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

Get Funky

The challenge this month at Get Funky is SPRING CELEBRATIONS as set by our lovely Kathy

For my card I used papers from the adorable new Spring Has Sprung download - available here

The butterfly paper is so pretty and the sentiment nice and cheerful and I teamed them up with a punched butterfly using one of the plain papers from the collection and added some wire.

You still have until the 14th to enter in the challenge but don't forget that you must use at least 1 Funky Hand product on your project in order to qualify for the fab prize on offer. But there is a Funky Freebie backing paper to download from the Funky Hand website http://www.funkyhand.com/ to help you if you enter the challenge.

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

Delicious Doodles

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.
I used the new Fallen image by Teri along with papers from Funky Hand for my 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

Funky Hand

These are some of the samples that I made from the new Craft the Year Away Cd from Funky Hand which you can find HERE

It is a wonderful CD full of lots of gorgeous papers, word books and a new work area where you can pull papers through and add your digi images and words and there are templates too, so you can see what it will all look like before you print it off- no need to run back through to add sentiments to the papers, you can do it all in one go.

And the amazing thing is it updates your other Papercraft Factory CD's to include the new features

I hope you managed to watch Create and Craft this morning at 10 am where the CD was released because Anice showed you all the wonderful things the CD could do - infact I'm off to play some with it, it's just wonderful
