C c c crikey its cold!

Oh my its cold Bloggettes! Perhaps its living quite high up that our air is mountainous and therefore colder... or perhaps that its February and its just been my birthday and that its always cold then? lol

Oh I was 23 by the way, just in case anyone's asking....

So I was sat in the kitchen having a coffee and a browse of a magazine, oh and a chocolate biscuit was involved, when I could hear a funny noise. I looked out of the window and saw hailstones the size of peas! The noise was them hitting the conservatory roof which kind of amplified the noise somewhat. I nipped out to get a picture to show you, I mean I know you'd really want to see....


Pretty big huh?


Enough of the depressing weather - I hope we have a summer this year!

I saw on someones blog these cute little stickers from Accessorize - sorry can't remember who's blog! So naturally I felt obliged to buy some. Well mainly because the little bird ones go perfectly with this sentiment stamp from Magnolia. A couple of nestability shapes and an MS branch and it was done. Super super quick. ;))


Now sometime ago I bought this voluptous Fairy from Mo Manning. I think she's wonderful! I must be going through a purple patch at the moment. This is the second purpley card I've done in a week! That makes 100% of the purple ones I've done in the last year!


I even glossy accent'd her lips and she has a lovely pout!

Well best get a wiggle on and find food...

Stay warm folks.

Seeing double!

Howdy Bloggettes!

My word we've had every kind of weather this week! Even more of that nasty S word stuff! Yipes.... no more please. However I think mores coming. Its my birthday over the weekend and its never nice weather! Yes I can appreciate that in February the chances of a red hot day are somewhat... shall we say slim.... but a break from ice and snow on it would be fab! Oh in case anyones interested I'm 23..... Er moving swiftly on!

Over at Totally Gorjuss our most recent challenge has gone LIVE! hahaha how grand does that sound? Well it has and its a sketch. Simple sketch because I did it and I only do simples :)) So this here is THE sketch, see I said it was simple didn't I? Now being a softie at heart (don't tell anyone) you may rotate or twist.. OK I'll even allow a tiny tweak!
Oh and this week the challenge is sponsored by Joanna Sheen too.

So this is my card for it. I opted for an Anya stamp this week, I coloured her to go with this Daisy Bucket paper I seem to have had forever! I'm not convinced by the backing paper though... I never seem to have what I want. Does that mean I'll have to go shopping do you reckon? I think it might!



Aslso here's my card for this weeks Softpencil spot too. Michu is singing his heart out! I do hope they're in tune - lol This wekk its a 1,2,3 challenge. So 1 of one item 2 of another etc

I opted for 1 image, 2 colours and 3 decorations. It was tough! I opted to keep it fairly plain and simple. I think it works quite well and it made a lovely quick card. Which we often need! Or is that just me?


Have a saunter over to both blogs and see what the other DT girls have done.

Take care!

Hearts and flowers

Hi Bloggettes - cor blimey its cold! We've had some more of that nasty white stuff again today! Yipes more of the 'S' word, I was rather hoping we'd finished with it. Seems not, well at the moment anyway. Fingers crossed its short lived.

Anyway while I was out the other day and purely because I had to I bought this sweet little Tilda with her lollipop. I'm sure you'll understand when I said she made me buy her.... believe me the pain when she twisted my arm right up my back.... I had no choice but to cave right in...

So she was inked up and coloured with Copics. Her lollipop has been Glossy Accented just because it was on the desk really. Papers are 'Two Scoops' by Basic Grey. The swirly background has little hearts in the pattern and is a favourite and this was my last sheet! I was hyperventilating I can tell you. A few roses and cherry blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts and punched leaves and she was done. The flowers they have there are totally fabulous! They also come in the neatest boxes too.

So because I've got hearts, flowers and a Magnolia stamp on it fits perfectly into the Just Magnolia challenge too.


So I managed to avoid getting the bin in the photo too - impressed Joanne? ;)) Oh and an 'arty' one showing the flowers. That's quite good for me, usually I cut them off when I try that!


Now the other night I was sat watching TV when all of a sudden I was covered in bird food! What the heck I thought??!! Well when I looked round it seems that Harry was under the impression that her dish was a bit full.... either that or what she wanted was right at the bottom. Therefore the only course of action open to her was to empty the dish..... oh boy did she!

Enjoy Kath!

Tando heart

Howdy!

Just a quickie one from me (thank god you all cry)

Fabby Di at Tando Creative is running a competition to win a hearts and crosses board made out of her lovely chippie. Each piece of the board was made by someone different. This is my little effort. My heart was covered with a very thin wood. I applied a lick of cream metallic sheeny paint (Can't remember the name of it!) A couple of prima flowers, spacer, pearl brad and charms (heart and key) oh and pearl hearts were all from the Hobby House.


Pop over to tando and check out the rest of the pieces - they're fab!

This weeks Gorjuss and lemonade!

Hi Bloggettes! Brrrrr! My word its been chilly today, at least though none of that nasty white or wet stuff. Its been beautiful really, clear blue skies and lots of sun. So cold though best viewed through a window ;))

So first I've got an award! The lovely Sarah W, my Totally Gorjuss teamie gave it to me! My own personal lemonade cart! Actually I might have a teeny tiny spot of vodka in mine.... ;))


Now the lemonade stand is a thing of lurve and friendship. So I have to pass it on to 10 other bloggers.

Now over at Totally Gorjuss this week our challenge is paper piecing. We had a super turnout last week 80, yes 80 came and played! So come and play.... anyway what did I do for it? Well I used one of my Magnolias. I went for purpley shades for a change. I had some coal that I needed to use.... So here she is - pretty huh?



Now some of you may have seen my pie photos - yummy! Oh and I sold them all too! So I thought I'd show you a few other new things I made this week.

This is a Peanut Butter and Jelly Bar, OK I know the jelly sounds weird. Its actually jam but the recipe is American and they call it jelly!




Pecan Shortbread..... mmmmmmm these are gorgeous!

Last but not least..... lemon muffins! These are so yummy. I'm a big lemon fan though. Oh and they have a little pocket of lemon curd in the middle too.....


Hungry?
