the one with more kittens and a bit of stash shopping.....

 

Some of you will remember me telling you about the  cat and her adorable kittens that we found at work this week, so just a little update.......

 

Got to work the next day and we found "mummy" very happily feeding her babies and she pretty much stayed in the crate with them for the entire day.  The store next door to us is "pets at home" and the vet that is based there, came and had a look at the cats and scanned her, but couldnt find any trace of her being chipped, so for the time being and in the interests of safety on of the girls from the pet store has taken them all to her house to look after them all until such times as the kittens can be rehomed, and unless anyone elso comes forward to claim her, she is also hoping to keep "mummy". As cute as they are, im not too sure how Nippy would be with a kitten, as he is very much a mum's boy, so I have decided to stop pecking the old man's ear about them!

 

I still think they are adorable though!!!!

Anyway, no cards today as I have been out spending a bit of money at the Hobbycraft/Creative stitches show at Bluewater. It isnt the biggest venue, but I dont mind that so much, and I managed to get things that I'd planned on getting........plus a few other bits!

 bargin of the day 3 packs of promarkers for £11 - these are my mums, but im sure I will be borrowing them!

 

coloured card stock, some white scalloped edge card, charms and ribbon sliders

Helz Cuppleditch christmas paper, dst and some yummy ribbons 

gorgeous sticky pearls, Marianne snowflakes and Poppy stamps, Ivy

 

So, all in all really good day, if any of you are going there over the weekend , have a great time xx

 



the one with the donkey

Hiya, hope you've all had a good day!

 

So we are now into our second week of our "Christmas is Coming" challenge at Aud Sentiments, which means its time for the Team B DT cards and here is mine

 

 

This image is from our sponsor this time

 

 

Image, colured with promarkers, paper from stash, printed own sentiment and added pearls. I picked this image, because as much as I love cute wee snowmen and Tilda's with candy canes, I think it is also really important to remember what we are actually celebrating. Hope you like it.

 

 

 

The one that had lots of babies in it

Hiya all! Hope you've all had a good day, its been an eventful one here, but more of that in a mo.....

First todays card, I recently came across this these wonderful digi's from dearie dolls digis, and just had to print a batch off and get colouring! How cute is this baby, I've cleaned up enough spillages like this at one time or another. She is coloured with promarkers, the white paper is from Lucy Cromwell and the pink from Fizzy Moon, doily from pretty little ribbon shop, "baby" wording is a cuttlebug die, flowers are a joycraft die, buttons, twine, ribbon and bling from stash.

I would like to enter this into these challenges:
Joanna Sheen - going dotty
creatalicious challenges - baby theme
cupcake craftroom - pretty pastels
digihaven - anything goes
Natalie and Amy - anything goes

anyway, this baby isnt the only one to feature in todays post - look what we came found at work today......

Every now and then we find stray cats mooching around the warehouse behind our store and apparently a stray black cat had been hanging around, and it looks like she may have been looking for somewhere safe to deliver her litter!!! We found 4 kittens snuggled up on top of a pallet of bags of multi purpose compost. We have been in touch with the RSPCA, who have been advising us in the best thing to do for them, as we have lots of lorries and vans around that area during the day we we told to try and keep them in something safe

We are guessing that they are about 2-3 days old, arent they sweet! My hubby has already said absolutely NO WAY to any suggestion of us having one, will keep you posted on what happens to them.

and thats all from me for now xx

the one with absolutely NO Flowers!

Hi all, hope you're having a great Monday! So for many of us it is back to school and work today, and I was definately one very reluctant little soul who dragged herself out of bed and climbed into her uniform today, but thats the first one back done with!

So onto my card, and its challenge day today with THE CUTIE PIES, and we want to see your super cute work BUT with NO FLOWERS - not one!!!

This is my DT card:

the minty one....

Its been a bit of a gloomy day here today, with the wind and the rain and Nippy's walk this morning got cut short for this very reason, so I came home, dried off and got busy......and today's card is the result!

This super cute Bugaboo image is coloured with promarkers (one of which is my new Mint Green pen, which together with this craft paper is making me fancy a mint aero....but I will resist!!!) The paper is Papermania Lucy Cromwell, which I have been using a lot of late and I can see me having to get a second pad 'cos I love it, the fancy square is a Go Kreate die, the circular sentiment is one of my own creations, the flowers are cut using a woodware punch and have finished with button, card candy and some very small pearls.

the one that was Kelly's wedding card

Hi all, hope you're having a good week so far. The last few days have been spent getting the last bits and bobs ready for Cameron, as he has his first day at secondary school tomorrow. We are all done now and pretty much ready to go.

So onto todays card, and this is the wedding card that I made for one of my "school mum" friends, using the super cutie image from Birdie Brown. Red and white was the colour scheme for the wedding, so this was the obvious choice. The sentiment was printed onto white card stock which was then partially embossed. The red gingham ribbon and the red gems came from my local haberdashery and the charm is from my stash, the wee flowers are made with a papermania 1cm punch. The bride and groom were delighted with the card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
crafty sentiments - lets sparkle
dis digi design - wedding,anniversary, engagement
i love promarkers - anything goes

before I finish, just wanted to share a proud mummy photo with you all - this is my gorgeous boy all dressed up and smart in his new uniform

and thats all from me for now!
