Bags of fun!

Hello everyone! Hope you're all keeping well!

I'm just back from the cinema, I went and saw the King's Speech this evening and I have to say it was a wonderful film. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it that much, but it really worked it's magic on me! I've also managed to finish off a card that I am rather proud of......

This pretty easel card is perfect for several different challenges that I've come across:

The Creative Card Challenge - a shaped card

Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Bingo! I've chosen Buttons, Flowers and Glitter

Paper Sundaes - Birthday challenge - I've chosen an easel card

Don't forget to pop over to all the blogs mentioned above to see all the gorgeous DT cards!

I've got some lovely plans for this weekend....on Saturday evening we're seeing Rick Astley! Yes, that 80s pop icon is paying a visit to little old Kingston! I hope you've all got fab plans too!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, hope you see you again soon!

New Years Resolutions

Hello there, good to see you!

So its the beginning of another year (anyone know where the last one went?!?) and its that time when we all think about the new year and what we want to achieve. Last year I wanted to believe in myself more and to do all those things that I never make time for...how did I do?? Well, I've thrown myself into my crafting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love showing off my creations and was so pleased to be awarded the blog award last week! I haven't really done all those things I never make time for....I'm always too busy crafting.....So, I've decided to roll that one onto this year!

I've also decided to do one thing that makes me smile everyday....it can be anything as long as it brings a smile to my face! For example dancing...I love to dance...I'm not very good at it (and seem to get worse with age), but when you're bopping in the living room who cares! So, I'm going to smile my way through 2011...dancing and singing to my heart's content (poor Joe!)....and eating chocolate....and hopefully discovering some new things that make me smile too!

My card for you today is for several challenges....Creative Crafts asked for a card that features a new year's resolution and Sweet Stampin asked to see our favourite song...this card sums up both of these things....

I love "Dancing Queen" and as my sister loves to remind me until quite recently I thought the lyrics were "you can die having the time of your life"....I still sing "die" instead of "jive"...it makes perfect sense to me!!

I'd also like to enter this in the Papertake  Weekly challenge this week where they have an anything goes theme!

Check out all the fab DT work on these blogs for some gorgeous cards!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thank you!

Morning All, I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was lovely...in fact this is the first time that I've stopped to do any crafting since before Christmas!!

I've created a thank you card today which is for several challenges. I really got spoilt over Christmas and had such a lovely time that I thought a thank you card would be a very appropriate card to post today!

I've kept it very simple with this card as you can see! These cute little cats are a new stamp that I've treated myself to...I thought they looked too sweet to be left in the shop! I can also see that they will be perfect for all sorts of cards!

This card is for the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Thank you

Crafts & Me - Anything goes

Creative Crafts - Anything goes

As you can see there are a couple of new challenge blogs there that I haven't entered before...I found them while blog hopping earlier and decided to give them a go! Pop over to all the blogs to see some fab DT projects!

Finally, I've got a photo of the huge tree that we've got at Joe's flat (which has now been called Beefy!). Not sure why I couldn't upload it before...but here it is! This photo is better than the previous one because it also has a selection of my favourite people in it! This is Jim, Joe, Becca (and her new Uggs), Anika and Lorna....Sheree and Graham are missing because they had to go home early!!

Right, I better get going....I'm going into London with my sister for afternoon tea....this is part of her Christmas pressie and I'm really looking forward to it!

Thanks for stopping by today, see you soon.
