Polka Dots and Pastels

Hello everyone. 

It's the start of the July challenge at

and I love this theme

Polka Dots and Pastels- full details on the challenge blog here

One of our sponsors this time is Little Blue Button who kindly gave us some images to play with. This is Dream Charlie, isn't she fab? She was coloured with Promarkers to match the scrummy yummy digi papers from Tinker N Co that I was lucky enough to win from Jules. Even though hair scares me I am quite pleased with my primitive attempt and from a distance it doesn't look too bad at all (if you close one eye completely and squint out of the other!!). The spotty dotty ribbon was from from Crafty Ribbons.

I do hope you will come and play, just bring your cutest creation that includes polka dots and pastels...easy peasy!!

An accidental purchase...

Hello all, hope that you are going to have a fun filled weekend.

My frequent visitors will know that I often have accidental purchases, you know what I mean, you touch the "add to basket" button and before you know it your finger slips again. Wellllll,  look what we accidentally bought.....

They are Springer Spaniel x Border Collies, we have had and love both breeds so hoped to find a mix and we achieved just that!! We went, a fortnight ago,  with the intention of choosing just one but ended up with two!!

We have named them Bowie and Bumble. Suzy has been such a good girl, she's going to make a great Nanna!! I might just leave it a day or two until I introduce them to Surprise and Mo the cat though.

If I am missing for a while you will know why, I have a feeling that these two might just be time wasters!!

Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words xx

Cool Peggy

Friday again my friends and I hope you have all had a good week and are looking forward to a good weekend. Ours will be interesting for sure so watch this space!!

I am here to share another one of Naz's amazing images. It seems that I have a fondness for Peggy as she features quite regularly here!! The paper is one of hundreds on the Craftwork Cards digi stick and I coloured Peggy with Promarkers to match.

I wasn't quite sure of the layout at first but it actually showcases the beautiful paper really well so I think I might use it again.

The new Challenge at Sasayaki Glitter is CAS so for those of you that enjoy the clean look  go take a peek and join in for the chance to win some images of your own!!

I am off to join in here

Reindeer Games

I can't believe another week has whizzed by since I last shared anything with you but anyway here I am with a Christmas card, inspired by a few current challenges.

Unusually for me I had a layout in mind and the card was born from that. I have no idea who the papers are by but I do remember buying  them from Buddly Crafts a couple of years ago. The sweet reindeer are from the Reindeer Games set and I fussy cut and attached them with foam pads onto a water splattered Weatherwed Wood DI background. The pretty edges were made using a Marianne Craftables set.

The inspiration came from here

Winter Peggy

Ice Cream yesterday and today I have a Christmas card to share !! I really thought I should get some more made. My good intentions fell by the wayside some time ago!!

This is Winter Peggy who is one of the many new releases today over at

Sasayaki Glitter

I went with a CAS look here using just chunky frantage to add some texture together with some twine and a charm that Lucy sent me. 

A challenge or two...
