Sugar Nellie DT Card-More Autumn Fun

Evening lovely crafty friends! Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend! I've had a good one myself, nothing particuarly special happened, just had fun with Leo, nice to just have a bit of lazy weekend isn't it sometimes! I actually finished today's card last night but have had a right palava getting piccies, they all seemed to come out funny till late this afternoon.

On todays card I've used another cutie from the Autumn Kit by Sugar Nellie, ahhh I love it so much! Have had such fun playing with my dt kit you wouldn't believe! Have also used 2 of the accessory stamps that come in the kit on the insides of the card to match the front-I've used the little squirrel and the acorns. Now it's a bit a treat to see the insides of my cards (see pics below) cos tis a rare event that I photograph them, often because it takes me so long to do the front that I end up doing the insides either when they get sold or wing their way to a friend or something:) Since it is all decorated inside, I shall enter it over at Creative Card Crew who as luck would have it want to see the inside decoration of our cards, and at Allsorts as their challenge theme this week is Autumn, also PaperPlay Challenges want to see spots and me thinks the polka dot paper I used will fit nicely! The layout of my card is courtesy of the sketch inspiration over at Friday Sketchers-loved it!

Stuff: Sugar Nellie Autumn Kit available here coloured with copics, Cosmo Cricket Early Bird paper stack, jute ribbon from here, bling from stash, flower handmade from same paper stask, button from here, raffia from local hardware store, core'dinations cardstock, distress ink in frayed burlap, sewing machine

I missed out on going to Ally Pally this weekend but I am going to the NEC in November, so give me a shout if you're going, would be great to say hi! I'm saving up my pennies to go so I can have a big splurge-sooo can't wait! Well am gonna pop off now and do some crafting:) Have a lovely evening. Huggles xxx

Winter Wishes

Evening everyone! Hows your weekend going? Mine's been good so far, apart from yesterday when me and my friend Michelle took to the kids out for the day and things all got a bit dramatic! In the afternoon Leo suddenly out of nowhere started walking oddly on his right leg like then he wouldn't walk at all-not like him-he'd much rather run around than be carried! After a little bit when it still hadn't improved I took to him to A and E, they examined him and everything and his temp was up as well. So...the consultant decided we needed to go to a bigger hospital as he thought there might be fluid on his hip and a temperature is a symptom of it so off we went-was really worried by this point! When we got to the next hospital and after more examinations and more doctors it was decided it wasn't a hip problem, and actually he was ok-just a bit of a bug and by this point he was walking ok after being given medicine and off we went home! He's pretty much fine now, thank goodness and no walking problems so who knows what the leg thing was about! Its such a guessing game when they can't communicate enough to tell you what the matter is!

Anyways...I have a card to show ya! I got this cutie stamp about a month ago but was waiting for some lovely christmas papers and now I've got some newies decided it was time to ink her up! Also time to start cracking on with the chrismas/yule cards! There seems to be a few challenges this week who are encouraging us to do just that so this card works for Simon Says Challengewho want to see christmas creations, winter wonderland who want to see home featured in christmassy creations (there's sweet little houses on the paper I've used), Dutch Dare also want to see Christmas Creations as do Creative Card Crew. The layout of this card is courtesy of the fabulous Kellie's sketch challenge-you should defo pop over there as you could win 3 adorable motivet stamps!

Stuff: Motivet stamp 'doraline bundled up', mme papers 'merry days of christmas', pearls and bead cap from the Elaine at Quixotic Paperie, ribbon from stash, sewing machine, mcgill and x cut punch, core'dinations card

Ooo almost forgot to ask you guys-I need to make an engagement card for my step brother and his now fiancee-any image ideas? Thanks so much for stopping by and any comments you might leave me-they make my day! Enjoy the rest of your evening! Huggles xxx
