Yay... so lovely to see the sun! we have quite a few flowers out in the garden... the Blackbird is singing his little heart out every morning now... so it really does feel as if Spring is just around the corner! can't wait until it's warm enough to sit out in the garden! ;-)
Not too long until the weekend... can't wait for Mr Selfridge again... it's getting so exciting!!

Divas by Design - Rubbert Stamps Only

Hello.... I hope you are all well today.... if not, then I'm sending big hugs and hope you feel better very soon! it's Team A's turn over at 

Divas by Design

and our theme for this week is...

'Use Rubber Stamps Only'

I've chosen one of my favourite stamps... a lovely 'Snow Angel' from Crafts and Me.... by Jasmine Becket-Griffith... I love that she looks so nonchalant... :-) and I've teamed her up with my favourite Prima Papers - 'Rosarian'. I made a slightly similar card a couple of years back using both the Snow Angel and the Rosarian Papers... just in case you think it looks familiar!!
I actually had to order another 'Rosarian Pad' before I could use these papers... I love them SO much!! I now have a brand new pad to stroke and admire - my precious!!! Lol

I've also added some little dewdrops but they don't show up very well in the photos... also I was gonna retake some photos of image to show the sparkle on her dress... but totally forgot!! you can see it a little bit in the photo above, bottom left of her dress...

I've coloured her with Copics and Promarkers for Skin...

Star Dust Stickles added on the dress

Thank you all for your lovely comments! I saw the doctor on Monday and she gave me some antibiotics... thankfully since Tuesday midday I've not had any more noise in my ear!! Yay! such a relief... just need to get rid of this achy, tired feeling and headache now... so will rest and have lots of hot drinks. Don't feel like doing much... but might do some colouring later!  ;-))
Will catch up with you soon!

Valentine's Card

Hi All.... I meant to post this card on Valentine's but never got around to it... this was a Valentine's Card that I made for my Mum... and she absolutely loves it... the very cute 'Birthday Bella' stamp was a Birthday gift from my lovely blogging friend Pami... thanks hun! and I just knew that my mum would love Bella!! I've coloured her with Kurecolor Pens and paper-pieced part of the pressie and the butterfly!

Papers/Sentiment: Kaisercraft - 'Lady Rose'

Bow: Papermania

Nailheads: JosyRose

Lace from Stash

  Unfortunately I came down with the flu bug, the worst thing at the moment is that I keep getting a noise in my left ear, which sounds like a freight train going through my brain... it can last hours which isn't fun!  I have an appointment with my doctor this afternoon... so hopefully she can give me something to help clear it up. I know a lot of people have got this bug and it's a real stinker... so if you have it then I'm sending you huge hugs and hope you get better very soon!!
I didn't watch much TV this weekend but did enjoy Call the Midwife and the programme about Royal Cousins at War :-)

Take Care and I will catch up with you soon!

Love and hugs

Hello... I hope you are all well today...  it's Thursday and the turn of Team B over at 

Moving Along With the Times

and our lovely Vicky is hosting a theme of

'Fantasy'

it doesn't have to be a card... as long as your creation follows our theme.... :-)

 I've chosen this lovely Hannah Lynn image called 'Book Worm'... she was a joy to colour... and my daughter bought me these beautiful Kaisercraft Papers for Christmas called 'Lady Rose'.

Image: Crafts and Me - Hannah Lynn - 'Book Worm'
Papers: Kaisercraft - 'Lady Rose'
Flowers: Bo Bunny (large one) and WOC (little green ones)

the paper looks nicer in real life... it has a lovely glossy sheen.  Some of the flowers here look orange... but irl they are much pinkier!!

I can't believe it's nearly weekend again... we had a busy week last week as we had a Stairlift fitted... then at weekend my daughter came down with a flu type cold... thankfully she is now getting a bit better... but think I might be getting it as my throat is really sore tonight! :-(
Will have to get a hot Honey & Lemon drink... maybe with a dash of Brandy!! for medicinal purposes of course!! Lol
Thanks for all your lovely comments... I will catch up with you soon!

This looks a simple card but... oh how my 'little brain' struggled!! Lol ... I knew how I wanted it to look but things kept going wrong!! anyway, I got there in the end which is all that matters.... :-))
I have to say this card looks better in real life!! it didn't photograph very well !

 I hope you are all keeping safe, warm and dry! we have had lots of rain and gales here, and more to come apparently... but think we have been quite lucky here in Manchester as no bad flooding in most areas.
We are having some work done on the house in the next few days, but hopefully I will be able to fit in a bit of crafting and blogging in between and at the weekend. I have lots of new crafty ideas but so little time at the moment... but hopefully I will get time to play very soon! ;-))
Thanks for all your lovely comments! I really do appreciate them all !

Take Care
