Cute as a button....

Good morning everyone, what a fabulous week-end we have had... I  think Summer isn't too far away!...  As you know from last week David went for his injection, all went well for a few days but sadly it seems to be wearing off.  He was over the moon for a couple of days then, all of a sudden his leg gave way and he has started with the pain again.. not as severely but it does seem to be creeping up again... he will give it a little longer and then I think it's back to the specialist....

It's Tuesday already and time for another challenge over at 'Papertake Weekly'.... so what would Dawny like to see this week, well it's nice and easy... you can do cute or you can include a button, or you can do both!... easy, peasy!! I read the challenge wrong and thought it was all about buttons!!.. but it's ok as what I made still fits in with the challenge.

Just To Say....

Hi everyone, here we are nearly out of May, can you believe it, where are these weeks going too!!.. hope you all had a fabulous bank holiday week-end, we have been painting and getting things ready so the estate agents can come and take some photo's of Debs house. I am happy and sad when I think about her moving, but it's a fabulous opportunity for her and Candice.... but I will miss seeing them every day.. although we do have skype, so I think that will be well used lol!!

Anyway onto today's challenge over at 'Papertake Weekly'.. Dawny has done a lovely sketch for us, but as always you can choose one of the older ones if you prefer, which are here!... I love using a sketch, as it's a good place to start especially if Mr Mojo has gone walk about lol!! Sorry about the pants photo, the colours are not really true as the ribbon is a lot lighter and co-ordinates much better in real life, I've been trying and trying to get a decent photo, but this is about the best... sorry!  I have used this gorgeous fairy stamp that I won at LOTV and she is called 'Petal' isn't she just lovely.  I think she can be used for so many different occasions.   I have finally got around to having a go with my inktense pencils, they are a lot different than my distress pens but I love the vibrant colours, but I need a lot of practise with them.  This is a very glittery card as I've used lots of star dust stickles and also some liquid pearls.  The papers are also from LOTV.
