Lost, one mojo

Hi all,

Well, blogger wouldn't let me upload my photo, so luckily I managed to copy it from the DT blog.  I hope the problem gets sorted out soon though.  The girls and I had a bit of a lazy day today.  We stayed at home and made choc chip muffins, painted lots of boxes for junk modelling and watched Nanny McPhee on DVD.  Martha loves it and says Nanny all the time now!

Over at CRAFT, our theme is shaped cards.  I have used snowman snowglobe by one of our sponsors, The Stamping Boutique and just enlarged it and there you go.  I know it is incredibly simple, even for me, but I have no motivation or ideas at the moment, so if you see my mojo anywhere, please send it back to me.

See you later.

Music to my ears.

Hi all,
I have work today in a mixed reception/year one class, so am expecting to be shattered tonight.  I find it hard enough chasing after my two!  Daisy is off on a school trip to Beamish tomorrow.  It's a living museum, with lots of people in costume explaining about life in the victorian times especially and they have an an school all set out and hold mock lessons there.  She's very excited and today they are learning a few things about it to help when they get there.
Over at Creative Craft, we are sponsored by The Stamping Boutique and our theme is a colour challenge for you.  We would like to see pink and black on your projects.  My card uses an image from The Stamping Boutique and the paper is from my scrap box.
See you Thursday.

... and a partridge in a pear tree!

Hi all,
Well, it's Thursday already and still raining!  It managed to be nice until after we had put up the girls' playhouse, but it then rained so much that they haven't been able to play in it yet.  Daisy is off to a friend's house for tea after school so it's just me and Martha for most of the day.  We will probably go to a den building morning that the school is holding and inviting parents along.  Daisy wants me to go, so I will brave it if it isn't too yucky outside.
Over at CRAFT, we are sponsored by The Stamping Boutique, My Creative Classroom, Truly Madly Crafty and Flonz.  Our theme is feathers/birds and I have used Four calling birds by The Stamping Boutique.  The papers are by My Mind's Eye and the sentiment stamp is another magazine freebie.  Check out the rest of the DT projects for some fab inspiration.
See you later.

Banana split, anyone?

Hi all,
Well, it's Thursday already.  Martha and I will potter today, as I think sometimes she just likes to stay home and play and as it has been raining a lot, it's not such a good idea to go out anyway.  Then, Daisy has dancing and she has a friend coming over afterwards for tea and a play.  I'm then off to book club, so a busy ish time for us.  I had a great time on Tuesday getting inky and using some stamps I haven't used in ages.  I just need to make them all up into cards, so you will be seeing them in the next few days.
Over at CRAFT this week, we are sponsored by Floppy Latte, Stamping Boutique and Hope Jacare Doodles.  Our theme is animals, and I have used an image by Stamping Boutique.  I just love this cheeky monkey.  The papers are freebies from magazines again and I decided to add some corrugated card for texture.  Have a great day.

Boing!

Hi all,

This is a scheduled post.

Over at CRAFT, we are sponsored by Sassy Studio, Crimson Cloud, Trimgym's digistamps and images and eyeCandie Creations. Our theme this week is Spring/Easter. I have used an image by our sponsor of the month, The Stamping Boutique. I have gone more Spring than Easter. I tried to ink the background of the image while leaving the nestie in place. I have seen other people do it an quite like the effect. The paper is a scrap of digi paper, so I don't know who it is by. The flowers were made using a scalloped circle punch and cutting them into a spiral and rolling them up.

Have a lovely weekend.

They're red, they're green, they're brown, they're blue...

Hi all,

It's been a gorgeous week up here. The sun has shone and we have spent lots of time in the garden, which is great as Martha is a real outdoorsy girl. (It must have something to do with being born in Australia!) On Tuesday the head at Daisy's school asked me if she could wear socks instead of tights as she was boiling, bless her. It was cold when she got the bus, honest!

Over at CRAFT this week, we are sponsored by Digital Delights, Lauretta's Digital Stamps and Truly, madly, crafty. Our theme this week is things with wheels. For my card, I have used an image by The Stamping Boutique, which is our sponsor of the month. When I saw it, I thought of Thomas the Tank Engine and friends, which is where my post title comes from. The papers are magazine freebies.

Don't forget to check out the projects from the rest of the DT.

Vroom, vroom!

Hi all,

My cold seems to be going, luckily, so maybe I will have a few days before I catch another one! Daisy has gymnastics after school today. I really don't know where she gets her energy from!

Over at Creative Craft today, we are sponsored by The Stamping Boutique and LOTV. This fortnight, we would like you to make a male themed project. I have used this wonderful image by The Stamping Boutique and thought I would make a birthday card for one of Daisy's classmates, as she has a few parties coming up. Her social calendar is much fuller than mine. The papers are fab, but didn't have a name on them, so I'm not sure who designed them.

I would like to enter this into:
