Who's a pretty boy then

As you can tell I have really got back into the blogging bug . especially with the weather been so pants today and I also needed a very chilled day as yesterday I had my boyfriends son over who had so much energy , think he took mine to lol.
Maybe I should of gone with a monkey for the wildlife theme at My Time To Craft  but instead went with a parrot .

I know this is a very simple card , but trying very hard to use up all my bits and bobs before buying new goodies as things are starting to over flow in my craft room lol
So the goodies I used are card from bits box , topper is a postcard that was sent to me many moons ago and message that I got from Lakeland when they used to do craft goodies , so shows how long I have had that for lol. 

Fun with snow

Well here I am with my 1st Christmas card of 2014 and its all for the Winter Wonderland Blog who has given us the theme of snowballs , so I thought as this year I plan to use all my old Xmas cards for my own cards this year what better than to use winter wonderland blog to help me with this misson .

Before I get on and show my card I best say who the sponsor is and also what the lucky winner will get . well the winner will get this

 And this is been given by Marianne Design

And this is what I came up with .... goodies used

from my stash - the mirri card and backing paper and a old Xmas card , hope it dose for the theme as they are playing in the snow

Joanna Sheen - card candi

Adam in blue and yellow

As you might of guessed it's a colour theme of blue and yellow from Crafty Creations Challenge.
I am sorry if I keep going on about how much I have missed blogging , but it is so nice to be back in blog land as it so helps when my mojo is on a walk about , which it always seems to do when boys/ or men's cards are needed and plus I like a colour theme as it gives me colours I do not normally use together .
Oh heck I am off on a ramble , sure its lack of sleep making my mind go funny , well time for me to get onto the sponsor who is A Creative Need and Denna will give the winner 3 digi images .

So goodie time
Crafter's companion for the core'dations , backing paper and image are from the Adam and Angelica range oh the yellow paper is from one of their monthly freebies .

My stash - for the buttons , twine and message .

Fairy bling

Have so missed taking part in Wild Orchid Challenges and this time they have on that really suits me and its bling and of course it also means that wild orchid crafts will give the lucky winner a £15 voucher.

So guess I best get on and show my card and say what goodies I have used

For my card base I used my flower fairy card making kit from crafter's companion as well as the decoupage from the same range , the bling comes from my gems that are from my stash and also some glitter spray that is also from crafter's companion . Oh and I did nt think that was enough bling so used some crystal drops from WOC - the lace and charm is also from them and the final touch was the ribbon from fantastic ribbon.

Well its been a year since I have done this so hoping I can remember it all , things have finally settled down as had a very hetic and sad year with moving home , moving my grandparents and then February I lost my grandma so as you can picture did nt really feel like blogging or anything else .But I know my grandma wouldn't want me to be sad , so giving myself a boot up the booty to get on .
