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)

Hokey Pokey……..

 

Good Afternoon, me lovelies…..how are we all doing today!  Good, I hope…..ooooh you can almost touch the weekend, its that close……yayyyyy! 

I am off out on a date tonight with my lovely jubbly hubby tonight !  We can’t decided what to do though…..its been awhile since we went on a date LOL…..but its something we have decided to start doing more often, cos I think its nice to take a step back from day to day life, and go do something for ourselves :o)…….well that's what I think LOL………..Anyways, I am really excited about tonight, it’s making me feel about 16 again when we first starting dating,……… its so much fun deciding what to wear, how to do your hair, painting your nails and pampering yourself…….ooooooh, I will deffo pop back tomorrow to tell you how it went, hee hee hee……………

Anyway, enough date talk time for a card…….now I ordered some of those Nellie Snellen, cuties the other week and shamefully have only just got round to inking them.  I started off with Hokey Pokey, now I have to say as much as I like these images, they are a wee bit small for me and my fat colouring LOL……I only just managed to stay in the lines LOL……..I do really like them, so I will persevere, but I do think some stamps are deffo getting smaller.

{Sorry for the dodgy picture, I hate photographing red, that pom pom trim is not really orange, its red LOL}

The delish papers are from Raspberry Road Design and they are called  Yuletide.  The flowers are from Hobbycraft and Wild Orchid Crafts.

The Cream Cotton Lace, Red Tiny Pom Pom Trim, are from The Ribbon Girl……..The Metal Flowers, Pin and Pearls are from The Hobby House.

The sentiment is by Magnolia Stamps.

The image has been coloured with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor!

I have stamped the image again on the inside, but distressed the edges of the paper too to add interest.

Well thanks for stopping by today, and taking the time out of day to check out my card :o)

Have a great day and shall pop back tomorrow to tell you how my date went, hee hee…….

Hi Tab
love your card, soooooo pretty. I'm glad to hear that you also think that some of the stamps are getting smaller (I thought it was me getting old, & not being able to see as well) lol.
I hope you have a lovely time on your Hubby date night, can't wait to hear all about it. I had a lunch date with my lovely Hubby today, we went to a restaurant called Wagga Mama's, (we were like two school kids playing hooky from school) rotfl.
hugs
Sandra
