SALLY MEETS BELLA

Good afternoon crafters.

Well, it would seem that it's going to take a little longer to shift this flu. Still aching everywhere and my throat is so soar - definately not in the mood for crafting at the moment :(.

Had to take Phoebe down to the yearly carnival where everything is sooooo over-priced lol. We even have our own local Jack Sparrow (grrr - so not happy that Ben took my camera on holiday). I did spend a lot of pennies on silly rides and pennies but I think the main thing is that she had so much fun. It's definately one happy little girl singing "We will, we will rock you" behind me while doing a rock-chick show hehe.

Here is my little card for today - I just love Sally and she looks like she's having a lot of fun so will be entering this into Sassy Cheryl's "Summer Fun" challenge ....



Materials used:- Sally meets Bella from Sassy Cheryl - Papermania paper - Basic Grey fancy papers - buttons - Sentiment from TGF

Just time for me to thank everyone who drops by and hope you have a splendid day. Hugs, Mette

Good evening crafters!

Well, madness has arrived in the wake of my son and his girlfriend are here. My son bringing all his belongings so having to find room for him over the next 2 months.

Phoebe is finally getting better so she'll be back to school tomorrow. She's pretty happy about that as one of her best friends is having a birthday party tomorrow. Mind you - she got the biggest shock of her little life this evening when walking from the kitchen to the lounge. The biggest spider EVA came out from a hole in the wooden floor and Phoebe jumped a mile. Luckily James managed to catch it and it's now happily living outside somewhere. I am telling you guys - the biggest house spider I have EVA seen.

My card for this evening ......



Materials used: Callie kisses bluebird from Sassy Cheryl - Papermania card-stock - Echo Park dp - button - gems - twine - sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie "Lovely Lulu" set

Sassy Sally and the ladybug

Good morning all.

You know the times when you are rushed off your feet and trying to catch your own tail?? Well, having one of those weeks lol. And what happend to February? It went by so fast I almost missed it. I have heard that the older you get the faster time seems to go by - jeez, must be 1000 years old at the moment lol.

James is doing exam re-sits (he wasn't happy with the B he got lol) and yesterday he did a practise run of the dish he's cooking for (insert subject name here as I have forgotten) exam - Coq au vin - it was DE-LI-CI-OUS. This year is GCSE exams and he is doing A-levels after.

anyways, today's card is ...........

MATERIALS USED

Good morning all.

It's still mild here considering it's mid November but grey, dull and foggy. Hate it! I wish it'll be proper winter soon - yes, I know it's cold but atleast you can call it a season, this weather is just "can't really decide what season I wanna be".

Am still in the process of making a few more christams cards so this one is for SASSY CHERYL CHALLENGE ..............



........ and I love this little girl. She's so super cute all wrapped up for a play in the snow. But she still had to wear her pretty skirt - typical. I have used both dry and heat embossing.
I don't know about you but I keep remembering people I need to send a card to, soon i'll need a bank-loan to pay for the postage lol.

MATERIALS USED

Tiny Tabita digi from Sassy Cheryl
Cardstock
Memory Box "Tinsel" paper
Versamark
Stampendous emboss powder "DISCO BLACK"
Buttons
ribbon

Thank you for dropping by and hope you have a lovely day. Hugs, Mette

Sassy Cheryl + Friday Sketchers

Good morning all.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I spent mine with the kids and yesterday shopping. I absolutely don't like shopping - well, only for crafty stuff, then I can spend hours - but food shopping is not my idea of fun. But when I got back my 14 year old son had done the dishes, cleaned the work surfaces, the sink and the cooker. I tell you, I nearly fell over. Normally I have to shout at him because he doesn't tidy up after himself. And this morning he asked if there is anything I need him to do. I am sure he's not feeling well or perhaps he wants a huge favour lol.

Well, my little show for today is an easter card. I know it's still a little while away but better to be prepared. I wonder what she did with the easter bunny?? She does have a guilty look on her face lol. She has been coloured with Prisma pencils.

Bunny Chit Chat

Good morning Friday

Well, the sun is still here making everyone smile but I am still not over this darn flu. Feel as weak as a newborn chicken lol. Luclily Phoebe is better and she can breath easier which is a huge relief. Managed to do a little colouring yesterday and made one card for..............



SASSY CHERYL'S CHALLENGE. They would like to see fluffy furry friends and this one is just super. Isn't she just so cute chattering about who knows what with her bunny friends (lol - my daughter has an imaginary friend who, whenever Phoebe does something naughty, get the blame). I coloured the image using my Promarkers, the papers are scrap from my scrap box which I am trying to use up - with no luck at all.
Ribbon from stash and flowers are Prima. I used a ticket with a nice sentiment.

Sassy Cheryl - Snow

Good morning Thursday!
Not a very nice day again here in Derbyshire. It's quite cool and the sun has trouble getting through the clouds. Today is the 3rd day without Phoebe at home. It;s a little upsetting when she bursts into tears at school but I hope she will settle in soon. Her teacher tells me she's fine during the day which is a comfort.

This is another christmas card as christmas is rapidly approaching. I wanted to join in with Sassy Cheryl's challenge again this week which is Snow. Now Cheryl draws the most wonderful snowmen - they are funny and quirky but as I was looking thro her winter images I found this little girl. Isn't she just adorable? Haven't we all seen our kids dressed in too many clothes for a day in the snow. Her name is Tiny Tabitha and she's available HERE.
She has been coloured with Promarkers. The papers I found in the shop in Derby market. It's by GCD Studios and called Joyful Peace. It's beautiful colours, foiled, embossed and textured. Just gorgeous. I have used a feebie sentiment by TLC and the flowers are from my dear friend Linda :). I hope you like today card as much as I did making it.

Thank you so much for dropping by and have a lovely day, Mette

Trick or Treat

Good morning Thursday!!
What a miserable start. It's misty, grey and cold this morning. Have been spoiled with 3 days of sun lol. Yesterday was really busy. Had to go to Derby to get school equipment for my boys and I found a little craft shop in the indoor market. Lol - it's been there for 2 years and I never knew but I shall be making more frequent trips to Derby from now. Normally I hate shopping lol. Wasn't able to spend a long time in the shop as the boys were going "Come on Mum - this is boring"!!!
Well, today's card is for Halloween. In Denmark we never celebrate halloween although my mum has told me that it's started thanks to US movies hehe. This image is by Sassy Cheryl and called Witches Broom - isn't she super?? You can get her and others HERE. She has been coloured with Promarkers, the papers are from Bo Bunny. Flowers are from Prima and the sentiments is done on my PC. This card will be entered into Sassy Cheryl's Challenge which this week is Halloween/Autumn.
Did this little witch scare you??? Who am I kidding - of course not lol.

Thank you for dropping by and enjoy your day, Mette

Sassy Cheryl Challenge - A sketch

There are so many talented illustrators who are making their work available to us crafters and Sassy Cheryl is one of my favorites. Her drawings are funny and quirky and I like that. She also has a challenge blog which runs every Tuesday with a fabulous price. The challenge this week is a super sketch and I have used this super bear. I think he was a freebie available only to her PCP members. Isn't he super! I have coloured him with my Prisma pencils and blender.
