Morning my lovelies
I see the weather is back to normal again this morning, I did wonder what that bright yellow ball in the sky was yesterday, it's been so long since we've seen it!
Happy May Day! I can't believe it's May already, it's nearly summer?! This year is totally flying by.
A couple of weeks ago I won the challenge over at I Love Promarkers, and my prize was a voucher to spend at Di's Digi Downloads. I was spoilt for choice over the huge collection of cute stamps, but finally managed to narrow down my choices. As soon as they landed in my inbox I printed them off and got playing straight away!
This stamp caught my eye as I knew it would be perfect for a New Home card, which is very much at the forefront of my mind at the moment!

Morning my lovelies
Monday again and back to work! Not that I'm ready for it, I'm shattered and seem to be struggling to get moving.
They've forecast us some sunshine in the Midlands today! Not that I'll get to experience any of it, what with being stuck indoors all day.
I've been playing with another Hannah Lynn digi, I love them and already need to get some more! Even the OH likes them, though that could be because the fairies are quite scantily dressed!
I made this card yesterday, I was probably dreaming of the sun!

Afternoon my lovelies
Is this rain ever going to end? I'm sick of having washing hanging all over the house and radiators!!
I bought a couple of new images to play with yesterday. The first time I saw them I was sure I'd never be able to do the hair justice, but it was actually much easier than it looks due to the layers being drawn in by the artist. This one kept me busy until nearly 10 o'clock last night, which is unusual for me because as soon as it gets dark outside I start to struggle to concentrate!
Anyway- Here is my card:

Evening my little blog dwellers!
Almost halfway through the week already, it's been a bit crappy so far. I can't seem to sell anything, I even asked my boss if there was something wrong with my face!
We had a delivery today from Vauxhall, as they are sponsoring Home Nations Football, they have sent us a bag full of England car flags, so our Vectra came home tonight looking like a proper chav mobile!!

Evening My Loves
I've had a proper busy day today! I was at work this morning, I've been cleaning this afternoon and I even managed to fit in making a card. The weather has been very strange, we've had bright sunshine, followed by heavy downpours, followed by scorching sun again!
I'm being driven slightly mad by our Mortgage advisor at the moment. We're still waiting for the Mortgage offer, he keeps telling us 'we'll know by Friday' but two of those Friday's have now passed and we still don't have the offer! I really hope I'll be able to look back on this in a few months and laugh.
Anyway, here is the card I have to show for today's efforts:
Ingredients Used:
Image: Pink Gem Polymer Stamp- Sitting Chloe
Colouring Medium: Promarkers
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Papers: 3 Different Papermania pads
Cardstock: Core-dinations
