Lil Lad Eric

Good afternoon all.

Hope you are all enjoying this Sunday. It's really quiet here, just like an autumn afternoon when it's cold and the wind is blowing. Apart from the fact it's May you would be forgiven for thinking so lol. The boys are playing games, Phoebe is playing with Polly Pocket and I am doing housework and crafting.
Had a bad night with Phoebe as it looked like she was getting a nasty cold but she seems ok at the moment.



Wanted to share this card real quick. I made it for my son who is finishing A-level studies this summer and going to Uni. I am sure he will do really well. This is for the TICKLED PINK CHALLENGE where this week's theme is 3 pattern papers. Easy peasy!!! Used Lil Lad Eric as he reminds me a bit of my son (no, his glasses aren't red lol).

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

Good afternoon.

Well, it's time for another song for the Music Saves my Soul over on Marcea's blog - the link is in my sidebar. Why don't you pop over as she has a brilliant tune by Take That - mmmmmmm they are just so nice and I love their music.

My tune for this weekend is truely an oldie but I absolute loved this and still do. Go on - you all remember this one and please dance around the living room singing along.



Hugs, Mette

Tea Party

Good morning all.

Saturday and I am up with the birds. Phoebe decided that we would get up a 6AM so that's the end of my sleep-in lol. Gave me a chance to do a few things before the rest of the house got up. The boys both have a Saturday job and later on I will have to do my weekly food shop (hate it). It's grey and dull here in the UK. Nearly put on the central heating last night - I was freezing.



Here is a card made for MO'S DIGITAL CHALLENGE. This fabulously dressed "lady" is going to a Tea Party so what's better than to borrow mum's shoes, gloves and feather boa. Flowers and pearls have been added to make it more elegant and ...... it is the theme this week.

MATERIALS USED

Tea Party @ Digital Pencil Too
K & Co Classic K McKenna paper
Flowers
Self-adhesive pearls
Stickles (for boa)

Thank you for dropping by and hope you enjoy your day, Mette

Stardust (2)

Good morning all.

Well, still have James home poorly. Bot sure what's the matter but he looks "dreadful". At least he will have next week to get better - he can't afford time of school with exams coming up.
It has been a miserable week and I sure hope that next week will be better with schools closed.



I love the Simply Sassy Stamps designed by the talented Krista, she has her own blog HERE. Their huge big eyes tell their own story. Stardust is one of my favorite and she's such fun to colour. I went with non-traditional birthday colours and I really like the result. This card will naturally be entered into SUGAR BOWL CHALLENGE.

MATERIALS USED

Stardust @ Sugar Nellie
Papers from stash
felt border
ribbon
Flowers
Brads
TLC Sentiment

You Rock

Good morning all.

So far so good. The sun is shining (cross fingers it lasts), my daughter is going on a school trip and I have both my sons at home - 1 cos he's poorly, the other is doing revision for his final A-level exams. What am I doing???? In between taxi'ing children to and from school trip (luckily it's local), looking after Mr Poorly and being slave to Mr Study together with doing my general mummy-duties I am hoping to get a little more crafting done. Yeah, I'll be lucky lol.



I am not sure whether Mr Mojo has returned or whether it's because I have been sorting, moving, classifying and organising my digis but I am rather enjoying making cards again. This is my first card entering TIDDLY INK CHALLENGE and doesn't Carol have the most exquisite images. I love her illustrations. Yes, I know the challenge says Manly Men and this young guy isn't exactly that but I altered his stone to look like a spider. Why you may ask! Well, Phoebe's (5) brother (15) is forever moving spiders for her from the bathtub etc back into the garden. And in my opinion that's a very manly thing to do. So I made this card for Mr Poorly to cheer him up.

Daydream

Good afternoon all.

Well, the sun decided to make an appearance today although the wind is still rather kool. But it does mean I am able to get my washing dry and my house doesn't look like a laundret lol. Hope you all have had a lovely day.
I don't know about the rest of you but I love digital images as much a rubber stamps and have got a fair amount on my PC. The big problem is that I never seem to use them so have made a resolution to use some of my digis thoughout the week. Still sorting them into folders for easy access and to remember which stamps I actually have lol.



This card is for the challenge with POLLYCRAFT. They have a bingo theme this week and I choose to go with Lace, Gems and Tag. I used one I got last year and I think these are really sweet. Promarkers as medium again. My tag is handmade.

MATERIALS USED

A La Mode - What's Cooking

Good morning all.

Another monday and another weekend flown by. Hope you all enjoy it! My son was 15 on Saturday - gracios time flies so fast I can't keep up anymore. Both my boys are getting so big now - one's leave in October to start his own independent life and won't be long before the other one is gone. Not sure I am ready to let go lol. Well, still have the princess here and will be a while yet before she's leaving as she's only 5.
Raining here today so the perfect day for doing crafting and sorting out craft items.



For this card I have used one of the fabulous A La Mode stamps. Totally love these and will definately get a few more. They usually come with a few sentiments which makes them ideal. This one is called "What's Cooking" and I have used paper piercing on her trousers and Promarkers.
