A bit of a change......and some candy!

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well.

It's been a strange week here, you know the kind of week where you don't

seem to have 2 minutes to yourself but you don't seem to get anything done either?

Well, that's been my kind of week......here's hoping next week is more productive,

especially on the crafting front.

I've been thinking for a while that a bit of a blog revamp is in order and I've finally

taken the plunge. I've had a bit of a colour change up and I've changed the title

 too............I'm sure I'll be tweaking a bit more but I'm happy for now!

So to celebrate I'm having a bit of a candy giveaway, here's whats on offer:
1 x regency swirls 3D embossing folder
1 x opulent swirls metal die pack (6 dies)
1 x antique edge decorative metal dies (3 dies)
usual rules apply:

Sympathy toppers

Hi friends, happy Sunday......hope you're having a lovely weekend.
I have a couple of toppers to share today, the kind nobody likes to make
but sadly we all need at some time.
Lots of layers used, all die cut & finished with a tiny faux pearl in the centre of
 the flower. Wasn't sure whether or not to add a sentiment so I left them without but
typically once I uploaded the photo I'm thinking I should have.
That's my lot for today, thanks for calling & whatever you're up to hope you
have a lovely day.

My CANDY finishes tonight so there's still a few hours left to enter if you'd like.

Something for the Weekend!

Morning crafty friends, welcome to Something for the Weekend!

Do you have anything nice planned? We have a shopping day planned for today

then tomorrow it's craft, craft & more craft!

So this Something for the Weekend is a 16th birthday card topper. It measures approx

5x5 square so will sit nicely on a 6x6 card blank. I used mostly bits & bobs & just 

a few faux gems to finish! Papers are from Craftwork Cards, the bunting die is

Marianne, the punches I have no idea.....I think they're older than some of my

children lol! Number dies are Memory Box & the 'sweet' die was an Ebay buy.

Better dash......got a busy day ahead. Thanks for calling, have a lovely day!

Thursday Throwback - Bella

Hi friends, hope you're all well.

Thursday already.......so that means time for a throwback pic.......thought I'd go

with kitty pics today as so many of you ask how they're all doing.

This is Bella when she was first born, she's 2 and a 1/2 now & she's the sweetest,

snuggliest, laziest cat you could ever meet! She'll happily spend all day on my chair

& all night snuggled next to me.........unless.........she can get into a bag, box or any

thing similar! Oh, and she's a bit of a poser too lol.....she loves having her photo

taken!

Here she is in one of her favourite places........a paper grocery bag!

I think shopping day is her favourite day......we have to empty the bags

 straight away else she'll get in them whether they have veg in them or not!

If you have any throwback pics you'd like to share do let me know so I

can come visit you too......and don't forget there's still time to enter my

CANDY

Thanks for calling & for any comments you might leave......see you tomorrow.

Frosty Moments

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well & managing some crafty time.

Oh my, didn't realise just how far behind I am with my Christmas makes

for this year......only 3 months to go!! Not that I'm complaining, Autumn & Winter

are my favourite times of the year & I love all the preparations, all the hustle &

bustle, the shopping, the planning.....oooh, I love it all!

So today's make is a Christmas card, I have to be honest & say it looks much better

in real life.....there's lots of layers & sparkle.

I started with a base layer of kraft card, added elements from a Studio Light kit

page and the silver wreath is cut with a Sizzix die

Rightio, my friends, that's my lot for today. Thanks for calling....see you tomorrow.

There's still time to enter my CANDY if you'd like.

Kitty Love!

Hi crafty friends & bloggers, hope you're all well.
It's a cold, wet & windy day here......craft room is definitely the best place to be...
......especially if I'm snuggled up with some of the kitties!
So today's make is made with freebies from a mag......I started with a black base
layer, the patterned layer was a freebie, I added a black strip, next the sweet (free) image.
I added 2 die cut banners & placed the sentiment on top & finished with some
die cut kitties & a couple of faux gems! Quick, easy & super sweet!
Thanks for calling today & for any comments you might leave....see you tomorrow.
