I've been ill - Get Well Soon

Hello
Sorry I have not been round your blogs or done my fair share of DT comments but I have not been well.  I thought I had got away with all the bugs which has been going round but my beautiful, gorgeous granddaughter gave me tonsillitis - I struggled on for 12 days knowing I was ill and still going to work but finally went to the doctors on Monday and he confirmed it was tonsillitis and gave me penicillin, and it has taken until today for me to feel more or less normal.  So once I have posted this I will have nosey round your blogs :). 

I have a card to share with I made ages ago when my mother-in-law was in hospital for some minor treatment.  It is a gorgeous digi call Nurse Honey from Sassy Studio Designs.  It is a great image and makes a fanastic get well card.

I used glossy accents on the syringe and the red crosses, although it doesn't really show up on my rather dark picture, I think I must have been in a rush when I took it. 

Hope you enjoy my card and that you all keeping well.

Off to catch up with you all and complete my DT commenting.

Digital Tuesday - Your favourite colour

Good Morning,
Today we have another Challenge at Digital Tuesday and our theme this week is Your favourite colour.  We are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish, and I chose Penelope Puppy as I had a birthday card for a friend to make and she just loves my Cocker Spaniel, Rosie and I thought Penelope looks a lot like her. 

I printed the image out a few time and decoupaged it, I coloured the image with Copics and used chalks for the background and then sprayed with Shine and Sparkle to set the chalk. 

My card is a 'spring fold' card, which you can see on the full view, I tied a big purple bow, with a dangling heart charm and a yellow flower. 

This view shows the spring fold.

This view shows the decoupage. 

Now go and check out my other teamies great designs. 

Thank for looking and any comments you leave me, I just love reading them all.

Digital Tuesday - Life is Peachy

Good Morning,
Second post of the day please don't forget to have a look at the other one for some Easter inspiration.  This one is my DT card for Digital Tuesday and it was my turn to choose the challenge this week and my choice was 'Life is Peachy' - one of my favourite colours of the moment for cards which is Peach and this week we are sponsored by Spesch Stamp. 

I have chosen to use a Wee Digi Stamp - Spring Blossom coloured with Copics - I just love this image and know I will be colouring her in again very soon. 

I have used my CraftRobo again for the card base and paper mats, the roses were also cut out on the CraftRobo.  The paper is from Cuddly Buddly.  The tree die is a Memory Box and leaves are Marianne Designs. 

Isn't she so pretty, great image for spring. 

This is a close up fo the flowers and leaves. 

I decorated the inside to match, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it. 

Hope you like it - don't forget to check out my other teamies brilliant makes and I am looking forward to seeing what you create too. 

Don't forget to have a look at my Easter inspiration which was also posted today.

I love Easter an extra two days off work.... whoooo.... So without further ado here is my DT card.

I have used Beautiful Tilda and colour her in Copics and sparkled with Stardust Stickles, there is a Spellbinders Nestie, Magnolia Dragonfly dusted with Glamour Dust, the egg die is a Memory Box,  and the leaves are a Marianne Die you can get all these and more at the Craft Den  The fence die cut I bought off ebay and the flowers are WOC. 

What a lovely card you say, but wait is it a card or.....

another of my chocolate bar wrappers.... yum yum, the ribbon slides off to reveal a large bar of Galaxy.  I used a Martha Stewart punch around the edges and the sentiment is computer generated.

Happy Mother's Day

Hello everyone
I hope all you Mothers out there are having a lovely day and being spoilt.
My mother's day started on Friday when my step daughter and baby Zara took me out for lunch and gave me some lovely flowers, card and a gift card for the Trafford Centre (she is seeing her own mum today of course).
Then yesterday my other step daughter came with her two children Ava (6) and Leo (2) and spent the day with us, she brought lunch with her and we bought a take away for dinner so no cooking. I spent the afternoon with Ava in the craft room - look what we made.

Ava coloured this in all by herself with my Copics and I guess her mum will have received it by now. She also went through all my stash and made a little pile of gems, pearls, flowers, ribbon, brads and then we covered a heart shaped box with pearls, brads and flowers to keep them in, wish I had taken a picture of it, it was so pretty. Ava does not live near us so we only see her once in a while - I so enjoyed my time with her yesterday.

Isn't she sweet, this was taken on a Princess Party day, that I bought for her and a friend last August. We went to Manchester and they had their hair styled and make-up and nails done, then they had a fashion shoot and were also shown how to walk down a cat walk. Such a good day out for a little girl, although when we took them to Pizza Express after we got some funny looks from parents as both little girls had make up on and fancy hair... LOL.

And not forgetting sweet Leo too, is adorable such a happy little chappie but into everything.

Anyway that is all from me now, off to wrap some presents for my MIL and then off to see her and then tonight I am being taken out by my five boys plus two of the girlfriends for dinner... lucky me.
