Teddy Bo Challenge # 6 ~ Buttons & Bows

Hello :-)

Hope you are all well on this beautiful spring day! 

It's time for another Teddy Bo Challenge :-)  Can't believe we are up to #6 already ... this year is whizzing by!  This fortnight's challenge is Buttons & Bows and our sponsor is the lovely Nikki at Bunny Zoe's Crafts who is offering one lucky winner a £10 gift voucher. 

When I saw the challenge my heart sank because for some strange reason I don't like using buttons on my cards.  I love seeing them on other people's cards but not mine ..... Strange I know lol!  Anyway I have added buttons to the centre of my flowers and I'm pleased to say I actually quite like them :-)

Papers ~ Papermania 'Summer Bloom'

I have used one of the pre-coloured images which comes in 5 different colour options.  Each image is priced at £1.65 but you can grab yourself a bargain by buying all 5 colours for £5.25 ... a saving of £3!

LOTV Bunches of Love

Hello :-)

Hope you are all well and had a great weekend.  The weather was lovely here on Saturday so we decided to go to the coast for the day.  We had a nice lunch and went in the arcades but it was a little chilly!

Yesterday afternoon I managed to squeeze in some craft time so decided to ink up one of my new LOTV stamps.  These little bunnies are so cute and easy to colour too :-)  Not sure if I have gone a bit OTT with the flowers ... oh well they are stuck down now!

My Lucky Week :-)

Good morning

Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.  I normally work Fridays but have the day off today because it was Chloe's class assembly this morning.  It was based on Comic Relief and they were all brilliant!  A sad day really because it was her last assembly at this school because she will be moving up to High School in September :-(  I really don't know where the years have gone ... surely I can't be old enough to have a child at High School lol!

It must be my lucky week because my Teddy Bea Teacup card was picked as one of the Top 5 over at Passion for Promarkers, I was the lucky winner of Mandy's candy and then today I won Bev's LOTV mini candy!  They say it comes in 3's so i've had my fair share for a little while lol!

No card to share today but hope to make one later this afternoon. It's Chris' birthday on Sunday so I really need to get cracking otherwise he is going to get a shop bought one!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Robbo Robot!

Good morning

Yesterday morning on the way to school Chloe announced it was her friend Lewis' birthday today and she asked if she could take a card in for him.  I offered to make one for him and asked her what his interests are and she said 'robots'.  Slight problem because I didn't have any robot images so after a quick look at my fav digi stamp stores I found this cute robot at Digistamp Boutique ... problem solved!

Sweet Blogger Award

Good morning

Brrr it's another chilly day here in Norfolk!  It was all very exciting in our household after school yesterday because we found out that Chloe has been offered a place at the High School of her choice for September :D  We are still playing the waiting game a little longer to see if Jamie has been offered a place at the local Junior School ... I am keeping my fingers well and truly crossed!  We will find out at the beginning of April.

I have been given another blog award :D  This time from the lovely Donna at My Happy Place ... Thank you Donna x

I have to tell you 3 things about myself and then pass it on to 5 other bloggers.
