I've coloured 6 of the Crafter's Companion Molly Harrison fairies now. They're just my thing and I'm sure it's cheaper than therapy!<br />

This one is one of my favourites- but each time I colour one my favourite changes!<br />
<br />
I can't buy them all (the puppy fund finally has some money in it so I'm not spending anything) so I'm glad the manager of the local craft shop has lent me the stamps to make samples for the her :-)<br />

The manager of the craft shop where I run classes lent me lots of the Molly Harrison fairy stamps so that I could colour them and make samples for the shop. I've been colouring all week - my eyes are totally boggled now!<br />
<br />
This fairy is one of my favourites, although to be fair, there isn't a rubbish stamp among them.<br />

<br />
It was all going really well until a great big blob of ink fell from a juicy pen! I did my best to save it but it's all I see when I look at this one.<br />
<br />
It's been a bit of a crazy week - drama everywhere. If this week is the same I may hide in a cupboard. Shhh, tell no one!<br />

Do you ever buy a pack of papers and wish, as soon as you cut into them, that you'd bought two packs? These Anna Marie design papers are lush and I so wish I'd just got an extra pack.<br />

I really love this pretty blue colour - it's a beautiful pad. I used some Sue Wilson flower and foliage dies and a LOTV sentiment.<br />

I went to get Indigo's school blazer out of the cupboard and as I hung it on the cupboard door I found huge, mahoosive splodges of white paint on the inside :-( Seriously! I checked the outside last week. I may be drying the blooming coat with a hairdryer if it doesn't dry tomorrow.<br />
<br />
On a happier note, I made another thank you card :-) This time I used the Simply Sweet elephant stamp set. It's now available as a digi <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/664200047/simply-sweet-stamp-set-elephants-jpeg?ref=shop_home_active_6">https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/664200047/simply-sweet-stamp-set-elephants-jpeg?ref=shop_home_active_6</a><br />

I really love these elephants - I've had the set ages but have only just got around to using them. I'm having a massive clearout because I'm determined to start using the stuff I have but can't see the wood for the trees at the minute!<br />

Over at As You LIke It the challenge is thank you cards. Seeing that gave me a little nudge and reminded me that I really needed to make a few of said cards. As my arm and hand are no better I'm trying to keep colouring to a minimum :-(<br />
<br />
I used a lovely little LOTV digi (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/706452921/lotv-digi-stamp-gc-little-friends-rabbit?ref=shop_home_active_9&crt=1">https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/706452921/lotv-digi-stamp-gc-little-friends-rabbit?ref=shop_home_active_9&crt=1</a>) and also used the little heart bunting also from LOTV.<br />

So my Dad bought my daughter a bag for Christmas which had 'Sassy, Classy and a Little Bit Bad Assy' written on it and this sassy image makes me think of the bag!<br />
<br />
I love this stamp from Polkadoodles and I've used it a tonne of times.<br />

I have to confess that turning this into a shaker card was slightly more tricky than I had anticipated. I'd got to the removing the backing from the foam tape stage when my daughter, who NEVER want s to talk to me, suddenly decided to come for a chat. Distracted with our chat I pulled the backing off a piece of tape, the card moved and a thousand flipping sequins went miles!! Yikes. It took me for ever to remove sequins from the tape and get it stuck down. Life lesson learned.<br />
<br />
The second life lesson I have learned this year is not to play hangman with a 6 year old who can't spell. Loving this year already!<br />

This week at As You Like It our challenge is to tell us what your favourite method of adding text to a card is! I can tell you that after countless stamping disasters I'm very fond of a shop bought sentiment! I can't tell you the number of times I've spent hours on a card only to stamp a sentiment in a haphazard and wonky manner!!!<br />

Over at the As You Like It Challenge blog our theme for the next couple of weeks is Pink and Green or Orange and Blue. As you may know (I may have mentioned it!) I have a strong aversion to orange so that was never going to happen. I therefore chose pink and green! It's also one of my favourite colour combinations as it's super versatile.<br />
<br />

I've used one of the new LOTV snowmen digis and some Hunkydory dotty paper. The poinsettia is also from Hunkydory (Donna Mosley keeps using this die and it always looks amazing on her cards so it climbed to the top of my 'need' list).<br />
<br />
I'm having a printer trauma - it won't take my copic card so I'm using crappy thin card that won't blend. I may be in a small strop!!!<br />

The challenge this fortnight at As You Like It is to use your favourite flower - and tell us why it's your favourite. I don't really have a favourite flower (mainly because I don't know what most of the are - I could spot a rose or a poppy and then I'm stumped!) So, my card contains pink flowers because I love all pink flowers!! When my husband sends me flowers he asks the florist to use pinks and purples and NO yellows or oranges. Sorry - I loathe yellow and orange!<br />
<br />
So, pink flowers it is!<br />

The challenge at <a href="http://asyoulikeitchallenge.blogspot.com/">As You Like It</a> for the next fortnight is Summer or Winter colours (and why you chosen that option).<br />
<br />
I decided to go for lots of bright summery colours mainly because I'm so sick of grey miserable weather! This card was the Kit and Clowder May '19 markers class and it comes highly recommended!<br />

I have, at last, got an appointment at the hand clinic today and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they have options that don't involve surgery!<br />

The challenge for the next couple of weeks over at As You Like It is to make a card using an image from your favourite stamp brand - and tell us why it's your favourite.<br />
<br />
My favourite is Lili of the Valley and has been since I started crafting over ten years ago. I love the super cute images, they're a pleasure to colour and are always super popular.<br />
<br />

Over at As You Like It this fortnight we are hosting a His or Hers challenge. Do you like making girls cards or do you favour making those tricky cards for boys?<br />
<br />
Unsurprisingly I prefer making girls cards. There's just soooo much more you can add to a girl card. Ribbon, pearls, gems, spangles, feathers - oooh so much froth!!<br />

I love this Tonic 'A Good Year' bottle die - especially in this beautiful satin red card. Topped off with this Stampingbella stamp (one of my faves).<br />
<br />
I hope you can join us for this challenge xx</div>

I'm very late with my <a href="http://asyoulikeitchallenge.blogspot.com/">As You Like It Challenge</a> project this week :-( The challenge is to make your favourite non card project. I'm very fond of tonic bags so I decided to use my new Kings Cross Case die. As a first attempt it's ok - but I can see some tweaks are needed!!<br />
