I Heard It On The Radio @ MAWTT

Good Morning lovely people, I hope you are all well . My this year is flying by it must be my age!!! I just can't get my head around crafting and blogging lately, I have been missing in action so long, I thought I would have been back in a routine by now but I'm just not feeling it!!

I am here today with  a card I made weeks ago again which fortunately fits my DT commitments for the new challenge at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

and this week we have one of my favourite themes

Heard It On The Radio

I've gone with 'Love & Marriage'

You can't beat a bit of Frank Sinatra!!!

This card was requested after I made one very similar earlier in the year (I think everyone I know wants me to use these images together for a wedding card now, thanks Sharon what have you started!) It is my favourite LOTV stamp so I didn't mind too much lol

I've used some gorgeous My Minds Eye papers that I've had for a while and you can tell from the date of the wedding I added to the card, I made this a couple of months ago.

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details and some

 gorgeous inspiration from my teammies.

That's it from me, enjoy your weekend

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Morning everyone I'm a little excited today (I've been excited lots of days running up to this weekend) this is the last card I will be here to post before I fly off on holiday at the weekend. I have scheduled a few posts while I'm away but I won't be around to visit you and comment. Someone has to lay around in the sunshine all day and I'm taking one for the team!!! I couldn't believe it when a friend of mine said she had rented a house in Barbados and she had a bedroom going spare if I wanted it? What is even harder to believe is it took me a week to decide if I wanted to go!!!! Finally I came to my senses and booked a flight so its adios amigos for a couple of weeks. 

Back down to earth with a bump though, first things first, it's time for a new challenge at

DIVA'S BY DESIGN

and this week Rebekah has given us

Buttons and Bows

Easy peasy lemon squeasy just how I like them!!

I've had this Saturated Canary Pack Light image on my desk coloured for ages and I thought it would be fitting for me going away (I wish I looked that glamorous when I'm trying to squeeze everything in my case) The papers are MME and a couple of years old at least. Lots of die cuts, LaLa Land banner, Magnolia So Lovely heart tag, Marianne (I think) Eiffel Tower. The little cream hearts are buttons that I chopped the back off and I adore the pearl string from Live & Love Crafts.

Head over to the main challenge blog for all details of this weeks challenge and the prize on offer from the sponsor

Shape Up @ MAWTT

Good Morning everyone. I'm back today with a news of a new challenge at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

and this week I'm hosting and chose the theme

Shape Up!

Now I am on a major fitness and health campaign but I assure you this challenge doesn't involve anything strenuous or the restriction of chocolate you might need to consume to join in!

Just cards and projects that are not square please!

Here's what I came up with...

I made this card for a commission and later personalised it but I took this picture before I put the recipients name on it. I used another one of my unused Tilda's, I'm working my way through them! Lots of WOC flowers and a couple of rolled ones too. Papers are MME, Miss Caroline I think. The letters are glitter stickers, I have 100's of different stickers and rub ons and die cut alphabets I need to use up!! I was a bit heavy handed with the frantage, Tilda looks like she is hiking through the snow!!

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details and some fabulous shapely creations from my talented teammies. They have really pushed the boat out this week for your inspiration.

This fabulous prize is on offer to the winner this week

Thank you for dropping by and for any comments you may leave, hopefully I've settled back in and caught up with all the  holiday washing and ironing and I'll be along to visit you ASAP!

Fashion

I've used one of the gorgeous Uptown Girls from Stampin' Bella this is Audrey and I think she's super glam!! The sentiment is also a Stampin Bella but I retyped it up on the PC so I could fit it in a circle die cut. The papers and the pearl swirl are MME from last summer I think they are called Hello Sunshine.

Hello again folks you can tell it's almost time for another Bank Holiday as the weather has got cold!! I've been a bit absent as I've been working for a change, not got back in that routine yet!

Today it's time for a new challenge at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

Francesca is hosting with the theme

Happy Easter

My card is a real Oldie but goodie as I actually coloured this image in last Easter to use, but when I went to match it to my papers - it didn't! lol Not one to throw anything away I put it to one side and low and behold I just happened to buy papers that were a perfect match during the course of the year lol !!

 I love this cute Teddy Bo image, I can remember the card I made with it last year! This time I decided to roll out the rolled roses again, it's ages since I made any (no doubt you will be seeing them regularly again for a while now as I enter another phase!) I made them with Stampin' Up card and they really hold together nicely. The Swirls are Cheery Lynn and the papers MME that I bought sometime during the last year.

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details plus news on the prize and some fabulous inspiration from the girls. Francesca has given it a fab new makeover and we have a couple of new members to our little DT family.

Remember to use something on your card that is at least 6 months old to be eligible for the prize and don't forget to tell us what it is in your post.

That's all from me, thank you so much for your lovely comments and support and hopefully I will have a bit more time to blog this next week.

Good Morning to you all, spring is on its way and this week over at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

the lovely Helen is hosting and she is

Feeling Floral

I hope you get a chance to join in and play along with us.
My interpretation is a gorgeous flower display, one of my favourite things!

I've used a cute little Marianne stamp I bought last summer and didn't get around to using and my papers are a gazillion years old from MME, these are the last few pages in the pad but I'm sure knowing me I'll buy another to replace it soon!

The flowers are from (mainly I think) WOC and the cute little bike charm (yes I know I used some of my treasure!) is from the Ribbon Girl I think!

Christine if you're looking, I cut my card on the fold and then cut out a frame with the same shape to place over the top of it so no folds are visible.

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details of the challenge and and prize and some beautiful floral inspiration from my teammies.

Remember to be in with a chance of the prize 

you have to use something on your card at least 

6 months old and be sure to let us know 

what it is in your post.

We are currently holding a DT call 

if you would like to join us at OBAG

Heck of a Challenge

Morning guys, can you believe it's the 1st of March already?  I can see that this year is just going to whizz by at this rate - blink and you might miss it!!

I'm back (AGAIN) today with a brand new challenge at

HECK OF A CHALLENGE

and today we have a lovely theme of

Butterflies and Pearls

As long as there at both on your card/creation somewhere - it fits!!

Here is what I came up with

I used my favourite Tilda from last years releases (I have so many now I'm getting confused - most unused!) and I also did a bit of masking with a Magnolia background stamp. The pretty papers are also last years, On The Bright Side from MME. My pearls are in the form of pearl sprays and my butterflies are a tiny punch and aslo there is a butterfly charm tied on.

Pop over to the main challenge blog for all the details of the challenge, news on the prize you can win and lots of pretty amazing inspiration from the DT.

I love that I got time to play with my Magnolia stamps this week, I promised myself I was going to try harder this year to use my favourite things and I was starting to feel really guilty about buying new ones when I have so many I haven't used - ironic that I made a card using one of the few stamps I had already used!!

Thanks for stopping by again today, I've been a little preoccupied and only dropping in and out of blogland lately - I hope to change that soon!

DIVA'S BY DESIGN

our theme today is exactly that

Love & Romance

Here is what I came up with

 I've used this cute little Tiddly Inks image that I got last year with a voucher bought for me by my lovely teammie here at Diva's, Sarah (Thank you Hunny I love her)

The papers are last years from MME and the red lace is from a pack by Marianne. Assorted die cuts including my new heart in the background from Memory Box and flowers from WOC

It's A Recipe at Oldie But Goodie

Morning Guys, wow how nice is this weather? We are still having lots of visitors to the seaside so I haven't had as much time yet as I thought I was going to have!! At least I'm getting a bit of time to make something.

Today is a new challenge over at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

and my lovely lovely teamie Debs is in charge

I'm finally going to get to meet up with her in few weeks and I'm really excited as I know we will be good friends for a long time.

Anyway back to the challenge and it's a

Recipe 

1 Image, 2 DP's and 3 Flowers

Here's my take on the challenge

I've had this image coloured in for quite a while as I was going to use it for another card months ago but it wasn't going right at the time! My twins are going to Sophie's 21st party on Saturday it's called 'Sophie's Adventures In Wonderland' and everyone has to dress up as a character from the book/film.

We were invited too, Sophie works for us, but someone has to stay here to work!

The fabulous Queen of Hearts is a Mo Manning image, coloured with Copics and pencils. The papers are MME and you will probably know by now (as I've used them so much) the flowers are a MFT die. The gem brads, ribbon and heart pins are all from my stash.

Inside just says 'Let's Celebrate!'

We have a fabulous sponsor this week, the mighty

www.bugaboostamps.com

All the details plus some gorgeous inspiration from my team mates can be found at the main challenge blog page. I hope you will all get a chance to join us this challenge.

While I'm here I'd like to thank all my beautiful friends out there who sent me birthday cards/presents and good wishes, I was overwhelmed by your kindness, generosity and talents. I don't want to list individual names encase I miss someone out, but thank you all - I had one of the nicest birthday's I can remember.

The papers are MME, nestie shape for the frame, a stampin' Up border punch and ribbon and flowers are from WOC.

I Wanna Be Kenny's Girl

Hello my lovely blogging friends, I'm scheduling this post and we have a gorgeous red sky here tonight so I hope that means a beautiful sunny day for us all on Tuesday!

I've managed to get myself a little organised and this is the 2nd card I've posted this week that isn't made for a DT! 

I probably should be getting ahead with my DT work as I just may get busy at work in August but it's lovely to have a play and make things for fun!

I wanted to make this card to join in the terrific blog hop over at Kenny K they have some fantastic prizes up for grabs and I love Kenny's girls, I just don't get enough time to use them. This is only my 2nd attempt at Kenny K images and my first won me a prize at Bling It On!!

This little girl looks a bit like she's been to Glastonbury for a week and has a dirty face as I was too impatient to wait for the printer ink to dry and she's smudged a bit!! lol

Mary J introduced me to this luscious MME paper pad and I had to send to the USA to buy it as it was sold out everywhere. All That Scraps had it in stock and it arrived in no time. The flowers and ribbon are from WOC and I attempted to use a rub on sentiment again after my disaster last week and luckily this one worked!

Thank you for stopping by and looking and for any comments

For my card I have used a Tilda from last year, I'm sorry I can't remember her title, I made the classic mistake of stamping her sitting on nothing and realised just in time, so I cut her out and 3D'd her onto the log (which is also a Magnolia stamp). The fabby papers are MME, they are such lovely quality I didn't want to cut them up! The satin ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the flowers are  either WOC or Magnolia I can't remember lol. The whole thing has been distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
