Piling it On!

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone is well today and having a happy day so far! The postie has just been and brought me my woj stamps, that is like speed of light delivery-I only ordered them Thursday afternoon. Fantastic service or what, can't wait to ink those little lovelies up!

Todays card is using the sketch at Truly Scrumptious, which is a really fab one-they also wanted us to use our unused stash. So ...I've used some Basic Grey boxer papers that I've had for ages and never used, and the buttons are like 2 years old and I've not used even one from the pack! I'm also entering this over at Pile it On who want to see at least 4 buttons, Charisma who have an open challenge of anything you like and the Crafty Pad who want to see buttons too! Phew!

Stuff: Sugar Nellie stamp (Mary Hall) coloured with Promarkers, Basic grey Boxer collection, Core'dinations card, sewing machine, buttons from stash, distress inks, distressing tool.

I just want to say thank you so much for the absolutely wonderful comments I've been left recently-they really mean a lot to me, and I know it shouldn't matter and that the main thing is I enjoy what I do but it's really nice to have validation that you like my work! I was so made up at having got the top 3 at Pile it On yesterday-I've never got anything like that before! Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment if you're popping by so I can come visit you too! Huggles xxx

Matching Pillow Box

I decided tonight to make a little pillow box to match the card from yesterday. These are such quick little gift boxes, there's lots of tutorials on splitcoaststampers on how to, I just can't find the linky right now! They're ideal to pop a gift voucher in, some sweets, a silk scarf, but I think this one shall end up with seeds in to go with the card:) I'm entering in again at Pile it On for purple and Creative Inspirations which is anything but a card. I've kept the box quite simple but I think it's 'enough' iykwim:)

Stuff I used: dcwv metallic stack, prima flowers, papermania brads, lace from stash, basic grey wisteria paper. For card 'stuff' see previous post.

Have had a fun day today, this morning I took Leo to a new toddler group and met a really nice lady there and Leo absolutely loved it. Then this afternoon mum brought a sandpit home, you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to get hold of one right now, everyone has sold out! So Leo was a happy chappy playing the sand this afternoon with his spade. Lisa also made me my very own personalised banner! Am thrilled with it! Looks soooo cool don't you think?! Huge huge thanks to Lisa for that! Hope everyone else has had a good day too and wohooooo it's the weekend! Catch you all tomorrow!

Pile it On-Purple!

I've just recently discovered this new blog and so far am lovin it, and their little logo is an ice-cream-yum! Their challenge each week is to combine their challenge with as many other challenges as possible! So...I've used the sketch at Cupcake Crafts, obviously I've used purple too which is at Pile it On, and at Charisma Cardz this week you can do anything you like!

Stuff I used: SugarNellie Windswept coloured with Promarkers, Basic Grey Wisteria papers, core'dinations cardstock, distress inks in tea dye and dusty concord, lace, pin, button and rub on from stash, nesties and cuttlebug, prima flowers, raffia.

Well am off to bed soon, after I've caught up with Big Brother;). Thanks so much for stopping by and any comments you might leave! Sleep tight xxx
