What a nightmare when you lose your internet for a few days 
I decided to create a gift box.
It’s quite a decent size box measuring around 6inch square by 4 inch deep. This is for me niece for her birthday. The colouring looks hideous on her clothes…lol Her outfit is actually covered in glitter (Little girls like the sparkly) however the camera hasn’t picked it up very well at all.
The digi image is a CC designs available from ALL THAT SCRAPS.

i simply could NOT resist having a play with the other mo manning image that i got the other day. Thought i would create something for the Fabby OUR CREATIVE CORNER CHALLENGE their challenge is to use embroidery floss! Now…i know there is only a titchy bit on me creation (on the button) but it was supposed to be wrapped around the butterfly too…only i attatched the little felt heart and stuck the butterfly down before i had added it! 
Do ya see it wrapped around the butterfly ????
A lil bit of felt and papertrey goodness *Sigh*
Just like to say THANKYOU to OUR CREATIVE CORNER for awarding me the top talent award for my creation last week

….That just about sums up this creation…lol
I got myself a cpl of new digi images from Mo’s the other day. As i wanted to buy the ‘Cotton candy’ Make a wish fund raiser digi image. (While i was there buying it…another image jumped into me basket too…don’t ya just hate it when that happens??…lol)
This week the challenge over at Mo’s is ‘Pink and Girlie’ It’s been AGES since i joined in with one of the challenges 
Here is what i created using that FAB cotton candy image (If ya don’t have this image already get yourself over there and buy it, it’s for a great cause and it’s a really cute image too)
Here’s what i created
I created this for my niece’s birthday in a cpl of weeks. She will only be 4 so i didn’t want to add to many embellies ect onto it, I couldn’t resist adding the lil bit of blue to her dungarees…hehe! This image is so so simple to colour and so cute. It’s great to use for a kido’s birthday. I even decorated an envelope up a little to go with!

I am seriously ‘losing’ my days this last cpl of weeks with all these bank holidays…lol It’s Sunday again already! Which means it’s another MTME Pretty palette challenge
I actually struggled with the colours this week. Don’t know why, cos i do like me pink.I think that i just had no mojo and just could simply not come up with anything that i liked. In the end here is what i did.
I used the ‘Singing silhouette’ stamp set for the cage…birds and the timy flower stamp on the bg.
I smeared a lil bit of pale pink acrylic paint around the edges of me card.
Loving me bit of pink glittery sparkle

I thought i would join in with the ‘tissue paper’ challenge over at MOXIE FAB
Here is what i came up with
YES…it’s simple….understated…that’s the point of it.
Sometimes…at hard times it calls for something like this…something simple…something different,,,something to show someone that you care , that you’re thinking of them.
I remember when my son died, all the cards that i received…with sympathy…with deepest sympathy etc. These cards were ‘ok’, they were the kind of kind that were ‘acceptable’ when my dad died, when my nanna died…BUT when it’s YOUR child it’s a completely different ball game and i guess that, that’s something that you can NEVER understand unless you are in that situation yourself. You can sit there and say..Oh yeah i know how you feel…i lost my Husband/wife/Brother/Sister/Mum/Dad…blah blah…and you think that you know!!!! Believe me it is NOTHING like compared to losing a parent etc. When you lose a child part of you dies, you change, you become a different person that what you were. You ‘carry’ this ‘PAIN’ with you every day for the rest of your life.In fact from my own experience, and from what a few others have told me …at first it does actually ‘feel’ like a physical pain. The ‘pain’ never goes… 4 years on, it’s still there for me. ‘People’ seem to think that once the funeral is over, you’ll be right, you’ll get ‘over it’ . I wish they could bottle up this feeling, let people ‘really feel’ what it’s like just for a day. The whole point of crafting…creating for me is a way of trying to relax etc. i blog and i blog hop…and the amount of blogs that i stop by and i find someone ‘complaining’ over something soooo trivial…..and i just think..IF ONLY…if only that was all i had to get me down…seriously…. you really DON’T know what you have until it’s gone ,,,and then when it has ..it will haunt you for the rest of your life!
….Anyhows…iam waffling…sorry! It’s VERY rare that i ‘get into’ these sort of ‘conversations’ on here…it just started from me trying to make a point of a simple card that let’s someone know that you are there for them. The point is…sometimes a card doesn’t have to be ‘all that’ sometimes it just has to say the right thing…
Think i’ ll end this post now and go to bed before i stat going on again…lol G’nite all.
