I have used another Skinny Malinky from Ladybug Crafts Ink and she is called "Suzy"...classy girl who has stopped off for cuppa and a cupcake before she heads back to what a girl does best...SHOPPING!! Lol

Anyhoo Ladybug Crafts Ink started their new challenge on Tuesday and its a WOW {white on white} challenge which made me think that i haven't done one of these cards for a long time so i gave it a go and here's what i came up with...hope you likey :)

Yes i know i have coloured the image but i am sure that will be okay *fingers crossed*

I am not totally happy with the image because as i was colouring i dropped my marker and it landed on my background so i decided i colour it all with the colour i dropped and it made it look a little dark...i know what your going to ask....Why not just print another off??
Unfortunately my ink has run out so i couldn't do that so i just thought what the heck just go with it!!

Shadow Stamping...

Hello me lovelies

I was hoping to have this blog post up before now but i had a doctors appointment this morning to have some bloods taken because a couple of weeks back i went to doctors for a tablet check and the nurse had noticed i was poorly again so she decided it was best to take some bloods to see what's going on.
Anyhoo they came back that i have slightly high Cholesterol and that they think i might have Diabetes so they wanted another blood test to check the numbers again so i went to have them done again this morning, i will get the results back next Tuesday so lets see what that brings!!

Right me lovelies enough of the old waffle about me and on with today's card...it's a one layer card with shadow stamping on it and the reason for this is because as i've been having a good old nosey around blogland i had seen lots of stunning cards with this fab technique on so i thought i'd give it a go and this is what i have come up with...hope you likey :)

I was also inspired by this lovely weather we are having at the moment so i thought i'd add a orange circle which represents the lovely warmish weather we are having and it's nice to see that beautiful sun in the sky.

Products i have used...

Stamps...Marion Emberson "On your Special day" stamp set

Papers and card...White card {stash}

Fancy Florals with a hint of Pink...{Take 3}

It's Friday me lovelies...are we all excited??

I am because our 3 older boys have broken of school for Easter which means no more school runs {YAY!!} don't get me wrong i do love having them at home as well...its just the school runs, put it this way its just nice to have a break from them Lol
After Easter holiday's my our youngest boy starts nursery...i know i can't believe it either but that's not the shocking bit, they told me he will start school September...i was like yeah but we have over a year to prepare for that and she was like "no this September because he will be five next April"...i was like omg yeah he will be!!
 Then that sickly feeling you get in the bottom of your stomach kicked in...i just can't get my head round him nursery never mind starting school but you think i would be used to it by now as he is my 4th son but here's some more shocking news...my eldest boy leaves school this year to go to college, i know that's shocking too isn't it!! 
Where does the time go?? 

Anyhoo enough of the old waffle and get on with sharing today's card, it's {Take 3} of those Fancy Florals cards but this time it's different from the first 2 i shared with you...same stamp sets, same colours but different layouts, lets see what you think of it..hope you likey :)

Fancy Florals with a hint of Pink...{Take 2}

Hello me lovelies

I was going to come back last night with the card i am going to share with you today but i ran out of time before i went to my weekly "Craft get together"...which we were making Christmas cards last night because we don't want to be rushing at the last minute with those so we do a batch once a month...we should have plenty by then Lol
Anyhoo today's card is {Take 2} of the Fancy Florals card i shared with you the other day...same design and colour except the flowers are different!!
 I make cards in batches...big or small and the reason is, you can guarantee that a customer will see what another customer has bought and want one the same so i make a few the same but sometimes i tend to just change something on it, nothing major...just something little.
Righto me lovelies enough of the old waffle, here's my card...hope you likey :)

Just noticed i haven't added my pearls under my sentiment *shaking head* at oneself...i guess i will later!!
