Ollie...

just thought I would share these pics of my fur baby...I dont often get him to sit long enough for me to snap him....lol...



he wouldnt look at the camera though....



almost got him there....

Got him...lol

he is just too cute for words....when he's not rumaging in my craft room.....lol...I love him to bits...he has been such company for me while I had to get to grips with my Mum going into the nursing home...I take him to see her from time to time...he get very excited with all the attention he gets from the other residents...but he does have a rival for their affections....the resident hairdresser has a Chihuahua....called....wait for it.....Gucci...ummm....lol....
Hope you all have a good week..

Better Late Than Never....

Hi guys..hope you're having a great weekend...I'm running late due to the fact I have the lurgy!! Ugh! I hate Colds they make me feel so lousy...I think I got this from my Mum when I visited her in the week she had the sniffles...oh well... I'm dosing myself up as I have to start a new Job tomorrow..its only Part Time..2  afternoons/evenings a week but it will be good to get out and about again...anyway..here is my JM dt card...this week its either Fathers Day...or Edwin....we dont see to much of the sweet boy..well not on my blog anyway...lol....I had to buy this one for the challenge....lol

He is coloured with Copics and pencils..the DP is Doodlebug (I think)....I do hope you all will join us this week..I look forward to seeing your creations......

Now... also there is a new challenge over at Lovely Hanglar Only & Sweet Tilda...we want you to use your favourite colours....here is mine...

Pink & Green....
Sweet Tilda is coloured with Copics and pencils....I'll have to get back to you with the make of the DP's I forgot to write it down..!!...I use a new Memory Box die..seam binding ribbon and loads of pearls and sparkle....

 I want to show you what my Fur Baby did yesterday in my craft room...when I work I hang a carrier bag on the drawer handle to put all my waste scraps in....darling Ollie has a 'thing' about carrier bags...and I left him in the room while I made a cup of tea...this is what I came back to......

the little darling had a lovely time ripping out the bottom of the bag and spreading the contents all over the floor.....grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Finally...I have been playing again with making 'grown up' cards...I'm trying to go in a different direction and make other than 'cute' cards.....what do you think?



It's a bit CAS ( I had to sit on my hands so I didnt over embellish it...lol)...but I quite like it...

Right I'm off now for a hot drink and a lie down....

Not My Usual Thing...


Hi Guys...well I been playing...I wanted to try something different so had a visit to The Craft Barn yesterday and bought Timmy's Tattered Flowers die..(plus others..ekk!)..some background stamps..Memory Box Buttons die..and all sorts of other things that don't usually jump in my basket..lol...

I used this size card for a change...the DP is Papermania Beautiful Pad...and it is..lovely subtle shades....I cut the petals out and then over stamped them with a script background stamp and distress ink...then distressed all the edges etc.,

Yes its different for me...I quite like it...but I need more practise I think for this kind of look...

I'll be back later with my JM DT card...

Hugs
