happy girls haven fun!

Happiness for me on Saturday
was spending the day crafting at the
"Girls just wanna have fun" day,
with Debbi, Anne & Kath.

Here are my makes.

Debbi's promarkers session.
A pen pot holder and a notebook covered.

We had the option to colour
the wee pearls, but as Debz said....
It was our notebook! !
LOL.

The second workshop for me
was the majestic grunge bag!

It was senciled and cotton shapes applied.

I have never done anything like this,
and bought two bags to try it at home.
I made the corners a bit more muddy
than I wanted but loved the end product.

And last but not least.
A Tim Holtz Home sweet home canvas.

If you get a chance to attend a day organised
by these three amazing ladies then jump at it!


Now my lovely happy girls.

Poppy is nearly always so serious!

And Bella.....
not so much so.....
she chewed my glasses on Saturday,
and a dog lead chewed through today.....

*sigh*
It is just a stage,
it is just a stage...........

getting old

I had a fabtastic
(yes that is my word just now....)
day at the Girls just wanna have fun workshop
run by Kath, Debbi & Anne.
Will post pics of that soon!


It was lovely to see familiar faces
and put faces to girls I know
from online. x

This retirement card is for a male friend.
I loved this bugaboo digital image.

I am entering this card in ~
Creative Card Crew challenge ~ Anything goes.

I made a wee hamper as a pressie,
full of home made yummies.

hope you are all grand!

Hapy Birthday Mop in Law xx

Today is my Mother in Law Birthday
or Mop as the family calls her.

This card is made using an idea of a card
at Kate's card class over at the House of Sugar.

The flower was stamped with blue and green ink
then embossed with clear fine detail powder.
I used the same inks on shrink plastic.

Challenges I am entering this card in ~
My Time to Craft ~ die cuts.
Truly Scrumptious say anything goes.

Got to end on a pic of
my fave brown eyed girls.

sleepy eyes more like it!
Hope you are all grand.
Much love

WOYWW butterflies and boots.......

Wednesday again already....
I am turning into my mother
"where do the days go?"

ANYWAY............

WOYWW

This is what I am wroking on today.
It is based on a design I saw the other day,
I don't know what you call this style,
but it is something special for my
much older sister
who is turning 50 next month.....
Even though she is ten years older
than me.....it does not mean
that I will be 40.....

Moving swiftly back to the card.
Tiets has this beautiful fold of a card
over on the Ribbon girl Challenge.
I have seen some of Tiets work before
and it is just stunning!

I am not sure how well my one will work,
the base card is slightly too thick
and I should have done an extra wee fold
to allow for it to fold properly.
It is still a work in progress.


Another work in progress.....

Miss Bella-Boo.....
she is a funny wee dog!
You ask her if she wants to go
for a walk and she gets up and collects
you her lead or some shoes....

This is her with my Hubby's walking boots...
yeah......both of them !!!
She can carry a fair load!
She even helps you pull
each lace to open them.

Happy Wednesday!
Love Teen xxx

cakes and makes.

I have been busy with baking
this last wee while.
Muffins and cupcakes have found
their way into work.
These were carrot cake with
vanilla cream cheese frosting.

And a last batch of roast beetroot chutney
until new beets come into season.

The colour of this was just amazing,
the smell of hot vinegar not so much!


~~~~~T~~~~


Have made a few cards too.

This one was from a stamp that
had all nine wee dog pictures
all on the same frame.

I decided to cut each wee frame out
coloured the dogs and layered
each wee stamp up before sticking down.


~~~~~T~~~~~


Slightly different but same idea for
the end result.

The next card was one a friend asked
me to make, her friend was retiring
and looking forward to traveling,
now he has no ties to keep him at home.
He has no pets but a wormery!
She asked for worms and a passport.....

Two birthdays in one week.
My sister's son Martyn
and my Brother's daughter Eilidh
have birthdays two days apart.
They were both 18 this year.

Eildih's card was one we made
in Kate's class at the House of Sugar.
As soon as I saw the card I decided to
keep it for Eilidh.

Pixie Dust want shiny cards this week,
so mirror card I think applies.
Lili of the valley want ribbons and bows.

~~~~~T~~~~

Last card is my take on

It is also my take on Erika's sketch
over at Sugar Nellie, including optional extra
of making it distressed.

Cute card Thursday want some distressing too.
Crafty pad want spots & dots,
the spotty paper is I think paper mania.
My time to craft want some scalloping.
(is that even a word?)

I am trying to keep up with blogging
and just when I found time
Blogger was being naughty!!

I hope you are all well.
Much love Teen xx
