baby blue!

This is an album I finished last night, it was an order that was placed, I love the blue and green, so fresh and happy!

Award!

I was awarded this by the super talented Elisa, thank you so so much. Now for me to nominate and share, there are so many blogs that inspire me, going to have to give this one a bit of a think! Will be back later to update with my list!

pink and green comeback!

Again, I lasted a week of two maybe?? I think its just meant to be, these are just my colours and there is no escaping this combo! Anyhooooooo this is an image I stamped from Laura and were bought here, and in Ireland too, can you believe it, such cute stamps, I love them because they remind me and look like my daughter. All the cards the last few days seem to b on the "cute" side and less distressed and shabby, a change is as good as a rest, so they say! tfl, mandyxx

Blue Monday!

cute birdies, lovely blues, I smiled making this one! And I found an easy way to make scallops using a circle punch!

She made 2, LOL!!!!

its a feast or famine with me, and in this case 2 being my feast! My mojo made a brief appearance, and I made these two, lets hope it hangs around for a while, have something different I want to try, so watch this space! Tfl, mandyxx

Finally finished my album!

Mojo gone AWOL!!!!!!!!!

My mojo has gone, upt and left me, just like that, left now with no urge want or need to craft, and I am afraid it wont return sob sob, so to help me see if I can kick start it, I have ordered a pack of this to die for paper, and yes its basic grey, lol, wouldnt want to disappoint, you have to be consistant you know, and that I am. Its the euphoria collection, been ooogggling it for ages, imagining it being in my possession!! While I was shop hopping online this morning I came across it at CAS!! Woo hoo, and into the cart it fell, along with a few other BG bits and pieces ( well I couldnt leave them all alone in the store now could I, BLUSH) so fingers toes legs and arms crossed it will arrive at its new home tomorrow, along with my mojo in tow, please god! K over and out, gone to make a space amongst my other basic grey paper for it to sit! mandyxx

Wings for birthdays

made this today, setting a little midweek challenge between Sandie and myself, the only instruction was to use wings on a card. mandyxx

Distressed pink and white!

Look at this

Aren't these little bottles of paint the cutest! I love the way they have a fine nozzle and a shimmer to them, have to get my paws on this range of colours, its a "I NEED THEM", really I do!!! Imagine what I could create! Now off to price the shipping to Ireland, wish me luck!

and..................................I found this too, over here, it is so cool, of all the projects I have seen that I add to the list to try, this one is going top of my list!!! I so so love it, would make a brilliant addition to any room, lets see if I can get one done before I go having notions of making one for every room i the house LOL!!!!

WOW what a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant believe the day we had yesterday!!! It was the day we had all been waiting on anxiously, Megasummer Scrap Event with classes from the talented Donna Downey and Lance Anderson of Rusty Pickle!! Wow wow wow is all I can say, I had the bestest day ever and so lucky to have had classes from 2 of the most talented people in the business!! What classes, we did a beautiful album with Donna, using fabric, paint and loads of wonderful embellishments and a gorgeous album with a pop out ball with Lance ( i think I know qualify for an engineering degree after lances class) I learned so much! The company was great, caught up with loads of great crafty people I have met over the years, great shops, great atmosphere, the place was just buzzing! I am still on a high and cant wait to get finishing off my albums, reading my books and playing with the new stash I bought!! Going to leave you with a pic of Donna, Sandie and myself!! hugs, mandyxx

Still madly in love with Basic Grey

I swear its one thing that remains consistant with me and has done for years is my love for this paper, you can do so much with the paper alone, not to mention all the other wonderful add ons to the paper ranges!! Makes me ooohhhhhhh and aaaahhhhh everytime! I had yet another play with the sugared paper pack the other day, love the colours so much. mandyxx
