Next Beatrix Potter Sneak Peak

Hiya Bloggers!
Hope you're all well??? I'm off to work again today, I'm being kept busy with some cruise training learning all about lovely posh Cruise liners.....getting very jealous looking at them, I love cruises!

Today I have another Beatrix Potter Sneak Peak. I'm loving these Cd's :)

I printed some of the gorgeous papers from the Jemima Puddle Duck CD, and an image sheet from Mrs Tiggy Winkle - the work well together. I used flower Cor'dinations card I embossed it & sanded it right down, jewels & sentiment are also Beatrix Potter, from Crafter's Companion.

I got in late last night & I forgot American Idol was on, I hope I remember tonight it's on, someone please remind me! LOL Enjoy your day & think of me slaving away over my desk drooling over very posh cabins & exotic itineraries LOL See you soon x x x x

New Sneak Peak

Morning!

How are you all today? The weather is looking brighter here in Newcastle today, it's funny isn't it, how much having some sunshine helps cheer you up when you wake up! It's just a shame I'm off to work 'til 9pm! Boooooooooo He He He.

I have another new SNEAK PEAK. Did you all enjoy the Crafter's Companion blog hop?? It's fun isn't it hopping around lots of blogs plus getting the chance to win some goodies!! I often get "distracted" when I visit blogs just look at this, oh no it's 2 hours later - oops!

For my card I printed the lilac flower & gingham flower paper from the Mrs Tiggy Winkle CD Rom, I also printed a decoupage frame, 3D'ed the image & added glitter to sparkle the image up. Ribbon & jewels are from Crafter's Companion & I've used Flower Cor'dinations card which I embossed with a flower embossing folder & sanded it, it's already pre-sanded but I like the look of it "really" sanded. Sentiment is from CC too, it's from 1 of the new sets of stamps to be released.

I hope you all enjoy your Thursday, I'll be rushing home tonight so I'm in in-time for Celebrity Juice - just gotta love Keith Lemon LOL!!! See you's later x x x

Paintbox Box Poppets Reddy Decoupage

Morning!
How are you all today? I hope all is well. I had a lovely lazy day off apart from my trip to the food shop, whilst I was out I picked up a copy of Breaking Dawn, I'm thinking I may have a slight obsession with Vampires, on Sunday i was watching True Blood & Being Human, yesterday morning Buffy & then last night Breaking Dawn.....HELP!! LOL

I got in from my shopping trip & popped on Crete & Craft & finally saw a full Crafter's Companion POTW show (no-one to cut my eleccy off yesterday) & was loving all the samples made with the CD & stamps but then when the Reddy Decoupage came on, I remembered I'd made a few cards with them. Now when I fist started card making I used o use the Fairie Poppets Decoupage & I stopped as I got too many cuts on my fingers from cutting all the tiny little bits out, but OMG I may have to buy a bucket load of these Reddy ones as they pop out a total dream!!


I tried to keep my card simple as the image is soooooo gorgeous, I printed a lovely pink floral paper from the CD, matted the decoupage onto the card with gold card & cut he sentiment with plain & scalloped nestabilities.

I hope you all have a great day today & do lots of lovely things you enjoy! See you soon x x x

Wooooo Hoooo Im Back & with my winner too!

Morning All
how are you all? I'm on a day off today & just getting ready to go shopping to Asda, don't you love days off....only another 5 days to go before I get another LOL

I have a new Paintbox Poppet card to show you today? Can you believe how quickly the POTW sold out?? Well I still have the winner of my CD Rom to announce so you may still be able to get your hands on 1!! I can't believe I missed the show, I had an electrician doing some work, I have a new kitchen fitted last May & they should've replaced my fuse box when they were here & they didn't (another thing to add to the long list they didn't do or do right) so he arrived on Friday, between 8am & 9am was his ETA, so at 10.40 he buzzed my door, declared the work would be a nightmare & the electric may be off longer than the advised 2hour period, oh yes just slightly longer......it got turned back on at 15.30!!! So I wasn't a happy bunny on Friday :(


For my card I have printed some Design Paper from the CD, Ive stamped the little boy of the steps in memento & colored with pens. The sentiment was stamped & cut the plain & scalloped circle with nestabilities. Ribbon is from my ribbon box - OMG I think I need a bigger box I love ribbons!

So without further a-do here is the winner of my Paintbox Poppets Cd-Rom:

As I was at work on Saturday, I missed my Saturday morning blog post to join in with Marcea's Music saves my Soul, so I will add my favourite song of this week!! It's from the FAB Ms Katy Perry.....I went to see her in ewcastle last yr & I was worried as fter seeing her "Live" on the X-Factor she wasn't too good but OMG the tour was AMAZING, she is one of my fave singers right now & I'm loving her new tune!!!

I'm off to finish getting ready as right now I'm gettin distracted by Mrs Brown's Boys OMG I think I've watched it 100 times I'm not bored of it yet LOL. I hope you all enjoy your Monday!! x x

Last SNEAK PEAK

Morning All!

I hope you're all well today. I'm on my day off so I'm good!! I'm starting my day with some laughs & I'm re-watching Celebrity Juice from a few weeks ago with Danny Dyer on, I think after te 1 with Ant & Dec this is my next fave!


For my Crafter's Companion SNEAK PEAK today I've used a gorgeous decoupage sheet.


When I first got into card makin I used to ALWAYS make cards with decoupage, then I discovered stamping & it was bye bye decoupage but when I saw this image I had to have a go. I think this little girl is really very cute!!!


I used kraft card & ribbon from my stash, I printed the decoupage from te Paintbox poppets CD Rom had a lovel time cutting it out, over the top layer of apples I added glossy accents & matted the sentiment onto matching paper & kraft card -cut with nesties.

Thanks for visiting me this week & leaving me some love, I will be announcing a winner tomorrow, so get commenting on all the DT blogs for your chance to win!!!!

Off to tidy up - my flat is a right mess :( then I'm going to try make some cards :D See you all soon x
