TEENY, TINY TUESDAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday.

I hope the sun has shone for you today .. .. it has been another beautiful day here.

Once again I find myself working on multiple projects at the moment with work all over the house again!! I am going to have to make sense of the spare bedroom at some point though as the London Kids are coming to stay over the weekend!  Woo hoo!!

So here is my teeny, tiny 3.5 x 3.5 inch share for this week.  I always make these with blank inserts so they can be used for a variety of reasons.  This makes them extra useful to have tucked away.

This used:

Image:  Stampendous "CRM238" Block Art Single Daisy
Sentiment:  Imagination Crafts Decoupage Stamp Range "Tulips"
X-Cut Punch:  Tiny Butterfly
ProMarkers
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Glamour Dust
Button and Pearls from My Crafty Stash Box

and here it is with the matching envelope made with the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Board.

Must fly as I still have lots to cross off today's list .. .. but at least my post is a bit earlier than they have been the last couple of days.

Enjoy your evening!

Love

LET'S PARTY!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good Monday.

So here is my share for today:

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4324K" Party Bus
Sentiment:  An old stamp that isn't telling me very much other than Kolette Hall "Party!"  The two words are normally in a frame but I have stamped it and cut it in half to split it over the card.
Backing Papers:  Nitwit Collections "Up, Up Away"
Spellbinders Borderabilities "A2 Curved Borders One"
Whimsy Stamps Die Set: Banner Pennant Die Set
Woodware Punches:  Daisies
X-Cut Punch:  Flower and Corner Rounder

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a lovely Sunday.

The weather has been beautiful here today .. .. a taste of summer again!!  

I found time to have a little play with my snippets today in-between running backwards and forwards to the washing line .. .. and miracles of miracles it is all dried and ironed!  Hence me being late!

So here are my makes for today:

all nice and fresh for taking over to share in Pixie's Snippet Playground.

As always I am lazy on a Sunday and do not list my ingredients but if there is anything you need to know then just ask away.

Catch you again tomorrow .. .. earlier than today !!!!

Love

LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday .. .. ahead of what I hope will be a happy weekend for everyone.

No card to share tonight as everything I have made today isn't for posting as it will spoil surprises.

But I do have a picture of a little gift from Mr Heart that was sitting on the chair in my craft pod as I returned from my Mum's this evening .. .. how did he know that was the first place I would go as I came home?!?!?!?

How lovely!!  My own little set of heart shaped post-it notes.

Of course I said my thank you's .. .. over and over .. .. how nice to be thought of whilst he was out and about.

Apparently they cost a whole 18p!

Just goes to show it is the thought that counts .. .. not the cost.  

I have always been a cheap date!!  LOL!!

Catch you tomorrow.

Love

SKETCH SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday .. .. I hope the day has been a good one for you.

Plenty achieved in the old House of Hearts today so I am well pleased (except that I now need to clear loads of stuff off our bed before we can get in it tonight LOL!!).

Here is my share for today which is for taking over to the Sketch Saturday Challenge where this week there is a choice of sketches to play with.

I made my choice (eventually) and then made this:

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2178J" Hello Present (this is quite a new stamp to my collection and is fast becoming a favourite)
Sentiment:  Docrafts "MTY 906118" With Love (but I have covered a kiss up)
Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "Blank Canvas"
Spellbinders Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box

The sketch I played along with is this one

but there are lots of others to choose from if you want to play along .. .. and there is still a bit of time to enter.

So that is me for today.

Best go and sort that bed next!!

Enjoy your evening.

Love

TOO MANY GREEN SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday .. .. I hope you have had a good day.

The big clear up in the House of Hearts is continuing and I am determined to get my little craft pod in super organised condition and get rid of everything that is pure junk .. .. as in all those stupid banana shaped Cuttlebug plates that  I keep for some reason. Why?!?!  

Plus lots of other things need to sorted and stored more efficiently.

But as always it has to be done at preferably no cost or "very little" (which is probably why my tiny little pod is full of non-matching furniture that has been dis-guarded by others but serves me well).. .. after all if there is money that can be spent in the craft pod I would rather buy something off my crafty "one day I would like" list.

Part of what needs to be seriously sorted are all the scrummy scraps of paper that I just can't part with and tonight's share uses lots.

This used:

Sentiment:  Penny Black "2909E" Smiling

Loads and loads and loads of snippets from the green drawer

Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle

Woodware Punches:  Daisy

X-Cut Punch:  Flower

Button, brads and ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box

and that is me for today.  If I just make another 100 or so cards like this I might feel I am winning in the battle of the snippets LOL!!!

I'll catch you again tomorrow.

Love

TEENY, TINY TUESDAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday!

The weather looks like it is going to be super kind today .. .. I suppose that was to be expected because the schools go back here today after their summer break.  Those holidays seem to have whizzed by very quickly!

Teeny, tiny Tuesday day today, and here is my 3.5 x 3.5 inch share for this week.

This used:

Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "Zipty Do"
Rubber Stamp:  Inkadinkado "90355-Y" (no name but it is a lovely lace background stamp)
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  Swiss Dots
Spellbinder Nestabilities:  Classic Heart
Clear Embossing Powder for the heart snippets
Lace, Gems and Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and I used the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Board for making my matching little envelope:

Lovely to be back posting again!!

Catch you again tomorrow.

Love

WHEELY SWEET FRIEND

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday!

I hope your week has got off to a good start.

I am back in the craft pod getting on with orders this week .. .. the kitchen and dining room are still pretty much "safe zones" and free from "most things crafty" (but nowhere is ever completely craft free) LOL!!.

My share for today uses the lovely sketch from over at Sketch N Stash

This used:

Image and Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Wheely Lovely"
Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "New Leaf"
Cuttlebug:  Flower Die Set "37-1508"
X-Cut:  Flower Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Pearls from My Crafty Stash Box

and if you fancy playing along then this is the lovely sketch that was provided:

Now the second part of entering the challenge is to say whether you are using new or neglected stash on your creation .. .. well once again I have used both.

My new stash is the fabby new download from Liz at Pink Petticoat (though it was on offer for a day yesterday when I purchased it) and my neglected stash was the Cuttlebug flower die.  Not sure why it has been neglected because it makes lovely flowers.  Must make amends and use it more.

I have started making headway in my blogland catch-up.  If I haven't reached you yet then I will be there eventually.  I can't believe how much I have missed .. .. some blogs make me feel like I haven't visited for years they have been so busy.  

Enjoy your day everyone and I'll catch you again tomorrow .. .. for a Teeny, Tiny Tuesday creation!

Love
