Ooh I do love these wee cuties and this one is a special favourite of mine. She is from Sheet 390 and I have coloured her with my copics, cut out with my oval nestie, adding chalk to background and inking the edges. The pearls are from Mei Flower, backing paper is "Springtime" from Crafty Individuals and the gorgeous corners from a borrowed die of my daughters.

Shall we Dance?

Afternoon peeps, hope you are not all freezing, boy was the frost thick this morning but thankfully the sun is peeping through at times here in Chorley. An early start for me this morning as had acupuncture at 9am, only another month to go hopefully.


Today a new challenge starts at Whoopsi Daisy and we would like you to

Punch It Out

I am afraid there is not much punching, only Martha Stewart´s fabulous lace doily punch,  as my arms, shoulders and back are still pretty bad, got a shock with phone call yesterday for an MRI scan at 6pm - yep on a Sunday evening, the good thing at least I didn´t have a sleepless night with the short notice!


I have used this sweet image from Sheet 420, she reminds me so much of our daughters when they were young and going to all sorts of dance classes including ballet. I have coloured her with my copics, inked around image and added lots of glitter with stickles. Papers are from Papermania´s Lucy Cromwell pad, gems and pearls from Mei Flower and lace and ribbon from stash. Sentiment was cut from the Cricut,  scroll die was borrowed from my daughter and am I glad I made good use of it when she visited for a few days, think I may have to treat myself to it. I always check out  Sweet Sketch Wednesday as I love playing with their sketches.

Crafts and Me - Ribbon and Lace

1st Christmas card of the year

Good morning peeps I hope you are all well and not feeling the cold too much. Boy it´s bloomin freezing here, cold enough for fur lined knickers lol.  I am keeping cozy in my craft room and enjoying getting back into crafting at long last.


Today I have inked up "Willow with Lantern" and coloured her with my copics, such a pity she has lain here a few years without being used especially as she is so pretty and cute. I wonder who she´s looking for!


The papers are old ones too DCWV, Rose Tinted Christmas. Not a bad start to the New Year using up my old stash but method in my madness as there will be more room for the new stash I´ve just ordered. Sentiment was a freebie in a magazine and ribbon and pearls from Mei Flower.
