Mr blogger lol

Oh dear... my blogger has been a naughty boy it seems and not uploaded my last blog lol. I didn't even realise til I came on and saw my last update was 17th Dec and I can remeber putposely coming on to blog at the start of Jan as it had been a while since I uploaded anything... longer now agen lol.
Anyways... I've been making a few Valentines Day cards this last couple of days (and a Design Team one but I can't show it yet :p).
For the Valentines cards, I've been making use of a little taster Art Pad I bought from Lili of The Valley ages ago but that I thought was too cute to use lol. The images are from the 'True Love'  and are the cutest little vintage style people. I paired them with LOTVs 'Country Lady' paper pad and I have to admit... I kinda fell in love with them lol.

A Little Update!

My goodness! I knew I had been a tad absent this last while but I didn't realise it had been so long. Bad Stacey! lol.

Anyways... this last few weeks have been CRAZY!! 2 weeks before Christmas, my little sister was taken into hospital and unfortunately is still there for goodness knows how long. With visiting her and with the usual Christmassy related things we have to do, I have just got messed up with time and schedule keeping. Hence the late blog entries lol.
Anyways, I've had a few DT projects due while I've been away, over at all 3 of the teams I am members of... Where The Heart Is, Crafting For All Seasons and The Crafty Addicts.

For this post, I am only going to show two of my projects. Our DT make for Where The Heart Is Design Team had the theme Anything goes for this challenge with our sponsor being Lacy Sunshine. It was quite hard to pick an image for this one as their images are all fab and with no specific theme, all images were open for choice. I decided on the image Rory - I need my beauty sleep for this one. I thought it a pretty good choice for my mum whose birthday is on the 18th but who has spent pretty much all day every day and night with my little sister at hospital. 5 weeks without a bed is a pretty long time and those nights she did get a bed, it was a hard one which was hard to get comfortable in which reminded me of the fairytale The Princess and The Pea.
Here is my make for my Where The Heart Is DT.




Crafting For All Season's theme for this challenge was Monochrome and we were sponsored by the lovely Bugaboo. I have been eyeing up those Stella images for a LONG time... I love the humour in them so for me, this was a no brainer lol. I chose the image Stella with friends and decided I'd stay along the red tones as the image had 3 friends drinking wine and I though it was the easiest colour to use in a monochromatic card as I could bring in browns etc for the air and orange and pinky reds aswell. I really liked how this card came out considering I was kind of worried about the monochrome. 
This is the card I came up with for my Crafting For All Seasons DT make. :). Hope you all like.
