and this week is an easy sketch by the fabulous Dawny P !

until this card - they are so pretty pretty that i saved them ! like you do !

2nd Post of the Day !! GDT - sketch - The Princess and the Frog ..

Due to a very greedy helping of some gorgeous sherry triffle ( lots of sherry in it ) and two glasses of wine i am real late with my GDT for the Creative Inspirations Challenge this week - which was infact yesterday ! my apologiies to all ... im feeling alitttle better , but not much - which just serves me right really ! dont mix sherry and wine !

This is the 2nd post of the day , so if you miss the LOTV dt please scroll down on the home page.

The Creative Inspirations challenge this week is a gorgeous sketch !

There is the sketch in there somewhere ! lol honest i did follow it ! heheee

Anyway , one of the reasons i got into fimo was because i used to tell my girls stories when they were little .

One day Georgie ask me to make her a fairy and thats how i found fimo .. well when i did this card,

It reminded me of those times i would make a model for the girls and tell them a story about it ..

I could'nt resist making a Princess and a Prince frog ! heheeeeeee and he really is a very 

cute frog - i would even kiss him myself !!

See , isnt he a cutie ! I do think he should be going to specsavers though ! heheee !

He is sat on his royal cushion next to his Princess ! she has a tiara made of flowers , ive 

glittered then so they are all sparkly !

I've used the darling stamp called "willow catching leaves " i love her flowing dress !

I have accented the flowers and the tag with some fimo swirls and roses.

Thats all from me today folks - Im nursing a hangover - from some sherry triffle ! hehee

It was so gorgeous i had two helpings and got a bit tiddly on it , my neighbours daughter made it and put half 

a bottle of sherry in it , and together with two glasses of red wine , im afraid it

really got to me !

Warning ... this post may leave you feeling hungry !

Well its been a good day and a bad day today - Soph , and me and a friend  went shopping today to get some curtains for her new flat .. She was really excited ! The curtains were not in stock and so we had to ordered them ... as we were stood there at the counter calvin phoned , i had to quickly say " i phone you back " but then couldnt get a signal ... about 1 hr later i managed to get hold of him Poor love had been on a walk in the forest and twisted his ankle so bad that he phoned me to stop himself from passing out ... and i had quickly said  ( not realising )- hold on , il phone you back .... !!! when i did get hold of him he was on his  way  Accident and Emergancy . .. 

He is ok but its badly sprained .. poor love is at home resting up so we all need to send him healing vibes ... im trying not laugh ...sorry but my calvin is sooooo accident prone its untrue ... i call him the real life Frank Spencer heeeeheee... nothing surprises me with that fella !

anyway I think i had better get on with this weeks papertake Card!

Whiff of Joy GDT set .. sending love ...

Well i have alittle something to share ... for the next few months i shall be Guest dt member for the fabulous whiff of Joy ! So without further a do i shall introduce you to my latest set ...

This set is really bright and cheerful .. I used copics and prisma pencils - you can really tell the difference can't you - so much more depth to the colouring .

I've used Melinda blowing kisses for this card and team her up with a gorgeous mix of old K and Co papers and the rose paper is from the Girls paperie range - ive muted the roses down with a light prisma pencil.-

It's such a shame that you can't see the detailed flowers  as well as in real , as i have dipped them in embossing powder and give them a dose of glittery stickles . It gives them almost soft fuffy look

. The sentiment is whiff of Joy and is suppose to match up with a die - however me being me  ive  used  the die in a different way and folded it in half for the tab.

and now for the matching dolly..

She has little hearts on her dress and hat... and is holding a large heart with flowers on .

I'd like to enter this card and fimo set into these challenges.

Simply create - things with wings

stamp something -pretty papers

Ces challenge lots of sparkly flowers

This set is nowavailable on ebay.

“BRING ON THE MUSIC” make a creation featuring Music, a Song Nursery Rhyme, Christmas Carol, Musical Notes etc.

Hmmm well i might have read it wrong on the brief abit  as mine is more about a song  and i didnt included any musical notes on it ..lol 

This is one of the new Images from Lili of the Valley , shes called Daisy chain and is sooo 

gorgeous , shes playing with her teddy and making him daisy chains , heheeee 

I could not get the song " just wanna be your teddy bear " out of my head when i saw this gorgeous image.

 I bet every teddy in the land would like to be pampered and loved by little daisy , and ofcourse , i had to make something a bit special to match .... what better than a teddy bears picnic ?

lets have a looksie shall we ?

Lots of little details on the fimo scene .. did you notice the little tiny teddy on dollies hat ?

I've patchworked the fimo into a little table cloth that matches the patchwork prima  paper on the card.

Oh my look at teddy , he is soooooooo longing for that last piece of delicious chocolate strawberry cake !

The cream on the cake was  actually piped on lol ...

and now for the card ..

I've used Prima papers "madeleine " and a gorgeous trinket  from charmed cards , 

the gingham bias  is from Creative Treasures ,

The image is from lili of the Valley - new release girls,

the metal corners ive stolen from calvins crafty stash he left here ( shhhhhhh) lol .

Oh and i nicked some of his fimo too .Just a little bit .. oh and maybe some chain for the charm ...

ahhhhh and i might have taken  his lolly sticks and cut  them in half and used them for my glue .... too .. but everything else is mine heeheeee ! actually i did run out of card and
