Boo!!

Just wanted to pop a quick post on - to say I'm still alive - just my mojo disappeared for while - but I think its coming back now - so will hopefully be popping some cards on the blog in the next couple of days!!

Also, wanted to wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN , and hope you are all having a spooky night - dont eat toooooo many sweets (I will be helping the kids out with theirs - don't want to rot their teeth!!)

Here is a pic of this years pumpkins, I want to say thank you to Blueberry Heart - who inspired the drunken pumpkin, that I spotted on her blog last year and as soon as my eldest saw - he loved, thought it was brilliant.




Have a great night xx

Anything goes.

Good Evening, hope you are all well. It's been rather chilly here today but still lovely and sunny so made the most and washed some windows and weeded the garden - phew! dont know whats come over me.

Still not done much crafting but have had this photo stored on my pooter for a couple of weeks and not blogged it so will blog it now as I can also enter it into the Anything Goes challenge at the Cards for Men challenge blog:



This was the anniversary card I made for my Hubby - the image was kindly sent to me by one of the lovely ladies over at MSE, the backing paper is Basic Grey, card candy from Craftwork cards and the tickets were a freebie from Caz's blog.

Thanks for looking xx

Things that go bump.....

Helloooo, ooh feels like ages since I've blogged something!! Haven't really known what to make since I have more birthday cards made than Clintons and not getting into the christmas swing yet... apart from the 1 -2christmas cards I have made - will really need to start getting a wiggle on there. But I saw the title of a challenge over at Loopy Lindseys - and new I had the perfect image, I've had it coloured in for ages but then not really known what to do with it - even now I've made the card I'm not sure when I will use it - hmmm - maybe next halloween for the boys. Anyway, here is the card:



The image is a Dustin Pike freebie, coloured with pro-markers, I have cut out the under the bed bit and matted it onto black card. The purple paper was a freebie in one of the card magazines (this is the first time I have ever used any of the free papers but it was a nice matt one) and then just stuck gold stars on that I saved from when I used my Martha Stewart star punch on a previous card.

Hope this is ok for the Fab n Funky - Things that go bump challenge.
Crafty Cardmakers - use a freebie ( I have used 2)
Ooh La La - Scary
Spoon full of sugar - Boo

Halloween card for my eldest & a cupcake card.

Hi all, just a quick post tonight before an early bath so we can get cosy to watch The Middle on Sky 1 - have you seen it??? We find it sooo funny.

Thought I had better get my finger out and make another halloween card and diaper fold pouch to put some sweets in for my eldest - the youngest is sorted - except we need to refresh the sweets - erm don't know who ate them - cough!!


Sorry for the terrible photo - it was a bit of a nightmare to take - I have die cut a circle out and then restuck it onto the inside -the spider and vampire diecuts are MME as is the paper - I have some new stickles that I have put around the die cut circle - but they havent shown up too well in the photo. Hope you get an idea of how it looks.

I would like to enter this into craftfairies - die cut/Halloween challenge.

Lastly this is a card I made for my next door neighbour to say thank you for making my youngests birthday cake:


I have used the Magnolia cupcake stamp coloured with promarkers and also popped little beads on the top and also coloured the lovely chef in promarkers. The paper was in my stash I think sent from Sarah aka Rainmac and then put organza ribbon at the side.

I hope it is ok to enter this into the fab n funky challenge - yummy, yummy, yummy.

Thanks for looking xx.

Evening all, hope you are all ok on this chilly evening - brr!! The lovely Sarah over at Rainmacs place (check out her lovely blog and candy!) is a dt over at Cards for Men and I saw the challenge on her blog and decided to make a card for it (plus it is handy to have a mans card at the ready as I found out the other day when it was my boss's birthday and I had no idea until the day!!). So here is the card:

The image is one of my new stamps that I got from Little Claires at the Harrogate fair. I have paper pieced the hammock (ooh get me!) and coloured him with promarkers and added glossy accents to the pint. The papers are SU (again!) I am LOVING these papers. Now then, the only thing I 'm not sure about is the Brad - could I have your honest opinions please.

So I would like to enter it into the cards for men challenge - Happy Birthday.
and Ooh La La - Nothing floral
