Can you see a Rainbow?

No you can't?? Well pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog this week and you'll see plenty of rainbows! Our challenge this week is "Rainbows"...your project can feature an actual rainbow or rainbow colours. Pop by the challenge blog and my fellow DT's blogs for some inspiration.

Our lovely sponsor this week is Tiffany Doodles who has provided the DT with some fab images to play with.

Here is my card:


I love this get well sentiment, but have never thought about using a rainbow with it before...not sure why as it makes so much sense!! Hopefully this little card will brighten someone's day when they're feeling a little blue!

So, what are you waiting for?? Show us your rainbows!!

Thanks for popping by today and I look forward to seeing your creations this week!

Christmas in August!

Hello campers, Happy Friday!

Well, this time last year I had made quite a few Christmas cards already, but I think I made a few too many and this year I decided to keep Christmas until later in the year. Well, apparently now it is later in the year and there are loads of Christmas challenges out there in Blog Land for me to pick from! However, I decided to keep it simple and enter just one challenge.....I went for the Simon Says Stamp "Christmas in August" challenge.

Although I've moved most of my craft stash over to my new flat, on starting this challenge card I realised that I've left most of my Christmas stash at mum's! So this card is a little limited....I have some stamps, but not much Christmas backing paper here!


I love this sentiment stamp, I think its very cute. I bought this with several others in the sales last Christmas! I've coloured my Christmas tree with my Promarkers and added a little sparkle with my stickles. Not much to say about the papers though!

Thanks for popping by today, hope to see you tomorrow for a new Sweet Stampin challenge!

Best Fishes!

Evening All,

I hope you're all having a fab week! I just spent the last 24 hours with Becca in Brighton....we had a fab time despite the weather today! We wandered around the lanes and I bought another 60s dress....we paddled in the sea (well I did...Becca's convinced a shark will eat her if she gets in the sea) and we had a fantastic night out.

This is the view from our hotel window....first shot is Wednesday afternoon, second shot is Thursday morning...can you spot the difference??


So, another week has flown by....I can't believe I've only got one day left of my week off!! The good news is that we have a new sketch to play with at Sweet Sketch Wednesday! Arlana has created a lovely sketch this week....


I've tried a different colour scheme again today and I have to say that I love this blue and organge combo - its bright and fresh and makes me smile! My little fishes have been coloured with my Promarkers and I've added a little sparkle with my stickles. I'm also entering this in the "hugs and kisses" challenge this week over at Passion for Promarkers. I hope the lovely Promarkers ladies will be ok with my image...its the closest thing to a hug or a kiss that I have in my image collection!

Pop over to both blogs to see some fab DT cards!

Now I mentioned above that we had a fab night out last night, well thats because we were in a bar listening to some live music...which was cool enough on its own, but then all these people started dancing and someone asked if I'd like to give it a go.....so I did...and I'm glad I did because it was soooo much fun!

Thanks for popping by today!

Best foot forward!

Hello crafters,

so the Creative Card Crew have a fun challenge at the moment, its called "best foot forward"....and our projects can include either shoes or feet! Being the girlie kinda crafter that I am I opted for a shoes theme!


Cute sentiment, don't you think?! I'll also enter this card in the "anything goes" challenge over at Allsorts this week.

Talking of shopping, I forgot to tell you about my fab weekend on my last post. My sister and I went to the Vintage Festival at Southbank in London. We spent the morning wandering around the fab stalls, looking at everyone in their amazing outfits and buying a few bits and pieces. I wore a fab green and yellow 1960s dress that I bought recently and I managed to buy a new hat while I was there! Here is Lorna and me in our new hats!

This is a fab photo that Lorna took off me just outside the fair...

It wasn't until we got home and looked at the photo properly that we realised that it looks like the man at the end is about to slap my bottom!

Thanks for popping by today,

Something a little bit different

Hello campers, hope you're all well today! Well, I've had such a busy weekend that I didn't get the chance to post over the weekend! I'm on annual leave this week, hence my afternoon post! I'm just pottering this week and I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

Today I have something a little bit different for you.....I've taken a look at my last couple of posts and my blog is rather pink and girlie at the moment! So, today I sat at my craft desk and decided to make a blue boys card! Shock Horror!


Tee hee....isn't he a cheeky monkey and perfect for a little boy birthday card? I've coloured my cheeky monkey image with my Promarkers. I've included a number on my card for the "how old?" challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week and the blue monochrome colour scheme is for the "monochromatic" challenge at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge this week.

I'd also like to enter this card at the last week of "free and easy" challenge over at Allsorts and the "whatever you fancy" challenge over at Stampalot Challenge this month. For some inspiration for any of these challenges pop by the blogs mentioned above and check out the gorgeous DT cards.

Don't forget our Christmas in July challenge over at Sweet Stampin this week, check out Team Fi's gorgeous DT cards! You've got until Saturday to enter!

Thanks for popping by today, I love reading all your lovely comments.
