Crafty Sentiments Designs - Clean and Simple

Morning all, its me! Well I have been so busy with trying to catch up with 101 things, I cant wait to sit down and take it easy... maybe in the year dot that will happen!  I have to say I am loving being so busy though, at least I know that I wont get bored! 

Ok so im here with this weeks challenge over at Crafty Sentiment Designs, I would firstly like to thank everyone that joined in with last weeks challenge, some beautiful entries and well done to out winner, pop over to the CDS Challenge blog to see if it was you!  So onto this weeks challenge, this week it was one of those themes that I can do when I don't need too

Clean and Simple

and you could be in with the chance of winning three digis from the store

Now I struggle with that as at the moment I'm loving my butterflies and flowers on cards, I cant help myself! So this was a right challenge! 

I have used the lovely Annabel Party Girl  available for pre order from CSD Shop  - she is just so cute, I know this isn't one of my best cards but C&S isnt my spot right now! 

The image was coloured using copics and I embossed the back of the card using a cuttlebug embossing folder.  I added some stickles to add a bit of shine and the ribbon is from my stash! 

Well I hope you will pop to the CSD Challenge Blog and take a look at the wonderful creations from the DT! Hope to see you again soon!

My Mums Craft Shop - Ice Cream Flavours!

Morning all! Well what a busy few days - trying to catch up with DT stuff as well as catch up with friends and family - feel like I haven't stopped - and I don't think I'm going to for a while!  The holiday now seems like it was a lifetime ago, and the summer holidays are filling fast with parties and little bits and bobs!! Got busy times ahead and can't wait is all I can say! 

Anyway back to why I'm here! Firstly thank you to everyone that joined in last week - remember to pop over to the MMCS Blog to see if you are a winner, now cause of getting back off the holiday I didn't get much time to comment but I hope to find some time to get about and see all the entries!!! 

Onto this weeks challenge.... over at My Mums Craft shop were looking for your creations using.... 

Ice Cream Flavours

Our sponsor is 

My Mums Craft Shop is sponsoring this challenge and is offering the winner a £10 voucher to spend in store! 

OK, so for this challenge I had to first indulge in my all time favourite Ice Cream... the one and only 

Oh yes... after all the work I have had done on my teeth I can finally enjoy a bit of Ice Cream.  Now as you may very well understand that I had to eat the whole tub to really see the colours in the tub (Thats what I told hubby!)... and one tub was not enough, but I think it really helped with the end result! 

I have used the beautiful Sarah Kay First Kiss available here.  I so can't wait to get some more Sarah Kay stamps - I am so in love with them at the moment!

So do you see the cookie dough?? I hope you do - my hips have had to suffer for this LOL!!! As I said I'm quite impressed with how it turned out! Sorry for the pants photos - hubby has left the 'long lens' on the camera and I have no idea how to change it! The papers are from my stash, one is Bo Bunny Weekend Market available here - never used this paper stash till now! 

The image was coloured with copics

E50, E51, E53, E55 and E57

I decided that a monochromatic theme was best! I can't wait to colour this image up again! So lovely - all of Sarah Kay stamps are lovely! The sentiment is from a clear set I have with no labels on them... so no idea as to what company make them, but the sayings in the set are lovely!

I know you don't find them in Ice Cream... but I had to add some butterflies! This is the wonderful Martha Stewart 3 in 1 Punch - Butterfly available here, I am so in love with it at the moment! 

Well I hope I have inspired you to join us this week over at My Mums Craft Shop Challenges.  I can't wait to see what flavours everyone else come up with - remember to pop to the MMCS Blog and see the DT's amazing creations!

Friends are Angels....

Me again! Yes I know, I have been on a mission, need to make the most of the kids being outside while the nice weather lasts, I wish it would last for the whole 6 weeks... Don't know what I'm going to do when it starts pouring! Anyway since I have been home I have managed to make a card... and I'm in the process of the second one! I missed my pens so much, it was lovely to get home and now since I have moved a lot of my stuff into the lounge I hope to craft more!!!

Now I apologise for the poor photo - only just managed to wipe all the photos from the camera and the light is not on my side to be taking photos at the moment! But this is the beautiful Fancy from Saturated Canary

She is so stunning and so wonderful to colour, the image was coloured with copics

Skin; E000, E00, E02, R20, R83

Hair, E55, E57, E59

Dress and Ribbon;  BG49, BG57, BG18 with a touch of Black Prisma Pencil 

Roses; R20, R22

The sentiment is from a clear set of stamps that seem to no longer have a packet and the flourish is cut from a Memory Box die, as it was cut from white paper I coloured it using my BG57 to tie it all in.  The papers are from my stash, I'm not sure what ones as they were loose! Well not bad to say I haven't touched pens for over a week - I can't wait to colour her again! Well I hope you like my card, I would like to enter this into the following challenges; 

ATC's and Cards with Attitude - Anything Goes 

Classy Cards and Such - Die Cuts (Down the side of the image)

Fat Pages and Cards with Attitude - Anything Goes

Inspire Me Fridays - Anything Goes

Do You Stack Up - For A Friend (the sentiment says 'friends are angels without wings)

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon!

The Catch Up!

Morning all - well it has taken me this long to try and get myself back to reality - swear I need a holiday to recover from the last one! Well this is going to be a quick post with a few photos! Thought I would share with you some of the amazing time we had.... 

Nancy loved the shower by the pool... I have no idea why... it was blooming cold! 

Amelia LOVED the pool - every morning she couldn't wait to get in there! 

... yes... thats and Amelia splash... no fear!

I have to say this was the highlight of the holiday... we (Amelia and I) got to touch dolphins... I still want to swim with them but just being able to touch and listen to them was amazing. 

We also got to watch the dolphin show... what amazing mammals these are - I can't wait to go back and see them again maybe next year!

Just the few photos sum up the whole holiday, I loved every minuet of it and hope one day we will do it again.  When we got home we had another new arrival to the family... we have some caterpillars that I brought for the girls to pass the summer... I will be back in a few days with some photos and news on them.. I can't wait to see them turn into butterflies! Well I have some bits to do... and A card to share really soon... I'm off to catch up
