TEENY, TINY TUESDAY TIME AGAIN

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday!!

Time for another of my dinky 3.5 x 3.5 inch makes.

This used:

Backing Papers:  Sizzix - Little Sizzles "Country"
My Favorite Things:  Die-namics Blueprints 14
Sizzix:  Decorative Strip Die "657482" Alphabetical
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  Swiss Dots
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbons and Button from My Crafty Stash Box

and of course I had to use the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Board for making my matching dinky little envelope

and that is me for today.  I won't tell you how much I love making these because I tell you every time .. .. but I will tell you how I love the fact that more of my little snippets get put to good use.

So there we go .. .. all nicely scheduled ready to share.

Have a good day everyone.

LAZY DAYS

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday!!

Oh how I wish the title of this post was true .. .. and that my day could have been spent like this little hedgie!!

My days are anything but lazy .. .. and this week is going to be even more manic than usual as I try to pull in labouring duties with Mr Heart! I did what I needed to do crafting wise very bright and early, and then did six hours hard labour as we remove all the old cement (and weeds!!)  from between the crazy paving ready for re-pointing .. .. if that is what you call it.  It is going to be a looooooooooooooooooong job!!!

Anything that can ache is now aching!  LOL!!

But the good news is the gazebo was still there and standing as we got up this morning.

Anyway .. .. round to a share I started on Saturday and finished this evening:

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3782J" Lazy Days

Sentiment:  Computer generated using font "Wackadoo"

Backing Papers:  Nitwits "Up, Up and Away"

Leone Em Pty Punch:  Ash Branch

Go Kreate:  Large Frames Scalloped Squares

Woodware Punches:  Daisy in various sizes

My Trusty Sewing Machine

ProMarkers

Ribbon and Brad from My Crafty Stash Box

and that is it for my share today.

Now round to my snippet makes of yesterday.

Lots of questions and emails about those so here we go:

1.  The paper stack was First Edition:  Bella Rose
2.  Heart Stamps:  Stampendous Cling Stamp Heart Stack
3.  The baubles were a die:  Memory Box "Clairmont Ornaments" (this is going to be getting lots of use)
4.  Sentiment on the Christmas card was a digital one.  Part of :  Pink Petticoat "Signature Christmas Too Sentiments"

I think that answers them all.  If not then please just give me a nudge.

OK .. .. that is me for today.  I'll catch you again tomorrow with my Teeny, Tiny Tuesday make .. .. which is thankfully ready and waiting.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Love

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a good weekend!

Sorry for the "no show" yesterday ..  .. .. the day was eaten up on wedding work and preparation for Mr Heart's impending "week off".

Sadly the weather forecast hasn't been looking very promising so we had a little brainwave that if we bought a cheap and cheerful gazebo then he could work under that and neither he nor his cement would get wet if it was raining .. .. .. and if the sun shines then he will be in the shade.  We managed to find one at Aldi which will hopefully do the job.

So the saga continued today and if you could see us trying to put up the gazebo .. .. well Laurel and Hardy sprang to mind .. .. and we just hoped that the neighbours were otherwise occupied and not interested in what we were doing.  We have laughed so much .. .. the type of day that leaves behind happy memories of a day well spent.

I had only been called to lend a hand with the gazebo, but after being drawn into the project I ended up after two hours deciding I perhaps should change out of my PJs and slippers, and put on something more appropriate to the task in hand.   Great headway was made .. .. but time just disappeared .. .. hence breakfast at 4.00pm and very late snippets today.

But here we go:

As always I am lazy on a Sunday and don't list my ingredients .. .. usually because my snippets are from so many difference sources .. .. but funnily enough today all the snippets have come from the same paper collection (as you can probably tell).

OK .. .. time to link up to my makes to Pixies's Snippet Playground and get dinner sorted before we sit down and fall asleep!!

I will hopefully catch you tomorrow .. .. depending on whether the gazebo survives the night or whether we have to collect parts from around the garden and re-construct in the morning!!  LOL!!

Enjoy what is left of the evening.

Love

It has been a quick week don't you think?  Plus tomorrow is August!!!  Eeeekk!!!  Where is 2014 going?!?!?

MEET TEENY TINY'S MUM

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!

I hope your week is going to plan.

I'm not doing too badly with mine.  My scheduled weekday posts seem to be helping in making life tick along quite nicely on my blog, whilst I am busy completing work ready for my August "happy couples" and making samples for new "happy couples".

However, I am sitting on the naughty step with regards returning comments though :-( I will catch up eventually though.

As promised yesterday here is the Mummy of the teeny, tiny card I posted yesterday:

This used pretty much the same ingredients as yesterday (well they are related so you would expect that LOL!!)

Image:  Docrafts Papermania:  Hampstead Collection Sketch Flower
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Tiny Blooming Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Pink Grapefruit"  Yummy!!!!
My Favorite Things:  Die-namics Blueprints 14
Woodware Punches:  Daisies
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Ribbon and Brad from My Crafty Stash Box

You get to see a bit more of that gorgeous watercolour style paper from Pink Petticoat today.  I am loving this new look that Liz is creating.

So here are Mummy and Baby side by side:

I'll catch you again tomorrow with another share but in the meantime enjoy your day.

Rumour has it that we are going to be getting some much needed rain next week.  Sounds about right as Mr Heart has booked himself a week off work to do some repairs to our poorly patio!

Love

TEENY, TINY TUESDAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday.

Here again with another one of my teeny, tiny 3.5 x 3.5 inch little makes . .. . .. I really enjoy making these.

This used:

Image:  Docrafts Papermania:  Hampstead Collection Sketch Flower
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Tiny Blooming Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Pink Grapefruit" (a sparkly new watercolour style download I spied yesterday).  Yummy!!!!

What?!?!?!?  No nails heads or diamond stickles???  What's the world coming too?!?!?

and of course I had to use the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Board for making my matching dinky little envelope

I think it is hard to imagine exactly how small these little cards are .. .. so tomorrow I will share this little card's Mum ..  as I made one of my normal sized cards and this tiny one in the same vein. (Surely you didn't think I had cut into all these lovely new sheets of paper just to make a teeny, tiny card?  That would be naughty!!).

So that is me for today.

Hope your day goes well and I will catch you tomorrow.

Love

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Happy Sunday!

A little bit more bearable in our neck of the woods today .. .. but still hot enough to be drying the washing in the blink of an eye!!  How much ironing have I made?  LOL!!!  (But you have to make the most of it don't you?).

Early morning snippet makes for me - and here they are ready for taking over to share in Di's Crafty Snippets Challenge:

as always on a Sunday I am very lazy and do not list my ingredients but if there is anything you would like to know then please just shout up.

I was a very lucky girlie today as I won the random org for the lovely prize that Di was kindly offering for last week. Thank you very much Di!!  xx 

OK .. .. time to get that washing in off the line before it is too dry to iron  .. .. and some more out to dry!!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Love

Mrs Wishy Washy

HAPPY EVERYTHING!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good day today .. .. it has been a scorcher here.

Even with all the windows open there was not even a hint of a breeze!

No room was any cooler than another so I had a good crafty clear-up in my little craft pod and then worked on this little share:

This used:

Sentiment:  Elzybells (sadly no longer trading) 

Backing Papers:  First Edition Papers "Desert Blooms"

The dark card is actually a lovely aubergine colour .. .. but my camera just doesn't seem to like it as much as I do and is trying to change it!!  LOL!!

I'll catch you again tomorrow with my snippets.  They have all been re-arranged today so I know exactly what I have (and how many too .. .. eeekkk!!).

Love
