Teddy Bea's Partner in crime.......Teddy Bo!

Hi All!

Hurrah it's Friday and what a week I have had, and not for good reasons. Wednesday was a particularly bad day but at least now we've reached the weekend and by all accounts the weather is meant to be nice so things are on the up! Plus we have a 40th birthday party to go to tomorrow (day off from Slimming World lol).

Anyway back to the crafting.....

Last Saturday afternoon I spent colouring four images of Teddy Bea and Teddy Bo while Brent was watching the football. I've already posted the 1st Teddy Bea card and so here is the 1st of the Teddy Bo cards, Christmas Candy Cane Bo............

Do you like him?? I can see that this paperpad is fast becoming my second favourite and I can see me buying another one very soon! I even bought the new copy of Papercraft Inspirations magazine as it has a sample paperpack with it along with a Forever Friends stamp and some diecuts.

I'll post the next Teddy Bo & Bea cards in the next few days and will now start my colouring of a couple of new images I've just got from Wee Stamps. Watch this space!

Off now to finish watching 80's night on Channel 4, quite funny so far!

Have a good weekend everyone....

Teddy Bea Christmas Pudding

Hi everyone!

At last I've made a start on Christmas, better late than never. I have also got another Teddy Bea and two Teddy Bo's coloured that are just waiting to be made into cards - watch this space!

Anyway back to the 1st Christmas card and here is Teddy Bea............

Do you like her.... I do! One of my favourite cards I've made with Teddy Bea I think (so far of course).I've used the new Forever Friends Christmas Kraft Notes paper pad for this card that Karen bought me for my birthday. I can already tell that this pad is going to be as well used as the other Kraft Notes one!

Also I have some breaking news for you....................

I have been offered and accepted a DT place at Katy Sue Designs and as they also sell their products through Ideal World and Create and Craft you could see some of my cards on the tv! Just waiting for my goodies and briefing to arrive and I'll be able to give you some more details! How exciting - I'm looking forward to it!

Right off now, better try and get some work done - fingers crossed I might get back in Crafty Corner tonight! See you soon

Happy Birthday - 40 today

Hi everyone

Me again! It's my old next-door neighbours' 40th birthday today so of course I had to make a card for her. I decided to leave the 40 off of the front of the card, she will probably have enough cards with that on it. I'll just put some 40 sprinkles inside the card!

Here is the card and I've used an image from Wee Stamps this time - Wee Florist:-

oh look there's that paperpad again - lol! And for my birthday I got the Forever Friends Christmas Kraft Notes pad, can't wait to get going with that one!

Hopefully Denise will like it and I'm looking forward to going to her party on Saturday (night off from Slimming World -haha!)

Bye for now!

Another September birthday...............

Hi Everyone

Firstly, here's an update from my last post on my birthday...... We did manage to go on a caravan adventure for my birthday, although not as cheap as I wanted it to be. We spent the weekend down at Hayling Island near Portsmouth and even went over to the Isle of Wight for the day. I put on 1/2lb at weigh in at Slimming World the following Tuesday but hey I had a good weekend and birthday and its all back on track now.

As the title suggests to this post there is another September birthday and this time it is my Mum's birthday. I decided to have a break from bears and animals this time so I went with an image from Saturated Canary (also helped by the fact that they had a sale recently!). This is Sabrina.

 

Yet again I've used my paperpad of the moment - only a few pages left of it now though! Hopefully my Mum will like it - and I hope you do too!

 

Watch this space for another September birthday card tomorrow!

 

Bye for now!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Hello!

Yes it is my birthday today (and as this is a scheduled post I hope that I am on holiday enjoying a break away in a caravan!). Not only is it my birthday today but it is also a work colleagues so I always make him a card - he is younger than me though which he does always remind me of!

Here is the card I made for Steve...............

I think that cards for men can't be too fussy do I picked this Teddy Bo image to use. Hope you like him!

And thanks Karen for lending me your pennant die - I'll give it back soon I promise!

Fingers crossed I've had a good birthday - I'm sure I'll update you in future posts if not!

See you again soon

Teddy Bo and Bea Wedding Card

Hello Everyone

Hope you are all doing ok! I'm doing Ok at this weight loss lark - since January I've now lost 2 stone and 13 1lb, just 1lb to go to 3 stone all thanks to Slimming World! It is weigh in day today so that could all change! All I've got to do is keep it off!

On the subject of Slimming World - one of the girls, Jules, got married last week and she kept it quiet and didn't tell us. So I couldn't not make a card and I'll give it to her tonight - I hope she likes it. I decided to use a Teddy Bo & Teddy Bea image (I do love these bears!!).

Here is the card...................

 

 

Get me going all girly and using lace and a doily!

 

I hope you like it. Fingers crossed Jules does too and that I've lost another 1lb this week to get to 3stone in 9 months - if not there is always next week!

 

See you again for another 'birthday' post on Saturday!

 

Lisa xx

Socks Fairy - Saturated Canary

Hi Everyone

Hope you've all enjoyed the weekend - ours was pretty quiet but Brent did decide to buy himself a push-bike. We'll see how long that idea lasts I'm sure it won't be long, I given him two months and if its not used them I'm selling it!

Anyway on to the crafting for today.............

As the football was on on Friday night I managed to fit in some colouring and I finished this card off today. Not made it for any reason in particular bit just because I wanted to - I've not coloured a Saturated Canary image for a while, and for today's card I've used one of their new images  - Socks Fairy.

Here's the card - what do you think??

 

 

I hope you like her! Still not sure her hair is quite how I wanted it to be but never mind!

 

I also finished off another couple of cards today and these will be posted a bit later on in the week.

 

Looking forward to going to bed tonight - nice clean sheets, straight off the washing line and nice clean pj's!

 

Got another short week at work this week as I'm on holiday on Friday :0)

 

See you all soon

 

Lisa
