Beths Trophy

Here you are as promised, she brought 

her Music trophy home, she plays the violin.

The sun has come out at last, it's been raining all day

so we went outside in the garden to take a 

picture before it disappears again,

and also before she takes her uniform off

for the summer. she won't want to put

it on again now until September.

take care 

Dreaming

Hi all nearly there it's that last day of school

then we have 6 weeks off hurray.

I have just come back from church where they were

having a leavers service for all the year 6 going to 

high school in September.

They also gave out school awards and

Beth got one for Music.

The headmaster phoned me up yesterday,
my first thought was oh no what's happened,
but it was to let me know she was getting this award
and i had been sworn to secrecy.

He! He! 

So it was a big surprise this morning 

when he called out her name.

She was given a trophy, i don't know if she can bring 

it home, if she does i'll put a picture up of her.

Made a Teddy Bea card, i have been itching to use

this image it's been out a while and this is 

the first time i have coloured her

slap hands.

Used Polychromos pencils and 

Raspberry Road papers.

Sentiment is from Lili of the valley.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.

Thanks for stopping by today and if you want

a bit of a giggle go and check out

  Fairytale Friday

at the Teddy Bo Challenge.

Lets Get Cute

 Hi all it's Papertake time again

and this weeks challenge is

Getting Cute

as you might have guessed 

we want to see all those cute cards

which will be easy, as there are so many cute images 

out there.

We are sponsored this week by 

Digital Delights.

I have dug out my Sarah Kay images 

that i had actually coloured a long time ago with

Copics and have been sat in a box waiting to be used.

As the theme is cute i had to go

with my favourite colour Pink.

Papers are from Raspberry Road.

My Doohickey flower dies arrived a few days ago 

at last, i ordered them online from Crafts U Love

then i got an email saying they had run out of stock and i had to wait for the next delivery.

Anyway nearly a month later i've got them,

so i had to play.

Flourishes and sentiment tag

are from Marianne Creatables dies.

I have added gems to the flourishes.

Thanks for stopping by today 

and hope you join in and have a play.

Ha ha i'm a poet and i didn't know it.

Gosh that takes me back,

we used to say that when we were

kids.

Sir Teddy Bo

Good morning all, blimey it Tuesday again 

these weeks seem to fly by and the kids 

break up on Friday for the summer, 

lets hope Mr sun comes back.

It's Teddy Bo time and wow check out 

the new releases they are fantastic.

 Love this Teddy Bo dressed up as a

knight so i had to have a play.

Coloured him with polychromos pencils

and i used a silver pen for the sword.

The papers are from DCWV Once upon a time

paper pad perfect for this little guy.

Stamped around the edge of the image with 

Lilli of the valley's corner stamps in 

vintage photo distress ink.

The flowers are from the matching

embellishment set from DCWV,

apart from the small one which i punched 

out of an old book page

and distressed with vintage photo.

Flourishes are from a Marianne creatables die.

You can see the sword shine a bit more in this photo,

although it looks really good in the light,

it looks like a proper metal sword.

Don't forget to check out the Teddy Bo challenge,

this week it's still Team A's challenge 

and they want you to use Teddy Bea only.

Thanks for looking

Birthday Bo

Good morning on this wet and miserable day.

good excuse to stay in and craft.

It's hubby's birthday today and he has to work

(Boo Hoo). We had a nice day out yesterday though,

i took him out for lunch, we really enjoyed it.

While he's not here i thought i would let you have

a sneaky peek at the card i have made him.

I had to use a Bo image of course

so decided to use one of the new release ones 
Flutterby net Bo

but instead of holding his net he could hold 

a Happy Birthday banner.

I'm really pleased with the way it's turned out.

He's coloured in polychromos pencils 

i have used papers from K&Co best of paper stack.

Spellbinders wonky squares die  and 

inked round the edge with Fired Brick

distress ink.

I haven't used any embellies as he's

not a fussy bloke, you know what these 

fellas are like.

Anyway will have to go and put it in an 

envelope now.

Shushhh!!

You can't tell him you've seen it 

it's a surprise.

We are going to have pressy opening 

when he comes home tonight.

Going to enter this into 

Creative inspirations -no flowers allowed. 
Simon says stamp - Anything goes
Sweet Stampin - One for the boys

Thanks for stopping by today

hope you don't get to wet.

Yuck!

Postcard from Paris

Good Morning all it's Teddy Bo Tuesday again

Teddy Bea only

It's team A's turn to host the challenge 

so pop over and have a play.

It's also release day and we have 

more fabulous images over at Teddy Bo and co.

My card today is using an image that was 

released a few weeks ago, but 

as soon as i saw these fab papers

from Raspberry Road fight like a girl set

i knew they would be perfect for Bea walking her dog.

I have used the postcard from Lili of the valley

and added some Paris stamps that i had in my

stash that i got from a cheap shop years ago

this is the first time i have used them. I knew 
they would come in handy one day LOL.

Bea is coloured with Polychromos pencils and

sansodor. I have added a touch of
glitter glue here and there.
