Hey Mr Snowman...

Lend me your ear, there's things I need to talk about I want you to hear...

 Go one, tell me you're not going to be singing that marvellous Kim Wilde song all day now! So, talking of things you need to hear, new Challenge at Make it Clean and Simple... Shades of Black and White. You were scared there for a minute weren't you? You thought it was That Thing On 25 December We Don't Mention. So, you'll be wondering what on earth is going on here, knowing, as you do, my absolute, complete, and utter joy at all things to do with That Thing on 25 December We Don't Mention, on any day other than 25 December. Fear not. This is not a That Thing On 25 December We Don't Mention Card. It's the last page in my ATC Journal, and I thought the colour scheme would make for a striking That Thing On 25 December We Don't Mention Page. So, move along please. No That Thing On 25 December We Don't Mention Cards to see here...

School Rules... But not yet!

Alrighty then :)

Bank Holiday yesterday. It rained. A lot. All day. Nuff said! But, we still have a week of school holidays left, so we're making the most of the time together. It will seem very, very quiet in the house when Sweet Cheeks does go back!

So, with school on our minds, the new Challenge over at Tiddly Inks seems appropriate... School Rules. I've made a page for my ATC Journal, can you believe I only have one page left to fill?! And on that note, I best go think about what I'm going to put on it...

Ellie Says Hi... Again

Hellio :)

Just popping in with a little Dies To Die For Inspiration. 

You might remember Ellie. In Pencil. I put her on an Easel Card a few weeks ago. I wasn't keen on it, so I pulled her off, and made a page for her in my ATC Journal. It had to be, as I only had a sliver of this gorgeous paper left. And I nearly cried when I stamped the 'Hey' sentiment on upside down! Luckily, I was able to switch up my design, and the booboo is now under Ellie's head. Phew!

Sunset Reject!

Hey There :)

A few weeks ago, I did a Sunset, with some Gelatos. As is the way, it took several attempts to get what I wanted, but, I couldn't bring myself to chuck away my reject sunsets. They're all sitting in a bowl, and I thought Pina Colada here would go perfectly. So, I trimmed one down, and made a little ATC Journal Page. Sorrrrrrrrted!

Seeeeeeeew fast...

Hey Peeps :)

So. Sewing Machines. Something of a revelation to me, having spent. All. My. Life. Doing everything by hand. Clothing Repairs. Clothing Alterations. Curtain Adjustments. Cushion Making. Yep. All. By. Hand.

Tsk.

But. I have discovered the joy of a Sewing Machine. And. I also discovered it's a bit like the car. Push your foot to the floor... OMG. Nuff said.

Anyway. This is Millie, she's from this month's release at C.C.Designs. And why the sewing? Little Miss Muffet Stamps... Let's Get Stitched. Just sayin'!

Banner Heidi

Don't look, don't LOOK :)

 Ok, don't say I didn't warn you. You scrolled down, didn't you. You looked. So, if your wallet is quaking in fear, it's on YOU. Pah!

Have you guessed it's time for a new Release from C.C. Designs, and I'm afraid cute just doesn't do it justice. This is Banner Heidi, she comes with a matching Outline Die, (which I haven't used.) I think she's my favourite! I've put her with some scrummy Simple Stories Homespun Papers, from Dies to Die For. Love that pad. I really don't have very much left...

Clover Butterfly Wishes

Hey Peeps :)

You can't really see it in the photo, but this image has a Colour Wash of E51 behind it. And this is how it sat on my desk, for well over (and I am not exaggerating) a year, waiting for me to finish it off. Last weekend, I was, what is described in The House of Fluff, as 'On One', and this image, at last, was finished.

Just in time for the new Anything Goes Challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps as it happens. Hmm, it's almost as if I planned it! ;)

It's a Gorjuss Party!

Whoop! :)

We're having a little party over at Sugar Nellie, to celebrate the scrummy new Gorjuss images being released. Oh yes, you read that right. New Gorjuss. If you want to join the fun, and there are prizes to be had, all you need to do, is create something Gorjuss. Anything you like. So long as it's Gorjuss. Simples.

And, so I don't need to go and stand by my Disclaimer for a change, I thought I'd dig out and old Gorjuss and play with that. Yeah, so nerr. You don't need anything new. This is Purrrrrfect Pals. With the Purrrrrfect Pal missing. I cut it off. It didn't fit my ATC Journal Page. And that's another so nerr for you!

Maybe I won't mention the new Chipboard Words from Make it Crafty. I'm feeling So Nerry, but not that So Nerry. Ok, Ok, I'll go stand by the Disclaimer. Honestly, anyone would think I'm always leading you astray...

Light My Life

Alrighty then :)

With the pages left in my ATC Journal down to nine, I figured I should put one of my all time fave images in there. *Enter Stage Left Tiddly Inks Light My Life.* I don't know how many times I have coloured up this image now, but, I still love it. That said, if I sit down and choose all my favourite images, I am thinking I might need another ATC Journal...

Be sure to pop over to Tiddly Inks and see all the other Fabulous Friday on Saturday creations, they are gorgeous!

Birthday Boy

Hey Peeps :)

 Happy Weekend! I hope you manage to get a little craft time in. With the arrival of Spring, (so long Winter, shut the door on your way out!) I'm looking at the grass and wondering if I should consider tackling it with the Mower. Naaaaaah! Bit early. Oh well, I suppose I'll do some colouring then...

Don't forget you still have time to join our All About The Boys Challenge over at Tiddly Inks. Just sayin'!

Bunny with Gift

Hey Peeps :)

Oh my gosh, how cute is this bunny? When something is that adorable, it just HAS to go in my ATC Journal. So, I made him a nice CAS page and he's quite happy.

Carrot Love

Alrighty then :)

I'm all discombobulated today. I am completely lost to a trashy novel. I cannot put it down. Consequently, I am all over the place as I try and keep up with daily basics. I've hidden said trashy novel under the bed, in the hope that out of sight is out of mind...

As you can see, I've been working on my ATC Journal again. It's beginning to look quite full, I may have to buy another. Talking of buying another, you can get your mitts on Carrot Love here, tomorrow. Just sayin'!
