Little Heart

Hi guys, hope you're all well! Oh my, it's so dark here I've had  the
 lights on for most of the day....we've got lots of rain and the
wind's howling......proper creepy! So to brighten my day (and yours
 too, I hope!) here's Little Heart.....a Gorjuss girl, and isn't she cute?
Another card to fill up my box so no sentiment yet and again
 made with old - ish stash! I followed a sketch for this one -
Sketch Saturday.

Thanks for calling.....see you soon!

excuse to stay in & craft lol! So today's card is again using up odd

bits & pieces & real old stash......Oh, I'm ploughing through

it all and sticking to my "no spend" ban......roll on April when I can

 spend again! I decorated the inside on this one too!

Just sittin' on the fence........

......dreaming the day away! Isn't she a sweetie?

No sentiment yet.....I made this one just because I wanted

to......she's a dream to colour and the whole thing came together

real easy AND it's mostly from scraps! Rightio, better go

put my warpaint on and get off to M'sons......that's if I can get

down our drive without falling on my backside.....it's like an ice rink

out there! Take care everyone, see you soon!

Hey dude!

Good morning all you lovely bloggers, are you all well today?

Oh, I'm loving this cold, cold weather.....means I get to

play for longer.....much nicer than going out!

What do you think of this little guy? He was a Christmas

present, as was the paper, and I think he's just perfect for

those hard to do boy cards and the colours, wow......prob my fav

colour combo for male cards....love 'em!

I followed a fab sketch from Sketch Saturday this time....just

the thing to kickstart Mr Mojo!

Rightio, housework is a-calling......then playtime!

Thanks for dropping by, it's great to see you!

Fancy Folds with Lexi's Creations!

Morning everyone, hope you've had a lovely weekend and for

those who have snow I hope it's not been too much trouble!

So today we have a new challenge for you over at 

Lexi's Creations

and the theme is "fancy folds"! Any craft project is welcome

and you have until Feb 2nd to play. Our sponsor this time

is the fabulous My Heart Pieces and the winner will get 3 digis!

As usual, there's fab inspiration from the rest of the team

over on the main blog here so do come join us, we'd love to

have you! I'm afraid my fold isn't very fancy.......Mr Mojo

has gone in search of some sunshine so I stuck with a circle 

easel card.....and again I've raided the scrap box!

Rightio, that's it for today.....thanks for looking and see you soon!

Morning friends, hope you're all well & warm!

We're knee deep in snow here and  it's snowing as I'm typing so

 don't think I'll be stepping foot outside today. Any excuse to to

 stay inside and craft, eh? It looks so pretty outside but it's oh, so

 cold! I think Mr Mojo has had enough of the cold too cos he 

seems to have disappeared.....he's probably off sunning 

himself somewhere! So for today I'm sharing a "just because"

card to go in my box. It started out as a CAS card but

I just can't get the hang of 'em! Still, at least it's made with

mostly scrap box bits! Hehe, I put myself on a stash ban........no

buying until April 1st......and so far I'm doing good! I am able

to buy the basics i.e. glue, plain card & card blanks but that's

all  :(  I really do need to use up some stash! So that's it 

for today.....jobs done. tea sorted now I can go look for

Mr Mojo.......oh, and it's American Idol this aft.....can't

wait though I'll reserve judgement until I've seen the new judges!

Thanks for looking today...stay safe & warm!
