A Little Bit Of Gossip

Did the title get your attention??? That is the name of this gorgeous new stamp from Sugar Nellie, the new release came out at the weekend and l loved them all and they just jumped into my basket .... I had a rush of excitement when l saw the posties van just down the road when l walked Toby this morning and knew they would be dropping through my box, a quick whizz around Asda and then playtime :).  But which one to ink up first...

Fly Me To The Moon

Hope you are all enjoying Fathers Day, mine is no longer with me so just memories today.
Last week l did not get around to making my DT card for Cutie Pies where the challenge at the moment is One For The Kids so l thought l had better do one and this gorgeous little stamp was part of my bumper bundle win from LOTV a couple of months ago. I don't think l would have bought this one but now l have used it l think it is gorgeous and will be using it again, the little chappie  looks like Brian Cox (science/nature guy on tv) don't you think lol.

You still have a week to enter the Cutie Pie challenge and details are here

CAS Christmas

Hope you are all having a good weekend - l am and enough time to craft too as it is a bit too blustery and a few showers so best keep indoors.  I attempted to colour on kraft ages ago and it went straight into the bin so thought it was about time to give it another go.  I think l quite like it so just might do another one sometime. Here it is a christmas one as l have not done christmas for a couple of weeks and like to keep on top of them, hopefully this one will go in the flat postage box. l have struggled to get a decent photo today

Welcome to my New Followers - lovely to have you popping by.
Hello my lovely blogging friends - sorry l have not been around much this last couple of weeks - l have dropped by from time to time but have had lots of things going on recently. But - here l am back in blogland.  I made this card last night and today had a little drive over to LOTV to see the lovely ladies and pick up a few things - like you do lol x
I have spent lots of time outside lately - in the garden at home and at the allotment and was thrilled when my allotment neighbour (he has been there probably 50 yrs) paid me the highest comment by saying this year my allotment looked the best it ever has - l have had it about 15 yrs.  Everyone l see locally asks me where l have been for my hols as l have lots of colour and l have not been away at all this year - just in the garden.
On with the card:- sorry about the slant, l just could not get it straight

Wedding Couple

Hope you have all had a good weekend and enjoyed the glorious weather.  I have had a fantastic weekend as yesterday l went to LOTV for the open day and did the candle workshop with Dawny, l met up with Tracy (my dt teamie at PB&More@allsorts) and we had a great time and came away with our beautiful candles and a few goodies fell into my basket like they do and l won a couple of the art pads too. I have been wanting to decorate a candle for ages and not tried myself - l can't believe how easy they are to make.
I had some problems yesterday on my lappy and google was bringing up a malware message so l did not want to use it and l am not a fan of explorer, my daughter came over today and checked things over for me and did a scan and everything is ok phew.... l did go on a few blogs last night on explorer and Bev Rochester's site had a malware warning too so not just mine.

The card l made on friday for a wedding my daughter was going too but was not quite ready in time :( and the candle l made yesterday at the workshop and l am keeping it.
