Fairy delightful.....

Hi, and welcome!

It sees to have been one of those loooong weeks when I have been busy-busy, but don't really seem to have achieved much.....sigh......BUT....I did get to see the brilliant Les Miserables......twice!

What a surprise to hear the gorgeous voice Russell Crowe has!!

When he sang the evocative "Stars", I almost melted with delight.....ahemmm!

I read the book when was 16 years old and it had a profound effect on me. I also remember seeing an old film, and went to see the stage production when it was launched, 27 years ago. It was wonderful to see Colm Wilkinson, who first brought us the character of Jean Valjean to the stage, playing the Bishop in the film.

I often shed tears during the film....but was brought to a drippin', sobbin' state when I heard one of the closing lines.....

"To love another person is to see the face of God."

Oh, my!

Anyway, it's Friday......hooray!.....and there's another challenge going on at

Card Crafter's Circle

The theme this week is

GREEN AND YELLOW

and we are so pleased to have one of our favourite sponsors back with us

Milk Coffee will provide a generous 5 images to our randomly drawn winner.....you'll have loads of fun trying to choose from so many!

I made a girlie card with the very pretty Tiffany Fairy......

I love green! I started with a white card base and layered on some green Raspberry Road paper. I cut the doily shape with a Nestie from a piece of Nitwits paper.............

A very pensive little fairy, lol.....I used a mixture of Spectrum Noir and Promarkers to colour her up and added some sparkle to her hair, wings and the flowers......I haven't fussy-cut for a while, so this made a nice change........

The sweet sentiment was cut from another freebie page of sentiments. I added some teeny pearls to the corners and put a piece of green mesh behind......

A few strands of fibres, tucked under the fairy image, make her look as if she's sittin' in a nest...hahaaa!

A couple of flutterbies, cut from glittery pink card, are the finishing touches.

My Teamies have produced some really lovely cards for your inspiration, so please take a few minutes to check out their creations.

hugs,

Busy Little Girlie!

Hello, and a warm welcome!

Can you believe it.........a WHOLE day to myself......well, if you ignore Jonathan coming by three or four times (he keeps some of his work equipment in our garage), and raiding the fridge each time! Otherwise, I've not even had a ringing 'phone to bother with.......pinch me, it must be a lovely dream, because that never happens......not a full day to myself!!

Well......maybe it did happen, because I got THREE cards made.....I repeat.....THREE....now that is a first, lol!

I even managed to do a little family history research.......something very close to my heart. I'm back to 1745 on my Mam's line, and 1800 on my Dad's......both lines take me back to Ireland, with stops on the way in Scotland, Germany and France.......bit of a mongrel, eh?..lol.

I made this card with one of the little girls in my church nursery class in mind. We've got three girlies with a birthday this month........one is turning two, and the other two will be three, a few days later, on the same day!

We also have a sweet little boy who will turn 2 in June, and I'll show his card, maybe tomorrow.....another male card finished......whoopee!

On with the show......

Again, I started with a textured white card base and layered some embossed green DP, more of the white textured, and a piece of this lovely muted pink gingham, which I then hand-stitched (as per, lol). A smaller piece of the embossed green was sewn onto a scrap of kraft, and then came the cute image...............

I've been holdin' on to this little digi cutie for ages.......look at those chubby legs!......and she was yet another freebie from Paulette at Create with TLC (link in the sidebar).......

I happen to know that the little miss that this card is intended for loves sunflowers, so I couldn't resist addin' this lovely one to one of the tiny yo-yos that I sewed, a while ago....still got a whole box of these dinky what-nots......

The birthday sentiment was.....yep....another freebie from Paulette....and I added a twinkle of pink Sakura sparkles on the teeny cupcake, and added some gorgeous spotted lilac grosgrain ribbon....just the job!
