The Pink Elephant Challenge 129 - Anything Goes

Well I'm off to attempt to get something done - not sure what... card, scrapbook page, finish book, go on the Wii fit (but I'm putting it off cos I know it's going to shout at me cos I've not been on it for ages lol) or something else lol. Really want to just get into bed and pull the blind down and ignore the icky weather lol XOX 

Alphabet Challenge Blog DT - U for Up in the Air

Time still flying by, can you believe next week's challenge will be in April - how scary is that lol. But for now this week's challenge over at Alphabet Challenge Blog is Up in the Air yep we want to see projects that show anything that goes up in the air... birds.... butterflies... etc

For mine I had to use my superhero chickie stamp that was still waiting to be inked up - love those chickies they're just soooooooo cute lol. So OK chickies aren't normally found up in the air but this one is a superhero so he is lol. I also used stars which are also found up there lol.

I raised the chickie out on a piece of spiral wire so it bobs a bit, The star had a wood finish which didn't really stand out so I cos my copics out and love the effect it gave.

PS sorry things have been a bit mad and I'm a bit behind with my comments on the entries in the challenges - I am away this weekend so I will catch up when I get back XOX

Oh Bubbles...

Wishing whoever is stealing days out of my calendar would put them back - can't believe it's March already. Just a really quick post cos I've still got loads to get done (probably cos I spend more time making my lists than actually getting things done, lol. 

This is a leaving card for the one of the girls who used to work with Ian, the wording was from Ian, I think it was cos they think it's funny the way she says Bubbles. I've had these papers ages and hadn't got round to using them I came across them while having a tizz cos I couldn't find the papers I wanted lol. Some fab green ribbon to finish it off and contrast with the pink. 

Supplies: 'Bathtub Nikki' Stamp by Ladybug Crafts Ink, Papers by Funky Hand, Double Dot Card by Bo Bunny, Sugar-Coating by Doodlebug

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge...

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes (with added - Something Old)

Right off to try and get a few things crossed off my to-do list XOX

You're a STAR

Just a really quick post cos should have been in bed about an hour ago but know not going to get chance to post tomorrow. Had a good last bit of the weekend, went to Chester on Saturday (yay still on places I can spell lol) and then out for tea and bowling, then on Sunday we went to the Matthew Street Festival here in Liverpool, this is the first time I've actually been (how bad is that when I live here) but it was a really good day seeing all the different stages and acts, will definitely have to go again. Yesterday was a bit of a lazy day, which I think was needed after all the days of running round here there and everywhere, lazy morning and then went up to visit a couple of friends and ended up staying for a BBQ mmmmmmmm.

Anyways managed to get 2 cards done tonight, had wanted to get more done but my head has been feeling achy so didn't quite manage it lol. So anyway this is the first of tonight's cards. I LOVE this one but maybe I'm biased lol. A friend in work wanted a congratulations card making for her Granddaughter who's just passed her GCSEs, I really struggled to think what I could do with this as most of my celebratory stamps are romance themed, then I remembered my Lili of the Valley Stamp, it's actually a Christmas Stamp - he should be wearing a Christmas hat but I managed to stamp him without it and then filled in the gap. I think it works quite well and was a bit of quick problem solving there. I glittered the heart up after colouring too, not a proper card without glitter on it somewhere lol.

I would like to enter this card in this week's Papertake Weekly Challenge - Just the One, I have used one piece of patterned paper and one colour-scheme too!!!

Unfortunately they aren't brilliant photos as they don't show all the shading on the bear and the star - but it looks good in 'real-life' lol.

Supplies: 'Christmas Ted - Big Star' Stamp by Lili of the Valley, 'Love Spell' Papers by Doodlebug, Sugar-Coating by Doodlebug
Extras: White Card, Pink Ink Pad, Sparkley Ribbon

Right really am off to bed now, just realised this will be my last post in August, back on 2nd Sept with some more cards... XOX
