Ally's Famous

I'm sorry I just can't resist in sharing my news with you all.

As reported previously Ally had his Birthday party at Frontline Combat.

Well while we were there the owner took a few pictures and after looking through he asked if it would be OK to use this one on the new leaflet and advert in the local school magazine .

Wow Ally was soooooo excited when we went into town at the weekend only to bump into Matt and the team handing out the leaflets.

Ally was so made up armed with a handful of them, he took them to school to give to his friends.

Penny Black Challenge - Week 190

Back this week with my card for the Penny Black Challenge.

After so many lovely comments from the wonderful design team,

it would be rude not to come join them again.

Not forgetting all the other lovely comments from my lovely followers,

it's so very much appreciated.

This week we had a lovely sketch challenge to follow.

I have used a some papers from a little stack a papers I had, sorry I can't see a name on it but's very nice. I have used another of the StickerRoos I had hiding in my draw, oh they are soooo pretty, now I know why I have had them hidden.

Cricut Workshops

Hi Back again today. Sorry to disappoint you all no card. I have my two long days at work Tues/Weds so no me time. I thought what a great time to tell you all about my news. Well the lovely Jo Channon (yes as seen on Create and Craft) from Let's Create at Coningsby, has asked me if I would do some Cricut classes over at her shop. Wow what a lovely welcome I had too, full classes both times and hope to make it a regular thing. My next class is going to be on the Cricut Design studio, and before you all start shouting Craftroom. As you all know it's great but only if you can have internet connect where ever you are, unfortunately we don't. I Love the Cricut Design Studio for that reason, it's portable and can be seen on the large screen. It just opens a whole new outlook on the Cricut and lets you untilise your cartridges to mix them together. So if you or anyone you know might like to join us please don't hesitate to contact me or Jo (or Mark at the shop).

Penny Black Challenge - Pearls & Lace

Hi Back today with a couple of cards I have made this time for the Penny Black saturday challenge - Pearls & Lace. I have used some stickeroo's I have had for sometime but just not wanted to use them as they are soooo lovely. Well as I keep telling myself you have to use things and stop buying more (oh I can hear that little voice in my ear!!!!). I'm sure many of you have the same idea one to use one to stroke.

I have used:- Stickeroo's - Flower field Lace & Burgundy ribbon from my little collection Pearls are made using thePearl Maker pen (Lou to blame for making me have them) lol !!Red and orange pearl card from my stash I have also used my MS boarder punch

Sketch Challenge & Butterfly and Lace Challenge

Today I have a card to share with you that I’ve had lots of fun making. My Pal came over to see me yesterday and we spent most of it chatting and looking at the lovely Stampin up stuff I got for my Birthday. Ummmm I found some beautiful papers to use on this card, for my little collection. I made the butterfly up a little while ago and was waiting for that special card to use it on. It was created with a stencil and paste, then a sprinkle of glitter to make it sparkle, sparkle it does. I have used the sketch over on Fetch A Sketch so would like to enter it in there wonderful challenge. I would always like to enter it in this month’s challenge over on Going Buggy which is Butterfly and Lace. Thanks for popping in and watch this space we may even get another posting before the months out.!!!! but don't hold your breath
