pretty cute!

I am having serious laptop problems.
This machine is on it's way out
and until my new one arrives....
is driving me insane!!!

Anyway......

A few makes from this week.
A new stamp....SWALK I think.
Not sure if it is too girlie
but I kind of like it.

Allsorts want cards linked to song titles.
Well this one could be Raindrops keep falling on my head.

~~~~~T~~~~~

These next three are from a card class
over at the House of Sugar
with the lovely Kate.

I have since added some red glitter dots
and a Christmas stamp at the bottom.
But am unable to download photos
due to this naughty laptop!

~~~~~T~~~~~

I love this next card.
A glitter shaker card with
an embossed image on
lovely shimmery purple card.

A spoonful of sugar want sparkle and shine.

~~~~~T~~~~~

I love this card as well.
The backing paper is
not something I would usually use
but I really liked it.
The white card is embossed
and then burnished with chalk inks.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Now this card was a bit of a play for me.
And I am not 100% sure about it.
The poppy was stamped onto
Stampin Up card stock and
then fine embossed.

It is my challenge card for
Creative Card crew as they want Blooms.


Now............
over to some cuteness.
Blondie (AKA Bella) and her best mate
Poppy spend all their time together.
They are both at dog class together
this week too. Poppy has been taking time
off while Bella catches up.
It is too much to work them both
but Hubby is free on Wednesday
evening so his is going to
work Bella all this month.
Bella works ok for me until
she sees Hubby then just stops.
She just sits and cries until
she can get to him!

Hope you are all well.
much love Teen xx

Black & Red

Edit* I have only just realised how similar
this card is to one I saw on Curts page.
I loved how bold the black and white was.
Thank you for the inspiration Curt.



I loved this butterfly stamp!
it is one of a set from Crafty Pad.


I really enjoyed being a DT member last year
and the butterfly is one a few stamps
I the most on a regular basis.

I decided when making this card
for a girl friend that I would see what the
challenge was this week over at CP.
I haven't done any challenges
for a long while
It is charms....so i made a wee heart charm
into a wee key ring and added it on.
I wanted the person it is for to be able to
use the charm afterwards without
damaging the card by taking it off.
The white stamping is done on acetate
with white stayzon.


This next card is for a friend.

It is never easy making sympathy cards.
But I know that if someone
took time to make me one,
it would help me feel better.....

The poppy is papaermania stamped
onto red card and layered up with a brad.

I don't normal do stamping on the inside
but i have both remembrance stamp sets
and I love this little sweet stamp.

I am almost done with my acetate
card phase I think! LOL.

It is just a pain waiting for the ink to dry
and I am not always able to resist
temptation in touching it to check....

hence the smudges on it!

I used the bigger dog paw print on the back
and wee ones on the front....

I love these stamps.
Can't remember who makes them...

and last but not least....
after a two hour trek around the woods,

you end up with this...........

My Poppy Dog was resting for a short while
but normal service was resumed
rather quickly after this was taken!

have a great weekend
hugs and love

Poppies for Remembrance

Poppies for Remembrance

For The Fallen

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

— John McCrae
