Charisma Cardz

NO FLOWERS ALLOWED is the challenge this week at the Charisma Challenge

It's actually very hard not to use flowers at all- every time I pulled a paper out it had flowers on it or so did the image I was going to use.

So in the end I went for Hunky Dory card and a Delicious Doodles image, some ribbon, feathers and a sentiment and I made it with my friend in mind so that's the one Joan got for her birthday.

Hope you can join in this week and see if you find not using flowers any easier than I did.

Moving Along With The Times

The challenge this week at MAWTT is Shabby Chic or Vintage or a mixture of both and I think my card is a bit of a mixture of the both

This is a lovely new image from Teri at Delicious Doodles which will not be on sale until Wednesday of this week, so that gives you a sneaky peek at the image Steampunk Sally and the steampunk papers are from Funky Hand.

Today is running a way with me but at least I am getting to play a little in between some orders , back to work tomorrow- really looking forward to that!!!

Don't know what the washing machine was doing but it managed to dance right out into the middle of the room and it gave Misty a bit of a fright, me also I must admit I thought it sounded like something crashing into the house but it's safely back in its spot now.

Enjoy your Sunday

Haunted Design House- Macabre Monday

Macabre Monday- and no I do know it's Wednesday- but anyway- their challenge this week is to pay homage to the great Alfred Hitchcock

For my card I had to use Teri's( Delicious Doodles) Waiting image for the great film The Birds and I don't know that I would want those three little dudes sitting waiting on me or watching me as my sentiment says and the paper is from the gorgeous Phill Martin.

Having a freat week off work and apart from getting hair cut and taking the dogs a walk I've been crafting for most of it- fab- and look at my lovely pink family addition

been getting plenty try outs today and it's wonderful- need some more BIG dies now but need to save up some pennies for them as going tomorrow to spend the last of them on a crystal sparkly skull to finish off my living room- will post a photo of him tomorrow once he lands safely in here
Have a great evening and rest of the week

The Wonder of Life is what it's all about at Delicious Doodles Challenge

For my card I used the beautiful Deer and Fawn image from Teri and papers from Funky Hand.

Spoilt for choice for this challenge as with spring approaching- or is it actaully meant to be here, cause you can't tell with the weather- there are so many flowers about to burst into life and all the baby animals too but decided to use this beautiful image of the deer.

Hope you can join in this fortnight and looking forward to seeing your Wonders of Life

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Delicious Doodles challenge of 2012 and it's all about New Things, so just use anything new on your card.

Do hope you can join in this fortnight with us at

Delicious Doodles Challenge

I am going to try and organise myself better this year and be a better blogger and joiner in of challenges- just feel as if the last three months of last year were a bit hectic. The sun has actually made an appearance which makes all the difference, it's a bit depressing when it's dark when you get up, dull all day and then dark when you come home from work.

I've had a couple of days when after taking the dogs out I have done NOTHING at all so I've done that, bored with it now and need to make some plans of crafty stuff to do, household things to get done and plans for the year ahead as I can stop worrying so much about the dogs as Misty is on the mend- her claws are coming in nicely now and starting to wean her off the steroids and Bud is on medication for his Cushings which seems to be helping, just needs regular blood tests to make sure everything is ok with him

Have a good weekend everyone and to those who have been back at work this week then at least it was a short week and it's now the weekend and to those like me who were off this week, enjoy your last couple of days of freedom

this fortnight's Delicious Doodles Challenge is fun this week it called TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED- so we want to see something unusual or a cute card with a horrible saying etc, so long as its not what you would really expect

For my card I used Teri's snakeskin paper along with Allura and Voodoo woman images

The front of the card says I want those new shoes darling...

and then you open it up and there is Voodoo woman saying And you know if I don't get what I want then the doll must come out!

so I do hope that wasn't quite what you were expecting

Looking forward to visiting to see what you come up with

Cute Card Thursday

This week Cute Card Thursday has an Anything Goes challenge, so I made this card for the challenge.
The paper and the image is from Teri at Delicious Doodles and I just love that butterfly

So dogs are walked and just having a cuppa while doing this then it's Chrsitmas time again in here for me- I always lack inspiration to get started on Christmas so I am using a Hunkydory Christmas kit to get me started cause it's nice and easy just to mount the toppers on the lovely marching card

Misty is doing good now and no limping at the minute- still waiting on the results though cause they are calcifying the nails !!!
Have a lovely Sunday

The challenge at Macabre Monday this week is Kuriously Korroded with Kenny K- so they want to see all sorts of distressing in any way

Fab challenge as I can do distressing- tick and I can do Kenny K too- tick -so off we go... and this is the result

Damsel in Distress

The cobweb is a Delicious Doodles image and so is Mr Spider, so I got out my distress inks and inked the web then distressed the edges and mounted in to black distressed card

Printed the sentiment and distressed this too and there you go, Miss Glamour Puss is well and truly distressed- take it she's not yet noticed the spider or that big smile would be wiped right off her face!!!

Have a lovely day folks
