Brrrrrr

Its cold today. Really would just like to hibernate inside but am popping to Horley town with Mum, need a few bits from Lidls (dont laugh) some of their stuff is actually fine.

Couple of boy cards for today.... this cute dino is from Spiral Whisper and one of their new designs, cute but not too cute so he is ideal for boys cards. I have kept this really simple and not yet added any wording, I am just going to see what I need it for, most probably a card for one of Harveys school friends. The paper is the 99p pad from The Glitter Pot, the silver Zoomz are from Stamp Galaxy and stars are a star punch from Stampin' Up! (me)

This card is a real mix of stamps. The main image is Pink Gem Designs. The wording is Stampendous Clear set as are the small stars and the spaceship. The papers again are from the paper pad, I thought this had a spacey/planety look about it.

I dont know about you but I struggle to store some of my stamps. Like the stamps that come in a plastic bag that you have to tear to get the stamps out of, you have nowhere to put the stamps after. Well the other day I was sorting out stuff and I had a big box set of Thunderbirds videos that I was given, after putting them on freecycle at least twice I decided it was time to chuck. Only it suddenly dawned on my the video boxes would be fab and the storage boxes they were in were great too. So here are my boxes all labeled up. Some are empty, like the Magnolia Spring and Gorjuss design but I am pritty sure I will be getting both so I got them ready ;0)

Been colouring some more Leanne Ellis designs in last night so I might have a few cards to share later.

A lovely Christmas

We had a lovely fun day Christmas and Boxing Day. The boys got too much but had a blast. I got some lovely pressies too and I made a nice roast dinner ;0) I got 11 more promarkers from my Mum, would have been 12 but she couldnt find the other colour. I got Lost in Austin on DVD from my Mum which is great as I really enjoyed the series on TV. SLippers from both my Mum and Darren's parents so my feet are nice and warm. My drunken husband surprised me with coming home with a Kodak scanner, printer and copier and a £20 Marks voucher which I spent today on a fluffy pink dressing gown and a nice star necklace. So on Christmas Eve I was setting up my new printer Darren said "I hope it works I dropped it a few times" (told you he was drunk) LOL What is he like?? I am happy to say it did work.

Promarkers Used ; Meadow Green, Lime Green,Maroon, Apple, Lilac, Pastel Green, Dusky Pink

So I wanted to make a picture using my new colours and I also wanted to play with my cute Denny the Dragon stamp from www.pinkgemdesigns.blogspot.com . All but the watering can has been coloured with the new colours. I used the Stampin' Up! Saleabration stamps again, cant resist and remember order in Jan/Feb over £45 and you will get a FREE set (there are 4 to choose from).. I teamed the stamp up with the punches and made some fun and funky flowers. I used black Stazon to stamp onto the coloured acetate and a white pigment ink on the Rose Red card. The paper is a Daisy Bucket one from The Glitter Pot. I also used my trusty Scalloped Cirle Punch (this is one punch I WOULDNT be without) and a Craftwork cards pink cirle (thanks Jules x)

EVER HAD THAT FEELING WHEN YOUR 2 YEAR OLD IS QUIET?? ITS LIKE THE FEELING OF DREAD.... WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY UP TO.... then you get the whiff of Sudocream and realise its coming from behind the chair!

I was too cross to take a photo of his legs, t shirt, 2 cushions ect ect He was sent upstairs with Daddy (who incidentally left the cream in harms way) to the bath. and I was left to scrub the chair; I then went up and took over the bathing and sent Darren back down to scrub the sofa as I just havent got the muscle to scrub.

How many more days until they are back to school? DRAT Caiden doesnt even go yet!! LOL
