Hello everyone, a quick update on what's going on....
My Mum has been in hospital since Monday for tests with a view to an op' so I have been on visit duty. Obviously this means I have practically no time to hop round the blogs. I will catch up soon, all being well.
Sally-Ann at the DigiStamp Boutique is releasing new images tomorrow, 1st April, and take it from me they are as cute as cute can be!
I received an award from Sandra, thanks for thinking of me. It is now proudly displayed on my side bar. I have already posted interesting facts about me but will try to come up with something new to share soon.
The countdown continues. When I got home from the hospital last night I was at 98. So welcome and a big hello to my new followers.

Made for Each Other
And the countdown continues....only three to go...and if you have not got a clue what I am wittering on about see the post at the top of the blog!
It is my lovely friends wedding anniversary and I immediately thought this stamp from Lili of the Valley would fit the bill perfectly. The papers are 'green at heart' by basic grey and they must have somehow fell into my basket when I was shopping for my candy the other day. Don't you hate when that happens? I coloured the image with prismas.
And you can't make a card without it fitting a challenge so this follows the sketch over on Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
I am off now for my usual Sunday jaunt...latte, scone and natter.

Happy Easter Tulip Jungle
Tiptoe through the tulips, through the tulips, that's where I'll be, just tiptoe...Ok I'm going to stop now. This is one of my favourite PBs but only seems to get an airing in Spring, which is a shame, note to self, use this stamp more often!
The bit of dotty paper is My Minds Eye and I used Prisma pencils to colour the stamped image. I nearly didn't use the little oval button in the centre of the flowers 'cos it's so cute, but what am I keepin' it for?
This fits the following challenges...
Penny Black Saturday...spring colours
One Stop...spots and dots
A Spoon Full of Sugar...Easter
The Pink Elephant...spring
Creative Card Crew...going dotty
and finally
Sketch and Stash...great sketch and I have used my new embossing folder (well nearly new, I've used it once before!)

Happy Days
So here we are at the start of the working week, doesn't the weekend just fly past? We spent the day yesterday with my Mum...cinema then a fish tea. Although I did have to waken her up when the film started, perhaps that wee dram first was a mistake, bless!

Another Special Mum
This time using one of my Lili of the Valley fairy stamps. I was determined to use this gorgeous ribbon I got last week at the craft show so that's what decided the unusual (for me) colours of green and orange.
I used the same layout as the bunny card I did earlier in the week 'cos I really liked the way that one turned out!
The papers are My Minds Eye and I coloured the image with, yes, you've guessed, Prismas!
So this fits 4 challenges...
Stamp Somethings...Girly
Magical...Things with Wings
Flutterby...Open Challenge
C.R.A.F.T....Citrus

Happy You're My Friend
Oh dear, another card I'm not so sure about. I normally pick out papers then colour the image to match but this time I did it the other way round and then had bother picking out the papers! In fact they sort of picked themselves and then the card just sort of 'happened'.
Anyway, I am entering it into two challenges....
Rosie D....friendship
Polka Doodles...wings
The image is from PinkPetticoat coloured with copics and the papers are Milton & Co.
I received this award from my blogging buddy Alison (Dragonlady)...thanks for thinking of me. So here are a few facts about little old me ....
