Nikita is here!

Hi friends. First of all I'm sorry for my lack of post for the new challenge over at A Gem of a Challenge. There is a fab colour challenge going on over there but my busy week has left me with little time to create, so my apologies to the lovely ladies over there.

On a brighter note we have a new addition to our family!!!

We picked Nikita up this afternoon and the family have been getting to know her

I think Caleb has found a firm friend!

It's exhausting getting to know a new home though!

She has settled in quite well so far but we still have the first night to go yet!

Thanks for coming by

Caleb's birthday

Hi folks, just a quick post from me with some photos of the little man's 5th birthday.

Caleb got a tonne of Skylanders for his birthday (this is the result of months of searching!)

Caleb also got a bike with a special Helmet lol! Here he is modelling his shark helmet with his best scary face!!!

He had his party at the local play center with 23 of his classmates. He is posing here with Funky Monkey himself!

We also had a 2nd little party at home with the girls where he got to blow out his candles again! He didn't cut the cake with his friends as they all had Skylanders cupcakes instead!

He had sooooo many presents! We still have a mass of boxes unopened and he has lots of cash to buy even more toys too!

Thanks for coming by!

Kenny K pockets with tags DT card

Happy Sunday everyone!

Ugh to this UK weather! Honestly one minute it's sunny then it rains for about and hour than sunny again for 5 min, then hail, then more rain!!! It's pretty dull and miserable I hope it gets better soon!

Today sees another new challenge over at Kenny Ks Krafty Girlz and our theme is..

POCKETS WITH TAGS

I have to say this slightly scared me I'm not that much into tags let alone pockets! But I went for a pocket card with a simple tag and made a car for my nephew's birthday which is on Thursday, the same day as my son's.

My nephew, Sam, is autistic, he loves playing with cards, not in the game sort of way you and I would but counts them, flicks them, holds them etc so this image, anime game kid, was completely perfect for his card!

I have used portobello rd papers (I really love these especially for male cards) The playing cards were a freebie download, I just googled them and printed them off! My play tab is one I've had in my stash forever from rusty pickle, the tag is made from an old jeans tag, I just roughed it up and added some paper and then added the metal  embossed charm from Making memories, my sentiment is SU.

I have coloured this super image with prisma pencils and I have added some glossy accents to his glasses for a slightly raised effect. I have edged in vintage photo and mounted on kraft cardstock.

I would like to enter this into..

OLLCB Bold and bright, For fun challenges anything goes, Cute card thurs metallica, Daring cardmakers tag you're it, Crafty Anns it's a man thing, Totally gorjuss boys and their toys and 2 sisters use a digi.

Do check out the rest of the teams cracking creations this wk!

I have to say I'm super excited for this week coming! My mum is here tomorrow for the week (so I may not be about blogland so much) It's Calebs 5th birthday on Thurs and we get our puppy on Sat whoop whoop it's fun times ahead!!

Thanks so much for coming by my blog!

SFTW Sparkle and shine DT card

Hi everyone! Hasn't it been such a washout lately? Just rain, rain and more rain! We need to get one of those water butt thingys to collect some of this rain water for the garden later in the year, I guess that's another thing to add to the to do list!

It's challenge time again at Stampin for the weekend and wow we now have well over 1000 followers over there which is fantastic and what's even better is in May we turn 3! I have not been with the blog that long but we are going to have a big celebration, so check that out in the next challenge!

Our theme this time is sparkle and shine and we are sponsored by the pretty little ribbon shop who are offering up a fantastic Catslife sentiment stamp for a prize! 

Well yet again it's as dull as dishwater here as my mum would say so I can assure you my card really does sparkle with lots of glitter but my photos don't show that!

I absolutely adore this image she is one of Mos and isn't she perfect?! I have teamed her with Tilda wintergarden papers which you can barely see due to my excess of cheesecloth and lace from stash. My edged was cut with Tim holtz then inked, crackle painted and stickle sparkled! My flowers are WOC again sparkled, my butterfly is little snippets, inked and sparkled, my muse tag is Tim holtz with crackle paint and a MME brad, my sentiment is SU.

Well, she turfed me off my stash diet didn't she! I already had this stunning Mos image but loved colouring her so much had to go over and buy a couple more sssshhhhh! They are only digis and I haven't bought anything else for ages honest! I have coloured her with prisma pencils and then sparkled her wings and snowball with glamour dust.

I would like to enter this into....

Cupcake crafts in the deep end, Incy wincy digis only, Crafty cardmakers fantasy, Shabby tea room aqua pink neutrals and flowers, stamp with fun fave colours (pink), digi tuesday distressed, my time to craft fairy nice, whimsy punches or dies, fab and funky lace and pearls and Mos challenge flowers.

Do check out the rest of the teams superb creations and it would be lovely to have you joi in with us this time. Thanks so much for coming by my blog again everyone.

Divas by design and creative Inspirations DT creation

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well and happy out there in blogland!

Today we have new challenges at Creative Inspirations and Divas by design and I did a sneaky and combined my DT work!

At creative inspirations we are "CASING" a card from one of our DT members and it's Aunty Sue. I did case her card but put the LO onto a notebook as our challenge at Divas is ANYTHING BUT A CARD this week.

Over at CI we are sponsored by the fab Crimson cloud and at Divas we are sponsored by Crafts and me whose image I have used.

This is my DT book with my challenges, sponsors etc for the 2 challenge blogs I coordinate. I also have a diary for my day to day DT work! I have been meaning to decorate this book up for ages as it was so drab. I have been ultra good too, these papers were in my scrap pile from a 12x12 sheet! I have also used lace and flower from prima, bling flourish from Sarah's, a ticket from my stash and my ribbon, butterfly and glass bead all come from my wonderful friend Bonnie (thanks sweetie!).

My stunning image is forever rose by Hannah Lynn at Crafts and me. I also have some Hannah's rubber stamps her work is so fab! I have coloured her with prisma pencils. I don't know whats up with my photography lately but my images never seem to look very coloured! I have also used some stickles sparkle on the crystal dome she has her hand on.

I decided to make a little book charm for the edge too. I have several beads from stash here with my heart charm coming from the lovely Lisa Jane (thanks Lisa!) and my flower charm from e bay.

Do check out Aunty Sues card on the CI challenge blog to case it is a simple LO!
