Thursday 30th July

Well I can't quite believe that tomorrow will be the last day of July this year, time is flying, my baby starts primary one in under 3 weeks time, all set to go though, uniform, shoes and bag all ready for him, and he's still quite keen to go to school with his big brother, so fingers crossed it stays that way.

My card today is for the Bizzy Becs Dt call, see post below for more details and I have added the link now (oops brain like a sieve), they have provided a sketch for the Dt call and this is my take on it.

I have had a minute or two here and there today to make this card for you, I have used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday and this is what I came up with....

Baby Pics

Heres a few piccies of my new nephew Izaac born 19th June weighing 10lb 3

He's a wee star, not a squeak all day, a real wriggler, and so like my brother. xx

Funky Kits

Just wanted to say that once again Funky Kits have out down themselves, the fantastic service is out of this world, for a must have stamper like me I hate having to wait for orders, well from time of order to receiving my order it was under 24 hours.

My new magnolias from Sir Stampalot arrived today as well, can't wait to get a chance to play with them all.

At Last He's Here

Can't believe the waiting is over, my new nephew arrived this afternoon at 13.16 and weighed in at a whopping 10lbs 6, they've called him Issac Norman Richard Symon, and can't wait to go see him tomorrow, the boys are over the moon to have a new cousin, I'll be back tomorrow with some piccies hopefully, and what more could my mum ask for a birthday present, as it was her 56th birthday today and she now shares it with her new grandson.

Finally it's Here, the Sugar Nellie Blog Hop.

Well the wait is finally over, and the Blog Hop to mark the release of the new range of images from Diana Daze at Sugar Nellie is now off the starting blocks. and when you see what the girls have come up with I'm sure you're going to love them too, I hope you are are set for your hop over the world wide web to see the fantastic creations.

I was lucky enough to be one of the lucky few chosen to launch these images and when I received my image I loved it, I was lucky enough to receive Shaken, not Kissed and I think it's fab, anyway onto the hop, you should have arrived here from Paulas page at Cardcraft Creations, if not I would suggest you pop over to the beginning at the Sugar Nellie and follow the links from there, you will be amazed at the creations they are all so different and all so beautiful.

I have made two cards for the release and have another ready to be put together which all going to plan i'll get posted later this evening.

This card I just love the colour combos used on it, and in case you wondered I used the sketch from The Sugar Bowl #12 and I love the layout for this one.

Anyway back to my card for today, I have made this using my promarkers, and the challenge this week over at Passion for Promarkers was to use Royal Blue and Berry Red, not colours I normally use, but after colouring in several different images I settled on another Miss Anya, heres what I came up with using the sketch provided over at Sketch n Stash as well.....
