Hope your sitting comfortably......



Morning Everyone,
Hope your all sitting comfortably I have lots to tell you and show you.....Right the first thing to tell you is.. That have been picked to join the fabulous team over at Truly Scrumptious,please pop over and checkout the latest challenge and see the gorgeous cards that the DT have made....Right the next thing to tell you,as some of you know it's my birthday tomorrow and look what my lovely Mum and Dad have given me  for my present,all these gorgeous flowers..


They came from Mulberrycraftsuk ...... Mulberrycrafts is run by Bev and Fun, they are both working from home mums supplying crafters with quality materials at reasonable prices. No order is too small..Please pop over and checkout their fabulous flowers and other craft items,I'm sure you won't be able to resist some of the fabulous flowers....
Right what's next oh yes the postman has asked me to run away with him after our encounter last week,no he hasn't just joking .....But I do have a card to show you I have made this for the following challenges....

Fussy and fancy friday Challenge - stitches,scallops and sparkle...



I am going to give this to my friend for her birthday,she is pink mad and I think I've covered that for the Charisma requirement...I have used one of the Kenny K Digi's I think their fab.. she is coloured with polychromos pencils blended with sansador and i have glittered the front of her shoes as a girl can never have too much sparkle...I have cut and layered her and put some faux stitches around the outside...I have used pink card from my stash for the bottom layers and then used pink glitter card for two squares at the top and bottom...The border is cut with a MS punch out of pink mirri board that I found in my stash, the ribbon through the middle I got when I was away last year in Wales...


All of the flowers and gems are from my rather small stash, but thanks to Mum and Dad the flower one is looking much healthier I  have sprayed them with pearl glimmer mist and then sprinkled them all with glamour dust..The sentiment is from a P.I set.....I have used my usual scalloped edge card so I think I have fulfilled the Fussy and Fancy requirements...Hope your all still with me... One more thing don't forget that there are two fab challenges going on over at....

 A Gem of a Challenge lots of fab stamps up for grabs...
 Cards For Men where these's a voucher to spend at One Stop Card Crafts.......

I'm going to try and visit all of the challenges and your blogs in a bit...as katy finishes for the summer hols at lunchtime today, she also finds out today whether she got all of the options she chose for her GCSE's so keep your fingers crossed for her...Catch you later....

It's a deal - you might be sending the little pest back when he keeps you awake charging round the bedroom like a baby elephant in the middle of the night playing and trying to catch the odd moth that flies in.
Look forward to seeing your first DT card, any questions feel free to mail me.
