birdies and puppies

Well....I am back again,
my old laptop died
and my wee netbook
is good for surfing but
a nightmare for blogging.

I have a new laptop
(Thanks Hubby!)

I am slowly getting used to
the new keyboard layout.
I keep hitting what I think is the
shift key, but it activates
the web and publishes
the post before I am done....


I also dont know how to activate
a spell check on this or facebook
when I leave a comment or write a post.
So many errors may appear
until I get that sorted out.


~~~~~T~~~~~

The next three pics are from
Kates card class at papercrafts.

Firstly.....a door hanging.
Sorry for colours, I haven't
figured out photo editing just yet either.

~~~~~T~~~~~


I love this next layered card.
It was meant to have some golden glitter on it,
but I haven't got round to that yet.

The white card is hammered,
and lifted up on foam pads.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Lastly, I really love this card.
The wee birdie is a stampin up punch.

I didn't line up my scollops properly.

~~~~~T~~~~~


Lastly....I had an amazing time at the SECC,
bumped into some friendly faces,
& thanks to a demo from the amazing Kath,
I can now use my fiskers shape cutter
that I have had for a few years
and never been able to use!!

It was mega busy on the Saturday,
and also amazing how many rude people
you can fit into such a packed place!
There was some real crazy shoppers!!!

My pal who drove me down
bought me this beautiful
Penny Black stamp.

I bought these 8 inch pre cut cards.
but to be honest they are
pretty thin & not sure I will use them
too often due to that.


Right......
a puppy update.

Bella Boo the blondie is 8 1/2 months,
and as cheeky as anything.

Now it looks like Bella and Poppy
arehaving a violent fight
but they like to play rough!
They chase each other,
hide and pounce on each other
all the time.
Teeth clack and fur is pulled....
but no tears are shed,
and they both go back for more.

This is their bed.
AKA the playpen.

Is Poppy smiling???

I love this next one the best.


Poppy fell asleep with her head resting on
Bella's paw.

Hope you are all well.
Much love Teen xx

cuddles & cards

Thank you for all my get well wishes
I am all better now.

{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}

Well the sun is shining and Poppy is happy
as her wee mate Brodie was round
and after some manic playtime
it was time for a cuddle & sleepy.
Brodie likes to sleep using
Poppy's bum as a pillow!

Anyway.....I digress.
I think I am am slowly finding my mojo...
but I think the sunshine
wins over crafting just now.

This one is made with a flower petal stamp set.
Not sure where the sentiment is from
think it was a see D stamp.

I am liking chalk smudging

for the edges just now.
The card has a slight shimmer to it.


My second card is an order.
I can't decide if it is too
plain or not......
It is for a fella.

Hope you are all fine
best go see what you have all been up to,
much love

bits & pices

I have had a busy few days.
Got a few cards done, hope you don't
mind me posting them all at once.
I am entering several challenges with them too.

First one is a house mouse sketch card.
The papers are beautiful.
It was hard to cut the one with the text on it !
I used a glue pen to add some glamour dust
to the word love, it is going in the post
to some one special soon. x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My pal Mairi has sadly lost her fantastic wee dog Ben
he was an important wee man to both Mairi
and her mum, so I made them matching cards.

I kept them simple and non fussy.
The black card has the same paw print stamped
on with versa mark.
I used silver embossing on one paw print only.

Inside I printed my message
which included this text.

It's hard when you loose a much loved
furry family member.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This card is made using Sammi's dove image
that she designed just for me for my Birthday!
How cool is that!!!

I am entering it in ABC challenge
who want it to be orderly.
So that means if you have one bit of ribbon
you must balance it with another one.
I am also entering it on A spoonful of sugar
who want a celebration card.
what better celebration than a marriage.

I love these pair of love birds!
I have layered them on black card
and put that on red paper I embossed.

My time to craft are looking for love & marriage
so thats just perfect for this card !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you know I am loving this flower stamp
very much just now, I am trying to make my
sister several cards with her fave Love is passage.

So I came up with this......
I stamped the flower using brown stazon,
coloured with distressing inks.
Used the same stayzon to stamp
the love is onto acetate.
Held it in place with brads.

The flowers are green vellum
with wee pearls in the centre.

I am entering it in Once stop challenge as effort
of a vintage card. Vintage is not my normal
at all, I am not sure it is vintage enough.

so that's me, a mixture of friendship, love,
sadness, and birthday wishes....

hope you are well.
much love teen xxx

Saturday

Don't know why I am admitting to that!

Pink & Brown on this weeks cards.

The next card started life off as this

But it was on really more squint
than I thought it was,
and I wasn't keen on all green card.

So I chopped it up a bit and
layered it on pink card.
Applied it to white base card

A few gems, and a sentiment.
Am much happier with it now.

I have had fun with new images
coming out from Crafty Muse
and will show you those makes soon.

Have a wee sneaky peek for tomorrow
Crafty Pad Challenge.

Do you know what it is.....?
