Molly Blooms Birthday Parade Candy!

Morning friends....if I've done this right then this is a sticky post
and will stay at the top of my blog!
No card today......just a little something to give away....
I bought one of these fabby kits a while ago.....then one of my lovely boys
 saw them in a shop & thought he would treat me.....aw, didn't have the 
heart to tell him I'd already got it! It's full of papers stamps, ribbons,
buttons and a beautiful magazine full of lovely ideas!
If you'd like it just leave me a comment...I'd love you to be a follower
and maybe pop a pic in your sidebar! I'll get Miss Rebecca to pick
a winner at the end of the month! Thanks for calling!

Ragdoll Ruby

Don't forget....you can enter my little candy here!
Good morning lovely bloggers......hope you had a fabulous weekend!
Bet all you Downton Abbey fans are happy it's back......I'm a late-comer
to Downton......just finished the end of Season 2.......and I'm hooked!
I love it......especially Violet lol! Anyway, I did manage a little crafty time 
over the weekend & made a little tent picture for Miss Rebecca!
I used an image from Dilly Beans called Ragdoll Ruby......she's got
to be my fav.......and the colours are too, although I chose them cos they
 go with Rebecca's room. I wanted a real grungy, almost dirty feel to
this & am quite pleased with it. Everything is ripped, torn, inked, doodled
and glittered.....even the ribbon....can't remember where it's from but it's 
amazing stuff.....you can do what you like to it & it still looks great!
Rightio, that's me for today.....didn't manage to find any wallpaper last
week so guess what I'm doing today....yep, off to another shop!
Thanks for calling today.....hope you have a lovely day!

Unicorn Girls Heart

Morning you lovely bloggers....hope you're all well! 
Today I'm sharing a card using my 1st Dilly Beans purchase....I know I'll be
 back for more cos they're all fab! This one is called Unicorn Girls Heart and
 I wanted to keep it fairly clean & simple....and she had to have
my fav-at-the-moment green/turquiose hair (coloured with Spectrums 
& Copics)........I just hope I've done her justice lol. 
Papers & card are all snippets from my scrap box & I just added
 a strip of washi tape, a length of paper twine, a couple of gems and that's it! 
 Rightio, that's me for today.....off for a catch up on all your lovely
 makes.......whatever you're doing today.....hope it's a good one!
Thanks for calling........I love hearing from you!
