Hello!...

Hi all. Hope you're well. We're still busy decorating. It's taking much longer than expected and I've had to postpone the delivery of our new sofa until next week. I'm just checking in to say ''hello'' before I disconnect my computer for a few days as we are decorating the area where it is today. My Son hogs the laptop all the time so I'll be practically without Internet for a bit.

Before I go I need to tell you about a couple of things.

First have you seen the latest releases over at DigiStamp Boutique? Great aren't they? I love the matching sentiments and can't wait to have a play with them.

Just click on the pic to go straight there...

The next thing I need to let you know about is a little weekend sale going on over at Pink Gem Designs.

For this weekend only, they have 10% off polymer stamps and 20% off digi products. So please be quick and grab a bargain!

Right, must crack on so I'll see you when I see you. Thanks so much for popping by today.

A Gem Of A Challenge & CES Challenges Sad Farewell :-(

Hi all...hope you're all well? I'm still mostly AWOL from blogland, taking a break to do some much needed DIY jobs around the house. We are in the process of decorating the bedroom that my girls share, making it all grown up for them....and also the living room at the same time. We need to get all the living room decorating complete by Wednesday latest, as we have a large black leather corner suite being delivered on Thursday. I think it will suit our large family better that the 3 piece suit we currently have (which I can't wait to see the back end of!). It's all been done in dribs and drabs so far, but hubby has some time off after this week so we can really get stuck in. I also want to paint the kitchen, downstairs loo and bathroom. I think once you start it shows up the other rooms doesn't it?..

So I won't be back in full blogging swing for a little while, and I'm being a really bad girl not having time to leave comments sorry! But I'll still be here with the odd DT commitment such as today's card, and I truly appreciate you taking time to pop over and see them :-)

So here's my card for both A Gem Of A Challenge (fab sketch below, by Gemma)....

  

....& the very last CES Challenges as Emma is sadly closing her store. Our final theme is;

'Anything Goes'

Ingredients;

Steampunk Owl by Pink Gem Designs,

Copics,

Webster's Pages,

Whimsy Sentiment,
Tim Holtz Bigz Weathered Clock Die,

Distress Stickles,

Tim Holtz Gears,

Gems & Brads.

With it being our farewell challenge over at CES, there are some fab voucher prizes up for grabs. Hope you'll join us with both of the challenges. Please do check out the work by the fabulous DT's. 

Thanks so much for popping by,

Jenny xx

CES Challenges & DigiStamp Boutique Newies...

 Hi all! Taken a little break from the decorating and housey stuff this morning to make a DT card for both CES Challenges & DigiStamp Boutique rolled into one. I can't get any painting done with all the kiddies about anyway, and they're off now until Tuesday. So I might have chance to do a bit more crafting over the long weekend all being well!

Carrie's theme over at CES this week is;

'SHAPE IT UP!'

So no square cards please!

So many new releases this month over at DigiStamp Boutique including a Father's Day set, and a London themed set.......I was spoilt for choice!

In the end I used this little cutie riding his bike from the 'Funtime Dan' collection, one of the 'offer's of the month'. 

Ingredients;

Copics,

First Edition Papers,

Go Create Oval Dies,

Memory Box Cloud Dies,

Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch,

Whimsy Stamps Sentiment,

Card Candi.

Please do check out what the rest of the CES team have been up to. Sadly our challenges are drawing to a close soon as Emma has decided to close Crafty Emma's Store in the near future. In the meantime though, please do check out the clearance offers.

Thanks so much for popping by today!
