Poorly Poppy

Poor Poppy has not been so well this weekend.
Think she had eaten something she shouldn't have done!
She was sick a few times but still wanted to eat.....
But when she did eat she was sick.....

So poor Pops has been on no food,
then just rice and then rice & chicken
for a day or so while till her tummy settled down.
She was not happy about this at all!!

She did however play very energetically
with Brodie yesterday!

Brodie's mum loved her framed photo!
And Shirleyanne is also doing Weight watchers
so she didn't get an Easter Egg either....
we gave her a jar of our home made
pickled onions that she loves!!!
not your usual Easter gifts but hey hoe!

Got a couple of cards done,
but missed the deadlines.

This one was from
Just Christmas & Birthday cards
by my lovely friend Mada....
I am cross at myself for not getting it emailed on time
but they do have a new sketch out today!!
It being entered in Colour Create who want
Chocolate , Coffee & Cream.
they gave added option of distressing,
but I forgot!!! LOL

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

I loved the colour combo so much
I did this card using similar shades.
I tried using distressing inks and H20's
to add colour after stamping it up
with brown versa fine.
I would love to be able to do it
as a black lab puppy like Poppy.
But have no success in colouring in black at all.
Any tips ??


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

This last one is from sketch & stash challenge
from last week, I loved it and will use it again.
Too late with this one as well.
But it will be getting popped in the post
to someone special soon.

Cute Card Thursday want
Marshmallows and Chocolate
or pink and brown on cards this week.
This beautiful image was sent to me by Vanessa.
Thanks you my lovely !

Can anyone tell me.....
if you are not part of the Magnolia Club,
can you still buy these spring ones anywhere?

Hope you are all well.
Am off to be, early start for me,
and a 5.30 am alarm for Andrew.....

Chocolate & Cream

As you know Poppy Dogs best wee pal is Brodie.


Brodies Mum Sue gave us Easter Eggs.
But since she has just started at Weight Watchers
we didn't want to get her chocolate in return.

But we did discover my hubby
had taken this beautiful photo of Brodie
on our Chocolate leather sofa!

So we got it printed properly and
popped it into a lovely dark brown frame!

Hope she loves it as much as we do!

Crafty Pad 17 ~ New Belinda Stamps

Happy Easter to everyone -
over at Crafty Pad we are introducing
Belinda
and we have a lovely sketch for you
- nice oval
just the shape of those yummy easter eggs. :)

You may twist or turn it anyway you like
as long as we can see the basic sketch...
you may also add extras if you like. :)

I have used Belinda with Cupcake.
Cupcakes are very popular this year!


There are 4 images of this cute wee lassie
and a border set thats only 90p!!!
For the two of them!!!



I have used dovecraft papers from
my lovely bloggy mate Amanda
Coloured Belinda with pro markers.
The butterfly ribbon down the side is one
Crafty Ribbons new Spring range.
The pretty blue one across the
page is from Poppicrafts.
And this is my first time using card candy.
They are bigger than I thought they would be,
easy to use and very pretty.


As usual this challenge is open to everyone
and there is a wee prize
if you enter using one of Crafty Pads stamps.

Sunny Saturday Photos.

Today is a beautiful Sunny day in Moray.
I loved sitting in outside with Miss Poppy Dog.


Our garden just now is a cross between a
beautiful assortment of plants of all colours & shapes
all brought out with the sunshine of Spring....

and a construction site where
Miss Poppy is busy digging holes.

Think this one is going to be a pond....

This used to be our herb garden.


It still has a bay bush in it,
which is now used to run round
in a mad doggy circuit!

It amazes me how many different daffodils
there are out & about,
from big single yellow trumpets


To double heads that are cream and yellows.

to wee tiny ones the size of my thumb nail.


And when you are trying to take a photo in my garden.....

There is always a Poppy dog getting involved!!!

Thanks for looking!

Good Friday

Over at Crafty Muse we are looking for
you to do a thank you or a good luck card,
I have used Angelique on a Cupcake.

I made the diggie download to fit inside the card.
The base card is a lovely shimmery pink.

She is coloured using promarkers
and i have added glitter to the cupcake and her wings.
The buttons are from my stash and the leaves
were from my lovely blogger pal Dawn.

where did this week go?

Been a quiet week here
Have been laid up with a dreaded
chesty type lurgy.

My hubby has been on holiday from work
but spent it looking after me!!
He came home yesterday after getting
the shopping with my favorites
chicken noodle soup
& a lemon muffin for me ....
and these beautiful red roses!!!

I got up feeling better today
to discover I was ment to have
my Crafty Muse DT card
to Sammi ....erm...yesterday!
It is posted on the blog tomorrow!!!
Here is a wee sneaky peek.....

Thought I had better get my Crafty Pad DT card done too.
Debbie has been busy with new
stamps for us to play with!

So that's me up to date....
Have lots of new stamped images
I swapped with Amanda
But haven't done anything with them yet.
Am back to work tomorrow
planning some crafting this weekend.

Hope you are all well!
much love teen xx
