Button it @ MDUC

Hello, Hope you are enjoying the weekend so far.

This week at MDUC we want to see you use some

BUTTONS

I thought I'd be brave & treated myself to a couple of

"brighter" colour re-inkers this week,

This one is called "Seedless Preserve"

As usual I hand-dyed the ribbon and added a bit too much ink.

It took me 2 days to get rid of it off my hands LOL!

A close-up of the tag and the ribbon.

 I also used one of the new Joy craft "garden" dies and
heat-embossed it with frantage to add a bit of glamour.
xXx

Have a look at what my gorgeous teamies have come up with.

They're all stunning.

Pretty in Pink

Hi, It's time for a new challenge over at

Marvelous Magnolia,

and it's.....

PRETTY IN PINK

Long-term followers of my blog will know that once upon a time

 I would have flinched at the idea of pink,

but slowly it has crept in and it has been used a lot more often LOL

We have two great sponsors this week

Tilda With Watering Can

Good evening,

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend,

Don't forget we change the clocks tonight.

I have my DT card for MDUC to share,

This week there is a fab sketch to follow

I love this pretty Tilda, and I had to laugh at the amount of dies I have used,
Janice & Louise from Sir Stampalot said they can't believe how many dies I use on one card
& I think at 15 this one may hold the record  ~ So far LOL

Here's the sketch

 I hope you can join us

LOTV Wedding & some news

Good evening, 

I hope you are all well and not got tooooo much snow.

Mac had bike-ability at school today and we had to walk home in a small blizzard.

I have a wedding card to share tonight using one of the recent LOTV releases.

I just love their Wedding Stamps. 

I have made this card for my nephew, who is "hopefully" getting married on Saturday.

The wedding should've been in May, but his  future wife is expecting twins in July, and as we speak she is in hospital having bed rest! So hopefully she will be given the thumbs up for the weekend.

Alongside the LOTV image, Over the threshold, I have used some gorgeous new Noor! dies

Although they are "plants" I thought they looked perfect for sprigs of foliage in my bouquet.
I also love the cute little bunting, and have just added a bit of frantage to the edges.

I also have some AWESOME news to share.

The lovely girls from MDUC have asked me......yes; I said me! to join their fab DT

Well I can't tell you how happy I am.

Thanks for looking, and for your continued support.
I will try and put a little candy together as a thank you,

Happy Monday,

Easter Bunny

Happy Sunday,

Hope you are all good.

I know I've said it before, but I've really struggled with this card,

I'm not completely happy with the end product & I seem to be struggling with my mojo again.
I nearly didn't post this card !!!

I spent a good couple of hours colouring in Tilda with Rooster & ended up binning her. 

I think my card is a bit brighter than I'm used to, LOL

I'm going up to my craft room in a mo & having another go at that rooster, 

Wish me luck. LOL

Thanks for popping by.

Woof You xXx

Hiya, hope you are all well.

It's a miserable, wet day here in Spalding.

Darren & Mac are full of cold, and to top it off....

I woke up with a sore throat and cough, so we're a happy ole bunch LOL.

I've sent Darren off to the shops for some Medised for Mac, & 

it's like hunting for a needle in a haystack, nowhere seems to do it anymore!

On a cheerier note, I have an LOTV card to share.

Not much time for crafting so this was one for a recent magazine.

I have used :

LOTV ~ Woof You with Sentiment
