Cupcakes & James...

Good Evening...

Hope you have all had a good day and certainly better than mine.  I spent most of the afternoon at the vets with my cat Coke who has grown an extra chin...poor little man has an abscess.  The vet couldn't do anything with it so I've had to leave him to be knocked out and I'm collecting him later.  He is 17 yrs old so it's very risky but I am keeping everything crossed he comes round.

I have a couple of cards to share with you using new images from DigiStamp Boutique.

Here is 'Pretty Cake Stand'...the papers, petals & sentiment are from the 'Tea House' range which are available in my store together with the cherry blossoms and Prima gems.

Challenges:-

1 - Friday Sketchers / Sketch Below

2 - Delicious Doodles / Make A Card/Project You Would Like To Receive

3 - Digi's With Attitude / Anything Goes

4 - Stamp Something / Digi Day

And here is 'Work James'...the papers are Kaisercraft.  The Tim Holtz mini paperclips, twine, button and card candy are all available in my store.

Challenges:-

1 - Crafts 4 Eternity / Sketch Below

2 - Pixie Dust / Seeing Polka Dots

3 - Oh La La / It's A Man Thing

CES Challenges #25 - Flowers & Flutterby's... POST HI-JACKED!!!!

It's Tyson here....I've had to hi-jack this post as it seems my mummy has forgotten me this week and not shared my antics with my furry pals over at Crafting Buddies.  I know she has been busy with hospital visits to adorable little Zach so I thought I would save her a few minutes. 

So you ask what have I been up to this week...well I continue to try and get the kitties to play but they have none of it....sit around all day near the radiator and sleep, they miss out on loads of fun!!

I've been working hard this week too so it's not all play....I work as security in the Wood-Britton household and make sure no aliens come to get us in the night.  I sit half in and half out at the window and do scheduled patrols.  Here I am at work...I do have a uniform but it's in the wash so I will have to share that with you another time!!

Luv Tyson xxx

Good Morning...

Yeh it's the weekend but looks like a miserable one weather wise, wet through here and don't think the rain stopped all night.  It's my mum's birthday today so I think we will venture out on a little shopping trip for some retail therapy.

My great nephew Zach who was born on Tuesday is still in hospital, poor little man had a few troubles with his breathing and wouldn't feed...he's now got an infection.  Fingers crossed his results come back clear after the antibiotics and he may be able to come home tomorrow.  I've not even seen him yet...well apart from a photo.

Right onto the new challenge over at CES Challenges which is:-

''Flowers & Flutterby's''

One lucky winner has the choice of 5 packs of charms from Crafty Emma's Store.

I have used a Helz Cuppleditch stamp...Parker together with Dovecraft Sugar & Spice papers.  They are available in my store along with Promarkers, various flowers and Prima gems.

Challenges:-

1 - Little Red Wagon / Animals

2 - The Pixie Cottage / Sketch and-or Something Cute

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
