New! New! New! We want to see your new stash!!!

Yep if you havent got the gist of it yet from my title - we want to see your new stuff over at OSAAT this week. Now this can be a new frame that you are altering or a box, a new stamp or digi image, new ribbon, papers, embellishments... the list goes on. As long as it is new we want to see you use it in this weeks challenge.
Now I got my good buddy Stitch this week, so I chose one of her NEW digis called "Presents" which you can find here in Stitchy Bear Stamps. So that is my new item, unless you count my grey promarkers as I've only just bought them, of course from Kevin up there in the corner of my sidebar.
I do hope you're ready for this as it's a Christmas card and it's not June yet lol.

I hope you'll visit the rest of the DT and find out what new crafty stash they have used on their projects. I'm away for a couple of days with family and friends so I'll catch up with whatever you make with your new crafty stash when I get back.
Take care everyone

Uh oh I'm late....

I had one of those days yesterday - you know the ones....where you really don't have the energy even to be awake, let alone do anything. Well anyway I was like that yesterday and completely forgot about scheduling my blog post for this morning for the challenge over at Stampin with the Dragon so huge apologies girls for being so late!
Anyway this week we are being sponsored by my bestest buddy Stitchy of Stitchy Stamps so yet another fab excuse to play with her great digis.

I used "Got Game" which you can buy here at Stitchy Bear Stamps and I think this is just fab those footy mad boys out there especially with the World Cup literally just around the corner.
I hope you like my little man and I'll be back at the latest on Sunday with the new challenge from OSAAT.
Take care now and have a lovely day.

WOYWW 26th May

Sorry I haven't been around for a little while but things always seem to get in the way hehehe. Anyway hopefully I've resolved the issue of piccies that wont come up bigger (fingers crossed anyway) so you guys can snoop better and you will also be able to see my new toy now. And no it's not a cricut lol!! Unfortunately I've not had much time to play with it because the lappy I installed the software on is taking forever to do anything so I definitely think that it's terminal for the old Toshiba.
Anyway here are the latest piccies of the mess on my desk.

I have loads of things buried on there somewhere that have been started and need to be finished today so I best get on and find them so I can get them done.
Happy snooping and join in the fun HERE .
Take care peeps.

Furry and feathery friends - we love them at OSAAT

That's our challenge this week over at OSAAT and I got to work with the extremely talented, (as they all are at Stitchy Bear Stamps ) Claire AKA Hope Jacare. The digi I used is called "Scatty cat" and you can get it for HALF PRICE for the rest of this week as the sale is still on until the end of the month.
Anyway enough babbling, here is my card.

I hope you will join in the fun over at OSAAT and check out the other DT girls fab makes. Oh and on top of our regular prize of 3 digis from the store and the GD spot, the overall winner this week will also win a pack of SUMMER Promarkers from my new buddy Kevin at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Fatscat-Art-Craft-and-Graphic-Shop/ . Unfortunately I think he only ships here in the UK, but he is super fast on the delivery - every order I have had from him comes the next day (as long as I haven't ordered at silly o'clock in the evening of course) and his prices are extremely reasonable.
Have a fab crafty week peeps and have fun.

And your challenge should you chose to accept it....

this week at OSAAT is to make "Anything BUT a card". We also have a fabulous sponsor this week who you nearly all know - GLITTERBABE. For my little creation this week I used "King Kat" and made a milk carton out of e-flute card (very thin corrugated card)...I dont think you can buy this card but as I used to work in a printing and packaging firm, my boss used to ask me if I could make any use of the off cuts....of course I said yes and this is the first time I have got to use any of my stash.

I found a tute for these milk cartons on SCS, but me being me I had to tweek it just a bit and when you know the basics you dont really need to follow the measurements. It is really simple to do and I'm trying to think of other things I can use it for now.
Anyway I hope you'll join in with our fun challenge this week.
Take care and I'll see you at OSAAT sometime.

Going dotty over at OSAAT

Hello everyone and yes it's Sunday again and over at OSAAT we are going DOTTY this week - polka dots spots whatever you feel. I've used the lovely Lexis "Auri" (I do hope I've spelt that right or she won't speak to me again lmao) and I've coloured her with my promarkers. I love these pens you know, I really do. I loved my copics but these are so much more "Sam" friendly as I'm on the little heavy handed side occassionally and the bendy brush tip of the copics was my bug bear on more than one occasion hehehe.
For my inspiration this week (as I'm lacking it a bit at the moment) I used sketch # 61 from card patterns blog
http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2010/04/sketch-61.html . This is an old one from a couple of weeks ago but it fitted my Auri perfectly as I already had her cut out in a circle.

I'm having a little break as head DT over at OSAAT for a while as I need to get a few personal things sorted out this end. I'll still be about and for now I'm leaving you in the capable (but overflowing) hands of Stitchy so I hope you'll join in with our challenges as you have been and lend her and the rest of the team your support.
Take care guys
