Butterflies!

I think there is nothing more lovely than a butterfly fluttering about on a warm sunny day.  Think the warm days are a long way off yet but today it has been really sunny here, so much better than the white stuff!

Lili's Little Fairies challenge is Butterflies:

The image is of course from Lili of the Valley and the papers are from the Nitwit Collection - Promises.  Image is coloured with Promarkers and the green card is from stock.

I know the card looks on the squint but I can assure you it isn't, its just my amazing camera skills!

Howzat!

Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping warm and cozy and not had much snow!  We snow all day Wednesday and by the evening it was quite deep but then it rained all night and by Thursday morning the snow had gone.  Lovely sunny day here and my little Roly is wanting to sit outside and sunbathe even though I tell him its just not warm enough!  Bless him, he loves his sun!

This card is not for any challenge, its for a friend of ours who is 50 today and he is mad on cricket!  We are off to his birthday party tonight so hopefully that should be fun!

The image is from Lili of the Valley and coloured in Promarkers.  The blue card is from stash and the sentiment is computer generated.  

Love Is In The Air

Good afternoon one and all, hope you are all well and keeping warm.  Hope all your snow has gone too.  We are supposed to be having some this afternoon and tomorrow but so far it is just raining and very cold.

It will soon be that time of the year again, yes it will be Valentines Day when we all get bombarded with cards and declarations of love, well some of us do anyway!  I wait every year for the postie to bring me sacks of cards and every year he disappoints me, think I may have to have words with him!

The following card I have done for four challenges:

The image is from Lili of the Valley and is coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.  The red card and roses are from stash.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 Cute Card Thursday : Love Struck

Lili's Little Fairies : A Touch Of Romance

Stamping With The Dragon : Love Is In The Air

Without Words : I Love To Love

Baby, Its Cold Outside

Which is the theme for this month's Without Words Challenge : Snow and we have had plenty of it here!  It started snowing on Monday, nearly gone by Tuesday then from Thursday evening it has snowed, only been the fine stuff but its covered and we have quite a bit of it now!  We needed this at Christmas not January when we are all thinking of Spring! 

So this is my offering for the Without Words Challenge.  The stamp used is from Wild Rose Studio.  The papers, gold card and ribbon are all from stash.

Keep warm and safe everyone!

New Beginnings

Hello everyone, hope you are all well and not suffering from the effects of the white stuff the UK is supposed to be having.  We have had no snow as yet, but it is forecast for tomorrow.  We'll wait and see!

At long last a card from me!  This is for the Joanna Sheen Challenge : New Beginnings.  So what is more a new beginning than a New Year!

The image and papers are from a Joanna Sheen CD called Victorian Christmas.  The green card and ribbon is from stash.  I have also used Stickles glitter for a bit of bling! 

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all, hope its a fab one!  Did you all have a good Christmas?  I hope Santa brought you lots of lovely things to play with. 

No card to show you at the moment, may be MIA for a little while.  We have been getting the little bedroom cleared of all the junk and stuff that is in there and boxes put back into the attic.  I want it turning back into the bedroom as it is supposed to be.  I'm due to have an op on my foot sometime this year so want to be able to go and sleep in there while my foot recovers.  We started New Year's Day and just finished it.  I ended up with loads of boxes in my room for me to sort out, just finished those today and now need to get the craft room back into some sort of order, I've got play stuff all over that needs putting away and just a general tidy and re-organisation!

So I am hoping to back in the swing of things very soon and visiting all your lovely blogs!
