buttons, bunnies and dots.

I am trying to keep my spare room,
or as it is now,
my craft room tidy.
A friend is coming to stay on
Friday for a few days.....
but I have had a couple of things to make.
And it looks like a a bomb has gone
off in there again!!!
Ach well.....
I will soon get it sorted again.

Righto.....

a pen pot holder requested
by a bunny crazy friend.
I made this from a recycled cardboard
tube that is like a really hard, bigger inside
of a loo roll, from a label machine at work
These get binned when we change the roll.

I will be after a few more of these!!!

Sugar Nellie Cotton Bunny.
No idea what the papers are.

I learned a few new tips
for colouring using pro & flexmarkers
when I was at Debbi's class on Saturday.

I have had this beautiful ribbon for ages,
I can't remember where I got it,
and was loathed to cut it,
but needs must!

Talking about Debbi, and her fabby colouring....
I was chuffed to bits to get this
bonnie card from the Queen of Promarkers herself.

I keep practicing colouring hair......
But how beautiful and shiny does it look
on Debbi's card!

A late show......
A Kath inspired birthday card
for the birthday girl Kath!!
who also did a fab demo and class on Saturday!

Using a wee Sugar Nellie.

~~~~~T~~~~~

And another Kath inspired card
for my lovely friend Anita.

The bright colours match
Anita's personality.

Lastly.....
my little blood donor......
who is all recovered,
and loved the fact she got steak
in her evening meal for
a few days.

the first night it was just biscuits
she looked at it,
looked over at Poppy's dish....
and then looked back at me.....

"Where did the good bits go???"


I hope you are all grand.
Much love Teen xx

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!

Hello, hello.......

first card to show you was a real
labour of love.
A friend from work
wanted a special card for her Mam.
The names are as she wanted them.
Only request....
daffodils.

I have never worked with paper
flowers like this before....

since it was a special card
I made a box to case it in.

It was my good friends Birthday today,
we are always joking that it is
"not all about you."

To end with two brown eyed beauties
who it is always all about.

my Blondie baby will be one next week.
Can not believe it has come round so soon.

Quick question....
anyone have top tips
for securing paper onto canvas?

Hope you are all well.

much love Teen xx

Babes and Blooms

You know what it is like....
you make a few cards,
some you like....
and some not so much....


This one I do like.
Lady at work is very prompt with
keeping her filing up to date
and called the file fairy by
her co-workers.
She is also very fit.

So this was for her.....

This one I am very unsure of.
I have seen similar cards
with the paper cut into squares
and stuck in the pattern below.

The paper is Bo Bunny,
and more busy than I usually use,
But I think it looks sort of ok.
The flower is cut from Tim Holts die.

This one is using a down load called Stella
from Bugaboo, I love them!

Stella with a different hair colour!
LOL

Now for another couple of babes....
My wee brown eyed girls.
Bella managed to get into the
recycling box, where my Hubby
had put the empty sacks
the dog biscuits come in....

This took her about twenty minuets....

She also stole the plant from the table
and replanted it,
in several bits,
in a nice deep hole....

Bella is 6 months old,
and now just a wee bit taller
and longer than Poppy!

Am pretty tired today,
Andrew was on a night shift,
Poppy woofed at 1.30am
to let me know that she had scared
off the scary monster....

Bella woke me at 6am by poking Andrews
touch bedside lamp with her nose
and switching it on and off,
and on and off,

Like a disco!!!

*yawn*

Hope you are all well.

Love Teen xx
