MFT High Tops - Craft Mojo DT

Hello!  I'm back with one of my occasional posts.  Sorry for the long gaps... the daft thing is I do have a few cards made, but just haven't found the time to blog them!  I'm still not back into regular crafting, but hoping that when my downstairs craft room is built I'll get into a better routine again... although it'll be a few months before that's all done.

Anyway... here's a card using some fab Craft Mojo goodies.

I like making male cards, but teenagers are always a bit more difficult I think... this MFT shoe die is perfect though.  It's quite big, but this card is 6"x8" so it looks smaller here, and works really well with the large sentiment stamp.

And here's an up to date photo of Chester, now 5 months old, enjoying his first visit to the beach in Filey a couple of days ago... we all had such a great time, everything's more fun with a dog :o)  See the red spade in the background?  He wouldn't let Dex dig with it, he kept pinching it and running round in circles with it... little monkey!

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening!

Hello everyone... sorry for the long gaps between posting at the moment, I'm just not feeling very creative lately.  Hopefully this will improve soon!

Obviously I'm very drawn to all things puppy at the moment, so I couldn't resist using the Cute Pup set... this is one of the new offer sets, and is just £1.25 for a fab selection of images and sentiments!

Yappy Birthday - Craft Mojo DT

Happy Saturday :o)

Here's my DT card for Craft Mojo, which is also doubling up as my entry for Less is More this week.  Their challenge is 'this makes me happy'....

... and here's what makes me happy!  Along with the rest of the family of course :o)  He's very tired in this photo, as we've been for a long walk today... we didn't mean it to be quite so long, but we got a teeny bit lost, all hubby's fault lol.  Chester is 15wks old now, and it feels like we've always had him.

Stitched dies always make me happy too, so I used some of my favourite MFT ones... and I decided not to colour the image for a change, and just added some touches of white Prisma pencil.  Oh, and I quite like punny sentiments too, so I masked the 'h' of 'happy birthday' and added a 'y' from a Paper Smooches alphabet set.

I'm also entering my card for the following challenges
Simon Says - anything goes
Papertake Weekly - take your pick (I chose to follow the 'kraft card' challenge)

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening!

Valentine Dinky - DigiStamp Boutique DT

Hello everyone :o)

I'm running late as usual, but here's one of the new images from DigiStamp Boutique... this is Valentine Dinky.  Cuuuuuuute!!

The card didn't exactly turn out to plan, and neither did my colouring... but that's the way things seem to go at the moment!

We took Chester for his first walk on Sunday... I've been so looking forward to getting out with him.  He's pretty good on the lead so far, and I've really enjoyed our first little trips out, although this morning's walk was in thick fog and was just a little bit spooky!

Apologies again for being such a rubbish blogger lately, I'll get into a routine again eventually I'm sure!  Thanks for popping in... hope you have a lovely evening :o)

Flower Bird

Hello everyone :o)

As usual I'm very short of time... just thought I'd quickly blog this one, seen as I managed to finish a card.

This one's for my auntie's birthday... it's not the one from me though, it's for my mum to give her.  It's mum's birthday tomorrow and I've still not finished her card!

I'm very excited at the moment, as it looks like we'll be able to go ahead with the extension... and the builder recommended going with the version I really wanted, which Pav thought would be too big a job.  Very happy and I can't wait, although I'm not looking forward to the actual work being done!

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening :o)

Without Words - Je t'aime

Hello everyone :o)

Well I'm a bit late, but I'm here with my DT card for this month's challenge at Without Words, where our theme is 'Je t'aime'... so we'd like to see all things lovey dovey!

I used a cute image from DigiStamp Boutique called Love You Mac and some random Doodlebug papers... My friend asked for a valentine's card for her hubby, and this little dog looks just like their dog Percy, so he'll be perfect.

I've managed to position a little bed for Chester in the doorway of the craft room, and even convinced him to sleep on it ;o)  So hopefully I'll be able to get a teeny bit more done from now on... I really need to work on him being left alone, but he just hates it and barks his head off the whole time.  We've tried ignoring the barking, feeding him in the crate, giving him a special treat when he's left, tv on, music on... I even bought an album that's supposed to calm dogs down, that didn't help either!

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening :o)

Ralph - Birthday Fishes - DigiStamp Boutique DT

Hello everyone :o)

I know it's a bit of a rare occurrence these days, but I have managed a card... Here's a fab new character from DigiStamp Boutique, called Ralph (love him!).

I've used lots of random scraps from different Doodlebug pads, as Chester doesn't give me enough time to come up with actual layouts at the moment!  I've found that I can get quite a bit of colouring done sat at the dining table, because he can settle at my feet and he's quite happy... he drags a little cushion over and makes himself comfy lol, it's very cute.

Chester's given us the push we needed to start getting some quotes from builders for the extension we're planning... the plan is to have a downstairs craft room, and maybe an extra loo, then the boys can have separate bedrooms and Chester can be near me whenever I'm crafting... we'll have to see what the quotes are like!

We're off for his 2nd vaccine now, so we can start going for walks soon :o)

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening!

Fabulous Birthday...

Hello everyone :o)

Well it took me a couple of days, but I managed a card for an order...

And an action shot of Chester in the snow.  I hate the snow, he loves it... not having much luck convincing him to come back inside once he's out in it!!

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening :o)
