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

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
