the good, the bad and the downright naughty!

Yesterday was ment to be a crafty day with Amanda
but that's now going to be tomorrow!
I even got us some new Gorguss Girls to stamp with!
They are now availably to buy as single stamps.
They are still in their wrappers till tomorrow.
But I have had a wee colour in thanks to Debbi sending me some images!!!

I have had some beautiful cards and images sent to me by some lovely girlies.
Will get them photographed and blogged as soon as I can.

My Lap top is now home!!!
woooooooo hoooooooooooo
It has just been way too cold to sit at the PC upstairs for too long
so haven't been keeping up with you all!

And now the naughty..........
yes you guessed it....Miss Poppy-dog!

I have sat making my Lovely friends Briony & Charlie a baby card.
I bought the template, got the thick card,
cut it out and covered it in pretty pink baby papers.
Inked all the edges....left them to dry

I heard a chewing noise from behind me.
Poppy had pinched the letter B and was happily chewing away at the corner!!
When I roared at her......she just looked at me......
and then spat out the corner of the letter!


Andrew says she was trying to make the B into a P for Poppy!!!
he was on night shift and so Poppy goes into guard do duty!
And at 5 am she came upstairs with a packet of crisps
she had found downstairs and smacked me on the head with it!
She was hopeful for breakfast!!!
she so didn't get breakfast!

Easter challenge

Well it's ALMOST Easter and over at
Crafty Muse we would like you to:

create an EASTER project :)

We have not had a freebie image for a while and so it's about time right ...
The only condition of you taking the image??
Please use it to enter our current challenge
(oh and please mention on your blog
where it came from)
so Hop on over to Crafty Muse
and pick up your freebie today!

I have used two of the free images on this card,
Angelique and Millie as bunnies on an egg hunt!
I used promarkers and glitter.
Am loving these soft pastel spring color just now.

And for my Friends Nan & Paul who celebrated Oestra
with the Spring Equinox last week
I used the Dragon download from Sammi
To make this card.

The base card is a cream leather effect
so I spritzed it with metallic paint
And hope it looks like dragon hide!

The green dragon's eggs are a
shimmery green pearl card.
I love the poem on it,
It sums up spring to me.

rainy days & puddles

I haven't been around much for a couple of reasons this last week or so,
thank you for all my emails asking where I have been!
I have just had this yucky cold again and then my laptop went and died on me.
I am lucky enough to have another computer in the house
but TBH I do most of my surfing while I am watching TV
downstairs in the evenings, and it's been a bit cold up here!

I am also finding that I am quite tired in the evenings after work,
and my evening class and one late shift a week
is seriously getting in the way of my crafting mojo!! LOL

I have managed to get a few bits done.
Have finsihed two Dt cards for Sammi for Crafty Muse
which will be shown here tomorrow.

Have started my Crafty Pad one for Sunday.
And started sorting my stuff to go see Amanda for some crafting on Thursday!!! woooooooohooooooooo

Here is a card for a lassie who is feeling a wee bit down in the dumps just now....


i am also entering it for this challenge at
Colour Create #8 as this week it is navy, turquoise & lime!
The image is Maggie and the sentiment is Hobby Art.
I have used distressing inks to colour it and am happier with how it is coming along!

here are two wee sneaky peakies of my crafty muse cards for tomorrow.....


This one might be more of a huge peek than a sneaky one!!!



Card class tonight and I am off all this week so I have plans to do some serious crafting .....

Much love

Briony

As I told you earlier on this week,
Two very special people
Briony & Charlie became parents!

It has been a long time coming,
and not an easy journey.
Harriet was born after a high risk pregnancy.
This is my card to her Mummy
who has taken her baby girl home
in times for Mothers Day!

The yellow centre shimmery card is the size of a cd,
the butterfly is my fave from Crafty Pads stamps.
The petals were embossed using my cuttle bug
And the embellishments are buttons, pearls & gems.

It says to Hattie's Mummy!

Today is never an easy day for me.
We have tried for almost 15 years to become parents.
But today. ....
I can't describe the joy that is in my heart for Briony & Charlie.
They have been such supportive friends to me and Andrew,
Through various events in all our lives.
We have known them for a long time now.
And they are like family to to me.

But today......I will be saying many thanks for the precious

Baby Harriet!

My love to all Mum's today,
to people who would love to be Mum's
to Mum's all ages who miss thier children.
And to children of all ages who miss thier Mum's.

Gift to Sammi & James

As you know Sammi, James and Brooke move away down south tomorrow.

They got married on Saturday, this is my Wedding Card to them.



The heart is from Sketching stampers that was kindly given to me by Teresa.
Thank you very much!


And as well as vouchers so they can get what they want when they are all moved into their new home.......I gave them this.



It matches in with their card.

I couldn't give it to them till after I printed off wedding photo.
I have added a tartan bow from their wedding cake and added it on to it.


Sammi's colour's were deep red and white.
That's her invitation behind the Sammi & James place cards.
I wrote them out for all the table settings at the meal,
and did two spare ones to put in here.



I am not so keen on the centre of the flowers but couldn't put the centres
I wanted in due to it being under glass.

I love this verse....not sure where I first found it.
I have used it a few times now.



Their wedding rings are platinum,
the small small hearts on the place cards &
on the invites are silver so the frame picks up on that.
The is 12 x 10 " from Asda!
I will get some more of these as they are a fine size for scrap pages.
I am not sure who makes the backing papers
but they are sliver with deep grey writing on it.
