Anything Goes with Delicious Doodles!

Morning crafty bloggers, happy Friday...........hope you're all well!
I'm so sorry I've not been around much recently, we've had a few internet & telephone
problems which resulted in us having no internet for quite a while......not good in the
Summer holidays when most of the kids are all home! They all start back at school and
college from Monday so hopefully I'll manage a bit more crafty time......and maybe
even get stuck into some Christmas makes........eeeekkk......not long now lol!
So today I have my Dt make for the latest challenge over at Delicious Doodles
where the theme is ANYTHING GOES but don't forget, you have to use a Delicious
 Doodles image & you might be the lucky winner of 5 of Teri's fab images!
I love the chance to bring my darker side out & for this card I used the beautiful
bride, Rosita, my fav purples & blacks, some odds & ends from my stash & a computer
generated sentiment. As usual, there's some fab Dt makes over on the main blog & you
have until September 11th to play.....would love to see you there!
Rightio, better go.....we're off uniform shopping today to get the last bits they
 need......wish me luck! Thanks for calling, see you soon!

GDT with Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes!

Hi guys.......I'm here today with my GDT make for Creative Inspirations!
This week the theme is ANYTHING GOES with the option of a sketch......you
can use the sketch shown on the challenge post or any of the older ones........I
used sketch no 6 for my make. You can find all the challenge details, rules, sponsor
info & the gorgeous Dt makes here on the main challenge blog.
I used some of my favourite Gorjuss stash for my make, I layered the image up
3 times for extra dimension, added some handmade flowers & a Gorjuss
bow to finish.....no sentiment as yet cos I'm not sure where it's going!
So that's it from me for today.......thanks for calling & whatever you're up to...
......hope you have a lovely day!

A couple more bracelets!

Hi crafty bloggers......hope you're all well! 

I'm feeling a bit naughty this morning.......woke up before 7 as usual......then turned over &
went back to sleep.......and didn't get up til 9.15!!!!Bet I'll pay for it tonight though when
I won't be able to get to sleep lol!

Anyway, for today's make I have a couple more bracelets to share, again I've used up
odds & ends from the jewellery drawer (I'm sure they multiply while I'm not looking) &
my favourite waxed cotton cord. Thought they looked more for the boys but
once I tried them on I think us girlies could definitely wear them too. I have some of
the cream oval beads in green too so think that might be my next make!
Rightio, shopping day today so I better go get myself sorted......thanks for calling
& I'll see you soon!

Spread Your Wings & Fly!

Morning lovelies......hope you're all well & had a lovely weekend!
Miss Rebecca & me spent the weekend pottering in the craft room, we've been having
a play with inks, sprays, texture paste, gesso......oooh, all the lovely inky messy stuff! We've
been watching lots of mixed media tutorials, collecting hints & tips from you lovely bloggers
..........and I think we're hooked! Today's make is an 8x8 canvas, I made for Rebecca's wall, I'm 
quite pleased with how it turned out for a 1st attempt! I can see lots of things that aren't
 perfect,  lots of things I'd do different next time but you know what.....I love it, it suits Rebecca 
to a tee & looks fab on her purple bedroom wall! Would love to know what you
think......but be gentle with me lol! We'll definitely be having another play, Rebecca loves 
to draw & has plans to try an art journal!
Rightio, better go catch up on some housework.....thanks for calling!
