Good morning lovely bloggers....hope you're all well!

Do you have anything nice planned for the Bank Holiday weekend? Nothing 

much happening here....I'm still not too well but we do have my son 

James 21st birthday on Monday....he has to work but I'm sure there'll be 

some fun afterwards! ;) Haven't been able to manage much craft time 

recently....all the tablets I'm on are just starting to kick in, I think, and all 

I want to do is sleep!! Here's a little bookmark I made for Miss

 Rebecca.....she's always got her nose in a book....or 3...and has to have a

 huge supply of bookmarks....the idea for this one came from a mag

 and it was so quick & easy, can see this being the 1st of many in this 

style! Rightio, my friends, thanks for calling today, hope your days a good one!

Sparkle & Shine with Lexi's Creations

Hi friends.........hope you're all well!

I've been an awful blogger/crafter this last week but I'm having some

pretty awful health issues right now........but today, I feel a little better so

have managed to create a card for the new challenge over at 

Lexi's Creations where this time, the theme is GLITTER & SPARKLE.

As usual, we love to see anything you'd like to make, you have until

August 31st to play and you could be the lucky winner of 5 digis

from our lovely sponsor Fairy Dust Crafts

Don't forget, there's also some gorgeous inspiration over on the main blog

from the rest of the fabby dt! I kept my card real simple this time...

I used a die cut decoupage sheet covered in lots of glitter & sparkle!

 Rightio, that's all from me for today........fingers crossed I'll be visiting

 all your lovely blogs sometime today!

Thanks for calling.....hope to see you at Lexi's!

all......it's made using all scraps! The image is the sweet Ian from the

Greetings Farm coloured with pro/flexmarkers, the papers are Three Bugs

 in a Rug, bunting is cut with Framelit dies, anchor is a Marianne die, I

 used some long forgotten stickers to spell 'dude', some paper string & my

 hand-written sentiment and that's it! Rightio, must dash..........it's

grocery shopping day..........then maybe a little crafty time!

Thanks for calling.....hope you have a lovely day!

An Emo Christmas....

Morning....a bit cooler & a nice breeze here today.....just the way I like it!

Been a bit of a busy weekend here so not much time for crafting but I did 

manage this Christmas card...............and Miss Rebecca has claimed it

already lol! It looks a lot brighter IRL but no matter which angle I look at it

 it never looks straight......or maybe it's just me that's lopsided??

Anyway, here's what I used: the image is from Delicious Doodles and she's 

called "An Emo Christmas" and I think she's fab! Scraps of 

Christmas paper (can't remember what it's called), precious stars dies, a

few gems and a LOTV sentiment stamp! Hope you like it & thanks

for looking today......see you tomorrow!
