Bubblegum bottles.....Yum!

This is one of my favourite colour combination which I think compliment each other.As you can see from the picture,It reminds me of one of my fav sweets,blue & pink bubblegum bottles,similar to cola bottles,lol. The papers are My Minds Eye 'Darling Daughter'(no longer available) and the flower`s a stamp I coloured,glittered and layered. I inked the papers edges to tie it all together. Thanks for looking.

STARS AND STRIPES

Hi all. Just a drizzle here today in Southampton, but blimey hasn`t it rained this week. The garden is so soggy and slippery, we`re dicing with a trip to A&E if we venture out there,lol. This bright card is for my godson who is thirteen on Wednesday. The paper`s and design is from 'Funky Hands' Funky word books cd-roms. I`m addicted to cd-roms. I love the fact that you always have papers and images whenever you want...you don`t have to worry about running out of your fav paper and having to make a trip to your local craft store...(although any excuse to visit a craft shop is fine with me....lol). Thanks for looking and your comments. Alison xx

'HE SEES YOU WHEN YOUR SLEEPING'

Well, so far so good... I said my personnel challenge was to make birthday cards on time and I`ve managed the first two of four this month...And (AT LEAST) 1 card for Christmas 2011 each week so here`s the first (of many I hope,lol), hope you like it. I would also like to say a big thankyou to Lola, for the lovely comments she said about me on her blog...(on December the 22nd) I haven`t felt 100% today,think I`ve got a little tummy bug :( and what with the kids going back to school and the Christmas tree etc coming down the weekend I felt really low until I read what she said about me...I don`t always trust my own crafting instincts and I more often then not, bin something I`ve made. But what you said Lola has made me think I have to stop listening to the gremlins in my head and listen to friends and family more, so I sincerely thank you Lola for that lovely boost of confidence you gave me today,If I could off I`d have given you a big hug,lol XXXX. AND ALSO, to my other, although only a few...(hopefully more to come!!) lovely friends on here, especially Sylvia,Vicky and Lee... your comments mean so much to me and I can`t tell you how much I appreciate them. So much so I`ve decided I`m going to come on my blog more regular and pop over to yours to, because I always feel 100% better when I do. Love and hugs to you all and here`s to a wonderfully happy,healthy,wealthy and most of all CRAFTY 2011,lol. XXXXXXXXX
