Hippee Girl

Would like to say hi to my new follower, thank you for taking the time to look at my blog.

I was expecting nothing but rain this weekend but have managed to get quite a bit of washing  out and dried.  My electricity bill arrived Friday and I was shocked at how much it was, admittedly we have had the heating on quite a bit and had to use the tumble dryer or else we would have no clothes to wear, but even so it was terribly high.   With my husband being made redundant some time in the next few months I will have to think of ways to cut down on bills, worse thing would be crafting items - silently screaming and stamping feet.

I am not sure how I found this site, but through looking at one thing and another, I ended up with this image called Hippee from Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps.  The site has some really lovely images.

For this card I used the following:

Image from Stitchy Bear
Promarkers
Papers from Making Memories Simply Fabulous Collection
Memory box die
Tonic butterfly punch
Sizzlet corner punch
Flowers from stash
Glitz glitter glue
Papermania pearls

Molly's Present

I was very pleased to see that I had been given an Honourable Mention from The Shabby Tea Room for my card.  Thank you very much.


I have decided to finally have a sort out of my craft items and use all the papers and stamps that have been bought or been free with magazines and use them.   I am just running out of space.  I have lots of odd paper that I am now determined to use up so apologies for not letting you all know what company they are from.

I had this stamp which came with a magazine about a year ago, it had this cute image along with a boy, cupcake and three sentiments, so decided it was time to actually use them. I used Glitz glitter glue on the butterflies but it is not very clear in the picture.

For this card I used the following:
Image and sentiment from Molly Blooms
Promarkers
Pink card and patterned card from stash
Memory Box Leaf die
Tonic Butterfly punch
X cut oblong die
Papermania pearls
Kars pink pearls
Glitz Glitter Glue on butterflies

Cupcake Delight

Hi everyone, finally had a morning making my card, but if it could go wrong it did.  Finally after throwing things away and screaming I made this card.  The paper with the ribbon attached has been in my cupboard for about two years, I opened the pack on buying and then put it away now I have no idea what company it is from. The image was from a set of stamps I had from a magazine which I had not got around to using, I think it was Quick Cards Magazine and they were designed by Beth Gunnell.

For this card I used the following:

Image designed by Beth Gunnell
Promarkers
Sentiment from magazine freebie
Patterned paper from Nana's Kitchen DCVW and from stash
Blue card from stash

Childhood Memories

Hello everyone,  my hand  feels a little better now and I am hoping it will be okay, I think keeping it straped and trying to protect it for a few days has made the difference.

I hope everyone is enjoying our few days of sunshine.  I have managed to get quite a lot of washing done, nothing like be able to dry your washing outside. 

My latest card is featuring a Lili of the Valley image, all their images are just lovely.   I must buy myself at least one of the little boys playing with their toys, these remind me of my childhood when everything was different.  In those days you would be sent off for the day, no one worried about health and safety and I can never remember anyone getting hurt except for the odd skinned knee.  We would all dash off on our bikes which were frequently made up of old bikes put together, I remember mine was an old frame found on waste land near where I lived in Tilbury (local dumping ground for things people didn't want) and then we picked up various wheels etc, painted them in what ever colours we could find at home and the only expense was new tyres and brakes.  Mine was a drop handle bike and I would go tearing off with several of my siblings and friends.  I was one of eight children so there was always someone to go with.

We would take bottles of water and jam sandwiches and that was us set for the day.  We would often go to the moat which surrounds Tilbury Fort and swim in that, of course there were signs saying "No Swimming" but no one took any notice and the place was packed on warm days.  You could meet all your friends and have a lovely day out for nothing.  Now it is completely cut off and you can no longer go and sit by the water and eat sandwiches or jump in if you feel like it.   I suppose if you pay to go in you can have your sandwiches there, but as a child it was fun and I have some great pictures of people sitting there by the moat.  I remember the hand knitted swimsuit episode which was disastrous, once in the water and it would be down by your knees.

Anyway, back to the present.

Lili of the Valley image

Promarkers

Cherry Lynn corner die
