Happy Birthday Mutti !

It's my mum's 71st birthday today. Here are the cards me, Amber and Lily made for her. It's a bittersweet time for us all as my Dad's birthday is on the same day, and he's no longer with us. When I was a child I thought everyones mum and dad had the birthday on the same date. :-)

Wackadoodle Girls

I've been making some zetti christmas girls for my christmas artwork. I'm calling them Wackadoodle girls... this word cracks me up... picked it up from suede on project runway.

I've been given an award from two lovelies ~ mucky pup and Anne Swinkels. Thanks ladies :-)

St Nicholas

is the theme on SPA this week.... how many of you got some treats in your shoe?

A friend of mine sent me these santa heads which fit perfectly onto these fairies from Lisas Altered Art. I was going to use them on ATC's but as I made them all and lined them up, it popped into my head 'the usual suspects' so I thought I would use them all on one postcard.

Day out for me and Amber

On Saturday, Amber and I went to see New Moon together. I enjoyed the film ~ I haven't read the books, however. Not to be outdone by all the teenagers taking pictures on their phones I decided to join in! Here's Amber and me in the pix.

SPA ~ Let it Snow

Hello Everyone.... it has been a while since I blogged! I went away to help my mate Anne do a craft fair and didn't seem to grab enough time to make my postcard last week.

Here is my offering for 'let it snow' . I used some holographic embossing powder for the snowflakes although you can't see it on the scan. I used the original picture from an Collage Anonymous sheet, but I decided to make the snowman's head a little larger and also to swap the little girl's head with one from Lisas Altered Art.

Myrtle

First Bath

Today

Oh what a joy she is! lol When her and Petrie aren't scrapping of course. Here's a few pictures of her ~ at Roc's request ;-) Myrtle is now 12 weeks old and she is so perfect and so tiny. She's gorgeous

Paint

is the theme on Crazy Amigo's this week. I painted this background and the flourishes are stamped in paint.

The Marie and border images are from Cassi's Creations.

You are the MUSIC whilst the MUSIC plays

This is a quote I found by T.S. Eliot. Ideal for this week's challenge on SPA ~ Music chosen by Cindy McMath.

I used exclusively collage sheets by Donna that are available on Etsy. I'm having a lot of fun with these sheets at the mo.... go and check them out!

Zettiology

is the theme on Wednesday Stamper this week hosted by one of my fave friends Fatma

Crackle Postcard

Yay! My printer and scanner are back! Here's my take on the theme of CRACKLE which was chosen for SundayPostcardArt this week by the Wonderful Hermine.

We did the Monster Mash

I have not been able to make much at all in the past week as my printer isn't working at the mo.... so here's a few pix we took on Halloween... the girls had a few friends over to go Trick or Treating.

We had an Alice in Wonderland (Amber) a Cat (Lily) a very sexy witch (Sarah) and 2 witches in training (Jessica and Emily) oh and how could I forget my little Pumpkin Boy (Petrie)

Twinkle's Animal Hospital

When I was a child I would get a Twinkle annual and Twinkle would always have a hospital ~ for dollies, teddies and sometimes her dog. I am following here lead and I have my own animal hospital! Petrie had an op yesterday and whereas he is ok, he is a little out of sorts with the world. He has a buster collar on which is nearly as big as him and he keeps bumping into things and he can't sniff much as the collar pulls his head right down. Bless him!
