EASTER!

No, not yet.....but it is over at AudSentiments!  Our challenge this time is to use an Easter Sentiment.


I live on the Essex/London borders - quite close to Romford and Brentwood! Yep - The Only Way is Essex is alive and well over here!  Luckily, the weather has been chilly, so we have been spared an excess of ORANGE SKIN!   So, as homage to my surroundings - I thought I would use some lovely bright orange on the flowers and of course....the sentiment!


And a nice close up  on the bunnykins - he makes me smile so much!  I just loved colouring him!

So, if you want to bring out your hidden Essex - or just join in with our Easter Challenge (which has nothing to do with Essex really!) then pop over to Aud Sentiments!

Look forward to catching up with you over there x

Delicious Doodles - Chocs and a bookmark!


I was so excited to see this challenge....use ribbons!  Hmmmmm, I thought it would challenge me a bit as I dont really use them very often (and only in a very basic way!).  And then my mojo ran away off down the pub!  Nightmare - as you know, its hard enough to get yourself to do basic stuff, let alone try and do something challenging!

We are sponsored this week by Crafty Ribbons - and they very kindly gave us a selection to play with - really lovely designs.  So, thinks me, nice and easy does it, dont scare the mojo, it might just be slinking back to me (from the pub, remember?)....well, the ribbon dragged back the mojo....but it had a filthy hangover!  Hmmmmm - I ended up just doing a bookmark!  BUT it really shows off the ribbon well!



 Ooooooo - look at these little gold bars!........

 Ahhhhh - they are Josh's chocs for his class pressies.  He breaks up for Easter hols tomorrow.  Used Delicious Doodles image and just a bit of jiggery pokery in inkscape, to produce the wrapper - already coloured of course.  It only took about 30 mins to put them together, including all the cutting, unwrapping and rewrapping - of course, took me longer to play with inkscape lol.


Oooo - nearly forgot....little bit about  Crafty Ribbons

Spring/Easter Card

Sometimes it can be so hard crafting with a sproglet around!  I started this while Josh was doing his maths thingy on the computer - I finished it much later when he had gone swimming with a friend!  Bless!

I tried taking quite a few pics of this because I wanted you to be able to see the ribbon under the punched out border!  Just little things like that make me happy!

Ok - gonna enter this for a few challenges - its actually for an Easter swap so really hoping the intended lady doesnt spot it here first!

Fab 'n' Funky wanted to see "Its all New!" - well eggs, spring etc qualify for that - the image is new - a freebie from .....eeeek ...all I can remember is its called Patches!!! Please post if you remember and I will update!  Oh and also because I have never stuck ribbon behind a punch!  Yes, I know, lots of you probably do it - but its a first for me!

Cute Daisy May thought that Anything goes!  Well , this is anything - and tomorrow it goes -in the post to the swap recipient!
