

I have used an image from LOTV "Swirly fir tree".

 

 

I have taken this picture with the red background as it was lost against white though I think it is a bit too red. I guess it makes it more Christmassy though.

 

 

I have used a paper pad form LOTV and I am going to be really sorry when this runs out.

 

 

I have combined a plain red ribbon (from my stash) and a tartan ribbon (from Asda) to make this bow.

Thank you all for stopping by. I will have more time to visit your wonderful blogs this week as I am not at work until Thursday. Yippee.

 

I will take some photos on Monday of Evie

A new challenge at Diva's by Design.

Good morning blogger friends.

 

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Very tiring for me - as I mentioned earlier, I had a very long day at the NEC on Saturday and them a 12hr shift at work on Sunday. Never mind, two more days and I have 5 days off.  I have had a play with the new Martha Stewart moulding clay which I bought from the NEC and I love it. Will show a card shortly with the results.

 



Today see the start of a new challenge at Diva's by Design. The theme for this challenge is Something Snowy and it is being sponsored by Bunny Zoes. The girls have come up with some gorgeous cards so it would be lovely if you could pay them a visit and even lovelier if we were to see you enter the challenge.

 

I have used the image Penguins by Di's Digi's rather cute I think.

 

 

I have coloured the image with Pro Markers and the papers are from LOTV.

 

 

The berries and cinnamon stick are from Anne Marie Designs. The Raffia is from Asda's Christmas collection.

 

 

The dangling snowflake is from Memory Box and the other is from a Martha Stewart punch.

 

 

I have added some Frantage to make the effect of snow.

 

 

I have had a lot of trouble linking some of the products used to Inlinkz so only a few on the list so far. I think it is because I am so tired that I am making stupid mistakes. I will get back to the list when I can keep my eyes open which may be this evening.

A new challenge at Besties.

Good morning crafty buddies.

I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend. I certainly did as I went to the NEC on Saturday but more about that later.

 

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at the Besties challenge blog. The theme for this challenge is Lots of layers.

 

 You can always enter without following the theme, you still have a shot at winning one of those great prizes just not the grand prize.

 

I have just realised I have made a boo boo on the card and now I know it is there my eyes are focusing  on it. Have you noticed?

 

 

I have coloured the image using Pro Markers. The papers Simple Stories 25 days of Christmas. I Haven't added the link as they are now deleted.

 

 

The snowflakes are from a Martha Stewart punch which have been covered with glamour dust.

 

 

 

I have added Frantage to the image - hopefully this resembles snow. Around the Spellbinders die I have added liquid pearls in white opal.

 

 

As I mentioned earlier I went to the NEC on Saturday and I had a fabulous day although I was so tired when I got home.  I got there at 9 and didn't leave till 5.  I met two lovely blogging buddies Debs and Claire for lunch - it was lovely to meet you both in person rather than over cyber space. 

Some piccies of my craft stash.

 

 

Apart from the ribbons the embellies are all from Ann Marie Designs.

 

 

Gorgeous Pion papers, Martha Stewart moulds and the bright Distress Markers

 

 

Memory Box dies, LOTV stamps. I also placed an order for the new Jus-Cutz  die cutting machine.

Can't wait to play with this little lot.
