Its the first question he always asks when shopping is done - "have I remembered to get Saturday night goodies?" I ask you, have I ever let you down yet?!

My Nieces' 18th!

My Niece is 18 in a couple of weeks!
Can't believe it! Where does the time go?
This, I have made for her, but not sure yet what to fill the box with, will have to seek advice on that one. I'm thinking jewellery - any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have used Funky Fairy "A Chocolate Covered Christmas" download for all the DP's, sentiment is from Craftwork cards, Scroll stamp was from QVC a while back. The rest was found in stash!
I have entered it into this weeks Funky Fairy Challenge which is "No Image Allowed"

Man Cards!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - far to many male Birthdays coming up - so I  had a mega session of making "Man" Cards! Probably a mistake cos  - "bring back the glitter and sparkle!",  I'm having withdrawal symptoms!

Thankfully my lovely brand new CD - "Not for Girls" from PolkaDoodles has come in very useful!

This one I am entering for their latest challenge, which is a sketch  - there are 2 circles there if you look hard enough at the card! - little bit of decoupagish!  I also made a box to put it in - I fancied a change from ye olde envelopes!

These are the others I have made - I hope I've not missed anyone out!

Off to do girlie cards now! Glad thats over with! LOL

WOYWW!

 I love looking at everyones piccies here on a Wednesday as people share their desk spaces, so today  I thought I would do a quick share - so heres mine.
Its not often that theres anything going on, on a Wednesday but today theres a little activity! You might spot my wall - this is where I stick "experiments" that I will probably use later - I did put them in a drawer but its true whay they say "out of sight out of mind" - the wall is filling up!
 On my desk is a project where I am making a co-ordinating gift box and card for my niece - shes 18 next month!
Just as I was about to take a piccie in flew this little critter

and made itself at home on my cutting mat - in fact its still there now!
Its gonna have to go.............Jake........help........................LOL (he'll be no use!)

Funky Fairy!

I saw Joannes plea for more entries to this weeks challenge which is to alter something - sorry I'd forgotten all about it folks!
Thanks Joanne for the reminder!
Heres my entry - I altered a CD - do you think they'll leave me alone if I put it on my "hideaway" door?

What? What did you say?

NO!

I thought so! LOL
All papers are from the free download on Funky Fairy Blog called Doodlementals!
Appropriate I thought!

Off back to my sick bed!

PS - fessin' up again - I think I need to go back to school - obviously can't spell - realised this morning! Changed it now but def. not happy with myself for having to do that!

Mr Men!

This weeks challenge at SSC had me stumped! It is to include a project with a cartoon character on it!
I have none!
Or, so I thought - I then remembered being given a sheet of Mr Men decoupage at the QVC event I attended on Thursday - so here you go!
Not my thing at all really, but then I suppose thats what challenges are all about!
I tried to make it fun so that it could be given to a child!

Perhaps Mr Messy has helped a little too! LOL

Materials used:
DP from Pink Petticoat printed dierctly onto cardstock.
Stamps - snowflakes from Tim Holtz Mini Holidays and sentiment from HOTP
Pearls from Bunny Zoes Crafts

Ok, the men in my life are hungry - thank goodness for slow cookers!
Off to perform domestic duties!
