Saturday Shenanigans

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Today, I was due to be planning Halloween costumes with my 'big girl' (she's 7)

But, as is the way of the world, she is ill today, so I am planning all the other Halloween things which don't need her input.....although, she is curled up next to me telling me what she does and doesn't like!

We LOVE Halloween in this house, and the planning for Halloween normally starts just as soon as the school term does but, I've left it a little late this year.

So today, I have decided to put that right, I am planning the pumpkins.......

These were last years, and carved by 'the husband'.....he grumbles every year but, secretly, I think he loves doing them.

I have a feeling that these will start to become a catalogue of my girls' likes....she's already outgrown the Hello Kitty thing!

This was my favourite thing from last year....I bought the basic wreath from John Lewis in the January Sales for the princely sum of £3.

A bit of net and some pumpkin lights later and it was transformed!

These, I found, on the internet the other day, and I dare say a few of them might make it to our Halloween table...

As for costumes, this is currently my (gleaned from Pinterest) favourite for the big girl....

But, as is always the way....she's just announced that she wants to be 'The Tooth Fairy'....

HELP!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Luv'n'Hugs

Fifi Goes Walkies

Hello, Lisa here with a pink fairy creation to show you...

I love all of the Fairy Glen stamps and it's so hard to choose which one to colour... but I decided on the lovely Fifi Goes Walkies for today's card. She's available here at Funky Kits.

More photos and details over on my blog here.

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

Floral fun

I am in love with paper flowers, when spend many pounds on a pack of six or sometimes even less, when you can make them yourself. You have papers, you have punches and dies and I bet you have bling and pearls too!

Jump over to see "what Katie did" on her blog.

Hellooooooooooo...and happy Monday, my lovelies! Pat Frank here once again with another brand new Sugar Nellie DT project to share with you! Today's card is a baby card!

Specifically speaking, it's a baby BOY card! I used a super cute stamp from Sugar Nellie's "Home Grown" Collection called "Cute & Cuddly"! It's available HERE at Funky Kits.
Here's a close-up of these adorable little critters...

As always, I colored this image with Copic Sketch markers...then added a little colored pencil! Here's an angled photo for your viewing pleasure...

Okey dokey...now if you'd like more info on this card plus a look at a couple of additional pics, please visit my blog HERE!!

And that's it for me! But, I'll see you again soon! Have a fabulous week!! Hugs...

SOS - Gorjuss Clearance

Hello lovely stampers, how has your week been?

I hope by now you have at least thought about the season ahead and the possibilities of crafting your way through it.

I have a massive tidy up day on Monday, this week has been crazy with deliveries to the store of Christmas stock, the pop up shop has so many new lines heading it's way if only I could finish some of them. The class room is getting a pre season tidy ready for a busy time ahead.

With that in mind, it's also time to have a clear out over at Funkykits. Over the years it has grown from a few drawers to more than half the class room.

It's time to down size!

First thing to be cleared is Gorjuss stamps from Personal Impressions, they made the second batch of licenced stamps and they have been reduced to clear. With a massive 40% off the already competitive prices, you will in fact pay more for second hand stamps on ebay. But as I write this post up, already 50% of the lines are sold out.

Be quick if you have any to add to your collection. These are no longer manufactured. The third company to licence these images was Docrafts but they did not have many stamps and have not increased their range any. PI held the licence for the most images so their range was the largest out of the three companies, ourself being the first. 55 stamps were available but they are selling fast because we all love a bargin, don't we?

Enjoy your weekend
