Hey! Hey!

.........it must be a good day. I'm actually sat on my bum and it's only 9pm! Hubby is working away for a couple of days at a hydro-electric power station, so that cuts down on the cooking. Whilst I was doing the ironing tonight, Hal very kindly made his own tea, and I had a M&S ping meal, chicken and mushroom risotto, very nice too. So I'm typing really quickly then I can go a-blogging tonight and see what you've all been up to.


I haven't made any cards this week, but I made this one the last time I was off work on my jolly's, for a VERY old friend. Good job she doesn't read my blog else I'd get a good slap for calling her old!
Image is a Crafters Companion SWALK, sentiment was from Elzybells, DP is Memory Box Gossamer and she's coloured with the usual DI's.
I did make quite a few cards last week, three of which are the fab new Simply Sassy's from Sugar Nellie.
I have to admit, I nearly fainted when I saw these stamps, there's a LOT of hair on those gals, and I dread hair. I find it so difficult to colour! But I do so love these images, I think they are my favourite Sugar Nellie stamps so far, a little bit different from the other ranges. 
I'll be back on Thursday for the next Sugar Bowl challenge.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xx

    The pinks & browns work so well together & I love the way you ink the backgrounds to your images. I was given this stamp for my birthday but have not had a chance to ink it yet. I had to chuckle at your comment about the hair - I KNOW & sympathize but I'm definitely hooked & can't wait to have a go.
    Glad you've got some time for yourself too.

    This is adorable. You make such nice soft background colors, mine always seem blotchy. I think you need to come visit Patty and I...
    Can't wait to hear from you and am ready to send your stuff, just want to make sure you are ok with me cutting down the paper or if there is anything else you want.

    Hi Elaine

    What a great card.

    I love how you have coloured and distressed your image and the sentiment goes alongside perfectly.

    Gorgeous colours and great little pearl embellishments.

    Love Jules xx

    Hi there - I'm up and busy too. Today my best friend will arrive in 5 minutes to help out with sorting and labelling cards for the OSH project bless her - I have more than 300 new ones - and the task will be so much more fun when shared with a friend. Thanks for the comment - Xstitch will be ready soon - as I bring it to places where I can't do my REAL hobby and 1 hour here and there brings more progress than one should think. =0)

    Hi Elaine
    lovely card, these SWALK stamps are very cute. The Simple Sassys from Sugar Nellie are also very cute, (and one is a dead ringer for my little granddaughter), so will have to buy that one lol. Glad to hear that you are sat on your bum (bet you needed it after the week-end), hope Hal had a great time.
    hugs
