Time to craft!

I have been very lucky of the last few days and have had time in a abundance for card making the last few days.
Mike has had some time off mainly to watch the Tour of Britain as we were lucky enough for it to be in our area. Anyway it also meant that he was home to help with the children's schooling giving me a little more time to make cards.
I have made a few but wish to share a couple for now and enter them into a couple of challenges.
The first is for the One Stop Craft Challenge the theme being Beary Nice.


The image and papers are both from Cuddlybuddly.
I think the children will be giving this one to their Nanny for her birthday which will be upon as before long.

I never have the right cards about when my friends teenage daughters birthday come up so this one will be one to keep back for such an occasions.



I'm going to enter this one into the The secrect crafters Saturday Challenge this weeks theme is one for the girls.
The Image is from Pollycrafts Cherry Kisses range and the papers are from, yes you've guessed it Cuddlybuddly.
OK that's it for now I'm off to finish watching my favourite film Pride & Prejudice.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my little blog.

Late again!

I'm not very good at getting my cards made in time for the challenges.

My Orange and Chocolate below was to late by about five hours. Typical me always leaving things to the last minute but hopefully I'm just in time for this weeks Dare You To Digi Stamp challenge. I made this card this morning but had run out of glue so had to pop out to our local craft shop to pick up some more.

Anyway this is the sketch you had to follow.




and this is my card.
The image is from Pollycraft's Ginger collection and the papers are from Cuddlybuddly
Patchwork collection.
The flowers are from my stash.

OK well I'm off to link my post to the challenge, fingers crossed I'm not to late.

I Won

Wow I can't believe my luck.

I hadn't be able to get on the Internet much over the last couple of days until last night. So can you believe my surprise when I was catching up on some blogs and there in big bold type was my name Susie's son had pulled my name out of a hat and I had won this fantastic Blog Candy.
After running around the house screaming with excitement, so close to waking the little guys I left a comment for Susie and before I could email her she had already emailed me.
Thank you so much Susie I'll be waiting for Mr Posty with baited breath.

How lucky I'm I

Sorry no cards to show you at the moment although I have had chance to make a few so will hopefully post them later as I would like to enter a couple of challenges. Making the cards isn't the problem getting time to put them on my blog is.

Anyways enough of that I just had to scream it out I AM ONE LUCKY LADY, my wonderful, fantastic, amazing husband has just ordered me the whole set yes that's 92 of these wonderful babies, how fantastic is that. ( Didn't like to ask for the 56 new colours that are out as well).

This isn't the only wonderful gesture of late, he knew how much I wanted the new Christmas Popcorn Bear CD and Stamps So whilst I was at work the other week and Crafters Companion was on Ideal World with this CD and stamp set he ordered them for me. So can you imagine my surprise when two sets came with Mr posty as I also ordered set. He was really upset when he realised I had ordered them as well as he wanted to do something nice for me.

This does mean I have a spare set, I know I don't have many followers but if you do happen to fall across my blog and know of anyone who may be interested in purchasing a set please let them know I have a set for sell.
Christmas Popcorn Bear triple CD set £30.00

Christmas Popcorn Bear set of 4 stamps £15.00
Thank you for popping across from one happy girl.
