Finally the Sun is out, although still a bit shy lol I know it's not gonna last though.

This fortnight at Try it on Tuesday the theme: "Angels&Demons" I'm sure this will move all of your brain cells well it did mine, so this one can be as dark as you want or as cute as you want there for mine is between lol

 Yep I made an other bookmark lol My latest cookery book: Bread by Paul Hollywood, it's a lovely book and I do use it. I have decided I will make all kind of bread not just flat&pita bread, fuccacia and chapati, these are just the simple ones so I want to learn how to make bloomer and all the other difficult ones. Anyway onto my project as you know our sponsor at TioT is Dilly Beans and for this project my inspiration came from not less the the owner of Dilly Beans: Megan. I used Sugar Skull, I did like the way Megan tilted it and cutting bits of it but I doodled frame round it and I LUV how it turned out.

My second card is a High Hopes one and the theme there is "Summer Time". Watermelon means summer for me, I take it you guessed what stamp  I'm using, it's the sweet little stamp called  "Summer Sweetness" and a matchung sentimet to go with it

I cooperated this challenge with LIM where the theme is: "Hexagon" I have no die or template so I had to make my own, took me a while but I did it lol

 I'm in love with this sweet stamp

That's all for now

A quick

I thought I make a simple card for Adrian's Dad for father's day from the kids. I have used High Hopes theme "Thank You" as it's from the kids I used the Tractor stamp.

So here is my quick card

OMGoodnes just realised I was in such a rush I missed spelled "Thank", I'm sure even my 6 yrs old son can spell that one correctly lol I better go and do something about it before anyone else see it :-)

I have to say I prefer the corrected card lol I cut out the miss spelled one and wrote behind the "Thank you" so it's stays one layer as I'd like to play along with LIM where the theme: "Need for Speed" and it's one layer week.

Here is my corrected card

Ok I better go and tidy my mess up and go to bed

Thanks a Melon!

Slowly slowly I need to do the thank you cards for the teachers, so High Hopes theme "Thank You" was a good excuse to start it. I decided I'll make very simple cards as I have to make abt 10-11 of them.

I have used the Watermelon Border stamp and the "Thanks a Melon" stamp

I'm really -really looking forward end of July when we go back to Hungary and we can eat as much sweet watermelon as much we can stuff into our face. I just not bothered to buy it in UK as it's tasteless. Hungarians do grow loads of watermelon as well as the other melons. I have to buy watermelon every morning as it never last lol 

That's all for now

Silly Billy

Alfie went to a Birthday Party and I made this card for the little boy, but I ended up keeping it as he picked up a card from the shop too. It's always handy to have a card in the stash for kids anyway.

Over at High Hopes the Divas given us a "Gate fold card" challenge

here is mine

 The stamps are called Silly Billy, Party Donkey and Birthday Cake the DP/BP are from TLC Creations. I haven't decided yet if I'm gonna put anything inside yet as I love the paper so much

 Here they are in close up. I hardly used these stamps yet, it's great fun to colour them

I'll be entering this card into the fallowing challenges:

• Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Masculine
• Just Some Lines -Anything Goes
• Alphabet Challenge - H for Happy 
• Card Makin' Mamas -  Use Rubber Stamp

That's all for now, off to prepare the food for BBQ now

Stitched

It's bin a long time now since I done some stitching, so got my patterns out and I chose one to fit with Hight Hopes theme: CAS as well as LIM: Cats and/or  Dogs

It's taken me few hrs to do it but I love it. I cut out the inside of the frame and I stuck the HH stamp behind it. I just realised I only got a really small dog stamp and this is my only cat, no good I think I need to get some more HH stamps after fathers day is done lol

Here is a close up on my stitching, not perfect but I still love it

Off to put Alfie to bed now. Will be back in the morning with a new post

Spruced up

Over at DD we gave you the theme "Anything BUT a card" so I thought I spruce up one of my fav free bag (came with a mag) I take it I love it cos I've got the matching shoes to go with it, yeah I've got  a thing to have matching shoes and bag lol

I was going to make something else but my friend forgot to pick the T-shirt up from work so I had to go for plan "B"

and here is the end result

I've got this bag for abt 7 yrs now so it was time to rewamp it lol took me a while to stitch those flitters on but I love how it turned out. Few yrs ago I bought a special glitter what works on closing and I don't thing I have used them so I thought this was the perfect time to do so (they are wash proof )

 I printed 2 skulls out and one of them is mirror printed so on the bag they face each other, I stitched chain in ther mouth and I just had to use my hand little angel what I costume made for this bag, have to have a goodie with the baddie lol

 Before I get onto my next card here is a bit of mouth water shoe pastry filed with strawberry and whipped cream. I made this this afternoon. I don't bake as they never turn out the way they should but this one turned out fab and will make some little balls tomorrow with chocolate filing, just let's hope they turn out as good as this one

I made this for my father in lows birthday but forgot to blog it but thanks God Hight Hopes' this week challenge is "One for the boys" so I can post this

 This old goat is so adorable, I just had to use it

Ok I'm cold and my water is running so I'm off to have a nice hot bath

Spring-Where??!!!

I'm a bit tired, went to bed really late (3am) as my OH was working nights so it was an excuse to stay up and craft lol I was woken up 9 by my friend's hubby cos their puppy got into our garden. They are few doors away from us but she pushes in the gate on the bottom but can't get out, I'm glad it's wet out there and I didn't let the bunnys out she chases them non-stop

Ok I stopped being gobby and I get on with my post

Here is my first card what I made for TioT DT and the Theme is "Spring has Sprung" but with a twist you need a moveable part

I bought a bookbinding book and I seen a cool technique and I wanted to give a go, my circle moves round and it's not with brad, in the inside there is an other circle to cover up the mechanizer I forgot to take a pic of it though

Here you can see I can turn it, poor little ant is upside down lol

I used High Hopes image called "Sweet Little Thing" and coloured him with my watercolour pencils. My BP/DP comes from one of my Crafter's Companion Cd what I printed out yrs ago and just was waiting there to be used, I've got way to many scrap what I don't use cos they not organised and I have no idea what I have. The ribbon is from my stash  

The sweet sentiment is a new one came with a Lotv stamp

I just stapled the ribbon on then I undone it and put some seed-beads on it, now that was a bit fidly I can tell you that BUT looks really cool

I'll be entering this card into the fallowing challenges

My BP is from my stash I distressed the edges then I scrunched up und with TH distress ink I gave some places a bit more definition. The flower is made out of ribbon then out of 7 little paper flowers I made the centre from the left over black paper

Hop little bunnies hop hop hop.....

.....hop hop hop lol I just got this nursery rhyme in my head from my nannying time lol as it's the time of the year again to start on Easter cards. Here is my 1st one

 I have fallowed a sketch by Graphicat Sketches

I have  turned the sketch. I used High Hopes stamp and The BP/DP the little digi in the corner and the inside WA is by TLC Creations

 Before I glued my bunny on the die cut shape I tried to create sky and grass with my TH distress inks using a bit of cotton wool and just dab it rather than using my sponge 

I do love this cute digi by Paulette, the Bunny trail digi, the WA and the paper is from the last club

Over at High Hopes the theme is Grey, Silver or Metal. I tell you found it hard to use grey for Easter card so I only done my bunny and my BP/DP is kind of grey-ish I do hope girls it'll do.

I've got something else to show you but it's not finished as I managed to mess up my paper bag and went in town twice to get some but the shop was closed then yesterday it was packed so had no intention to go in, got to get it sometimes next week.

Over at TioT the theme "Time flies" and I thought I make a paper bag album lol

Well here is the top cover

The stamp I used is Recollection: About Time set, the DP/BPs are again from TLC Creations and the rest is from stash. Once I finish it I'll show you the rest

To my Valentine and a DT call

Been so long I made anything, just wasn't in creative mood but in the last 3 days I made more than in the last 2 month

Here is what I made for my OH.

First my up-cycled gift bag

from this

 into this, I was quiet pleased with it.

 I really like this big owl charm but I just had to use it, goes so well with the High Hopes owl stamp

 The branch stamp no idea where it came from as it's a loose stamp

 And here is my matching card. My DP/BP is digital as well as the frame and heart and they all Delicious Doodles images, if you go into the shop you'll find them all

 The ribbon is one of those stick on tapes what I attached to ribbon and my brand newish dies from Spillbinder 

 I've got soooooooo many charms what never been used and this was a good time to get them out and use them. I think both of them really cute

If you like to play with DD this week the them is: One for the boys

I'll be entering this/these into the fallowing challenges:
