Dilly Beans Challenge

OooooooooooooooooooOOOOOO

These little beauties arrived all the way from Sweden!!!!

They are sooooooooooooo fab, I ordered from the new Spring selection but I couldn't resist a few from the others so we have the lush wedding cake, Love Muffin & the cute Babies.

I'm off to get them on the website :)

On My Hols :)

The Gorjuss Girls have arrived, well some of them I am just waiting on the pocket mirrors, they are even cuter in real life if that is at all possible, m only problem is I have had 4 orders for framed pics like mine LOL

This I'm afraid is the only card I'll have on show for a wee while as the only crafting i have with me are my stamps, copics and beads I decide i really need a break fro crafting before the summer starts.

I have some of this little beauty after doing a stamping session wit my friend jenny, she very kindly came into the shop to play, I actually loved the Magnolia Spring set that much I have ordered a few for the shop/website I can't wait!!!!!

This little yellow fellow was the chick my ickle boy(he's 11) made me for mothers day, minus the cream egg as that's long gone lol

My poor blog has been abandoned as i was busy getting the shop sorted, all the orders complete and the kids in check before I left on holiday, we are in sunny York! I love it such a beautiful place with beautiful old buildings and the most amazing quirky shops all over the place.

Yesterday we headed to PC world as my laptop is playing up and hubs agreed I need a new one :) I did think very hard about a pink one but I don't think I will get the right spec or the my price range :( and we went to see the Monsters v Aliens movie, it was funny in parts but the main thing was it was easy on my brain and the kids loved it.

Little Edwin

I haven't managed to get my photos uploaded onto the puter but I thought I'd share little Edwin, I can safely say I'm in love he is such a cutie

hAnglar & stAnglar Request

I am not proud and I am going to beg on my knees if I need too!!!! Does anyone have any of these wonderful stamps for sale????

Or

Would anyone like to do a stamped image swap for some I really really really want to have a play with these beauties & you can't buy them in the UK :( they should really make a sign for my 2 yr old hissi fit but a sad face will have to do LOL

Thought I'd share a couple more Chrimbo creations :)

Latest offerings

Just a few creations I've been working on over the weeks

Still Here But Very Busy!

Got a few pics to share wil you from some cards I've made for the shop, I wasn't sure how well they would go down but I'm pleased to say I can't keep up with demand:)

This little knight was designed for the Chris Durnan design team using Chris's fab sheild template.

Well I'm very pleased to say I have been unable to update my blog cause I've been so busy with the shop & we had a week out as a family for a trip to Wales.

The shop is going way better that I could have ever expected, I'm thrilled to bits with all the lovely comments the customers have been saying and the fact they are returning is fantastic! I've met loads of new crafters and even had blog readers come in to see me which was brill, the craft club is going well, we have a fee seats still free so hopefully when word gets around we'll fill up.

I managed to get the studio sign up finally, only took me 7 weeks!!! looks pretty fab I think, I had my fist scrapbooking class last night which was really daunting but we all had great fun, I'm really looking forward to next weeks jewellery making class that should be great.

Sunday Post Early

Well i expect that I'll be spending the day with hubs and the bambino's so I'm posting this tonight, I was soo lucky to be allowed to have a play in my craft room as well today :o) so I've had a fabby crafting time. These are just a couple of cards that I've designed for the shoppe, I had some baby Magnolia's lying around needing a home so thought I' have a play with them and my cuttlebug embossing folders and with the end of term coming up I thought I'd better make a start on teacher cards, Edwin is soooo cute and really makes the card I think. Hopefully I'll get some more time to play this week.

It's been my last week at work which I'm looking forward to but not, the guys there are so supportive of my big step ahead which I'm really greatful for, they are all looking forward to my bug launch which is great. I'm not looking forward to the goodbyes though, I've had a great time with them and will miss the laugh's I have had with Myra but I'm sure we'll keep in touch as she's such a lovely person.

Busy Bee

Well my wee blog has been left all alone for a while unfortunately I've been megga busy with visitors, the kids & a few things I can't reveal just yet, hopefully ti won't be too long before I can share the uber fabby news-watch this space!!!

I did manage to get some cards done last week before all our busy goings on

More Elmo Work

Wanted to share with you all the reason I've been less active of late, this is the wedding order I told you about a few weeks ago. I'm not quite finished still got the place cards & favors to do but the most important bits are done. I am chuffed to bit with how they have turned out & thankfully so it the bride 2 be, I don't think I'll making this a regular thing I'd rather stick to my baby announcement cards LOL

Another pic from some design team work for Chris, I requested this fab file as I new it would be great with my new magnolia stamp & I'll hopefully get some scrapping done, seen as I live next to the beach I should have no problem finding pics to scrap

It's Friday

Wooohoooo! It's Friday so to celebrate I made a ard usng my fav things, Embossing folder, Magnolia stamps & lush pink pokadot ribbon :)

I am really not getting a lot of crafting done since starting work, I can just about manage my two design teams and anything else made is a bonus but that's the way it's got to be at the moment. I guess I'm feeling fed up cause I don't see my wage at the end of the month with saving it just in case I find premises for a shop but if i don't need it I'm sure I'll manage to spend it LOL

Had a good day at work with Myra we have been working hard, well Myra has LOL we've got target to get each week, we look to get 90% and above where as the directors are looking for 95%-never gonna happen, anyway Myra and I have been busting a gut and it paid off. We reached 92.2%!!!! this is huge for the team as it's never been done before it was just a shame Mike wasn't in to enjoy the celebration. I do like the job but I'm needing something closer to home, I don't like not being there for the kids, I've been asked to stay on as they are impressed with how well I've fitted in and picked up the job but I've decided to actively look for something local in time for my contract finishing, just means if i don't find anything I can stay on with them :)

In the mean time I'm working with Myra to get her wedding invitations finalised, not being big head but they are real nice, she asked for brown & thistles to be incorporated!!! my head was in a spin with what to come up with, so went out on a limb and with the help of Elmo designed a lovely little thistle and a monogram with Myra & Jim Bobs initials, can't let you see it until its all agreed, the worst big is pricing LOL

Rudolf Day

This is my only card made on Rudolf day I'm afraid LOL for those of you not in the know on the 24th of every month we have made a pledge over at UKscrappers to make Christmas cards on that day so come nearer the time we don't get into a last minute dash trying to get them done. Like I say I only managed the one but I'm happy and for me it's a chance to work on designs for the shop's Christmas stock and it's the designing that takes me the longest time.

I forgot Matthew had birthday party tonight so this was a 15 min jobber, thankfully I had some Tilda's coloured & those embossing folders come in real handy, not the greatest but ok for a quicki

Today I got to do some staff shopping and got stocked up, this lot will only last 2 weeks though!! Hopefully the Lentil & Bacon with be in stock next week, Matthew just loves it.

I've got some competition me thinks!!! My wee boy, well he's 10 this year LOL, he made this card for our Christmas & forgot where he hid it so it was safe, no matter he found it and I'm impressed I think he'll be useful in the shop!

All done plus deco's

Finally got my card list done pics taken (thought not very good soz) and uploaded to the puter, no doubt I'll have more to make & I'll probably be using tildas or sugar nellies LoL I just love them and they have got be back into stamping big time!!

Well mine are up, granted later than expected, I normally get them up on the 1st, we put on the Christmas songs get in nibbles for dinner and get stuck in, but this year the village where having disco's for the kids after the light's where switched on so we had to wait till Sunday. I didn't get my songs on though because Star wars was on - never mind! Well we started about 4.30pm and i finished at 11.30pm!!!! I did cook our nibbles in between and eat so take off an hour LOL It's all worth it in the end though as I love this time of year and always always make the most of it.

3 to go

Needed another 80th birthday card because the first one I'd made had to be un-80th as I forgot to make a card for my Mum's friend-opps I used a little tilda that was given to me from a swap i did, ain't she gorgeous I will hopefully be giving a home to a few more if the shop opens.

6 More To Go!

Got another birthday card, two baby cards and while I'm on a roll I've decided to make the kids teacher's thank you cards!!!! just a few then. Sorry the pic ain't great, I took it at night so it's not natural light and looks quite harsh, the big bloom is from Funky Kits well from their bricks and motar shop, DCWV glitter paper which is lush, Around the Block big brad & a lovely Tilda, I can't get enough of these, they will definitely be for sale in the shop :o)

So much to do

Got a few cards to get made in the next few days before I go for my interview on Friday so here's a pic of the first, I used some die cuts with a view glitter papers that Hubby brought back from the States in the summer they are luch and great to work with & I used my Funk-a-liciouse round shape hum hum.

Getting in the spirit :o)

My lovely friend's Bev R & Pink sent me through some lovely Xmas Tildas's & I managed to get five mins to have a play with Bev's offerings, they are sooooo sweet I am tempted to buy more but hubby will not be pleased as i am suposed to be saving pennies for the shop refurb. I can hovever order some sweet nellies from Karen at Funkykits for my Christmas :o) they are being put through production as week speak and we are all on edge waiting for these little babies!!
