three ladies

I never did get pictures on here
from the four days
of Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

But two of the "ladies" below were from
the third and fourth days I think.

The one on the square box with
the three bobbins with pink, green & blue
thread was made with the kit I bought on the day.

I have so many half finished projects in my room,
I am trying my best to get some of them finished.

Thank you to everyone who asked
how Miss Bella Boo was after
she hurt her paw.

As you can see she is all better,
and back to being as cheeky as ever!

Here she is, enjoying some luxury treats.

Not sure she is very keen on sharing....

But Poppy will not be one to miss out!

Hope you are grand,
Love Teen xx

sick as a dog

I made these hangers yesterday,
and had planned to go to
the craft shop and get some more
to make for pressies,
but woke up this morning
as sick as a dog!

So no more hangers to be made this week.

This one is painted with a base coat of
Anne Sloan chalk paint,
which is just a treat to use.

And this one,
is stained using Tim Holtz inks.
The ink ended up looking
green rather than the blue it is
if you use it on paper.
But I liked it anyway.

The main stamp under the sentiment
is a penny black that I found,
after it was long lost
in the midden
formally known as my craft area....

The idea is based on a project from the last
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun day,
which was so much fun.

well...
Hope you are all doing good this Monday xx

Love Teen xx

thanks a bunch

Last bunch of thank you cards....
I made others but posted them with out
remembering to take photos!
DUH!


Some more 10cm easel cards.
I really like these wee cute sizes.
All made using craftwork card papers.

I like this one, flower stamp is from a See D set.

This one..... I am not so sure off,
It looks nothing like I had imagined it would.

Last one of the small cards.
I love the flower, stamped onto backing papers
and wording just shows through the
promarkers I used to colour.

Might add some more to this,
but really like the pearls in the centre.

Two bigger cards,
This one is for the folks at my work,
need to give it another tap
to get rid of the excess glamour dust.

Last one.....Honest!
I really like this one.
No idea who this will be for!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Back to work for me tomorrow.
much love Teen xx

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!



~~~~~T~~~~~


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.


~~~~~T~~~~~

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

bit of this and that!

Hello, hello!
I trust this finds you all happy & well.

Three cards and three doggy photo's to share
with you before I go wondering to
catch up with you all.

A card for a lady at work with a special birthday.
This was bigger than normal for me, an 8 x 8 inch
since it was everyone in the dept to sign.

The butterfly die drove me nuts! I am not sure
if it is a duff die or what, but it protests at even
cutting through vellum!!!
It is my entry in the
~ Papertake weekly challenge ,
who want die cuts,
and my first entry in Flutter by Wednesdays
who want a butterfly on the card.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This one was sent with my cheque to Debbi
with my payment to the next Girls just wanna have fun day!
Are you going?
I loved the last one, and can't wait till October!

I am nae happy with the ribbon flower
at the top of the card, the button
is too wee and it just looks a bit faffy! lol.

~~~~~T~~~~~

The last card, I really like.
But the photo is awful!
I took it at the last moment before
I left for work, and it shows!

I have also just noticed that the wee
owl charm is facing the wrong way!

I am enetering this card in the Creative Inspiration challenge
who want text, but not a sentiment on a card!
( thanks Nat!)

~~~~~T~~~~~

So..... time for a doggy photo update!
Miss Poppy-dog has taken to claiming the foot
stool under the window.....
mainly to stop Bella getting up on it!

Which Miss Bella-Boo is not best pleased with!

But they still love each other....
Most of the time!

I hope you are all grand.
Much love

getting old

I had a fabtastic
(yes that is my word just now....)

from online. x

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

Another lassie at work,

GG tags I got in Inverness.

She wants to run and play with
Poppy.....

Hope you are all grand.

Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day!
Have for makes to show you today,
but having problems typing,
I managed to slice my finger yesterday
with a huge knife so
my typing is worse than normal!

who is now just over 5lbs in weight,
and just a wee sweetie!



First of all .....
this card is for her Mummy Amy.

This card is for my mate to give to her mum.

to have been someone's Mummy,

love Teen xxx

great niece!

Second post of the day!
I know.....no posts in weeks
and then two come along....



Two weeks ago today
my nephew & his lovely girlfriend
had a beautiful baby girl!

Aliesha Teanna
was born 4 weeks early
and a petite
4lbs 11 1/4 ounces!

She got home today, which
was just amazing !
I can't wait to have a cuddle
as only mum's and dad's were

allowed to hold the special care baby's.
I did get to see her
and stroke her hair!

Anyway.....some cards to celebrate!
One for her parents!

Sugar nellie stamp which I just love.
Totally Gorjuss want buttons on a card.


~~~~~T~~~~~


One for my sister who is now Granny !
This time a sugar nellie download.
This baby is much rounder than Aliesha!

~~~~~T~~~~~


And for my parents,
this is their first great grand daughter.

Papertake weekly want three of something
well this card as three lilac punched hearts on it.

~~~~~T~~~~~


And lastly
my first niece who is now an Auntie.
It really does not seem like a few

years since Becca was
born and made me an Auntie
for the first time.

Another sugar nellie stamp!
Do you think I love these stamps or what!
I have had this maggie stamp for ages
so it fits Oldie but Goodie perfectly!
They want a baby card this week.


~~~~~T~~~~~


I am still loving the brown bags
for gift bags.

I am entering the tag to truly scrumptious
who wants tags this week.

Anyway.....hope you are all fine!
much love
Teen
or Great Auntie Teen as it is now!!!

friends with ewe!

I am sorry for not being around,
things have been a bit hectic here.

Anyway......
one wee card and then I must
upload all my other photos
and get things sorted.
The challenge over at
Crafty Pad
closes tonight at 8 pm
and I didn't want this card
that I started the other day
only to finish ten minuets ago
to be yet another challenge
card that past the deadline!

They wanted buttons,
so I used wee buttons to cover
the wee sheepies fleece.
It is a crafty pad stamp
called Shelly Sheep & Twitter.

pixie dust want you to go green
and although the photo is rubbish
the backing papers
are actully a pretty mint green.
Scrapbook sisters want spring flowers.
Creative card crew also want green on
the cards this week.


Hope you are all grand,
and thank you for the emails
asking if I was ok.
many hugs
