LOTV specials offer - there's still time, be quick!!

The offer of10 (selected) stamps for £30 and the offers on the art pads and paper pads is still on over at LOTV so be quick! It ends Sunday at 12 noon. I headed over there to get the Christmas paper pad I've had my eye on for AGES only to find out that it had sold out. I may have had a hissy fit.

So today's card uses one of the special offer stamps: hydrangeas.

I've teamed it up with the Petal Fresh collection from NitWit Collections.

It's been a busy and stressful week and I'll be glad when it's half term. My little furbaby suffered a complication a week after the chemo and we had to rush him to the vet. He developed septicaemia and needed intravenous antibiotics. The day after he was refusing to eat so I had to troop to the vets with his bowl and his food and sit with him and of course as soon as I got there he was prince perky and gobbled his food in seconds. He is such a shocker!

I have a class tomorrow so hopefully I'll be back tomorrow to show you what we were making.

Thank you for visiting. I really hope to start visiting your blogs again soon. Hugs, Jayne xx

Sweet Peas and special offers over at LOTV!

Get your purses at the ready ladies! At midday today LOTV are running a special offer on selected stamps and art pads :-) I'm pretty sure that the special offer stamps will be 10 for £30. Today's card is one of those on offer, 'Sweet Peas'.

It is such a pretty image :-) I've teamed it with papers from the 'More than Words' pad from Craftwork Cards. I have a terrible confession. I have loads of Craftwork Cards pads that are barely used. The papers are so beautiful I daren't cut into them!!!! Sigh.

Thank you for your kind words about my beautiful doggie. It's been nearly a week since his first chemotherapy session and, fingers crossed, so far no hideous side effects :-) He also seems a little perkier. He's certainly getting plenty of cuddles and attention.

Thank you for visiting. Hope all is well with you. Sending hugs, Jayne xx

Flower Shoppe Lilacs

I've teamed up the LOTV stamp 'lilacs' with the beautiful NitWit 'Flower Shoppe' papers. I made this card for a friend who's been an absolute star over the last few weeks with all the health and dog dramas I've had! You know a person is a real friend when they stick with you when life is utter pants :-)

I haven't done much colouring lately and it's going to take a while to get back into the swing of things!

This is one of my favourite stamps :-)

This is my first LOTV Design Collective card for October.  Thank you for coming to visit, I really appreciate it.

My little doggie starts his chemotherapy on Thursday and we hope that it helps to slow down the spread of the cancer and makes him a little better. Fingers crossed.

Hugs, Jayne

Samuel Taylor's Class

I taught a lovely class of ladies at Samuel Taylor's last Sunday. They were just the best class, so eager and excited to learn and share their knowledge. I had such a great afternoon :-)

These are the two cards we made:

 The panels were made using the Sue Wilson snowflake striplet and we used sheets of double sided adhesive to stick the glitter. We also decoupaged the snowman - though you can't tell here.(Woodware snowman stamp!)

I think this next card was the class's favourite though.

The snowflake is a Joy Crafts die and the holly flourish is from Sue Wilson.

I really love this little snowman stamp - really versatile and very jolly.

Apologies for my bad blogger-ness lately. I have had an unmovable virus for weeks. The main reason for my absence though is that my beloved doggy has been diagnosed with a very rare and incurable cancer. He starts chemo in a couple of weeks and we hope that stops the cancer spreading in the short term. I have concluded, in the last couple of weeks, that your dog will break your heart far worse than any man ever could!!!! I shall go and snivel somewhere else.

Thank you so much for visiting me, it means such a lot. I shall endeavour to pull myself together and visit you soon. Hugs, Jayne xx

More Purple Friends with Squirrel!

Good morning! This will be a super quick post as today I have my two plus my cousin's daughter to look after and we have something approaching a mad house :-)

This is my second card for Squirrel's 'Purple Friends' challenge. This one is Stampingbella's Paige and Peggy pour some tea.

My daughter thinks that this looks like me and my friend Sarah. I, of course, am the one with the mad hair!!!

I hope that you get the chance to join us in this fun challenge :-) All you need is to hop on over to Squirrel's blog and enter a card about friendship that also contains something purple.

Hugs, Jayne x
