Hi all,</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
It's time for another fab challenge over at <a href="http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.com/">crafts 4 eternity</a> this week we want you to make your project based on the below sketch. Pop over to the blog to check out the wonderful creations from my teamies on the crafts for eternity DT, and maybe get a little inspiration! </div>

<br />
I love having a sketch to follow, it takes a lot of the planning out of making a card I think, and leaves me plenty of time to have fun colouring my image and decided what embellishments I want to use!<br />
At the moment I'm having lots of fun making my own embellishments using... yep you've guessed it Tim Holtz tissue tape! I love making this flowers/ rosettes with it!<br />

The cute little image is from Pollycrafts digi images and she is called Trix, I coloured her using a mixture of copics and flexmarkers.<br />

<br />
This week the challenge is anything goes, so go crazy make whatever takes your fancy! Us lucky girls who are members of the C4E DT were given some images to play with from this weeks sponsor <a href="http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Sassy studio designs</a>.<br />
I think we may have all chosen the same one so your gonna see a lot of this bathing beauty if you pop over and have a look at what my other teamies have come up with. Its quite amazing how many different and beautiful creations you can get from just one image!<br />
<br />
I created these cute little rosettes/ flowers with Tim Holtz tissue tape, there is a tutorial on his blog, it is mega easy and very effective!<br />

Hi all,<br />
Another week has gone by so it's time for another challenge at C4E. This week we are asking to see you creations inspired by autumn (in the UK it is really feeling like autumn now).<br />
My little card has this cute little image from cuddly buddly isn't he the sweetest little squirrel!<br />
I coloured him with my copics, and used some leaves that I cut out using my cricut.<br />
<br />
Please pop over to the blog and see what fabulous things the my teamies have done. I can't wait to see what you all come up with.<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

<br />
<br />
Hi all,<br />
This weeks challenge over at <a href="http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.com/">crafts4eternity</a> is an embellishment recipe:<br />
1. Birds<br />
2. Leaves<br />
3.Glitter<br />
Well when I saw this challenge I knew I had just the stamp to fit! I haven't used it for absolutely ages! It's one of my very few (now I mostly use digi images) wood mounted stamps. I coloured the image using a mixture of copics and letraset flexmarkers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-95063LW0XO8/TnDV7h6Ad4I/AAAAAAAAA8E/xTQD30263Hk/s1600/owl2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="91" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-95063LW0XO8/TnDV7h6Ad4I/AAAAAAAAA8E/xTQD30263Hk/s200/owl2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
I decided that I would try a different style of card for this one and made a gate fold card. I can hardly believe it that in all the years I have been crafting I have never made one of these!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ie4nH9Pc6gk/TnDV9ac9t2I/AAAAAAAAA8I/b2pWIM3TfYE/s1600/owl3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="108" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ie4nH9Pc6gk/TnDV9ac9t2I/AAAAAAAAA8I/b2pWIM3TfYE/s200/owl3.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Oh yes and I decorated the inside of the card using my new Tim Holtz stamps (I'm addicted to his products!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fAUSmp2t_jU/TnDV_9YIYTI/AAAAAAAAA8M/xqg2mX9ilKg/s1600/owl4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fAUSmp2t_jU/TnDV_9YIYTI/AAAAAAAAA8M/xqg2mX9ilKg/s200/owl4.jpg" width="149" /></a></div>
Look forward to seeing what all you guys do with this challenge, do have a look at all the fab work the other DT members have done.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hi all,<br />
Please see the end of this post for the list of challenges I'm entering this card into.<br />
Well I think I am sort of getting back to 'normal' I have a card in the middle of the week!<br />
I had great fun with this really cute little image from <a href="http://www.pollycraft.co.uk/">Pollycraft</a> called tin rose!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0KTb_TO6khs/TnDbY2ecKZI/AAAAAAAAA8U/1XRlcUU7zec/s1600/robot+thanks2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0KTb_TO6khs/TnDbY2ecKZI/AAAAAAAAA8U/1XRlcUU7zec/s320/robot+thanks2.jpg" width="208" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
When I was recovering from my recent operation, I didn't manage to do any crafting for over 3 weeks but that doesn't mean that I didn't do any craft shopping! (on-line and on the shopping channels). So for this card I decided to try and use things from my stash, so all the papers are ones that have been in my stash for ages and I have neglected.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1JNSyG0CZjU/TnDbakXPNtI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/PC9CH3A7nqk/s1600/robot+thanks3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1JNSyG0CZjU/TnDbakXPNtI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/PC9CH3A7nqk/s200/robot+thanks3.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will have to finish the inside of my cards in a similar way to the front more often, it really does add the finishing touch!</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Hi all,</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It is great to be back in the crafting world! I'm feeling tons better even though I'm still recovering really (tonsilectomy few weeks ago, AWFUL).</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So I'm back to DT duties, and this is for a fab challenge that is going on today over at <a href="http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.com/">crafts 4 eternity</a> . The inspiration comes from a pretty little bracelet. The challenge is brown and blue, mine turned out more brown and greeny blue. That is mostly cause I took my inspiration from the picture.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eoHdVB65fWQ/TmefWTlbNhI/AAAAAAAAA70/MmeCui44BVs/s1600/Dress+up2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="103px" nba="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eoHdVB65fWQ/TmefWTlbNhI/AAAAAAAAA70/MmeCui44BVs/s200/Dress+up2.jpg" width="200px" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">When I saw this little digi from <a href="http://www.lalalandcrafts.com/">lala land crafts</a> called dress up Marci, she just fitted prefectly! She is so cute and the oversized necklace ties the bracelet into the challenge. I did a little paper piecing with her hat to add texture, also I cut the flower out several times to give it extra petals and again texture.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

You may have been wondering where I've been!?<br />
Well I had my tonsils taken out last Tuesday! I have been and still am in a lot of pain! The recovery for adults with a tonsilectomy is awful! :-(<br />
So sorry for being missing and I look forward to being well enough to craft and be back with you all. <br />
Hugs,<br />

I used some of this lovely new paper I have from My minds eye. It is called stomp and is one for the boys really which give me a great opportunity to use this gorgeous little puddle jumper from <a href="http://loriboyd.blogspot.com/">LORi</a> which fitted the paper sooooo well.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Well you may have wondered why I haven't updated recently with any projects!?<br />
My laptop is poorly! The screen has gone all crazy & I'm waiting for it to be repaired. <br />
So I'm currently only able to access my blog from my phone! I will attempt adding some projects from my phone as an experiment maybe later. <br />
Hope to be back soon???<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I have used another cute <a href="http://www.pollycraft.co.uk/">Pollycraft</a> but this time one of the little girls ( I have been neglecting the girls in this set). Isn't she pretty and summery, refreshing considering the current 'summer' weather we are having here in the UK rain all day today!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div>Please see the end of this post for the list of challenges I'm entering this card into.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I used another of my favorites from <a href="http://pollycraft.co.uk/shop/article_1324/Swings-And-Slides-Set-2-(Full-set-7-digis).html?shop_param=cid%3D62%26aid%3D1324%26">Polly craft</a> he is from one of the swings and slides digi bundles (7 digis for under £6, great value!) I love all the boys in this range, I have used a few of the others already on previous cards. Of course I coloured him with my copic caio markers</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zhniq-bQyaM/TiFvEW9Xh6I/AAAAAAAAA60/KSUGEQ8r-NU/s1600/gone+fishing+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200px" m$="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zhniq-bQyaM/TiFvEW9Xh6I/AAAAAAAAA60/KSUGEQ8r-NU/s200/gone+fishing+2.jpg" width="163px" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The paper is from the 'smirk' range, I haven't used anything from that range before but this fitted so well! You may also notice the tape at the top, another new addition to my stash. It is from the Tim Holtz range I just love all his stuff it so very versatile. I have attached the little fish with thread, I like this and I think it adds to his cuteness!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Don't you just love this cute little digi, another of my favorites from <a href="http://pollycraft.co.uk/">Pollycraft</a>. The sentiment may not completly fit to you, but it does to me as it reminds me of when I was little and I had a teddy that I carried everywhere with me.

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I have added dimesion again to him by layering his head and fluffy little slippers with silicone glue.

I have had this cute little digi image from <a href="http://loriboyd.blogspot.com/">LORi</a> for a while and haven't used her! I know it's terrible how could I have such a cute little puddle jumper and not use her! Well I have put that right now, and doesn't she look cute with her bright umbrella! I had such fun colouring her in.<br />
<br />
I love reading your comments soe please me leave me one to let me know what you think.<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Well wasn't I a brave little crafter today! I decided this card must not have kraft card stock, as I have used it on most of my previous cards. But I ended up being especially brave and using acetate! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The ticket is a free digi stamp from <a href="http://scrap-a-licious-times.blogspot.com/">Marit</a>, she has loads of free digis go over and check them out, she also makes the most amazing cards. I just love this little image, it is such fun to colour this little fellows in and look at his cute little frog!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div>I'm quite pleased with the little puddle he is stood in, I drew it and then cut it out by hand. I have used one of my Tim Holtz distressing ink pads to ink the edge of it :)<br />

</tbody></table>Hi all,<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I've been a bit quiet again sorry another busy week along with a nasty cough and cold! The list of challenges I'm entering this card into are at the bottom of this post.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I love this digi from <a href="http://byloridesigns.blogspot.com/">LORi</a> he is sooooo cute and I also like the fact that it looks like a photo, I love the simple cuteness of Lori's images. I think that as he is a cowboy he goes well with kraft card stock and of course it is one of my favorites to use.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o1BzGssylK0/Tf4pY75cFGI/AAAAAAAAA5k/qKcA5JX7Hys/s1600/Howdy+part2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206px" i$="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o1BzGssylK0/Tf4pY75cFGI/AAAAAAAAA5k/qKcA5JX7Hys/s320/Howdy+part2.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>I forgot to take any pictures of the inside of this card, but I have put the spotty yellow paper on the inside firstly because it looks nice if you finish cards off inside and also because I've done a little stitching on the front ( I still have the 'we r memory keepers' sew easy on my wish list).<br />
<br />
<br />

</div>I also used one of these lovely pins I got the other week they are from Tim Holtz, I just love them this one says momento (sorry you can't really see from the picture).<br />
<br />

<br />
I made the top 3 over at <a href="http://pollycraftchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/challenge-95-winners-and-favourites.html">Polly craft challenges</a> (biggest smile on my face)<br />
It's for the card below with the cute teddy on it.<br />
<br />
Sorry I have been a little quiet the last week or so, I have been mega busy. Firstly I had another 'commission' my sister regularly orders 10 cards in one go which do take a little time to do. Secondly I spent 2 full days on a first aid course last week, which included homework. I have done the course several times before and I was pleasantly surprised how much I remember, think of my on Friday I have my assessment.<br />
<br />
Will be back soon with a card<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">This is another card that I have made using lots of bits from my stash, I'm trying to use my stash to compensate for all the buying of craft stuff I keep doing! I have had this digi image from <a href="http://www.pollycraft.co.uk/">Pollycrafts</a> for a while and never used it. Of course I coloured the image using my copics. The cute little 'you make me smile' sentiment ticket was a free digi from <a href="http://scrap-a-licious-times.blogspot.com/">Marit</a> she has loads of them over on her blog go check them out.</div><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I have tried a little bit of hand stitching on this card, I really would like the sew easy tool from we r memory keepers as it is much quicker then paper piercing then stitching. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
