All my favourite things!

Hello folks.....hope you're having a lovely weekend.

I've been lucky enough to have a long weekend, and I have to say its been fab! Its been full of all my favourite things....friends, food, crafting....and the odd glass of bubbles!! Wonderful! Becca and Lorna visted on Friday for a girlie sleepover (I haven't laughed that much in ages!!), Lorna had arrived at luchtime on the Friday and I greeted her with a homemade mini afternoon tea...yummy!! Yesterday afternoon was spent watching a cheesy rom-com and making myself a cute cushion. Last night Joe and I saw Aron and Alex...we drank, watched rubbish TV and even fought zombies!! Today I've been making cards....I'm currently up to my eye balls in pretty paper - bliss!!

There are also lots of my favourite things featuring in my favourite challenges this week!! Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge has a fab food and drink challenge, which I made this card for:

There is an awesome needles and pins challenge at Allsorts - as I've proved this weekend, I love a bit of sewing which inspired me to make this card....

Finally, there is a music and dance challenge over at Cute Card Thursday - you can beat a good boogie!!

Don't forget to pop by all the blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week!

Thanks for popping by,

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!

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!

Dancing Queen!

Hello everyone, hope you're having a good day.

Just a quick post for you this evening...I can't believe its nearly 11pm already!

This card is called Dancing Queen and I am entering it in two challenges....first off the theme came from this week's challenge over at Allsorts where we have been asked to create something inspired by a song title. I love a bit of Abba, and have been known to sing along (badly) at the top of my voice to "Dancing Queen" on more than one occasion...I therefore thought it was a brilliant title to inspire a card. Pop over to Allsorts to see all the lovely DT cards for more inspiration. I've used sheet music for "Dancing Queen" on the card, just so everyone knows my inspiration!

Cute Card Thursday's challenge is "make your own"...so no shop bought embellishments allowed! I've created my shoes and dress from paper in my stash...regular visitors will know that I love making things so this challenge was right up my street! For more handmade embellishments pop over to the Cute Card Thursday blog.

Right, I'm off....my bed is calling...there is something about the colder months of the year that just make me want to crawl into bed at every opportunity....maybe I should be hibernating!
