Mo Challenge # 77

Good Thursday morning to you. Doesn't it make such a difference to get up with the sun shining brightly? Just going to say a quick 'Happy Birthday' to my Emily, who has got to the ripe old age of sweet 16 today xx

With that in mind, this week's theme at Mo's Challenge is 'How does your garden grow' ... so anything garden inspired will work :)

I've used the gorgeous little 'Waiting for Rain' image from Mo. Well, we do need rain for our gardens, but if it could just keep to raining overnight that would be great :)

Don't forget to give the other DT girls a visit, because I know that they have wonderful things to show you...as always xx

Just Inklined To Hop!!

Morning :)

It's the first Monday of the month, so it's Just Inklined blog hop day!! It's the fourth one this year, which means there are only another 8 to go before Christmas!!! Eeek!! Now there's a scary thought!! lol

Anyway, here we are in April and our theme this month has been set by Jeni, (which is where the hop starts) and it's 'Bring in Spring' ...so anything with a touch of Spring to it is good :)

I've gone a bit mad and made a 'Spring' card...quite literally...and used the gorgeous 'We're Hungry' image available from La Pashe. It's been coloured using my trusty Copics.

I just know that the girls will 'WoW' you with their creations so be sure not to miss any x

If you arrived here from the lovely Heidy's blog ... then you're on the right track, and you can hop off on your way to the wonderful Joyce and see what fabulous spring thing she has to show you xx Thanks for stopping by, and if you get lost, here is the direction to hop in...have fun!! x

Jeni, Jak, Debbie, Toni, Meesh, Karen, Cathy, Heidy, Lydia - You are HERE! :) Joyce

Make It Colourful - Bright Colours

Good Morning :)

What a way to wake up! The sun is streaming through my windows...I was brought a cup of coffee by Katieann (she's 8...for a few more weeks!) ...and then she and Daisy sang * Happy Birthday * to me...awww x They also gave me handmade cards... Katieann's had £1 in change in it and Daisy's had a T bag! It just doesn't get any better than that does it?? xxxx

It's also Make it Colourful challenge day, and this week our theme is to 'Colour with Bright Colours'. We're being sponsored by the fabby Whimsy Stamps too!

If you've not joined us at MIC before, then we'd love to see you...just grab those Copics...ProMarkers...Distress Inks...Prisma Pencils or Watercolours and get colouring!!

If you have 5 minutes (you may need longer as it's hard to tear yourself away) to take a look at the DT's work, it'll be your best spent 5 minutes of the day! They are totally awesome girls and so super duper talented...not to mention an absolute scream! We have laughed our little socks off this week...thank you girls...I sooo needed that x Mwah x

My images this week are Kissing Booth from Make it Crafty and Gruffy Little Gnome from Whimsy Stamps.

Medium - Copics

Colouring/blending paper - THE BEST for Copics - from Make it Crafty

Music Saves My Soul...

Yay! It's the weekend once again...and Saturday = 'Music saves My Soul' day :)

This week I have chosen two totally fab artists...together!! It's so new that as yet it's not available to download (well, not in the 3 music shop for my phone)...and there's no normal video...just song lyric ones! However...I have found a remix version and that's more than good enough for me :0)

Here are the adorably yummy Ricky Martin... and the amazing Joss Stone.....

Mo Challenge # 76

Morning!

It's Thursday again!! Have we had a week of them by any chance?? :) It does mean that it's challenge day at Mo's again though...so all is not lost! ^.^

We have our wonderfully talented Pat hosting again this week...and after last weeks fabulous choice of 'Attitude', she has chosen 'Buttons & Bows' for us!! All she asks is that you of course use a Mo image...and at least one button and one bow.

I used the adorable little 'Savannah On Easter' image...and coloured her with Copics x

I have used the sketch from Sketch N Stash this week - new ribbon (surprise! lol) new sentiment stamp.

Flower Cross

It's hard to believe that we are heading towards Easter at an alarming speed...especially as Christmas was only a few weeks ago!! Wasn't it??? *.*

I have a few Easter cards to make, and as I have quite a few...ok...HEAPS of family birthdays in the next month too I thought I'd better get a move on!! I have used the gorgeous Flower cross by Just Inklined for this card...and coloured it with copics x

Music Saves My Soul...

Yay! ...it's the weekend...but who pinched the sunshine??? tut

Never mind...I'll always have my music to keep me going :)

This week for 'Music Saves My Soul' I'm sharing my most played song of the week again.

Just love this xx

Mo Challenge # 75

Morning :)

It was so nice to wake up to sunshine yesterday, and as I'm typing this at night... I hope it's the same this morning!

Our lovely Pat has chosen our theme for Mo's Challenge again this week, and it's.....ATTITUDE! ...What do you mean...that's right up my street??? *.* "Who Me???"

I have used the adorable Bella & Bronte 'I Dunno' which you can purchase from Mo's 'old shop.......BUT ....you must take a look in Mo's wonderful new shop! Have you been there yet?? No? Well get going...it's just Fab!!! ♥♥

Mother's Day

Yay!! Go me!!! I'm actually ahead on ONE card!! :0) For those of you who know me well, April and May are completely mad months for family and friend birthdays...then of course there's Easter and Mother's Day too!!!

This is my Mum's Mother's Day card...it's ok...she doesn't 'do' computers so won't see it :) x

I have used the lovely Just Inklined Baking Shelf 2 image ... available from La Pashe.

Hope you have a fab week...it's supposed to be lovely and warm in the UK for a few days! Yay! :)

Mo Challenge # 74

Morning :)

This week at Mo's Challenge, Pat has set us a theme of... 'One for the Boys'! So a good reason to challenge yourself and make one of those not so easy cards for the men!

I have used the ever so gorgeous 'Georgie' ...and the glory of this image is you can use him either cartwheeling or jumping for joy!!

Papers - Basic Grey...

Colouring medium - Copics...

Border Punch - Martha Stewart...

Tag Punch - Stampin' Up!

I am entering this into

'Cards for Men' - I've used their sketch

Have a happy day x

Music Saves My Soul...

It gets harder and harder to pick just one song each week!! I could fill pages!! ^.^

I decided that for Marcea's Music Saves my Soul this week it's going to be this, as it's kinda personal to me right now.... and new! Might even make no1 this week!

Have a happy week xx

Make it Colourful - Kids week!

This is Katieann's card....

Don't you just love computers...when they work!!! tut...

I spent ages trying to upload the girls cards to Zoe yesterday, but it kept switching itself off!! How rude!!! So apologies for the late post x

This week at Make It Colourful, we decided to let the children take over!! Mine love crafting so jumped at the chance to join in as part of the 'DT Minis' this week. I let them loose with my Promarkers and they coloured the fabulous Penelope Shopping' from Make It Crafty...the theme is PINK ...

If your little ones would like to join in, just email Zoe, and she'll send Penelope Shopping to you x

This is Daisy's card...

Mo's Challenge # 73

Ok, so what happened to that week??? Oh well...there will be more so never mind. It's Thursday and Mo Challenge day and that's the main thing :)

This weeks challenge has been set by the lovely Pat again, and she's given us the theme of 'All Irish'. No, that doesn't mean you have to make St Patrick's Day cards...they just need to have a main colour of green.

I've made 'my' (well, Kayleigh's actually! ) little George's 1st Birthday card...can't believe it will be a year ago on Friday that at 10lb 110zs, he appeared and changed our lives forever! He's an adorable little guy and such a credit to his Mummy xx

I've used the gorgeous image 'Freddy' from Mo's Digital Pencil and coloured him with Copics and Prisma pencils. I never thought I'd hear myself saying this BUT...how bloomin' hard is it to do 'wiggly' lines on a sewing machine???!!!!!!! *.* No easier than straight lol

U2 are playing in the background, how appropriate!! Have a lovely day all xx

Just Inklined are Hopping Again!

It's the first Monday of the month again...so it's Just Inklined blog hop day! :)

This month our hop theme has been chosen by the ever so fab Joyce...and it's...'Embossing' ...

I've used the fab 'Ringo' image from Just Inklined and have embossed the shaker surround with the Tim Holtz 'wood' folder. The background is wood veneer.

If you're heading in the right direction then you should have arrived here from Jeni's blog...and with a huge hop from here, you will get to the wonderfully talented and completely potty (not like me!!) Meesh's blog :) If you've nipped in any other way then you won't want to miss anything...so run back to the beginning, which is the lovely Joyce

If you get lost and didn't bring your sat nav, then below is the hop order to get you back to where you want to be :)

La Pashe Poppies ...

It seems like forever since I came in here! Oh ok...it IS!!! The 'other' life got the better of me, but hopefully most of that is sorted now, so hope to be back on track soon :)

This is one of the new releases from La Pashe...I just love poppies .... but there's loads of new goodies on the site, including Flippin' women downloads and other 'oldies' x
