In The Garden Card & Photo's

Good afternoon, hope you are having a lovely relaxing Sunday? I am, having got up at 7am today, I had a lovely crafting session while the rest of the house slept, heaven! Then Amy and I popped to Hobbycraft where I brought some more sets of Promarkers, they are reduced to half price at the moment, so go grab yourselves a bargain!

Anyway, I managed to finish my card in peace which I am entering into the wonderful Penny Black Saturday Challenge , where the theme this week is 'In The Garden' and also Secret Crafter , where their theme is 'Buttons & Blooms'. I have used my very under-used PB image called 'Friendly Surrpise'. The rest of my card is made up of Peach & Light Green Bazzill Cardstock, Basic Grey 'Green at Heart' paper, Beige Raffia Ribbon, Labels III Nesties, Hero Arts Sentiment, Prima Hydrangeas and buttons from stash. The little image was coloured in using Promarkers and I have inked around the image using a Momento inkpad named Bamboo Leaves.

I am going to dedicate this card to my lovely cuz Maree who is standing on her head in Oz, she has a fabby blog and makes such beautiful cards, do pop on over. The reason being, is that my card is slightly back to front or upside down, I stuck the bits on upside down, so it is now a back-to-front Easel card, lol! Well it was very early when I put it together, lol!

I wanted to share these photos of Molly with you, as you can see she is sitting in the rabbit's run, she is going through a mad phase, she thinks she is a rabbit! She is always jumping around like them and has now taken to sleeping in this run. Also, the second photo was taken yesterday when Georgia and Molly were having a lovely cuddle on her bed, I just love it!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the sun if you have any!

WOYWW # 51

Good morning, its Wednesday again, time to share your workdesks and mess, lol! If you want to join in, add your link on the lovely Julia's blog here. My desk is slightly messy this week, I have lots of little projects on the go at the moment. I must admit, I am not keen on working in mess, as I am a Virgo, I am always tidying up between projects, so most of my day is spent clearing up instead of crafting, so many wasted minutes, lol!



On my desk this week, Copics and Promarkers, my NEW paper box, papers recenty brought. Some unused lush Laura Ashley stamps, left them on my desk so that I WILL use them. New holepunch, keep losing them, not sure where they go! Anya surfer dude image to colour for a birthday coming up. New Cherry folder which Jess keeps trying to pinch, may have to get her one. Blog candy which I recently won from the lovely Emma. SU stamp sets which I am using for a commission. Momento inkpads, scissors, glasses, SU card set recently made at a friends party. Papermania fabulous butterflies which my friend brought me, phew thats it, I think!

Also, here is a picture of my little orchid. You may remember that I shared a photo a couple of weeks ago, well its in full flower now and it has a slight scent, just beautiful!



Had better go take Georgia to school and get on with my commissions, be back tommorrow with my DT card for MAWTT, it's my turn to do the honours this week, hope you will pop on back to see what I have made.

Enjoy your day, whatever you do. Thanks for popping over here.

Pear Tree Designs, Weekly Challenge # 1

Good morning peeps! It's another scorcer here in Sussex today, too hot to sit outside at the moment. My little cat is suffering in this heat and is flopped out on the patio. She has a hairball at the moment, and we will have to take another trip to the vets this week if it doesn't clear up. She was very naughty at the weekend and caught one of our baby robins, it died from the shock unfortunately, so she has been in our bad books, nature isn't kind sometimes!

I have been asked to join a new Design Team on a new Challenge blog. Pear Tree Design's is run by Donna and today we are launching it's first challenge. It's a fabby sketch to follow and a wonderful Stamping Up card kit set is the prize, it is a wonderful set, I already have it, lol! The little Cupcake image used, can be purchased by clicking on the link.

All you have to do to join in the challenge, is to make a card, become a follower of the blog and leave a link so that the design team can pop on over to your blog and say hi! We have so many great challenges coming up with wonderful sponsors, so please do join in the fun!

Here is the sketch and my take on it -
