Don & Daisy

Just thought I'd quickly share a card I made as a guest designer for the Don & Daisy challenge blog last month...yep I know LAST month, but I blame Tracy for not telling me when it was being used! LMAO!

A circle card with a sentiment in a circle...easy peasy lemon squeezy, and all Marianne Design Dies used and yes they cut so nicely when your C plate hasn't wandered off somewhere (it was having a holiday down behind my desk....must've been the cat's fault cos it wouldn't be mine, I'm so tidy and organised...NOT!)

Bling it

Hello, hopefully you are back into the swing of things and are happily joining us here at Southern Girls. For those of you that have kids, I hope it all went well on their first day back at school.

Ok, so this fortnight the theme is for all all you crafters that like to see lots of "bling".

This round we have 2 lovely sponsors

Scrap of Bull with a great prize pack

AND

Marianne Design 

I had a play this time with my Distress Ink markers that I've had for a wee while ( like over a year!LOL!) and never really touched them. Took a bit of getting used to but I think I love them! Just have to remind myself "don't overwet the paper or everything bleeds" .....!!!! 

I used a couple of different dies to embellish my card but had trouble cos I lost my C plate for my cuttlebug!!!!!!  Yep, found it the next day after it was TOOOOOOO late. Anyway the dies are Marianne Creatables LR0156 & LR0017.

And for a different take on bling, I used nail polish on my large chipboard butterfly thanks to a suggestion by a fellow crafter (clever Amanda) and it looks very cool IRL!!!!! 

A morning at the beach

We're having such glorious weather, it was time for an outing to the beach for the Brodsta and his friends.

Brodie decided to chase seagulls, Solly followed for a wee way then SENSIBLY turned back. Sir Dork however went backwards and forwards after the birdies that just kept flying away. Who would've guessed?

You think I should try again Mum? There's another birdie out there........
