Issues...

Happy monday evening... Hope everyone's had a great week end... I am going to have to apologise for the lack of blogging at the moment but Mojo is still AWOL! I'm dealing with personnal issues at the moment- you know feelings, hows, whys and all that jazz - and going through a down phase... So not a very happy or inspirational time for me for those last couple of weeks... Should get back soon - hopefully...

Take care and enjoy life...

Easter is on its way...

Yay my connexion is back! It was actually nothing but I won't go into details and all I can say is that I'm definitely not a computer master! Ooops... Lol...

And I even have something to show you! Valerie challenged the Dt at Pink Cat Studio into making a Easter card with lots of flowers on and that is why I have chosen this gorgeous paper from Doodlebug. The card is not that great but I wasn't really in a mood for itt that day - too much on my mind I suppose and it's crushing my Mojo!.... Voila.

Disconnected!!!

Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is having a great week... I'm having major problems with my connexion at the moment and can't connect at all which is driving me up the wall! It also explains the lack of "blogging"! Sorry about that but hopefully this will be sorted out very soon and I'll be back with some cards... Mojo is still almost inexistant too and I'm aching all over too after too much "Wii-ing"! I'm so addicted to Wii sports!!!! lol......

Have a great day and see you all very soon...

Pretty in Pink

Happy Sunday everyone! It's absolutely gorgeous outside but so cold too! brrrrrrrr... Still I won't complain and enjoy the sunshine instead. On another note we are off to Bluewater this afternoon and I'm definitely not one to enjoy shopping! Especially with 3 boys who hate it too... Oh it's going to be fun... NOT! *sigh*

I do have a card for you today!!! And it's for all the lovely people who has left me comments on here. Especially for my previous card. I was watching one of my fave movies last night - A time to kill - while I was making it so it was pretty hard to concentrate. This movie still makes me cry even after seeing it dozens of times... I'm actually very happy with the way the card turned out because I wasn't inspired at all when I sat down and wasn't too sure about the colours either but it has definitely grown on me! And I hope you like it too.

Where's Mojo!!!


Well no I haven't disappeared from the surface of the planet!!!! I haven't blogged for a few days as I had my mind preoccuped with some incident that happened at the school between Ethan and one of his little friend. Ethan is fine and it was not his fault at all but the matter was still pretty serious... So I haven't had any inspiration at all to make any cards lately and my mojo has disappeared!!!! So if you see it could you please send it back to me as it's greatly missed! *lol*...

I managed to make a card last night but I'm not totally happy with it... *sigh*... I have used this cute little dinosaur from Whipper Snapper which I love especially to create babies cards. I also wanted to do something else other tht pale blue which is a bit too common. The greeting is from Pink Cat Studio and the background on the orangey brown -don't know what this colour is!- is from Penny Black... I have added some diamond glaze on the egg. Et voila... Hope you still like it.

She's here and her name is Lily...

This sweet little girl is the newest addition to the Pink Cat Studio line of rubber stamps. Her name is Lily and she is just a bundle of fun! Today the design team members are posting sneak peeks of the cards they have made using the fun new Lily & Tweet stamps. So be sure to check out the team member blogs to see all of the cards.

For the first card I used lots of pink as I made it with a friend of mine's little girl in mind who absolutely LOVES anything pink and she's a right cheeky little Miss. The papers are from Doodlebug and this has to be some of favorite ones too.

I made a Kick stand card for the second one and this stamp is ever so cute - reminded me of when I used to dress up in my mum's clothes and shoes... I used my Nestabilities - again - and the swirls sizzlits.

We are just about 30 miles apart but they had decided to shut the M25 and waht should have taken about 45 mns took 2hours and 30 mns!!! How dare they shut the M25 when I need to go on it!!! The boys were asleep for some of the journey but then the "are we there yet"s and the "I want to go home"s started... And I was in charge of the map reading!! ME!!! We still made it and at least it was hassle free on the way back!!! Anyway the colours of the cardstock and the punches are fab!!! Caz alos kindly stamped some images for me... How sweet... It was lovely meeting her even though it was a very quick visit!

It's the week end!


And a sunny one too! Unfortunately I'm coming down with a cold and it's making feel sooooooooooooo tired... YUCK!!!... Thanks to the boys again... Saying that we know that when they're ill we should stay well away from them but noooooooooooooooo!!! We have to still kiss them and cuddle them even more than we usually do!!! So I shold really only blame myself... :o(

I have finally manage to make one of those Kickstand card!!! It had been on my "to do list" for ages and I really don't know why I didn't make it before because they're very quick! I have used the little monkey from the Missy B set - I found him so cheerful and I really like this set. The papers I used is from Scrapbook Australia - I think - I had never heard of it before but I so love these papers. I used my new scallop square nestabilities too! tee hee! :oD Brads and Ribbon as usual! ;o)

Lovely friend...

Happy Friday! I really do hope that everyone else has the same sunshine as we have down here! Pretty cold but I'm not going to complain about this!!!! To brighten my day even more I receive this morning a package from my friend Sally -at Craft Moments-. She sent me a beautiful card and a "chocolate champagne bottle" -Yummy, won't be able to show you this one as I have already eaten it!!! ;op... I absolutely love those scrummy papers, the colours she used and all the lovely tags... I'm so lucky to have such a lovely friend. So I wanted to share her card with you and here it is...



Update on Ethan's foot... Well as we were aware it definitely wasn't broken but he still can't walk properly on it so I think he did a tendon or something... Which also means no footie for him this week end... Aidan was poorly last night, he had a slight temperature and looked really grotty too... A bit better today but I felt he was better off staying at home today... Tristan's cold still there but it's definitely not affecting him at all! The little Muppet is full of beans!!! Hopefully we'll still manage to have a good week end! I'm collectiong my Stampin up order!!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine if you're lucky to have some.

Love x
