Bunny Mother's Day


Hello friends. It is my turn to inspire you with more cuteness from Naz.

This sweet image is Bunny Mother's Day.



I found another yummy My Mind's Eye paper pad in my stash and coloured the image with Promarkers to  match. I was lacking inspiration for a layout so visited Jule's Sketch Library and used #15.

Hope to see you soon xx

Christmas with the Cutie Pies

Happy new week everyone!! I am not so happy as it's back to work for me today following annual leave last week...boo hoo!!

Anyway,  less of that and more of this




The new challenge theme is

No man like a snowman (full details here)


I used  a CC Designs snowman that was a Christmas pressie from a dear crafty buddy (thank you ever so much xx).  He was so easy to colour and his cute specs cried out for glossy accents, which actually shows up in the photograph!! The dies that feature are from Lawn Fawn And Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Well, that's another Christmas card to add to the pile. I hope you will join in and add another card to your own collection for this year...it is only ten months away!!!

Whatever this week throws at you I hope it is a good one.

See you tomorrow  xx

AYLI...what else can you do??!!

Hello everyone!! A big oops from me and apologies to my team mates at


I forgot to schedule my own post for our new challenge which is

What do you make other than cards...and why?

I have dabbled in all kinds of crafts including sewing, knitting, embroidery, jewellery making and cross stitch and over the last few years I have taught myself to crochet. My current "work in progress" is my biggest piece to date...a blanket. I am just about half way through the blanket itself and then have a pretty border to add so I reckon it will be keeping us warm at night by next winter!! I have taken much inspiration from Lucy at Attic 24 so if crochet is something that you fancy having a go at then I highly recommend her easy to follow patterns and informative blog to get you started. 



The kit for my blanket can be found here.

Check out the main challenge blog for some  inspiration  from my team mates. Hope to see you there, if I'm not sacked that is!!

Hope this week is being kind to you and that you have stayed safe during storm Doris that visited the UK today.

Until next time xx

Birthday Meg for Sasayaki Glitter


Hello crafters. In my quest to actually "use" my papers instead of hoarding them I came across the pretty ones I used on my card today. 


They are Belle and Boo,  by Trimcraft and give just the right amount of "party" to compliment Meg who I am showcasing today.  She was coloured with Promarkers to match the papers. I also got out my Press cut stepper die for the base so hope this will be suitable for the current Ooh la la Challenge ( thank you Janice, Meg and Pauline for inspiring me!!)

 Thank you for your visit today. See you soon xx

Simply Love with The Cutie Pie Challenge


Happy new week crafters. Hope you are keeping warm/cool depending on where in the world you are!! It has been frrrrreezing here and we actually had a flake or two of snow on Saturday, much to my excitement! Sadly not enough to make a snowball!!

Anyway, I am here to share the love with my inspiration for the new


I used an image from our sponsor (details on the challenge blog here)



She was coloured using Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens (shhhh don't tell my Promarkers) to match the  Tiny Tatty Ted papers. The sentiment is from an LOTV set.

I do hope that you will join us.

Until next time, take care xx
