Hey all.

Feeling incredible tired today - can't put my finger on it but maybe a few last nights throws my system out of sync. I usually go to bed at 10 PM - any laster than that and I am tired. If it happens several night well ......... not good. And won't get an early night tonight, gonna stay up to wait for Ben returning from Greece.



My card is for Tiddly Ink Challenge. This week they want to see a little attitude. I could just have posted a phone of my own Little Miss Attitude here but that would have been too much lol. Instead used one of the sweet images Christy has in her shop - love them all :).

Good morning all.

Well, it's a grey day here in Derbyshire but atleast it's not raining. Not long till school finishes for the summer but the kids have a few inset days and on the 30th the National Union for Teachers have voted to strike so the boys won't be at school. Not sure about Phoebe's school yet - they'll let us know.

Today is my weekly online food shopping day. I love having it delivered to my door and I don't have to go myself. The store saves all my purchases so all I have to do is click my usual food and a few add-ons. Simple, easy and painless.



I am again joining in the TIDDLY INK CHALLENGE. This week it's sugar and spice with a twist = something funny or sarcastic. No need for me to tell that I love Christy's images and this lady was just perfect for my sentiment. And yes - more paper piecing lol, used a little kraft (I am so running low on that), a ribbon and done. Eventhough the image isn't coloured I think it looks quite good.
Christine can be purchased HERE.
The sentiment says "Who says I am not in shape? Round is a shape, isn't it?

Thank you for dropping by and enjoy your day. Hugs, Mette

Party Time

Good afternoon all.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend relaxing and spending time with loved ones. Today is Father's Day and happy wishes to all fathers out there :).

Well, I have not posted anything for a few days. Been busy with housework, cooking and spending time with my kids. Phoebe and I made pizza dough yesterday and then we all had fun putting our favorite toppings on - mmmmm. This is definately not the last time we do that and I think it will become a weekly favorite with all my kids. Might move on to muffins next and other home-baked things.

Yesterday Ben was looking after a friends 2 young Cavalier Spaniels - they are just gorgeous and we went several time to play with them. However, Phoebe had a bad experience as a toddler so she is anxious around dogs (although she does want her own). There dogs are rather playful so Phoebe stayed on the other side of the gate :).



So onto my card for today - it's a little late as I ran out of ink for my printer and had to wait for the new cartridge. This week at Tiddly Ink the challenge is "One Layer". Normally I use lots of layers but I still had fun doing this and I must admit I love the simple and clean look (so expect more in the future).
I coloured PARTY TIME with my Promarkers and added a border and sentiment. Hope you like it.

Thank you for dropping by and enjoy your day. Hugs, Mette

Awww Thanks

Good morning all.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Yesterday was a complete wash-out here and it rained non-stop. I know we needed rain but I did start contemplating building an arc - just in case you see :). The kids and I just had a lazy day - Phoebe and I did colouring and played some board game while the boys were shooting monsters and other fictional characters. However, I did insist they both did a few hours revision for upcoming exams.

While visiting my favorite blogs (I do have a lot that I like to visit for inspiration and don't always leave a comment) I came across THIS fabulous SMASH! book over on Inge Groot's blog and I can only share her sentiment I WANT ONE. So if anyone knows where they are available in the UK I would love to know.



I made this card for TIDDLY INK CHALLENGE and they are asking for Goth, create a dark fun card. I am not sure if this card qualify but as I am used to working with bright colours this is very dark for me. This sweet image was sent to me by the talented and generous Christy Croll, who was rewarding her fans with a free image. I jumped at the chance as I just love them. I used the fabulous sketch from Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge and my Promarkers

Good evening all.

Oh Wow - have we had a fabulous day or what!!! Sunny, no clouds, hot temperature and just glorious. Phoebe and I went to Matlock on the train with a friend and her 2 kids. Had a lovely time in the paddling pool and play area and after we had a picnic on the grass. It was brilliant just to relax and watch the kids have a great time. After yesterday I definately needed that. A "white-van" drive hit the back-end of my car, which was parked outside my house, and just drove off without telling me. Came out later in the day to discover the damage. Not sure if the car is drivable at all now so will need someone to check it out. I might even have to scrap the car :(. So I am NOT a happy bunny.



Anyway, on to my card for today which is another image from Tiddly Inks. As I said before I love them and have so much fun creating with them. This week the TIDDLY INK challenge is "Darling Divas". Now I wish I could have use Phoebe as she is the biggest drama tantrum diva ever but that would not be good lol. Instead I have used this very oriental diva whom I adore. Japanese Geisha girls just scream ultimate diva to me - hm, should have done her face white (maybe next time).
