Bad Kitty!

Afternoon Folks!

This week, the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers is right up my street :

4 LEGGED FRIENDS  

I used a PB stamp that I got for Christmas but hadn't seen ink until yesterday - there don't seem to be enough hours in the day lately!! It's called 'a little bird...' and it reminds me of the Sylvester and Tweety Pie cartoons I watched as a  kid!!  Anyway, here's my card

I do hope the feather's aren't the last traces of Tweety Pie!

Love the sentiment which came with this set:

Happy Weekend Folks!

Have you got anything nice planned for the weekend? I'm hoping to dry out after a really miserable wet week here in Hampshire! Felt like I needed a snorkel and flippers waiting for the bus this week! 

As we are mid way through the month, it's time for our new theme over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. This month, Helen would like to see projects with 

NO PATTERNED PAPER.

I've gone off on a tangent this month, no paper at all - just some wool!! This is a crochet  labrador I made as a gift for a work collegue who retired recently - she's hoping to spend more time with her 2 chocolate labs! I only started learning to crochet at the end of last year and it has become an addiction!! So many things I want to try, I just need more hours in the day!

 Apologies for the dull pictures, I had to photograph it before leaving for work last Friday - I only managed to finish him in the nick of time!

I got the pattern from the Edward's Menagerie Dogs book by Kerry Lord. He is made with a 4mm hook and Hayfield bonus DK yarn.

Pleased to say my friend was thrilled x

Pretty in Pink

Morning Folks!

Where has the summer got to? I'm fed up of grey rainy days!

A great theme don't you think? Here's my card using an old but much loved LOTV rubber stamp called Armful of Daisies, which I think has been discontinued. I had a quick look, but I can't see it in their digi collection on Etsy. 

Love those big furry paws!

Bailey the Reindeer

Back again!

Yep, it's me popping up yet again today, to let you know that we have a new challenge starting over at SPARKLES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE and the theme is:

REINDEER

This challenge is perfect for me, as you know I mainly enjoy colouring up animal stamps. When I saw the theme, I had just the stamp in mind that I wanted to use. I had a dig around in my digi collection and found this super cute reindeer from Digistamp Boutique. Still sad the shop has closed because it was one of my very favourite digi stamp suppliers :-(

Please meet Bailey:

 Love that sweet expression:

PARTIAL STAMPING

I needed a really quick birthday card last week for a young friend, here's what I made in a tearing hurry to catch the post. Actually, I think this might be a good way to work, I didn't hunt through lots of papers or stamps. I just grabbed some odds and ends that were left over on my desk  from making this card and cracked on!! 
I even had time to photograph it before posting !!
