Simon Says … Mother’s Day/Special Girl

Good morning, gee what a busy week for cards this week!!! So here I am with my DT card for Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog, the weeks just seem to be flying by!!!!!!

Our theme this week is to make a card for Mother’s Day or a special girl. So something girly will be perfect!

I am slightly addicted to Bo Bunny papers at the moment, they are just so scrummy. Love these pretty girly papers so much!

..... also ever so slightly addicted to C.C. Designs too but who can blame me.

Oooh, I almost forgot .... new addiction ..... chalk inks! Watch out as my collection grows you will see a lot more of these ..... just a little smidge around the edge of my sentiment today but I think they will be everywhere in a couple of weeks lol.

As always our gorgeous Heidi has a brilliant $50 gift voucher for you to spend at Simon Says Stamp Online Store if you are the lucky winner.

I used a new product this time that I have never tried before – I used the blue gelatos by Faber-Castell for the sky. OMG ….. how easy!!! Can’t wait til I actually know how to use them properly lol, easy way to do sky though so I am happy!

Here are the products I used for my card ….. click pics for more details ……

Magnolia stamps for sale....

If you are wanting a bargain then head over to my eBay page HERE ...... I have relisted 49 Magnolia stamps after a mix up with eBay and Magnolia. 

Well, what a carry on I have had with eBay and Magnolia the past few days. All my listings were removed a few hours before they were due to finish on Sunday and I have lost all my bidders. Anyway, several emails later it has all been sorted. The original email I had was that Magnolia thought I was selling images (????) and then it turned out they wanted me to only post a picture of the stamp and not showing what it looks like stamped out.

Sooooo, my stamps are now back up for sale. I am hoping eBay will contact all my old bidders to let them know I have done nothing wrong after all. I was so worried but it has all turned out fine in the end .....x

Thanks so much to Sara at Crafter’s Companion for giving all the DT a copy to give away. There is a full list of the DT on the post below this if you want to enter their candy giveaway too.

Here is my card for today. I think most of us who have had little boys can see their son in this image – I spent many a weekend on the side lines of the pitch in the freezing cold! As usual coloured with my Spectrum Noirs on Neenah card.

The papers are all from the CD-Rom as are the elements. I put loads of glossy accents on the buckle and it looks so realistic in real life. The button is also printed and just popped in my Epiphany tool to create this lovely embellie.

Morning world, how are you all today ...... woohoo, it's the weekend again at last and I am off!!!! Even better so is my hubby so hopefully we will have a great night out tonight.

I am on time again (sort of) for another Music Saves My Soul ...... at least it is still Saturday morning. I am so sorry at how eratic I am at posting MSMS but at least I am here lol.

And so it was such an easy choice.because of a rather handsome guy's birthday yesterday ...... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON BON JOVI!!!!!! What a delight of male gorgeousness he is, mmmmmm yum!

He is also the man that made me realise there was such a thing as Playgirl .....rofl, my friends big sister bought a copy back in the 80s when he did his photo shoot ooooh, naughty maughty rofl.

There are so many great songs but thought I would go with this one - almost chose one of the many fabulous ballads  he did but this one wonin the end ....just.

I hope you can all play along this week. Just post your song on your blog then link your post to the blue froggy below.

Have a great weekend xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Crafter’s Companion Monthly Challenge: Spring

Hello, well I have finally finished my set of nights and can now look forward to a whopping 11 days off work. I can’t wait. I have lots of crafting to get done including samples for some fabulous new things coming up from Crafter’s Companion.

I can hardly believe we are in March already. Where is this year going!!!! It does meanthat it is time for a brand new theme on Crafter’s Companion Challenge Blog. This month it is…

SPRING

I have coloured cute little Souffle ‘Say it with flowers’  with my Spectrum Noir pens on Neenah card. This is one of the cards I made for the fabulous Spectrum Noir DVD that Leann made – it is a brilliant source of advice and tips for users of these pens.

I love how easily these pens blend and the fine nibs are great for drawing in grass! It sure feels like Spring is just around the corner!

The pretty papers were from a Popcorn CD-Rom, love being able to just print out my papers whenever I need them.

So there you have it….. make sure you take part for a chance to win £30 voucher to spend online at Crafter’s Companion. Don’t forget that this month you can also visit the Crafter’s Companion bunch and top up your supplies at both Harrogate and the NEC …… love all these craft shows.

Challenges:

Cute Card Thursday – Signs of Spring

Crafts 4 Eternity – Social Media (Twitter)

Have a really lovely day xxx
