Bellariffic Friday On Sunday…

So, here’s my Bellariffic Friday card.  I know, I know, Friday was ages ago… The theme was “Masculine/Father’s Day”, so I used my one and only “masculine” Stamping Bella stamp!  REALLY need to rectify that, and soon! Isn’t he brilliant?  This cutie is “King of The Wild Things” and I’ve coloured him with Copics: E0000, [...]

Yoko & Ono Ketto

As promised, I’m back with a Stamping Bella card! You won’t be surprised to see another Ketto image on my card!  I just love Yoko & Ono Ketto.  Every time I see them I find myself thinking about one of my favourite Tim Burton films – Big Fish. I have of course, coloured the image [...]

WOYWW

Unfortunately there’s no card from me today, again.  Wednesdays are just rolling around far too quickly at the moment, and I have a million things to get done!  It doesn’t help that the challenge this week over at Quixotic Challenges is to use Embossing on your project, and recently in a clear out I got [...]

WOYWW & A Quick Hello!

Bellariffic Kettotastic Friday!

Somehow Friday has crept up on us again!  I won’t complain, but I would quite like to know where the week went!  I think I lost it in a mess of desks, deliveries and deadlines. This is a bit of a bumper Friday, as you’ll be getting a second blog post from me later today, with [...]

Quixotic Challenge #25: Let Your Garden Grow!

Wednesday again!  Crazy.  I have no idea where Monday and Tuesday went.  I’m in the middle of rearranging things here – a new desk arrived and went up on Monday, and then I decided I really needed another one, so that is hopefully arriving today.  That’s also why I’ve been a bit quiet! We’ve got another fab [...]
