cheers!

A big thank you with
and even bigger thank you tag!


Since hubby started his new job,
and is no longer around to take
the girlie dogs on their afternoon
walk, we have started them with
a dog walker once a day.

Our usual fab dog walker
was going to be on holiday but her
friend would be able to fill in for her.

Then at weekend Miss Bella Boo
sliced a huge chunk of her pad off
on her back paw, cutting into an artery
and was a very poorly girl.

I did manage to swap shifts and days off
so that I was at home with her for the first week
but the following week, our relief dog walk
did us a huge favour!

Bella spent the day at her house,
including the morning sitting outside
a cafe, enjoying the fuss of everyone
as they came for coffee!!

So as a thank you,
a bottle of her favorite tipple
and a tag to decorate it!

The tag is huge, honest!
Its not just a tag and
a miniature of gin!

Base stamping is a pale brown
of memento ink, then darker brown
butterflies and some copper heat
embossed butterflies to finish.

The poorly pup,
who is now well on the mend!
Resting her leg on the first evening.

It's the sad wee face and big brown eyes
that get me every time!

Taking it easy.....

Now down to a smaller bandage,
but a nightmare keeping it clean and dry
in this awful weather.

The vets dress it twice a week,
I dress it usually twice in between
due to the dressing getting soaked,
muddy,
or just plain falling off!

We have now got five different doggy boots,
none of which fit properly
after the padding of the vets dressings!
So an empty IV bag does the trick!

Hope you are grand
Love Teen xx

pink feathers altered notebook

Hiya, how you doing ?
Hope you are managing to stay dry
with all this never ending rain.....

I have a real thing about altering notebooks right now.
Ever since we did some at the
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun days
with Kath, Anne & Debbi.

This one is a gift for someone very special.
The stamps are Hero Art's and I have loved
them since I first saw them at the
last GJWHF day in Perth.

The tag is also the book mark.

I love the sentiment, but I do wish
they didn't have the lines around the words.

The front cover.

So this must be the back.....
the wee made by Teen stamp
was made just for me
by the Beautiful Sammi.
( thank you chickie!)

I am nae sure about the letter B.
It was brown card that I heat
embossed with a pearl powder.

new home birdie

Typical.....
I have made my craft room
into a spare room for a friend to stay,
and I have loads of ideas of things to make
and time to play with my new inks and stamps.


Another friend is moving into her
new home, after many weeks
of alterations keeping her
at her Mam's house.
She loved my home made jams,
so a gift bag with jams in it
will be delivered to her new door!

I will be honest,
it is not how I imagined it to end up.
But I quite like it.

I don't like making the bags
themselves too fussy,
so the eye is taken
to the tag itself.

Hope you are all grand
Much love Teen xx

Aged 39 and 363 days......

hearts and flowers

It has been a funny crafty time for me today.....
I have one card I made here that ended up
nothing like the sketch I was following....

But I am going to enter it in
Scrapbook sisters challenge who want
flowers, ribbon and gems.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This one was meant to have a red & white
gingham heart on it, but the papers looked
awful with the red ribbon I wanted to use,
so it was replaced with this wee sugar nellie
I found in half coloured on my desk!

I also managed to tear the wee heart at the
edge of the white card I had punched.
But I still like this card.

Colour create challenge wanted Kraft/red with white or cream.


~~~~~T~~~~~

Lastly.....my friend Anita makes the most scrummy
cupcakes and gives them as gifts in fab boxes.
She asked me to make a tag before.
These are some more I made based on the
boxes Anita uses.

Pink and white roses,
red and white dots,
pink gingham,
and blue gingham.

I also bought her some
"Made by Anita" printed ribbon
from crafty ribbons.

Pixie Dust want tags this week!

Hope this finds you well.

much love Teen xx

Crafty Ribbons # 17

First of all thank you for the emails
asking if I was ok.
I didn't mean to worry anyone.

I am doing not too bad,
been busy with stuff....
and lack of MOJO again.
Bad combo.

Anyway....

Here are my (late as usual )
Crafty Ribbons Challenge cards.

I loved this Swiss Dot organza Ribbons!

You get so many beautiful ribbons to play with,
if you haven't given this challenge a go,
you need to check out their web site,
today is also Freebie Friday.

Anyway.....here are my cards.

This one is made of a stampin up stamp
and punched out circles.
You can't see it but the black card has a
lovely texture on it.

I used different thickness's of foam
pads to give the circles different heights.

~~~~~T~~~~~


Next an altered CD using my fave new
Sugar Nellie stamp.

There are wee white dots on her tee shirt.

~~~~~T~~~~~

I usually find I have real favorites
when my bag of ribbons arrive,
but there was just sooooooo
many to choose from.


A wee gift tag, the heart on the
white card is enhanced with glitter
sukura pen.

~~~~~T~~~~~


This one is the one I like the best.
It is Magna Sugar Nellie stamp
that I love. I cut out the mistletoe
they are hugging below.



Well that's me....
I have more to show you,
but need to go & see what you have all
been up to!



Hope you are are well.

love Teen xx
