"Holiday's Theme"

Morning peeps !!

My day was turned upside down yesterday with an 8hr power cut from 6am which meant I couldn't really do anything seeing I am all electric !!  Boy did I miss my porriage and tea for breackfast and lunch wasn't much better !!  It does make you very grumpy....

Sorry not been a very good blogger this week either, but I have been very busy and have alot to show you over the next few days with loads of new releases !!

As you know I am very excited to have been asked by Gill to join the Little Claires Design Team and this is my very first DT post !!

Today is the start of our monthy challenge

Challenge #36 "Holidays theme"

and here is the fab prize you could win !!

One set of brand new "Christmas Postcards" stamps

and

One new Dovecrafts Christmas paper pad!!

Going with the holiday theme, I have made a giant postcard card using

 Little Claires Room with a View - Beach Hut

 Done my usual fussy cutting , decoupage and colouring in using promarkers. So I could colour in the Just For You, Birthday and Sun words and not have it bleed through my card, I have stamped it again , cut it out and over laid it onto my card which hilights it a bit more !!

Why not check out the new Little Claires catalogue which is ready for you to download HERE. It's full to the brim with new everything and even inspiration for you from the team !!

Wet t-shirt competition

No matter how many times I enter the wet t-shirt competition I just can't seem to win !!

I thought I could make it round the field with my dogs before it rained, but oh no I couldn't !! Half way round the heavens opened and I just had to keep going.  The joy is short lived when you get back to your car:

1- the windows all steam up

2-you can't lean back as it's COLD wearing a dripping wet t-shirt

3-there is this lovely strong smell of "WET DOG"

So you think the ordeal is over when you arrive home.....

You can't dry yourself off because you have to see to two wet smelly dogs who think it is great fun to chase one another round the house sharing water everywhere !! So you get them sorted and then at last you try and get that wet t-shirt off and everything else which is not easy I can assure you !!

If your still with me I'll show you something nice !!

Went last week to catch up with my friend Nicki and her hubby Kurt. Nicki had made a fab carrot cake which even Jess their cat thought might be nice to try if I hadn't moved it !!

 

  Nicki has a lovely blog which you can find HERE. Why not pop over and say hi. Anyway Nicki gave me these stamps and some lovely ribbons which was so kind of her.

 

 

and I made a cute set on thank you cards using the stamps

 

 These Holly Hobby stamps are really detailed and so much fun to colour in. I just stamped them onto white card and coloured in using promarkers and then drew a wavy black outline and stamped a "Thanks" sentiment, them mounted onto a piece of blue card before mounting onto main card.
