Thank you Jo :D

Hi all,

Do you know what I love the most about this wonderful addictive craft of cardmaking? It's the people you "meet". Especially now in the techno world. I have met so many amazingly talented people, most of whom are on the other side of the world from me. I also love that these wonderful people (all of you) are so willing to share their passion, time, knowledge & creations with each other. To me it means a lot.

For example this wonderful card was a part of my prize from Jo. I was blown away that I actually won something :D, but then when the postie delivered the mail I found this wonderful card as well. Sorry about the aweful picture, but we still haven't had one day of complete sunshine :(.



The only problem I have is that you all can't see this card in person to fully appreciate the fantastic"ness" of this card. I can't wait to use the stamps that I recieved as my prize & to share them with you all. They are just soooooooooo sweet. If you have yet to see Jo's blog then I suggest that you go visit her here.

Have a "Hoppy Easter every Bunny" :D TTFN

Lookie what I got :D

Hi all,

Well I am sooo happy it's sunny outside YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are a few clouds in the sky but they are the big fluffy white kind & are few & far between. The sun is out & today looks like its going to be a nice one. Gotta love that :D.

Look at this gorgoeus card that I got from the very lovely & talented Alice. I just love this card & yes it has pride of place near my cardmaking area so I can gaze on it all the time. Although that wont be for much longer, as my LSS Daisychain is going to borrow this card for a little while to display in the shop. Alice has kindly agreed to letting this happen. So thank you very much Alice :D.


This is my card from the equally lovely & talented Kelly. I was lucky enough to be Kelly's person in Deborah's latest CCC challenge. I am so in awe of Kelly's talent with her copics, I love being able to see all that detail in person. In fact this card by Kelly has inspired me to make a card in a simular style.

This is my version of Kelly's card, can you tell ;)? Looks nothing like it I know. I did try what I hope is simular shading on Mudpie & his "eggs" (which are really jellybeans). I also added my trusty diamond glaze to the eggs just for that something extra. You can also check out my flickrstream here for some more pictures of this card.

Thanks for stopping by - TTFN

A Beautiful card & a pregnant rant

Hi all,

Well as usual of late my posting has become even more sparodic, due to in a large part my baby brain!!!! Honestly I am considering changing the name of my blog to "The rantings of a deranged Pregnant woman!" Or TROADPW. I understand that being pregnant changes you. All those little hormones running around doing their best to keep up with the changes & all. But honestly why does that mean I have to have a serious case of BABY BRAIN!!! Or start sobbing (I've gone way beyond crying here) when I watch an ad on the telly for a show I don't even watch!!! I am not a crier normally, ok I will admit getting a tear when watching Animal rescue shows like RSPCA but hey who doesn't. I am also over the feeling ill every SINGLE day, even when I'm taking something that is suppose to help. And don't get me started on the heat! Well enough of the self pity.



This gorgeous card is part of a parcel with some stamped Greeting Farm images from the very lovely & talented Donna Mikasa. Isn't this a beautifully done card. I just love everything about this card. The colours are wonderful, the buttons are so yummy & the image is beautifully coloured in. Plus Donna was clever enough to alter the image of Pregnant Anya. For more info I suggest checking out Donna's blog. She has posted an entry on this wonderful card which does it more justice than I can here.

So thank you all for putting up with my rant today & for all your well wishes. Trust me they are very much appreciated. I also try to visit your blogs regularly as well. Till next time - TTFN

Look at what Em & I got in the mail :D

Hi all,

Firstly I would like to say I'm sorry Linda :( for taking so long to post pictures of your cards. Would you believe me if I said I couldn't find the camera till now? Honestly how a camera can go walkabout is beyond me, it must have been gremlins!!!

Em & I got these two lovely cards in the mail the week before last. From the very talented Linda aka Oz. It was a wonderful surprise to recieve these in the mail :D. Especially as that particular day was rather stressful. I just love these cards!!! Em's card is the Pink & chocolate card & my card has the fish & kitty on it. I have to say I just think those fish are so cute as is the kitty (of course).

So if you want to see more wonderful cards & LO's I would suggest heading over to Linda's flickr stream here & while you are there maybe leave her a wonderful comment or two ;).

As always thanks for stopping by & for your wonderful comments TTFN
