My Summer '08

I thought I'd share with you a collection of photos displaying my summer... so many lovely things!

Blog Candy!!

Hey all! Just wanted to share that my fellow Team Member of DewDrop Craftz who makes the most amazing creations is giving away BLOG CANDY!!!
Please visit her blog and all you have to do is leave a comment and put a link to Adele's blog. Hope you're all having a good Friday, the weekend has nearly begun!

I must... I must... I must...

Post more OFTEN!!

Although I have had a busy summer with family and friends and not much time for crafting, but with Autumn drawing in and the darker evenings (booo!) I will be back to my crafty self, but at the moment I have a gastro thing and laryngitis and just can't be bothered to get off the sofa.... poor me :o( !!

I do have something to share with you though....

It is for the Stamp of the Month 'Bubble Background' that Nikki at DewDrop Craftz kindly sent me for this month!

It really is such a versatile stamp and goes really well with August's Stamp of the Month which was the "Under The Sea" set. Which I've just realised that I never blogged, opppss!! :oS So much has been going on here!!

Here are a couple of cards that I made with Septembers Stamp of the Month.

Exciting news

Hello... hello... hello......... anyone reading this?

Sorry I haven't been around. Life has been really busy at the moment and I have lost my mojo... but.... I have found some time for crafting the last couple of day's. The exciting news is that I have been made a Design Team Member for DewDrop Craftz and here are my creations for 'Stamp Of The Month' which is "Ferdy' Snow Frog. I'm not that keen on these creations but haven't had time to really sit down and play as my Uncle is seriously ill in hospital so my time has been cut short plus with other things that are going on in my life.

So here they are....






The second picture is a Bag-A-Lope, the instructions for this can be found here

Challenge 13 - MESSY!!

Sue's next challenge was this:

Another photo please of your craft space NOW no titivating we need to see it as it is!!




I have NO shame! LOL!! I was planning on some crafting yesterday but with visitors and then a bit of upset tummy, no time to play :O( but fear not I will be getting messy this evening as I am off to the seaside to get some sun, sand and candy floss LOL!!!

Have a good day wherever you are ;)

CBC: Challenge 6 – Crafty Storage Ideas

We need a picture of your favourite storage item can be shop bought or made. The catch here is the item must NOT be purpose built – ie a paper rack for paper nah thats just not on we need clever crafty ideas

Here's my favourite storage item minus the cakes :O(



A cute little place for my ickle ink pads, acrylic paints and 'wot not's' ;O)

Challenge 5 – A Template

The uber talented Sue gave us a template to get our creative juices flowing.



... this was my take on it.



Stamps by SU! and Gina K. Designs

CBC: Challenge 4 – Round & Round

Next Sue wanted us to create a card with at least FIVE!! circles on it.

I had to have a little think about this one and after a rummage through my paper rack, I found the perfect paper and I already had some gorgeous images stamped out which are by the lovely Nikki at DewDrop Craftz , I wanted something bright, funky and retro looking.

CBC: Challenge 3 – A project

A MATCH BOOK

... here is the start of mine!

Mine is going to be based on piccies of my mum and me, we are so close I know that she will treasure it :O)
Excuse the American spelling, more often or not I actually call her 'ma' (bit of the Bristolian lingo coming out in me LOL!
