MAKE IT MONDAY - ALREADY

Hello Everyone...

WOW!! Monday already...been home for a week..I wonder what I have been doing?

It has gone so fast...and it has been wet,wet,wet...but at least my Ladies are happy that I have come home...5 days to them must seem like a life time.

So here we are, a new Monday, and a new week with MAKE IT MONDAY ..

This week we are sponsored by BUGABOO 

 

 

 

and I have used PENNY PAISLEY  isn't she charming...

The papers are MME "The sweetest Thing - Tangerine" and the dies are Spellbinders "Morocann Accents"....

All coloured up with Faber Castell pencils and added liquid pearls to the flowers on her dress, and a button tied with twine onto a prima flower...

The sentiment is from "Ladybug Crafts ink".."It's only words" set..

For my POTW [pick of the week]...

#60 Karen  I think this is so beautiful, love the colours and image and those butterflies are gorgeous..well done Karen and thanks for sharing with us at Make it Monday.

Come to the end of my notes, so must have covered everything...

Hope to see you all over at make it monday, anything goes, as long as there is paper on your project....have a fabulous week and will see you soon.

SOMEONES STEALING MY DAYS AWAY!!

Hello Everyone...

I just cannot believe that it is Sunday already...I have been home a week tomorrow from Australia, and still lagging behind, wandering in a daze, and been severley told off by some of my Ladies for leaving them...lol.

I have a cute little card for STAMPFAIRY  to share today, with an older image and so adorable, a pleasure to colour and decorate..

This is PATSY BEACHTIME 4 

Coloured with Faber Castell pencils and her bathing suit paper pieced with MME "Happy Day"....and glossy accents on the water..

The side view....the little seagulls are actually doves, a rubber stamp from Kaiser..and I adapted them with colouring to make them into seagulls...think it works?

Seedbeads for the edging and Marianne Creatables shell die....nice and simple..

So there we go....a card for a bit of fun for STAMPFAIRY...

See you tomorrow...hope you are having a great weekend....tried playing with my new goodies but Mr Mojo was having nothing to do with it, so put them all away and went back to my old stuff..then made 2 DT cards...the mind boggles at times..

LOOK WHO FLUTTERED HOME!!

Hello Everyone,

Back home safe and sound, nearly broke....but had the time of my life.

Their sales were crazy over in Aussie at the Gold Coast, just about bought a whole new wardrobe..lol..except the crafty stuff took priority...and spent most of my money on dies..[photos at the end of the post if you're keen..]

But today we are here for a new challenge over at...

               FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAYS

and this week[scary as it is]..is CAS...

Single layer card....stamped the butterflies using a foam backed stamp from a candy win from Lisa Jane  aaaages ago.

Coloured them up with different copics and stamped the sentiment, and that is from a magazine freebie "Cardmaking and papercrafts..[great set].

Got a bit of a bend in it as it is only a single layer..and did a squiggle line around the edge...done!

You can check out my expert teamies CAS cards HERE... and link up your cards while you are there, just remember your BUTTERFLY or FAIRY..

Photo time...

Dies...dies...

More dies....

and MORE dies....I'm in die heaven..

A few copics and another key ring with ice cream cones [how cute]...and of coures ladybugs...gotta have the ladybugs.

Some distress inks and the cutest little vials with fairy dust and pirate gold...

And then the overload of paper pads...yummy.

So there we go...I'm a happy camper, and this lot should keep me occupied for awhile..

I have seen these dies all over blogland, and just cannot find them here in NZ..so was overjoyed when I found everyone I wanted but one..but I'm sure he will turn up somewhere..lol..

Thanks for stopping by..will see you on my blog rounds..

VERY EARLY FOR MAKE IT MONDAY

Hello Everyone....

This is a very early post for MAKE IT MONDAY...although it may pop up on the right day, I'm writing it on Thursday morning....WHY!! I hear you ask...well I'll tell you..I'M NOT HERE...NO, I'm in Australia, shopping my little heart out, and hopefully enjoying every moment....but still wanted to post my card up as I'll be late home on Monday night..

This week we are being sponsored by NICECRANE DESIGNS  and I had the pleasure in playing with this adorable Fairy....Sweet Fairies DS5  ...

Coloured with Faber Castell pencils and her wings all sparkled up..

The butterflies are from my last craft trip away, and instead of cutting them individually I plopped them all off the top of the card...after inking their edges.

The crocheted flowers and pearl from my stash, and the little frame came in a set of 3 to a packet, and found them in a box of bits while having a tidy up..as you do..lol.

Another shot...I don't know, some days no sun...other days there is too much...papers from stash as well....

So there we are...my post made days in advance, so no POTW this week, but may do 2 next week...I could do 2 every week, it is so hard as there are so many fantastic makes at MAKE IT MONDAY...Thanks teamie Lisa for taking over with my numbers while I'm gallivanting overseas..

Will see you all next week....

Have a light day at work today, then getting my hair done..WHY!! I do not know as it is pouring down here today and not much better in Aussie, so will probably be a frizz ball for 5 days, but they don't know me over there, so doesn't really matter I suppose..lol..

JUST SITTING AND DREAMING!!

Hello Everyone..

Monday today, and a Statutory day too, [Queens Birthday weekend.. so just sitting here in the sun that is pouring inside on this cold wintry day through my glass doors, just sitting and dreaming away about my  trip  coming up ...Monday...yep..Monday...lovely...OMG!! MONDAY...I have a post to do...it is

MAKE IT MONDAY TIME  no time to be day dreaming...move it girl...lol...

So here we are...with our sponsor this week KENNY K  ...[awesome].

I have had this beaut image for quite awhile and needed a card for my Grandsons birthday, and as he is a soccer freak, it just had to be...

Anime Soccer is the name of this image, and wonderful to colour..although his pants and hat are paper pieced...the papers from Basic Grey "Granada"

AND....I made an easel card.....using stickers for his name, such a great pad of alphabet stickers from "Pixie Press"..

I used the grass punch from Fiskars to make the card stand up.....

And now my POTW...# 170 Susan  ......

Such a neat and ever so cute beach scene Susan..fabulous colouring too..love it.

So there we are, post all done, now I'm going back into the sun, may have a nana nap while I'm waiting for the lunchtime rush with my Ladies...although it is a holiday, I still do my personal cares and have a few new ones..sheeezzz...they keep you on your toes..one turns her phone off at the wall every night, she thinks its the heater, one bought so many tins of cat food, but she does not have a cat..so hope she doesn't eat it..One gets all dressed up with her lippy on ready to go to town, but never goes..and one opens a fresh can of peaches every morning for breakfast and has containers full of them in the fridge, so I have to merged them all together and hide the can opener..lol..never a dull moment in Chrissyland..

See you tomorrow...
