A Special Thankyou

I made this thankyou easel card with post it note and pen for my Daughter's preschool teacher. Can't believe my little girl has only got three sessions left then big school in September.

She's the last of my babies and not four until the middle of August, it doesn't seem right, how time flies.

Anyway I absolutely love this card and the image which is of course by the fabulous Mo Manning and called "Sorry Shani" coloured her with copics, papers used are Trimcraft First Edition "Love Letters", EK Success borders Ribbon Trim and Diamond Scallop. Craftwork Cards sentiment.

How time flies

I can't believe it's over two weeks since I posted anything, I have been crafting honestly. Just to prove it here are some of my latest creations.

One of the lovely new Lili's



Sorry Shani - Just for You



Gone Fishing



Pilkington Lane



It's my birthday tomorrow so as I've not got any trips to the shows planned I'm making up for it and ordering lots of new goodies, will let you see what I get very soon.

In the meantime I've got to dash round with the mop and bucket then off for a girly lunch with youngest daughter, Mum and Auntie. I'm going to be a little fat piggy this week as I was out with an old school friend yesterday too.

Have a great day,

Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010

I'd just like to say hope everyone had a good Christmas and to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.

I am making a New Year's resolution to be a better blogger.

I bought myself some fab crafting stash with my Christmas pennies including some Copics so have been busy playing, although not easy with the children at home. Finding it hard to concentrate.

Anyway I've made this one with Mo's digital image "You're my Best" and I'm really pleased with it. The Gemstone and Whitewash Cardstock were from the sale at Craft Superstore and Glitterpot. Papers from DCWV stack and flowers from stash. Chalked and glittered them along with the edge of the nestie. The little charm came all the way from South Africa in some Christmas Goodies from a DT pal.

Happy New Year!

Totally Gorjuss DT Challenge - Free and Easy

Sorry folks should have posted this on Friday, completely forgot in the excitement of my parcel and out all day today at craft meet.

Anyway as it's such a busy time for everyone at the moment what with a certain word beginning with C and ending in mas we've decided to go with an easy challenge "Free and Easy" therefore you can submit whatever you like.

I chose this lovely image from Mo's Digital Pencil "Winter Delivery" coloured with Prisma's, the papers are DCWV and the flowers are from Quixotic and McGill pine leaves punch.

I used K&Co papers with an image from Mo's Digitial Pencil it's from the Collection Danni and Friends. This is actually one of the few that have been released by Mo as a clear stamp. Coloured it with Promarkers and cut it out with a Nellie Snellen die.

Added a few gems and a sentiment to finnish.
