Crazy week!

Huge apologies for my absence! What a week!! I was asked to make some last minute samples for a Debbi Moore POTW (this Friday I think) and said yes when perhaps I should have said no!!! Trying to slot in crafting in between family days out and my daughter's 5th birthday was just ridiculous. If any cards fall apart live on air or you notice sentiments that are upside down, well, they'll be mine!!!

I made this today, in between playing 'Doogy Doo' with my daughter. What a fabulous game - you feed a plastic dog yellow 'food' take turns to pump the lead and the yellow squidge comes out the other end - all the while the dog is making, erm, windy noises. Man I have never laughed so much - you couldn't exactly call my taste in comedy 'highbrow'. Hehehe. Sorry for that.

The image is 'Moon Glow' Fairy from Crafts and Me; I really want to get some more of these! The papers are the Lucy Cromwell Papermania collection. Hmmm, I've now run out of the pink papers in this pad :( The flowers and ribbon are from WOC but the scrummy lace is from the Ribbon Girl (ooooooooh I got me some tuille too - it's yum scrum and I used some on a Saturated Canary card today! Yippee yie yay!)

I need a lie down in a darkened room now! It's been a hectic but fabulous few days. Indigo's party was a brilliant success; she had 16 friends at a play gym and they all had a whale of a time! We can't move for presents now. We'll be building lego houses and zoos until her 6th birthday!!

Thank you for popping by, it's always reassuring to know I don't spend my whole time talking to myself! I made a Finnish Star as a sample and am hoping to get another done for Thursday with some sort of tutorial to go with!! Hmm, it wouldn't be wise to hold your breath! Super hugs, Jayne xx

Funky Fairy!

Nothing makes me happier than making a card that features purple and black! This one was a bit of a struggle because I've come down with a throat and ear bug (that's oddly made the back of my tongue swell!) so I was crafting whilst wilting last night!

This is my favourite digi image of all time - Hannah Lynn's 'Moon Glow' fairy from Crafts and Me. I coloured her to match one of the papers in the digi Forest Fairy paper pack also from Crafts and Me. I made the card because I found out that Crafts and Me had a challenge blog and were having a 'use a digi' challenge.

This was coloured with promarkers (I like the blues better than the copic colours for some reason). The flowers and ribbon are from WOC. I've used the Memory Box Spring Border die and decided that I really love it in black!! The tag is a Magnolia Doohickey die and I've stamped an LOTV birthday verse on it.

I'm off for another lie down - man I hope I feel better tomorrow, I'm a real grumpy patient!!
