First flight

This little chick and basket are by Memory box another favourite stamp company of mine. They arrived yesterday so this is what I've come up with so far. Dotty background stamp by Stampin Up and the die cut is Nestabilities large scalloped circles. I embossed the yellow card with Cuttlebug's Caremelo embossing folder.

The other day I was looking up vintage cat images on Google and came across some sweet vintage Easter cards that also included cats. This is so sweet and pretty...

Here is another image going around the emails at the moment and isn't something you'd normally see, but is oh so cute...

I'm feeling a little weary this morning as I set my alarm an hour early by mistake. I haven't got over the fact that we lost an hour due to day time savings and now I've lost another hour. What time do you think I got up this morning? 4.30am that's what! I didn't realise until 6am so didn't bother going back to bed.

I'm gonna take a break from blogging over the weekend and will be back next week. I'm hoping my creativity mojo will be rejuvenated.

Happy Easter y'all xx

Hallo Chick

I made this card for my mum. She has a cute West Highland Terrier called Millie. This image is from Pink Gem Designs and the sentiment is Stampin up (unfortunately got over inked - why is it I make a card and then at the end I put the sentiment on it and it either smudges, is over inked or doesn't come out properly??). I coloured it all with chalks. The scalloped squares are Nestabilities dies. This photo looks a bit blurred to me, I gotta take better photos!

Millie isn't as snow white as that dog though, oh no! Infact if I'd coloured in the dog all colours apart from white, that would have been more realistic seeing as she gets herself all dirty on a regular basis :)

Ahh, pets, what do they get up to when your back is turned? Miaowski is totally obsessed with paper clips. Ever since she was a kitten she has been fascinated with them and will play with one for hours, batting them up in the air and chasing after them. They have to be coloured ones and she is partial to yellow. My favourite colour is yellow so maybe she takes after me. Anyway the other evening she was restless and trying to get my attention when I suddenly heard this crash behind me. What???

Aha, caught in the act!

Unsurprisingly she didn't pick them back up and put them in their pot!

I'm not sure where Spring has gone as it is icy cold today. It is sunny though so at least it looks cheerful outside.

Easter chicks

I love this cute little chick in his egg. Actually the whole set called 'A Good Egg' by Stampin Up is cute. So I thought the nestabilities egg shape would really suit it.

Well Easter is another week away but I'm glad for once I've made Easter cards on time. Usually I leave it too late and only manage to make one or two. I even managed to be on time to send to my relations abroad so thats good.

Is this my shortest post yet? Yes I think it is. I gotta dash.

Lucy's Challenge: Clean and Simple Card

Well I don't know about clean, but it is a simple card. I'm entering this for Lucy's 7th Card Challenge. The cute little rabbit image is from Hero Arts and the paper and sentiment from Stampin Up. Oh and the egg card was made from the new nestabilities egg shapes which are so cute except that this was the only card I made that actually stayed upright!

'Some days, it’s not about passion and courage. It’s not about heroism and drama. It’s not about slaying dragons or conjuring exotic visions... Some days, it's simply about the delicious act of doing simple things, simply.'

And yes, I did eat the sugar rabbit after I took the photo. It had a lovely sweet vanilla flavour, yum!

I caught Miaowski looking cute ontop of the bookshelf. She's checking out the street view and has probably seen a fat pigeon walking by...
