Spring has Sprung @ MAWTT

Hello folks me again!! And today I have a card to share with you for a brand new challenge for the B Team over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

and my bestest blogging buddy Lisa set the theme

Spring Is In The Air

Well this is scheduled so I really hope it is!

 I'm super excited today as we have a FANTASTIC new sponsor at MAWTT Towers, the mega amazing

Pairie Fairy Store

and this lovely little lady is 'Pretty Gillian' and she is one of my favourite character stamps (after Tilda of course!) Just look at that cute little face, how can you not love her lol. I coloured her in with my copics and the papers are last years Echo Park.

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

I'm still a bit busier than I would like to be with getting ready for our Summer Season so not too much time for blogging, but it does go quiet again after Easter so I will get around more soon.

Thank you for your visit today and any lovely comments you leave

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Summer Sunshine @ MAWTT

As this post is scheduled I'm wondering if we will actually see any Sunshine this year!

If you're wondering why I haven't visited, I'm still away in the Lakes and there mustn't be any signal, else I would have visited you! I hope your missing me as much as I'm missing my blog and you guys!

It's day 3 of my mini marathon and this time its new challenge day at

and the very lovely,  newly married new teammie Claire is in charge today

and she wants to see some

SUMMER SUNSHINE

lol don't we all! I hope all the rain means at least a heatwave later in the year!

For my card I've got little Lewis from the Prairie Fairy out again, I really love this little dude and this time I've tried to make it like he is in the water with a little artistic license the flowers and swirls represent waves! yes? no? lol

The papers are Fancy Pants and I've used Copics to colour. A little glossy accents on his glasses.

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

Re challenges, if I can I'll link up later

Lil' Dude

Well it's not such a good morning in my part of the world today folks! It's really grey and miserable but I suppose we have more to be grateful for than a lot!

I'm here to sneak in a quick card between DT's. Since I've had this flu thingy my mojo has gone missing and try as I might I just can't make a DT card! So I thought I'd try something different and I've had little Lewis all stamped out waiting to be coloured.

I love Prairie Fairy images and Gillian made an appearance here a week or so ago, this is 'Lewis At The Beach' how cute is that little face? and I hate 'crocs' with a vengeance but his are just adorable! The papers I've had forever! Brown chipboard letters for 'Dude' and a die cut wave is about it on this one.

I can share some news today as it's finally been announced on the blog, I've been bursting to tell - I have been chosen to join the fabulous 

http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.com/ 

They are going weekly and the fantabulous Rebekah was looking to expand their DT, my official start date is Feb 8th but I couldn't wait that long and will I will be joining in from next week. At last I will be a real Diva! my family have been telling me that for years!

Thank you to everyone who drops by and reads my drivel and to everyone who leaves a comment - it never ceases to amaze me how excited you can get by that! Hello to all my followers, old and new.

Quick Gillian

Hello all, today is a quick post of a quick card I made a couple of days ago. In fact it doesn't come much quicker than this as this cute little digi stamp 'Gillian' was coloured in when she arrived at my computer! The fabulous 'Prairie Fairy' sent her over in all different formats and all I had to do here was colour her shoes and socks in!

I needed a card really quickly as I just found out one of my 8 sister in laws has just gained a 2:1 proving you can teach an old dog new tricks as Vicky turned 50 last year!
Inspired by the fabulous Pinky, who makes the best (and most) personalised cards in blog land I decided to add Vicky's name.
The lush paper is Kaiser Craft and the tassel has been kicking around my craft room forever! The flowers are WOC and I gave her a lovely pair of sparkly diamond earrings! lol

Hope your having a glorious weekend, it's meant to be scorching hot today which means I should be manically busy!!!

Gillian, Corry and Claudia Rosa

Hello my lovely bloggers thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog today and have a look around I hope the sun is shining and all is well with you.
Today I want to share with you a card I have made purely for Corry and her whopping candy blog post. Corry is celebrating 2 years in blogland and has a massive candy to give away. She is about to go back to work after maternity leave and as Corry is a nurse I thought Gillian from Prairie Fairy was the perfect image to use for her card.

Claudia Rosa from Pretty Pressings came up with a fabulous sketch just for Corry and this is my interpretation.
The papers are Kaiserkraft and I thought had the look of a chart, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Craft with the exception of the green one which is Magnolia. I have used a nestie, rub ons for the sentiment and ribbon from my stash. I used some glossy accents on Gillian's glasses.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.
