Oh Lazy Day...

Hello me lovelies

On Sunday i went to Doncaster Dome with the ladies from Craft Group...we had a fantastic time & spent a fortune lol
Also i was fortunate enough to meet the Lovely Donna from My Happy Place...what a lovely lady, Donna is a very talented & inspirational lady so please pop by her gorgeous blog & say 'Hi' :D
Donna was doing some gorgeous demo's for 'Little Claire' & i was lucky enough to have a sneak peek at the 'Cutie Pootie' range...only one of them i might add but oh my they are absolutely adorable!!

At the moment 'Little Claire' are holding a competition of naming 2 of the 'Cutie Pootie' stamps and if you win you can get your hands all 6 of the new 'Cutie Pootie' range...how fab is that!!

While i was at the 'Little Claires' stand i thought id have a nosey at their stamps....now i have never used or nor i have any of their stamps till now...oh my god what have i been missing, now you know i love my Nutcrafters stamps & that will never change as they will always be my number 1 but 'Little Claire' are now my 2nd best stamps...they are fantastic!!

Anyhoo one of the stamps sets i bought is 'Lazy Days'...these are fantastic male stamps so i came home & made a card straight away, here it is & hope you like it....

Nutcrafters Challenge #4 DT card - Bonfire Party!!


Hello me lovelies

How are we all??
Can't believe we are nearly at the end of October....OMG!! Where has the time gone?!?!?
By now everyone has usually sort of finished getting ready for their Halloween parties & by now starting to think about their Bonfire parties next...so as its that time again for another fantastic Challenge over at Nutcrafters, the girls decided to have a 'Bonfire Party' theme challenge but remember you need to use a Nutcrafters image to win the fabbie prize of 
to spend at Nutcrafters Store....how great is that?? 

To help you along with our challenge the Katie & Colette have provided a freebie for you...so go on crafters what you waiting for, go grab a freebie & enter our challenge to see if you can win...alright speedy don't disappear yet as i haven't shown you my card!!

Now i have a little confession to make as the card I'm about to show you isn't the original card i made for this challenge, the original got a little wet...yes i knocked my cup of coffee all over it *tapping my hand* naughty naughty me for having a cuppa on my desk & whats most annoying is i never normally have a cuppa on my desk for that reason so god knows what i was thinking at the time....so the moral to my story is NEVER have a cuppa on your desk as its a disaster waiting to happen *hanging head in shame*

Right i best stop waffling & show you my card which to be honest I'm not happy with at all but had to come up with some fast last night so here it is....
(yeah sorry only one photo as my camera decided it had enough looking at my not so good card & decided to die on me well not actually die but run out of charge....not having much luck am i!!)

Mummy...you're beautiful!!

Hello me lovelies

Tonight's card i made for the Crafter's Companion challenge & with it being 'Breast Cancer Awareness Month' they chose 'Pink & Green' theme. 
I made a 'Pink & Green' easel card using a S.W.A.L.K stamp called 'Mummy'...which is absolutely gorgeous & just perfect for this theme.
I know a lot of women...& men too...who have breast cancer which is bad enough to deal with but then when you are told you have to have the breast removed....there's whole lot more emotions & feelings you go through, i know at the back of your mind you are grateful your still alive but there is still this feeling of loss...well this card is a little reminder that no matter what, you are all still beautiful...Never forget that!!!
My Mum is a 'Breast Cancer' survivor and thankfully has been cleared for some years now & i would like to dedicate this card to my Mum & to let her know she is precious & beautiful....Love you Mum!!!
I would like to send comforting ((((((((hugs))))))) to those who are fighting this terrible disease, those who have fought it & to those who have lost loved ones!!
 There are 3 words i would just like to say to those who are battling cancer......................
Comfort....Remember your not alone!
Faith....have faith in yourself that you can fight this terrible disease!
Hope....hope of healing!!

Right going to get on with showing you this card as I'm welling up here with tears....sorry!!
here's my cards & hope you like it :D
