About Me

My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

Phew What a Scorcher!

Good Morning my lovelies…..hope I find you well today….

woweeeeeee what a scorcher of a weekend, and today is set to be even hotter :o)………sorry for lack of posts over the weekend, I just never got round to sitting at the computer to do one cos……..Saturday I decided to have a craft room sort out LOL…….why or why do we decided to do this…..it took me all day and I was shattered by the end of it LOL……… boy though, did I unearth some wee treasures that I forgot I had LOL……..it was like going craft shopping but without spending anything LOL….bonus!   Sunday, well quietly frankly it was too glorious even to venture into the old crafty nook…….it was garden all the way…..my brother came over and we had a lovely BBQ, that seem to last all afternoon LOL……..I watered little Teddy to keep him cool, as really this is his first experience of really hot weather and he was rather restless, bless him……so out came the hose pipe and Teddy boy was happy :o)……….mind Mam wasn’t cos she forgot to shut the lounge and bedroom door, and before I knew it he had shot in the house, up the stairs and was rolling around on the bed like a loony…..clean bed sheets as well….little devil!!!!!

Anyway enough of me waffle, lets get down to business……me card!  Today’s card is made using one of those cutie Bildmalarna stamps…..little Mimosa is too cute for words…..I think over this last year the Bildmalarna stamps have improved greatly and these last few collections have been adorable :o)

Well the papers are those totally and utterly gorge First Addition – Summer Breeze ones….they are about all gone now, will have to get some more before they stop making them LOL.

All the flowers are from The Hobby House, as are the Metal Flowers {Spacers that I have added a pearl to the centres, its just peaking out behind the bottom flowers}, the Pearl Button, Pin , Charm and Chain, Pearls and the Ribbon.  Jill does a fab range of embellies that are all coordinated and you know me love everything matchy matchy :o)…….I have highlighted what is on the website, but if you see anything, then Jill is more than happy to take orders over the phone at the shop :o)

The image as been coloured in using Prisma Pencils blended with Sansodor, and I have added touches of stickles here and there too.   Even added some stickles to the little pearl button, shimmers lovely, it does!

014

The inside has been decorated to compliment the front.

All the flowers have been glimmered with glimmer mist and glamoured with glamour dust, just for that extra sparkle….love me sparkles :o)

Well that’s all from me today, thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy the sunshine if you have it and stay safe, plenty of sun cream :o)

Hugs Tab xxx
