Ooops, A Little Late ~ 'A Gem Of A Challenge'....

Hi all! Long time no blog. Apologies, but we're a very busy house here at the moment. We decided to start decorating several rooms at once, get some new furniture and also have a bit of a move around. Four children create so much clutter and I can't abide it, but on the other hand I'm not very ruthless when it comes to 'getting rid'. So some practical storage solutions are the answer. I hope you all stick with me over the next few weeks as comments and posts will be few and far between I'm afraid. I can't wait until we're all straight and I get stuck in with some serious crafting again.

So onto my (late) DT card for A Gem Of A Challenge.

Many items can be purchased from Crafty Emma's Store....but not for much longer (boohoo!) as she's closing down. Lot's of bargains to be had in the meantime though, such as discounted card blanks like the one I've used today. 

Thanks so much for popping by today. I'll be back tonight to finally have a catch up with you (mouse permitting!) Then I'm definitely off out shopping tomorrow to buy a new mouse.

A Gem Of A Challenge & CES Challenges...

Hi all. Hope you've had a good weekend? I'm a bit run off my feet with the children and other stuff, so this is a very late DT post from me this weekend, sorry! 

Over at A GEM OF A CHALLENGE Jackie has this lovely Aquamarine piccy for you to take inspiration from.

Meanwhile over at CES CHALLENGES  Shell's theme is;
'NO GIRLS ALLOWED!'

I used this super cute 'Teddy With Roses' digi stamp from Pink Gem Designs. I coloured him with my good old Copics.

Many of the other items were from Crafty Emma's Store, including the Authentique papers, card blank & Candi. And there's a special offer on at the moment;

***25% off everything (exc gift vouchers & digital images) over at Crafty Emma's Store until midnight Sunday 1st April...Enter the code sale25 at checkout****

I also used my Martha Stewart punch,

Sorry it's a quick one but it's bath time for the kids. Hopefully back later for a catch up. Thanks so much for stopping by!
