A New Challenge Over at Songbird

Good Morning Bloggers.
There is a new challenge starting today over at Songbird Challenges. The challenge has been sponsored by Cuddy Buddly who are giving away a £10 voucher to spend in their store. The theme is "Truly Scrumptious" so we would like to see your cards feature food/drink. There is some lovely work from the DT and it would be lovely to see you there. 

There is going to be quite a few photos to this post as I have an update on my gorgeous baby who is growing like the clappers now. 
I have use and image from Sassy Cheryl called Cupcake Fun. There are three digi's in this collection - a cupcake and Teddy, a cupcake and mouse and a cupcake on its own. 


The papers are from Nitwit Collections called eggs-tra special too


I thought outside to box with this cupcake and added white flower soft to the image which I coloured in parts with Copics before adding cake decorations and glitter. This gives it a bit more dimension than using just colour. 


The ribbon is from my local craft shop and the flowers and sentiments are from WOC

I am entering this card into the following challenges

In the Pink - Ribbons and Ruffles
The Cutie Pie Challenge - Lots of Layers
The Squirrel and the Fox - Furry Friends
Polka Doodles - Birthdays with bling
Make it Monday - Anything goes
Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything goes
Crafts 4 Eternity - 3 patterned papers

Here are two pics of my baby.



She is a little angel. Actually, she is a little angel most of the time. She is sulking at the moment cos she got a telling of for having an accident in the house 2 minutes after she has been out for half and hour. Don't think I will stay mad for long when she gives me one of her adorable looks. 

Have a lovely week. I will be blogging this evening for good old catch up. Welcome to my new followers, you are all very much appreciated and I feel honoured you like visiting.
Take care.

A New Challenge over at Diva's By Design

Good Morning Friends.
Hope you are all having a good week. Today sees a new challenge over at Diva's by Design.

The DT team have some fabulous cards for your inspiration and it would be lovely to see you there. 

The movie I have been inspired by for this challenge is PS I Love You. The card is for my daughter Sophie's 21st Birthday. Sophie has been asking me since she was about 6 years old if we could go and see Les Miserable in London. It may have taken a while but we have finally fulfilled one of her dreams. We are actually in London as this post goes live having seen Les Mis last night. I have no doubt that we will be on a real high and having a good old sing to reminisce and, driving Russ mad. Gosh I love love love this show. 

And here is my card. 


The image has been coloured with Copic Markers and Tilda has had Diamond Sparkles added to her blouse. 


The hearts are from a punch from my stash but the bow attached is part of a Memory Box Die.  The flowers, metal corner die and hat pin are from Wild Orchid Crafts


The ribbon is from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. 
I will get back to visiting your blogs as soon as I get back from London. I am not back at work for another week so I will have plenty of computer time. Yippee. I am going to have so much fun.

A Cutie Bestie

Good Morning blogger friends.

Happy Weekend to my blogging friends. Hope you are all well and enjoying some crafty time.
I unfortunately attended a funeral yesterday of a family friend whom I have known all my life. We used to have many a happy holiday together with him, his wife and their daughters and although under sad circumstances it was so nice to see  them and my cousins again all of whom we certainly don't see enough of. We reminisced of times gone by and through the sadness managed to have a lovely afternoon. Dad unfortunately could not attend as he is still very frail after his attack of Pancreatitus. He was not forgotten though as he was mentioned in the Eulogy. When I listened to the escapades of Hugh and Dad as young men and the days of  National Service I do somehow feel that  life for them was far better than it is now. They seemed so much more care free.

So, on to my card. I have another Sherry Baldy image to share with you today. At the moment she is nameless but is alive and well all the same and can be found here.  She is so cute. 


She has been coloured using Copics and has had a sprinkling of Diamond Sparkles to her wings. 


The papers are Bonnets and Bowties from Nitwits
The butterfly, bow and hearts are by Memory Box and are available from many on line stores. 


Whilst I am writing this blog I have my headphones in listening to Micheal Ball and Il Divo singing Love Changes Everything - Phenomenal voices, so much so it brings a tear (or could that be that it is mixed with a couple of glasses of wine)!!! I will add that I am writing this post at 10pm and not up drinking wine in the morning!!!

Welcome to my new blogging friends and for your lovely comments. I will be visiting very soon. 

I would like enter this card into the following challenges.

613 Avenue Create. - Anything Goes.
Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes

Sweet Stampin Challenge - Pastels

So on to my card.

I am feeling very sad as I have just found out that a very dear friend has terminal cancer.  I feel so helpless as I cannot go and see him or his wife, a very special friend of over 30 years and a wonderful person, as I am full of cold. 
Denise: my heart goes out to you both and your family and I am thinking of you and sending you so much love and hugs. You are all so very dear to me and life sometimes is just so cruel.

A New Challenge over at Diva's by Design

Good morning blogger friends.
Today see's a new challenge at Diva's by Design. We are being sponsored by Delicious Doodles and the theme for this challenge is Spring Colours. I guess Fairy Fae was a very popular choice because at the time of writing this post myself and my teamies have all used the same image. Tale a peek and hopefully be inspired to enter this challenge. 

Have you all had a wonderful relaxing Easter. I have loved having 4 days off though I have only managed to get into my craft room today. We have replaced our rotten fence this weekend so that Abbie can be let out into the garden. I must say she is loving it. She is growing at such an alarming rate - will post some pics very soon. 
So, on to my card. I must confess, this is the second image I have coloured because on the first I got that carried away colouring her gorgeous locks that I didn't notice I had coloured part of her skin as hair!!!
She was a joy to colour.


I have coloured the image with Copics and glittered the wings with Diamond Sparkles. 


The papers are from Nitwit Collections called Always and Forever. They are my newest crafty purchase and I love them - will be getting many an outing I would say. 


The butterfly border is called Butterflight by Tim Holtz. 
The flower die Bella Bouquet is by Memory Box and the flowers are from WOC.
