I've Been Tagged - 3 times

I've been tagged by my blogging buddies Claire, Michele, Debbie, So now I have to tell you some weird & random facts about myself and then pass it on to 7 other people.


Here are the rules:

1. Link your tagger and list the rules on your blog.

2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

3. Tag 7 people at the end of the post by leaving their names as well as links to theirblogs.

4. Let them know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.


Ok so here my weird & random facts:

1. I confess that I have a bit of OCD - ok more than a bit....... and the worst has to be that the toilet roll has to be placed in a certain way - and that is the paper has to come from the top and not the bottom - I don't know why but it does. And when I go other people's house, if its the wrong way I have to chance it - yes I know what your thinking........ how weird is this girl - freaky or what !!

2. I freaked out when I turned 30 - I don't know why and that was some time ago, as I'm now slowly approaching 40.... and you know I really dont care !! I still feel like I'm in my 20's

3. I'm a very fussy eater - and if I don't like the look or smell of something I won't try it - whatever anyone says !! Thank god my OH is the same.

4. I run my own business with my OH working for the local housing association - and I'm over worked and under paid, lol..... its not easy and just wish I could win the lottery and give up work - if only !!! lol

5. I'm addicted to crafting, and think if I don't start selling my cards soon - my house is going to be over run with them....

6. I love Greys Anatomy (on Living TV) and have all series on DVD and have probably watched all the series over 20 times.

7. Like most I love anything chocolaties, sweet or anything thats not good for me.


Well that's a few things about me that you probably didn't know - hope it wasn't to boring for you.


And now I pass this to the following - sorry girls !!!

Penny Black Challenge # 20 - Bump In The Night

Hi everyone, wow its week 20 already of Penny Black Saturday Challenge - can you beleive where the time has gone. Thank you to everyone who joined in our ATC challenge last week, it was so lovely to so many entries and such wonderful creations form you all.

Well onto this week challenge:

Bump In The Night

As the night are drawing in and Halloween is approaching, we'd like to see all you wonderful creations on the theme of Halloween.

I had a go at making a Stair Step Fold Card for this weeks card, I fancied doing something different and as I had some yummy foam sticker from Hobbicrafts this design was perfect for them.

I apologise for the bad photography skills, but this wasn't an easy card to photograph and just couldn't get it right.....

Well Im off to my mums for the weekend, so will catch up with you Sunday night and next week.

WOJ + Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I wanted to make a card for my mums birthday next week and when I saw that the fabulous Nikki was celebrating 30,000 hits and asking everyone to make a PINK card - I couldn't resist, of course its my fav colour and I knew my mum will love it.

You can find Nikki's Candy Here

Nikki theme came from the inspiration that October is

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I lost my cousin to Leukaemia over 10 years ago, he was only 18 yrs old. Unfortunately its a sad fact that cancer effects us all, to those dear to us, but we can help by clicking on the link above

Squish a Boob, Save a Life !!!

If you love Magnolia Stamp they have released their Pink Range and with every stamp purchased approx. 41p will go directly to Breast Cancer Awareness (donated directly by Magnolia).
Why not take a peep at these gorgeous stamp

My card was also based on this weeks WOJ Challenge - Sketch By Heather

Thanks Heather for such a wonderful sketch.

I used my new WOJ image ~ Willow with Umbrella and coloured her with Pro Markers

Have a great weekend

Polly Crafts Challenge # 1

Hi everyone, hope you've had a good day.

Im excited to tell you all about a new challenge blog that launched today that my good friend Tracy is part of the Design Team.

The first challenge has a little twist to it ~ which makes it more fun

~Christmas - With No Red~

There's a fabulous prize this week called

Xmas Bessie

She is just the cutest teddy ever - so if you fancy a challenge pop over and take a peek and whilst your there take a look at all the wonderful cards by the DT - why to go girls !!!

Well I only have a few of Paula's wonderful downloads and nothing appropriate for this challenge so I just had to pop over and buy this cutie download - I couldn't resist, lol

And whilst I was there I had to order some of her new range of fabulous stamps too - I know you say - more stamps !! but they are cute.... and now I can play along again, lol

Well here's my card, I kept it simple - to keep the limelight away from this cute bear !!!

I cut the away the greeting around the image as I started to use a 12 x 12 card and realised the image would be too big - dooh !!!! Anyway I think it turned out ok.

He's been decoupaged - but its not clear in the pic.

I glittered the embossing which was a new technique for me - thanks to the wonder Pat at my local craft store. I painted on the liquid glue - let it dry so it went sticky (about 15mins) and then sprinkled Glamour Glitter over it - that easy !!!
