Miss Personality......

3D Box Calendar file- Lori Whitlock.

Morning everyone!!

Its time for another Facebook challenge on the Saturated Canary Stamps page and this time we will be showcasing the gorgeous 'Miss Personailty' image.

I have to say this is one of my favourite kinds of challenge because I get so excited to see how the same image can be used so differently by everyone and I just LOVE to nosey in on all those different styles, its just awesome to see.

I decided to treat myself to a little box calendar. I have always wanted to make one of these and saw Lori Whitlock's in the sil store and was on it like a hotcake!!!! How cute is it?!!! I love it!!

I added a couple of my fav flowers. I adore these Prima Powder puffs, they are just divine and soooo soft too, its like a snuggle and a flower all in one!! he he he!! but sooo cool for a bit of pop and pow too.

Everything you need for the calendar comes in the file and its just so easy and fun to put together. I had a total blast making this.

Right, off for a cuppa now, I have a few crafty bits to do today as Mo is in the loom band zone sat next to me so we are going to craft together!!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone, thank you so much for popping in on me

Morning peeps!

I hope you are all waking up to a wonderful wednesday. Its a super soggy one here so I am hoping it is going to brighten up for Armed Forces day. I live in a village near 2 airfield that planes take off for the Battle of Britain memorial flight and I don't want to miss it.

I am popping in today to share my make with the gorgeous new couple from Christy at Tiddly Inks, Shine Bright- Flapper couple. I just absolutely adore them, as soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to make a birthday card for Scott's Nanna with them, they are just so cute.

I went for vintage photograph tones for this one by using just 3 colours and my blender pen. I added a cute little Errol Flynn moustache to the guy!! I LOVE how they came out!!! I added some bling (...that I really really couldn't get a blooming photo of so had to resort to fully frontal light pointing mode on my camera!!!!!)

Here's a piccy of the whole card...

Aren't they just adorable?! 

Time for the school run! Thank you for popping in

Tutorial for sour cream container HERE.

Morning everyone!!

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend. I have! it was my birthday on sunday and we had a lovely relaxed day. I was brought crumpets with golden syrup on and a cup of tea in bed at 4:54am and we had a lovely womble around the car boot sale at 7:30am, got myself some stamps and little flowers from the crafty man that was there. We walked the dogs and then just chilled for the rest of the day, just lovely!

So onto my makey for the day! I had a lovely little bit of crafty time and wanted to make Mo a little something for back to school day so I went straight for one of my fav Tiddly Inks stamps sets, Mini and Many friends and made a sour cream container I could stuff full of little penny sweets.

These little sour cream containers are too much fun for those little scraps of paper you have left or even good old loo rolls! I stole ....borrowed Mo's little crimpy tooly thing to pinch the tops and bottoms with that lovely wriggly pattern. A little button from my stash of zillions with a teensy bit of twine through and a good splodge of twine to the top and it was finished. 

Thank you for popping in everyone. Have a wonderful monday, I will pop in on you when I wake up after work.

Summer wedding baby style!!!

Afternoon peeps!!

Its that time of month again for the funkette's to do our 'Forgotten Funkies' showcase!!! 

Today's showcase is centered all around the gorgeously funky and zingy 'Summer Wedding' download. Just look at these stunning papers, they really pack a summery punch and the matching alpha's are just gorgeous..... so they are most definitely too good to be forgotten!!!

I don't mind sharing with you all that this card nearly didn't get made. I lost my funk with some going's on yesterday but after a day with my gorgeous babies I felt crafty again and decided to go baby with my make! I got this super cute little baby dresser step card from the Silhouette store a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't resist using it with these papers, they were just right for a little bit of cuteness!! 

Don't forget to pop in on my gorgeous funkette teamie's over on the Get Funky and Craft blog!

And the reason for getting my happy back....these pickles...love them to bits...

aren't they gorgeous...though I may be biased of course.... ;)
