bee or butterfly?

My lovely friend Natalie at NG Cards

sent me this gorgeous card.

And some stamped images of Hanglars


I so want the stamp at the top right with wings...
I have coloured a few in
and made this card for my lovely friend Jackie
who is in hospital for an Op just now.

Is the wee lassie dressed up as a bee?



or as a butterfly?

It is done using a sketch that Dawny P did ....
her first one for PTW a good while back now.


I have added the three gem's above the text,
but took the picture before I did that.

I loved this sketch when it was a challenge
and have used it a few times since.

I made a vellum flower using a punch to make petals
and a old button as the centre.
I do love my buttons just now!

I added three onto this card for my friend S
who is having a sad time just now.

It is the first outing for my stampin up stamps from Julie.
The snow scene has I have just noticed .....
a dog hair sitting on it!
Poppy-dog strikes again!

My DT card for tomorrows Crafty Pad Challenge is finished and post.
Come on by tomorrow and have a look, and join in with us!

here's a wee sneaky peep just....well cause I know I like them!

lots of love Teen xx

too many Cards ....not enough time

I have a fair few cards I need to make over the next wee while,
1 more engagement.
2 anniversary cards
2 thinking of you cards.
3 birthday cards

but have little time and even less inspiration or energy...
I received this beautiful wallet card with stamped images from the wonderful Nessy yesterday

The images inside have given me some inspiration....
I need to get the wallet I have started for Nessy finished and sent.

sorry for the delay my lovely xx

And just now I received this beautiful wallet card from Natalie.

How do you get the glaze on the images so neat? I think I put it on too thick.....
It is just chocka full of stamped Images .....
Thanks girls .....I am sure this will get me going!!!

This is the wallet card of images I sent Natalie




I used one of the images included from Nessy in this to make an engagement card.....


I love this wizard Edwin image,....it goes so well with witchy Tilda!!!
will need to see if I can find this stamp as I could use it in lots of things.
Not your usual kinda of engagement card......but Karen & Neale will love it.

This one is a get well card.....honest! LOL my firend had a bug so had a temperature!

And this one is Birthday card for my cousins Daughter.


I love the Butterfly ribbon down the side and the daisy's I made using layered punched pearly paper.

My friend was ment to be moving house next month, so I said I would do change of address cards as a house moving gift.....she only needed a few.....

now seems she is moving tomorrow...needs help to move...and needs 48 cards!

I have made one....now printer is playing up and I am feeling overwhelmed.....

*deep breath in* EXHALE and relax.....

3 more sleeps till stitches out!

It's been another hot day, managed to do one card, had planned to do three but just couldn't settle in the muggy weather.
This one is For Nicola as you can see, first time stamping on acetate and then fixing on black card.
I managed to smudge it a wee bittie and leave a finger print on it!
But I still like it.
Even managed to post it off to Nicola today......never trust Elf post!


Poppy is doing well, if not bored by the still only being allowed on lead walks!
She is finding lots of mischief to get up to. We stripped the spare bed ,
and were about to put this quilt in the washing machine, but discovered a huge Labrador sized beg bug in it!
She still is waking up at 6am, wanting to go to the loo and then breakfast!

She was going mad wanting off the lead down the woods, she has a lot of energy building up that is usually got rid of with running and jumping and swimming.......
but not gonna get that till after her stitches have been removed on Saturday and Vets seen her.
That's gonna be a job and a half!
She won't let us near her belly.
But I am encouraging her to let me see so I can check on it each day and she is getting better at this task.....


I love this picture of them both!

This is some of the veggies we bought yesterday, I took it with a mobile I have been lent, as I have killed mine.....and it is driving me mad!
I keep hitting send on txt messages instead of space. so Folk are getting half messages!
And I couldn't get the pictures to download off it!
Andrew managed ....but there was a fair bit of cross words mumbled!!


I loved the flowers on the courgettes...so pretty.
They were also very tasty!
