Rosie-Dee's Challenge

Didn't show you my LO from last week's challenge, did I? Oops, sorry! Told you I'd been busy, didn't I?!

I haven't made a LO in what seems an absolute age as I've been loving making my cards recently so decided to blow the recent comfort zone out and make one up. So here it is...

Daring Cardmakers - Bunnies & Chicks

Over on Daring Cardmakers, Jo set this challenge this week....

I would like this week to see cards with a chick, a bunny or both!

No bunnies here but there are a couple of chicks stuck back to back and suspended so that the images spin.

Materials:
5" square green card - Debbi Moore.
Papers: Free with Scrapbook Magazine.
Chick Images: Pink Petticoat.
Ribbon: Debbi Moore.
Sentiment: Computer generated.
Fineline pen: Stabilo.
Watercolours: Derwent Aquatone.

Rosie-Dee's Challenge

I'm late, I'm late for a very important date.... (has it got you singing the song from Alice In Wonderland?! HAHA!!)

What am I late for? Uploading my image to the Rosie-Dee's Challenge blog, that's what!

I've got a very good excuse folks (honest!) I've been REALLY busy creating some work at short notice for Debbi Moore and we also had to get the garden ready for our shed which was delivered on Monday morning. A tad bigger than we anticipated I must say. How many people do you know that goes and sees a shed, pays for it then measures the garden to see if it'll be too big? Yep! Will and me, that's who! We thought the shed base looked big...... I'll take some photos when we've sorted out where the wooden shuttering is going as at the mo, it's down by the shed and looks like a dumping ground.

Anyhoo, anyhoo, my challenge photo...


Dee's challenge was Bright and Beautiful - dunno if this is beautiful, but it's a bit bright don't you think! I didn't realise until I uploaded mine to the challenge blog just now that we used the same range of printables from Marieke Vermuelen. Fab range and oh so funky too!

Well lookie what arrived today...

I got one of these beauties in the post today...


I've had a browse through all the files and there really are LOADS OF THEM!!!! (Far more than the sneak preview that I got of the disc in January when Kirsty came down). Money very well spent if you ask me. I have a few craft CDs that I've bought mainly when I first started crafting, and the quality of some leave quite a lot to be desired I must say!!! But this one.... O - M - G!!!! Kirsty has come up total trumps I love it, love it, love it!!!!

Bad news though...... my printer has just ran out of colour ink and I don't have a spare :-( I've just printed the most funky (accidental) colours that fade and have dreadful lines all over them and the sheet is totally ruined! I need to go to Asda or similar to get a replacement and very quickly too!

Before I go.... guess what? Look on the inside of the cover at Kirsty's speech bubble - recognise one of the names in there (hint hint) ONLY BLOODY ME INNIT?!!!!!! :-) All I did was kick the Wiseman up the ass and make her repeat the mantra "I can produce a CD in my own name, I can produce a CD in my own name" a million times a day until she believed in her own talents like I believe in them.

You can buy your own copy here for the bargain price of £15.00. You better be quick as once the word gets out, these little babies are gonna go like hot cakes!

I can't wait for collection 2 (and an ink cartridge for my printer!)

Proud of you Kirsty babes!
Lots a love.
