Last card...

Last day of the year... Is it me or are the years getting shorter! They seem to go by so quickly... I suppose it's just me getting older... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! So I guess this is my last card for this year and the last post too! This is another Pink Cat Studio card! I just love this little Glamourous Kitty! The all set is just gorgeous! I used the paw stamp for the background and the words are also part of the set. The patterned paper is from 3 bugs in a rug and I added the fnishing touch - ribbon and brads of course!!! I already know where this little Kitty is going to go but I hope you enjoy it too...

So I guess I'll see you all next year!!! Have a great New Year's eve...

Mwah!

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope everyone has had a good Christmas. The boys enjoyed it very much - there's really nothing like Christmas when you're a child. They had lots of pressies and spent the day playing their new nintendo games! I was feeling much better - although I still have a massive headache which I can't get rid of, the sort of headache when it feels like your head is being squeezed by two elephants and your eyes are about to pop out!!! We spent the day at my parents in law and on boxing day we stayed home and watched Transformers which I now LOVE and we all have our favorite Autobots now - mine being Bumblebee and well the obvious Optimus Prime of course!!!

I received yesterday my new Bellas and some gorgeous new ribbons !! YIPPEE! I managed to put a card together but I think that my mojo is being crushed by this headache!!!! It's a pretty simple card and I only wanted two colours - pink and brown and there's no surprise there! - tied lots of ribbons together and added some glitter to her top and hair band... Very girly and I'll have to put this one aside for my sister! Hope you like it.

It's very sunny down here today and I hope it is too wherever you are ... Have a great day!

coffee and friends...

Thank you all so much for the get well wishes... I can finally get up today but not for too long as I'm still pretty weak... At least I'll get over it for Xmas day! Ethan and Aidan are over it too now but Tristan was a bit poorly this morning so I hope he'll feel better by tuesday.

Today's post is for my dearest friend Sally who is turning 21 and a few years today! She is one of the kindest and loveliest person I've ever met and I'm very proud to call her my friend... So this card is dedicated to all those coffees - and cakes - we shared together!!! It's a pretty simple pocket card... But it says it all... Hope you like it! Sorry about the poor quality picture - the camera seems to be so heavy today!!!

If it is your birthday too today, have a great day! For those with a bug, get well and keep warm... Have a great Sunday everyone...

Nothing to share...

I'm definitely not feeling any better today and everything is such an effort... I feel like my eyes are going to pop out of my head and that an elephant has just sat on it!!! Won't be posting anything today but we'll try tomorrow... I really hope we'll get all better for Christmas day...

Stay away from the bug and keep warm...

Have a great week end.

Under the weather.............

And this is exactly how I feel!!!!!!!!! Thanks Ethan for passing your bug onto me. Aidan has been poorly too today and Tristan is probably going to be next - at the moment he's still his cheeky little self full of beans too!!!...

So here's another card for all of you who aren't feeling well... The stamp is from Woodware - so cute - and the words from Stamping Bella. The paper is from DCWV - I was supposed to wait until Christmas day to get the pad but I managed to snatch it before then! I matched the umbrella with it too.

Stamps : Woodware, Stamping Bella - Patterned Paper : DCWV - Cardstock : Bazzill - Brads : Doodlebug - Ribbon.

On a happier note I received an email from Emily today saying that my Bellas are on their way! YIPPPPPPPEEEEE!!! But I've been so unlucky with my mail lately that I'm getting a bit worried that they won't get to me... Fingers crossed...

Cool dude with a bug....................

Sorry for not having blogged for a couple of days, I've been full of cold for the past few days but I'm feeling better today... Ethan is also off school today. He was complaining about not feeling too good on Monday during his nativity play - so he had to go home before I got a chance to see him do his part. Yesterday he really wanted to go to school for the Xmas party but he came back home not looking too well... He's usually a real chatterbox but today he hardly said anything... Poor little mite. Wonder which Muppets will get that next!!!...

So today's card has been inspired by my beautiful boy... I love this little dude - which is from Rubbadubbadoo I think -. He's one of Ethan's favorite too! The Delicious papers are from Chatterbox and I coloured the image keeping the same tone. Because it's a boy's card I couldn't really add ribbon so I added some orange string instead... Ethan loved it and hope you like it too...



Stamps : Rubbadubbadoo, Stamping Bella (words) - Patterned Paper : Chatterbox - Cardstock : Bazzill - Brads - String - Cuttlebug Embossing folder ( Bubbles).

Keep warm and for all of you who aren't feeling too well, have a speedy recovery!

Black or with cream???

Happy Friday everyone!!! It would be happier for me if I didn't have this horrible cold coming... Thanks Muppets... lol

How is everyone's Christmas shopping going then!? I thought I could stay with the spirit of shopping!!! I personally hate it but for those who love it here is the card for today... I don't know which brand the patterned papers are from but I just had to have them because they were just so yummy! The rubber stamp is from Rubber Romance again -those stamps are just so chic -, I used the same papers for her bags, added black glitter to her little dress, hat and shoes. And I managed a card without flower and brads BUT I still had to finish it with ribbon and buttons! Hope you like it...

My gold ring........

I thought I had to share this picture of Aidan with the gold ring he wore for his xmas play at preschool!!! He brought it back home the other night and wears it all the time now! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww... He still sings all those christmas songs. Yesterday he went to his school xmas party and now he's been doing the hokey Cokey since - and tristan joins in going "ooooooooooh Cokey Cokey"... He also came back so happy to have seen Santa!!! He asked him for a Nintendo Ds - so he can connect with his brother! - as we told him Santa had run out of Wii! Bless him ...



Love x

on a cold and frosty morning...

Wow... I'm overwhelmed by all the responses for the blog candy!!! It's going to be hard to depart one of my precious Bellas but I definitely know that wherever she goes, she'll go to a good home! If you like them -as much as I do- Emily has some fab new ones on her site so go and have a look there Stamping Bella... I just couldn't resist... :D

It's freezing out there today and the cards for today have been inspired by the frosty mornings we've had for the last coule of days... They're pocket cards, ideal to put a voucher or money inside. The stamp is from Pink Cat Studio and I love this little Kitty and the words . The gorgeous papers are from DCWV -my favorites in the pad and I've run out of it *sniff*... Used lots of glitter too. Melissa, hope you like it... * wink*...



For this second one, I have used this cute little angel from Rubbadubbadoo. He reminds me of Aidan with his blonde hair but the difference is Aidan is NO angel... lol The Scrummy papers are from Basic Grey and have added glitter to his wings and halo. The insert says "With every good wish for Christmas and the New Year" and I have stamped pale blue snowflakes on two opposite corners. I wasn't sure if it needed something else on the front but I din't want to draw the attention away from the little cherub... Will probably get back to it!



Remember to keep warm and have a great day...

Sweet Treats......

Well they are empty for the moment but I will fill them up! lol... These are the little boxes I have made for the boys' teachers.The tutorial can be found on the Scs website... I don't know if you can see it on the picture but I have stamped snowflakes on the red box with clear versamark (my arm still hurts!!! lol)... I had planned on making some fudge to put inside but I won't have the time to make it so I will have to go and buy some... They are pretty simple but I didn't want anything fancy at all and it says it all on the front. Aidan was very pleased with what I made and he went "wooooooooooooooh" when he saw them!!! Bless him...



Just noticed the counter has hit 3000 -in just over a month I'm thrilled and thank you all for visiting my blog. Hope you like it and will keep stopping by... So what about a little blog candy??? Would you like??? Well... I'll tell you all about it tomorrow so be tune!!! Got something fab for you...

No cards today I'm afraid... (Sorry Sally!) but look at what the postman brought me this morning!!!! They're soooooooooooooooo cute but I have to be put them away until Christmas day... I'm desperate to ink them up! Boooooooooooooh this.... Still , I also received some SCRUMMY YUMMY papers too and they're definitely not going away!!!



I have made last night some little boxes to give to the boys' teachers for Christmas. I will try to add them later on as for the moment I can not get a decent picture.

Enjoy your evening.

He's a fan of Elvis....

Hope everyone had a nice week end... We went to a shopping center yesterday because the boys wanted to see Santa -I just knew it was going to be suicide! Once we got there we couldn't find Santa's grotto because they decided to move it and put it outside!!! Anyway I was glad to see it wasn't that busy -especially so because it was raining and cold- but then an elf came to ask me if I had a ticket!!! You have to book in advance to see Santa!!! I was fuming and the boys were very disappointed too....

Now let me tell you about Edwin! He comes out straight from the 50's and he is a big fan of Elvis! He's got his Rock'n'roll Lps and is waiting by the juke box that plays "Love me tender"... Lol... Obviously Edwin is from Magnolia and all other stamps on this card - background and jukebox- are from Pink Cat Studio. They are part of the retro 50's plate. How cool is he!?



Stamps : Magnolia, Pink Cat Studio - Patterned Paper : DCWV - Cardstock - Ribbons - Brads.

For this second card Edwin found a girlfriend to Rock'nRoll with!!! Awwwwwwwww... I think they make a really cute couple - and I don't know why I do have this thing for Pink- blue and black for 50's cards! lol ...

Soppy little me...

Happy Saturday!!! Well it's raining and very cold down here and it's a bit of a miserable morning... Aidan's play yesterday was soooooooooo cute and he was lovely as a gold ring! He sang, danced and played his little part... I had tears in my eyes - I always do at school plays! Soppy little me... The card for today has absolutely nothing to do with christmas, children or gold ring!!!! It's a lady one... This stamp by Rubber Romance is so sophisticated, I love it as the lady is so chic. I just wanted black and blue for this card so I decided not to colour the background on the image but leave it as it is. I love the way it turned out and love this dotty paper. Hope you like it and that it brings you a bit of spring.

Fabulous fifties

I just love the fifties . And who didn't ever think that the Fonze wasn't cool! lol :D My fave part was the fashion back then... Really scrummy clothes so this set of rubber stamps - from Pink Cat Studio- has to be one my favorite. I just love this outfit, the shoes and words are also part of the set and there is some more great stamps on the plate -a gorgeous cadillac too!. I wanted the card to be only in white, pink and black but I added a bit of blue in the background. I had to colour this little pooch on the skirt in pink! And it wouldn't be a **Isa** card without the ribbon, brads and buttons!

Nellie had a friend!!!

And I think his name is Luca!!! I actually realised that I hardly had any stamps for little boys' cards -not very good when you have 3 boys yourself!- so I definitely wanted this one... And I just love this little pirate. Isn't he sweet... And the card was a hit with Aidan this morning! He loved it -unfortunately his birthday is not for another 4 months!!! The papers are from Chatterbox -yummy colours too! More brads and ribbon of course et VOILA ....

Nellie came to play!

I had to try those little Sugar Nellies! They're pretty cute too and it was fun making this card. I only used scrap of papers I had in my drawer -got so much of them now that it's getting to the point where I can hardly close this drawer! I love this papers by Basic grey, the colours are just fab and give you a lot of choice for your image. I added a little button to her cardigan and some brads to her little boots to make them look less plain. The blue ribbon matches the blue on the PP. And there she is ... Hope you like her.

Oh la la... Je ne fais pas un tres bon boulot a traduire mes postes! Desolee...
Il fallait que j'essaies ces petits tampons Sugar Nellies. Ils sont plutot mimis et j'ai beaucoup aime faire cette carte. J'ai juste utilise des bouts de papiers que j'avais dans mon tiroir -j'en ai tellement que je ne peux presque plus le fermer! J'adore ces papiers de Basic Grey, les couleurs sont fab et elles vous laissent un choix varie pour votre image. J'ai rajoute un bouton a son gilet et des "brads" a ses petites bottes. Le ruban bleu va avec le bleu du papier. Et la voila... J'espere que vous l'aimerez.

Passez une bonne journee...

Wintery again...

I had to make some more christmas cards - I'm so far behind - and I wanted to make some funky ones! Something that wasn't too christmassy to make but still felt like a wintery card... If this makes any sense!!! So I used Snowbunnybella because I just love her and Bella always put a smile on my face... Lots of glitter there - it looks pink but it's clear - brads and ribbons where I added a couple of buttons too -well the usual! Very girly and I have already found them a good home!!!

Happy Monday everyone!!! Like they can ever be "Happy" those ones!!!! Hope you all had a great week end. I spent some of mine making some NONE christmas cards! I've just had enough of those for now I think!!! I needed something less "Wintery" so here is what I came up with!... I've had this patterned paper for years and never reallly liked it until last night!!!! I think it goes really well with this stamp and how cute is beachabella!? Would kill for a figure like that too!

Busy mums...

Being a busy mum of 3 little monsters, I know how hard it is to get time for yourself so I'm dedicated this card to my sister -who has 4 boys of her own!- and all the busy mums out there to remind them to take some time for themselves whenever they want and CAN ... The stamp is a Bella one -the words are separate stamps-, I've added stickles to the bubbles of her bath and diamong glaze on the bath tub. You like?

This second card is for all the Pooch lovers!!!! Those stamps are so much fun. They're from Pink Cat Studio -available from Craft Moments. How cute is she with her Funky glasses on and her little scarf and I have used liquid applique for her fur -heated up once dried and diamond glaze on her glasses. More of a cat lover??? Watch this space for Kitty :D!!!

Kim's Challenge...

Kim at Simply Fairies is having a blog candy, the challenge is to make a birthday card and this is what I came up with for it! This is my first challenge and it was really fun to do. Been feeling a bit down with very little self confidence lately so I really enjoyed making this card.

For those who haven't read previous post. I used a Inky Antics rubber stamp which is a Christmas one but there is no way I was only going to use it for Christmas!!! Far too cute to stay in a drawer for the rest of the year!!! I just masked her little Christmas hat for this card. I tried to match as much as possible the colour of the dotty patterned paper -YUMMY!-, added some liquid applique to her outfit, diamond glaze to the vespa, a couple of flowers -I really like those plastic ones as it makes a nice change from the Prima ones!!!- a few (!!!! :D) brads and I love the greeting! Ta da da............... here it is!

Tilda had a house...

There was no cardmaking for me last night as I was far too tired from the previous night and Prison Break was on -now I have to wait until january to see what happens next ... Aaaaaaaargh!!!! Neverless I do have -of course- a couple of cards to share with you! They are part of my Magnolia collection!!!! I really couldn't resist this cute little house -although I kept taking it out of my shopping basket and putting it back in!!! It's so cute... I have added diamond glaze on the windows and on her little red shoes!!!

For those who already visited yesterday, you might have noticed that I have changed a few things on the cards I posted!!! I wasn't very happy with them so I have changed the flower, added some ribbon and re-coloured the background on both too!!! I'm hoping to receive my new Hanna stamps set soon too so it will give you a break from Tilda!!!!

I'm so tired this morning!!!! Aidan had a terrible night and was up for a couple of hours until 4.00 am! So I hope I'll ype this right as my eyes are really struggling -and that is even with my glasses on!!!!... On a more fun side, I had a good play with my Magnolia stamps and they're so cute! I just love colouring them BIG TIME!!!!

So here are a couple with one of the stamps... I love this stamp as it reminds me of this time of the year wiht all the leaves falling and all that... I will add glitter to her wings -ran out of it last night!!!- and a greeting on the bottom on the right. I've had this papers for ages but never really had the right image for them. This one works really well -I think!

KIDS! KIDS! KIDS!!!

Bonjour!!!

And happy Friday!!!! Hope the sun is shining wherever you are! It is down here but for how long, who knows!?!?! It's nice while it lasts though and it makes me happy!

Today's cards ... Kids ones! Aidan has another party to go to in a couple of weeks and I thought I might as well make the card now -the last time I had to go and buy one (shame on me I know!!!). I'm not very happy with it and my excuse is that I made it at 2.00 am this morning aka the bad colouring and embossing!



Stamp : Rubbadubbadoo - Cardstock - Ribbon - Cuttlebug bubbles embossing folder.

More Magnolia now I'm afraid!!! My friend Nathalie asked me to make a card for a little girl -great excuse to use Tilda!!! Here is what I came up with... You can never really go wrong with pink for little girls but I do hope she's no Tomboy!!!! I personalized it and it says inside : you're 5, let's celebrate!

Cardmaker Block!!!


Hello everyone!

Happy tuesday! It's still pretty miserable down here.. Rain and cold which probably caused my "Creativity block"!!! And I'm suffering big time! LOL... I find it so hard sometimes just sitting in front of a blank card and nothing comes to your mind but I still managed to make a few cards!!!

The first one is for my lovely friend Sally who loves black and white cards. This stamp is from Rubber Romance and is perfect for this colour combo!!!



Stamp : Rubber Romance - Patterned Paper : Doodlebug - Cardstock - Ribbon - Gemstones - Cuttlebug Swirl embossing folder.

This second one is a pocket card - I loved the tutorial of it on the Scs site!-. I love this colour combo too and the cute little angel!



Stamps : Rubbadubbadoo - Patterned Papers : Basic Grey - Cardstock - Ribbon - Gemstone - Glitter glue - Brad.

And finally, the last one but not least! This one gave me such a hard time and I'm still not 100 % happy with it!!!! Might go and change it again!!!!

Joyeux Mardi! C'est toujours aussi gris dehors . Il pleut et il fait froid et c'est surement ca qui a cause mon "blocage de Creativite"!!! Mdr... Je trouve ca tellement dur des fois de m'asseoir devant une carte blanche et aucune idee ne vient mais j'ai quand meme reussi a faire quelques cartes!

La premiere est pour mon adorable amie Sally qui adore les cartes Noires et blanches. Ce tampon est de Rubber Romance et il est parfait pour cette combinaison de couleurs.

La deuxieme est une "Carte Pochette". J'ai craque sur la technique que j'ai vu sur le site Scs. J'adore cette combinaison de couleures et l'adorable petit ange!

La derniere m'a vraiment donne du fil a retordre!!! Et je ne suis toujours pas 100 % contente avec le resultat!!!! Je vais peut etre aller la modifier encore!!!

Aujourd'hui j'ai aussi signe pour le Stampers Club de Caz a Stampin up!!! YOUPI!!!!

Bisous x

Because I just love them...


Ethan keeps giving me notes with how much he loves me written in them and so he asked me if I could make him a card with the little Dinosaur stamp I have! So I made him this card just to tell him how much I love him too!



Stamps : Whipper Snapper, Stamping Bella - Patterned Paper : Pebble Inc - Cardstock : Bazzill.

I have just received this stamp and I love that cute little puppy! Couldn't you jsut take him home! And how many times have I found Tristan all tangled up in Toilet paper!!! So I have dedicated those 2 cards to Aidan and Tristan who are my double trouble but I just love them...

Have a great Sunday!!!
