I mentioned my favourite trio sentiment of theirs (LL190) which I call my "little black dress" of sentiments, because they are so versatile and I use them so often!! The other 2 stamps in the set are lovely little verses great for the inside of your card.

In the doghouse - again!!!!!
Saturday 29 March 2008
Just for fun...!
I decided to get the fimo out - and this is what I came up with! He is an avid Newcastle United fan (he supports his own home team!) and a passionate chocolate eater....and although my model isn't exactly to scale, and he looks as if he was eating one of my lipsticks with those big red lips, everyone knew who it was!! He loved it...and his other 39 gifts!

Cute Card Thursday...
Shhh...don't tell Collywoggle....I still have a few more in the same pristine condition, but I'm trying to work my way through them all!!!!!!!
I've used some basic grey "scraps" - I love this paper - I think it's so fresh!
The CCT challenge was to create something representing "new beginnings" - I chose this image because it's a new spring bunny! bx

Thanks a bunch...
I received this little lady in a swap with Leonie - I thought she was perfect for a thank you card for my mum and even though it's a cute Tilda image I still struggled with this card!
Aah well, at least it's a start! bx
I am honoured...
Now for the hard bit...I need to pass the award on to another 5 people; it is so hard to choose, but here goes! Firstly to Nicola to say thank you for continually dedicating time and energy to make blogging fun and interesting for us all; Claudia creates such beautiful work and fills me with creative inspiration, Ruth inspires me in a totally different way!! I have enjoyed Melissa's beautiful creations since way before I even had my own blog, and finally I have to say that Lisa Bearnson inspires me both creatively and spiritually. I love how she reaches out to others in need and inspires fellow crafters to do the same!
What you need to do:
1) Write a post with links to 5 blogs you find of interest and that inspire you
2) Acknowledge the post of the award giver
3) Display the logo 'You make my day'
4) Tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their blogs with the news
I now need to inform these ladies - just wanted to give a final mention to Sandra!

showed her the cards without names attached!!) - and finally she decided on this one! She particularly liked the little bouquet of flowers that Tilda is holding.
A HUGE thank you to everyone else for playing along - I appreciate it immensely! I had so much fun (and so did the hubbiwinkle!!) I will try it again!
Please enjoy the other lovely cards - now you see how difficult it was for mum!
Thanks to : Leonie , Cheryl, Nikki, Leann, Elisa, Maddie, Sandra, Kristine, Marlene, Natalie, Nicola, Marte, Han, Michelle, Maria, Jenny, Char, Hope, Tara, Wendy, and Suzanne!

I am gonna toodle into bed now as I'm feeling miserable - think I'm getting one of the horrible virus's that have been circulating and which so far I have managed to avoid! bx

I'm soooo last week!
I used the K&Co papers - again! Had to put them away 'cos I just kept reaching for them; I think the colour palette is so fresh and "uplifting". I used this Penny Black chick - love her!
My mum also has a very difficult task ahead of her tomorrow - she has to choose a winner for the blog candy challenge! Colin is still away on business so she has to choose on her own! Now I know why people use the random number thingy-ma-bobby...think I'll do that next time too!
I'll let you know tomorrow who'll be getting some new stash to play with - until then, adios amigoes! bx

Arty Girlz challenge
This is an entry for the current Arty Girlz challenge. The challenge is to use circles - somehow, somewhere on your card!
Not sure if my dotty paper circles are a bit small so I sealed the deal by "rubber stamping" baby Millie as completely loved (using an autumn leaves stamp - I love this set!).
I know you can't see it very well in the photo but my baby Millie has a lovely soft "blankie" - courtesy of fun flock!
Love this little stamp!
