THINK PINK - PINK KIT

Excited I certainly was when I recieved a small parcel from the postman this morning! I was more than delighted to see the parcel was from caroline Scattergood at Bubblyfunk. Inside was my THINK PINK - Pink Kit all in cause for Breast Cancer, where £2 of the purchase goes to Breast Cancer Charity! The quality of these goods in the Kit is just remarkable and I am ever so excited about going to play with it all and seeing what I can come up with! I also got 20x ATC Pearl Blanks, s I had run out, and a BRILLIANCE Ink pad (Black) as I need this for doing the Image swaps and just for general stamping too.
Above are the ribbon and buttons and more of accessories!

Above here are all the beautiful pinks, browns and white flowers....

Above here is a large Organza Bag with little card templates and ribbon with sequins on it...and below is two sheets of spotted felt....!

Inspiration

I rake through all my craft magazines now and again and, the lst time I did so I came across these little fabric padded hearts in the Quick & Crafty July 2006 Issue. Being a Romantic, loving fabric and having a passion for textiles, I got inspired by these little hearts that Amanda Walker produced for her featured project titled "RETRO ROSE"! I have not got round to trying this out yet, but intend to do so soon as I think that these would make lovely gifts!......Hear my Amy Butler fabrics calling out to me now for these!

Birdie Cards

I have been getting into these new Birdie Card makes recently and decided to use some of my free papers from one of my Papercraft Essentials magazine which seems to have been a very good choice as this birdie card has come out really well. I aimed to create a vintage birdie and that is what I have achieved! I also used some flower ribbon that I bought when I was out on a craft shopping spree with Maggie and max. For the tail I used a ribbon rose which helps finish my birdie off. Oh! And a lovely big pearl bead for the eye! x x x

New Makes

These are a few ATCs (artist trading cards) that I have made recently. The bottom two are away in the post now making their way to their recipitant! The one on the top I have posted off I am sure and, if I have I can not remember who I sent it too, is that not terrible of me! So, if I have and someone has received it please inform me you have received it! I would much appreciate it! These ATCs have been handcrafted using my new papers that I bought when I met up with the lovely ladies; Max and Maggie50 from the CB forum! Hope you like them x

A Beautiful Day

Ohhh! What a beautiful sunny warm day we have had here in Fife for the second day running. We have been so very lucky with the weather. Josh, Ava & I went on down to the Kocal Park after postng some vital post packages: magazines for my elder sister who is pecting anytime now, THE PRIZE to Louise (pinkpuupy on the crafts beautiful forum), a cheque payment for craft materials at Angel Crafts and my August ATC Swaps with a RAK for Amelia Fraser (courtneysmum on CB forum). We arrived at the park and Josh headed straught for the swings, as I expected he would. He craves swings!

He swang and swang to his hearts content, as you can see, while Ava drifted off to nodland in her buggie! Once I said to Josh it was time to come home he was not a happy littl fella. He went on the sea saw with me and then on the funny looking roped roundabout, which you can see in the pictures. He absolutely LOVED this as you can see in the picture below!

On our way home Josh insisted on going for a littl walk! So we did and this is him wih his biker! A Happy Little Fella!

Glorious Sunny Day

What a Glorious Summers Day it is here in Fife today! It is so very warm and just what we need after some horrible weather we have been experiencing lately. I feel so much joy and smile so much when the sun comes out like this. There is nothing that beats it....eept would not mind being somewhere abroad but, I really can not complain with the weather today because it is just Glorious! I have been inside though as I am rather weary of the sun what with littl Ava! You can not be too careful! I hope that this weather is just the same elsewhere today for everyone else!
