Mo Challenge # 113

Good morning...although it's a rather chilly one down here...it's sunny!! Yay :)
This week at Mo's Challenge we have a great theme....to use fabric on your cards. I've used a really yummy Christmas fabric with santa hats and candy canes...covered two card panels and used them as a backdrop for this really gorgeous little guy from Mo's Digital pencil x

Mo Challenge # 111 - The Great Outdoors

Good morning from a chilly South of England...but it's neither raining or snowing so it's good with me...and ties in quite nicely with our theme at Mo's Digital Pencil this week...which is.. The Great Outdoors!!
 I have used the gorgeous 'A  Thousand Stars' from Mo and coloured with Copics.
If you have a couple of minutes, nip across to see the teams work...it's fab! x

Mo Challenge # 106

Morning all...

Thursday again already!! But it does mean that it's Mo's Challenge day...AND...almost the weekend too!! YIP  :)

This week we have a great challenge with a few options....Give Thanks/With Thanks/Thanksgiving...it's up to you x

I've used the so gorgeous 'Kisses' image from Mo's ...Digital Pencil 2 ... and coloured her with Copics If you get a chance nip and have a look at the teams creations...they are just FAB!! x

Today is also a mixed emotion day for me... a year ago today I said goodbye to my dear Dad, who sadly lost his battle with cancer x Mixed feelings, as I'm so sad to have lost such a special man from my life...but also...so very thankful...and proud to have had him as part of it xx

Mo Challenge #105

Good morning from chilly... but potentially sunny Surrey :)  
This weeks challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil was a real tough one for me! How was I supposed to chose my favourite Mo image??? ONE??  I mean really!! Lol  But...that's the only tough bit...once you've chosen your image you just need a sentiment to go with it and voila...you're done :)

I have used the absolutely gorgeous Ragged Angel  from Mo's Digital Pencil ...

Music Saves My Soul...Nicki Minaj/Rihanna

Marcea's Music Saves My Soul is back!! :) Whilst Marcea ...like me...has had a busy few weeks, music still plays most of the day (and night)  in my life, so I haven't missed that.
This week I really couldn't decide between my fav two tracks of the moment...but am going with this one from Nicky Minaj and Rihanna ...

Mo Challenge # 104

Good morning!! Long time no see!!
It's been a busy old time here but I'm back!! Hopefully Mr Blogger will post this for me as I'm off on swimming duty at school :)
This week at Mo's Challenge the theme is 'Inspired by a Song' ... set by our ever so talented Elaine.
I have used Mo's wonderful Chimney Sweep image...which of course immediately shouted Mary Poppins at me.
If you have 5 minutes with a cup of tea, nip over to the challenge blog and take a look at all the DT work this week...

Just Inklined Create & Craft Launch

The ever fabulous Jak Heath launched the brand new range of  Just Inklined Christmas products on Create & Craft tonight....and is back on air at 10am and 1pm tomorrow with more new goodies  :)
Here's a card I made using one of the designs from the  Book At Bedtime range x
These are also now available from HERE

Music Saves My Soul...Stevie Wonder

I've lost a week somewhere!! Half of the children are back home (that makes it sound as if I have hundreds! lol) ... and I have FOUR days until I drive up and collect my eldest daughter and Grandson as they are moving back in with me :)
 But my music keeps playing and this week for Marcea's Music Saves my Soul I've chosen this track from Stevie Wonder which is one we listened to last night at my sister's house while we sat outside with the wood burner 'til the early hours!! :)

Mo Challenge # 96...Something Blue

Morning all!! Another dull and dreary day here in the UK...think I must have blinked and missed summer at some stage!!  I suppose it kind of blends with this weeks Mo's Challenge as the theme set for us is 'Something Blue' ...that said....there's nothing dreary about any of the DT's cards...nip and have a look at their wonderful work over on the challenge blog x
I've used the totally gorgeous On The Pot (boy)  from the wonderful Mo and her Digital Pencil...coloured him with Copics...and added him to a card with DP's from Stamping Up and the Daisy & Dandelion ranges.

Hope you have a fab day x

Music Saves My Soul...Olly Murs + Rizzle Kicks

It's Saturday again...so it's music day again! Yay :)   This week for Marcea's Music Saves My Soul I'm going with the song that just makes you turn up the radio in the car...as if it's not loud enough!! Oooops! :)  The gorgeous Olly Murs with Rizzle Kicks...

And of course these guys also have their own new track which is just as great full blast (I should act my age!! Lol) ...so.....you can have that one too!!!!

Mo Challenge # 95

The weeks are whizzing past and we're already half way through the summer holidays...with not much 'Summer' going on!! This week for Mo's Challenge we were given the theme...'Anything But A Card'...and it's right up my 3D street! :)

I used the gorgeous 'Chocolate Smile' image from Mo's Digital Pencil and made a box for her to sit on...which I filled with chocolates!! :)
Right...well I'm off to Curves for a workout because just looking at those chocolates is likely to have put pounds on!!  Have a good day all x

Music Saves My Soul... MSM -

No...not a typo for MSN lol ... but Miami Sound Machine .....
This week for Marcea's  Music Saves My Soul I've gone with a track used so often in our Zumba/Curves classes. And yes...I'm sure you'd love to be a fly on the wall...so would I some times lol...but it's great fun! If you've not tried Zumba.....GO!!!!!! :)

Mo Challenge # 94

Here we are...Thursday again which means it's Mo's Challenge day. This week our challenge is to make an Easel card and use an animal or bird somewhere on our creation.  I've used the gorgeous little Kitchen Knight with his little dragon...coloured with Copics... used Laura Ashley DP and added a sword and button as a shield.

Music Saves My Soul... Maverick Sabre

I've really missed Marcea's Music Saves My Soul ... (you might have to wait until tomorrow for her return!! ^.^)...but have to say that my music has still been with me almost 24/7 though :)  Yes...I DO sleep with my music still playing via my earphones...most nights!!

This week I'm going for 'Maverick Sabre' ...released just this week and I'm just loving it (hopes Johnny Vaughan (Capital Radio) isn't reading...he hates people saying 'loving it' lol) 

Mo Challenge # 93

WoW!! Challenge No 93...and motoring along towards the BIG 100!!! ^.^
Well here we are in the summer holidays...phew!! I know, I know...you think I'm mad (and I know I am! lol) ...but it's 'slow down a bit' time for me...so they're a welcome break...and I 'm hoping that by the weekend I'll be back to stalk some of you!! :)
Right ... on with this weeks Mo's Challenge ...which has been set by our lovely teamie Elaine, with the theme of 'Something Sweet' and should be food related. Easy peasy with all of Mo's adorable images...so many to choose from, like me it'll take you best part of the week to pick one!! lol
I've used the gorgeous little 'Kai is One' image...coloured her with Copics and the papers are from DCWV 'Sweet' collection,

Mo Challenge # 92 Summer Vacation...

Wow!! It's been so long since I came in here that I had to dust before I could sit and do anything... and such a long time since I've crafted too! I've put that to rights and made a few 'teacher' cards in the last couple of days...and have HUGE plans to get some 'me' time once school finishes tomorrow! Yip!! ^.^
Well I'm back, (late!)... and playing at Mo's Challenge this week, and boy have I missed the girls and their incredible work x
This weeks theme is 'Summer Vacation'...here in the UK the weather seems to be confusing Summer with Autumn...it's rained and rained...and rained some more...but regardless of the weather, we are just one day away from the summer hols and so this is my DT card for this challenge, based on the teachers going off on Summer Vacation....

Mo Challenge # 88....

Morning! :)
Another week has shot past and we are another week closer to the summer holidays! Yip! If only the weather would catch up with the times huh? It's not just been wet this week, it's been cold too!
Well...on with this weeks challenge. A lovely one this week with heaps of options! The actual title of the theme is 'F,F,F,F' ...which roughly translates to ... 'Fairies, Flutters, Flowers and Fancy Folds'...of which you can include one, two, three or all of on your creation.
Me being me has gone for the 'all of' option. The image I've used is Teacup Fairy from Mo's Digital Pencil  as my 'Fairy' ... I've made an easel card as my fancy fold...used punched butterflies as my 'Flutters' and Prima Hydrangeas for my 'Flowers'.

Mo Challenge # 87

Hi all :)  Ok, so what happened to our weather? I know I really shouldn't complain considering what's going on around the world...BUT... I was quite liking waking up to sunshine and flinging open the windows!  Oh well...on the not so sunny days, it gives us a good excuse to craft! :)
This week at Mo's Challenge, we were given the theme ... To use A Tag/Tags and your fav embellies ... I've used 4 small tags to make the BABY sentiment, and my ribbon and roses have to be right up there with my fav embellishments!
If you get a chance, do nip across to the challenge blog to see the rest of the DT's work...it's amazing! x

Music Saves My Soul...

It's been rather busy over here and so Monday seems to have become my new Saturday!! :)  This week for Marcea's Music Saves My Soul I've chosen a Shania Twain classic... I think her CDs have got to be amongst my most played ever!  Enjoy...and have a great week x

Mo Challenge # 85...

Good morning!! It's half term here, and it's whizzing by sooooo fast! I'm trusting Mr Blogger with my post as while you read this I should be merrily charging (ok...sat in traffic) round the M25! ;0)

This week for Mo's Challenge we have a sketch for you... just nip across to the challenge blog to see it... along with all the wonderful DT cards...it's so worth a visit x

I have used the gorgeous little My name is Alice, with her skipping rope available from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Dashing off now, as I need to get my beauty sleep and get up at 5.30am ...yawn! :) Hope you have a fab day and a great weekend x

NEW....LA PASHE ... TRINITAGE

Today sees the launch of the Brand New Trinitage designs from La Pashe! There are 2 sets, each with 8 designs

This design, from Set 3 is called 'Nesting' and you can dress it

up or down as much as you like. I just love this one x

From Set 4...Just love this little guy with his fishing rod...it just had to be a feature of this card...and inside the little ceramic mushroom just HAD to be there :)

......AND ... there are some absolutely adorable Brand New to us all... 'Labeled With Love' design sheets which are just THE best!! Nip over and take a look...I promise you won't be disappointed!

Music Saves My Soul...The Pierces

I'm sharing The Pierces new track with you this week...just love them ...

Have a fab week x

Mo Challenge # 84

I disappear...and then when I finally get here... I'm late!!! Hoping that next week will give me some much needed 'catch up' time :)

Well, this week at Mo's Challenge we have been given the fab theme of 'Pearls and Flowers' ...and for me...I can't believe how I didn't manage to totally load my card with both pearls AND flowers!! But I was well behaved and went for the 'less is more' look :)

I have used Mo's Fairy Kiki ...and made a card for a friend who could do with a million hugs right now x

Music Saves My Soul... Aerosmith...

Hopefully Mr Blogger will play nicely today and share my song for Marcea's 'Music Saves My Soul' this week....

I just love Aerosmith...and I'm not sure if it's 'right' but isn't there just 'something' about Steven Tyler?? ...even if he is nearly 20 years older than me!! ^.^

I have chosen 'Amazing' ...because it is!! ...And also because the lyrics are just wonderful...and don't have to be taken in the context in which they were probably written for them to have so much meaning.....

The line at the very end has the words 'remember ...the light at the end of the tunnel...may be you!' How true is that??

xx Take care and have a fab week...you may just be somebody's light xx

Mo Challenge # 82

Good morning! We are being totally spoiled by all this lovely weather...I hope this isn't what we'll look back on and call Summer though!!

Music Saves My Soul...

...On a Wednesday!!! :)

It was one of those weekends where the world didn't slow down enough for me to jump off and jump back on again, and just whizzed by!!

Anyway...as 'Music Saves My Soul' everyday of the week I thought I'd nip in and share my latest song to go on 'repeat'!! And at the age of just 14...I think she has a great future ahead of her!
