HIPPIE CHICK GIFT SET

Hi Everyone !!

I would like to thank everyone who commented on the Elvis candle I made, I truly cannot tell you how much I appreciated your comments.

I have gone from having not one ounce of mojo ... now I cannot stop myself LOL !!! I would like to share a gift set I have made.  I haven't made it for anybody and I am not sure if anybody would buy this sort of thing, it just sort of popped into my head and now I have a whole production line going on with candles LOL I cannot stop !!

I made my first little set using an older Anya stamp that I have.  Lucy had bought a paper pad the other day from Hobby Craft called Hippie Chick and this has inspired me for this first collection.  After some bribery she let me have two sheets of paper from her pad WHICH I BOUGHT !!!!

The earrings have been made with shrink plastic.

 There are 3 Anya's on the candle you can see in the reflection.

The candle is still to be wrapped and I still need to make a little Hippie Chick Anya tag. I am quite pleased with the result.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS !!!

LUCY'S CUPCAKE CARD

Happy Snowy Monday !!!

Just a quick post tonight !! Still snowing here in Paisley and freeeeeeeeezing !!! I know it is the same many places.  Please all stay warm and safe !!

Lucy and I did not go sledging today, we decided to bake instead.  We made some shortbread biscuits.  Lucy then decided she wanted to learn to knit (ahhhhhhh).  Lucy then decided she wanted to make a card.  Last week I had purchased from My Favourite Things they template for a cupcake card.  This is what Lucy came up with and I promised her I would put it on my blog.

Lucy also had a go at distressing.  We could not find our ribbler to make the bottom part of the card so she distressed it instead.  I think she did a great job.  Oh and the back of the card is the same as the front.

Thanks for taking the time to look.  I appreciate all comments left and I know Lucy would too LOL !!! OK off to watch CELEB !!!

SOMETIMES ITS FUN - SOMETIMES IT SNOWWWWWWWW FUN

Happy Snowy Sunday to you !!!

I don't have a card but I thought I would share some photos of the snow that we took this afternoon.  Lucy (my daughter) was on a sleepover last night we had to drive through the snow to collect her at lunch-time today and this is how we spent part of the afternoon in between snow showers.

This Tommy (hubby) and Lucy sharing a hug in the snow !!!

 Lucy and I having a break from building Mr Snowman !!

 Taken before we ventured out into the garden

 The poor birds cannot even get to my bird feeder !!

 Before Mr Snowman was built - another shower of snow !!

Hubby has to go to work tomorrow but I have 2 days holiday and the schools are on holiday for 2 days also YIPEE hope to go to the park tomorrow sledging (I'm just a 45 year kid at heart) LOL !!!

HUGS TO EVERYONE !!!! stay warm and safe

A CUSTOM CARD

Happy Friday Everyone !!!

I cannot tell you how cold it has gotten here in Paisley, Scotland brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!! FREEZING!! We are supposed to get snow at some point tonight or tomorrow but I am not so sure !! Weather people never to seem to get it right !!

Anyhoo onto my card !! My Mum had asked me to make a card for her for a friend of her.  I don't really do custom cards anymore but I could not say no to my Mum.  I hope she likes this card as I will be delivering it to her tonight LOL just had time to take a few photos. I made another easel card (my second one WOO HOOO).  I am sure the stamp I used is an older Sugar Nellie one designed by Elizabeth Bell. The flowers are Wild Orchid. I think the papers are Papermania.

Whatever you do this weekend stay safe and warm !!!! Thank you for taking the time to look and any comments left I so enjoy reading them and truly appreciate you taking the time to do so.

HUGS AND TAKE CARE
