DRUM ROLL - Blog Award

Well it's been a week since Lee gave my my first ever blog award and now it's my turn to return the favour. Underneath you'll see the seven bloggers I'm giving the award to, they all have blogs that I love to visit.



THE RULES FOR THE AWARD

When you receive your award, you can take a copy and save the above picture and place it in your side bar to show off your award, you can place a post up announcing your award and then thank the person who nominated you in your post. In a weeks time you then nominate 7 bloggers to give the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award to.

Without further ado my seven nominees are :

1. Karen @  Redrottie Cards & Crafts  Her blog is sooooo funny with lots of tales of Kayla the Rottie.

2. Kathleen @ Kookaburracrafts. She has some fantastic tutorials on here and is always sooo helpful to everyone on the docrafts forum.

3. Jackie @ Jackie's Card Corner. There are loads of fab cards to look at on Jackie's blog....and sometimes some very funny stories from her granddaughter Ruby, well worth a read.

4. Vicky @ . Sticky With Icky  Again some fantastic cards and other items that are well worth a browse through.

5. Meeshka @ . Meesh's Place Check out some of her designs coloured with promarkers. And a fabby tutorial at the side to show how it's all done.

6. Malin @ . Majamelon There are some fabulous creations on Malins site. Not just limited to cards. Lots of beautiful tilda's to be seen.

7. Karen @ . KJs Summer Wine Korner  Karen has some gorgeous cards on her blog. Her layouts and designs are fantastic. Always sooo neat and organised.

So ladies hope you all enjoy your blog award. Although I don't comment very often on your blogs I love to visit, look forward to seeing many more of your creations.

Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award!

Oooohhhh I'm so excited tonight, Lee at CRAFTYLOOPS has given me this award and it's the first blog award I've had!

Thanks soooo much Lee, it's really appreciated


It will be cherished and entered into my sidebar lol

If I'm doing this right I have to tell you seven things you don't know about me?!

1. I am the youngest of 4 children,  my brother is next in line - he is 9 years and 3 weeks older than me.

2. I can touch my nose with my tongue!

3. I got kicked out of the school choir in primary school for being out of tune - an amazing feat as I was miming at the time!!

4. I love cooking and have a huge stash of recipe books,  some of which have never been used lol

5. I have 5 nephews and 2 nieces but have only ever met two of them - the other 5 live in NZ and I'm hoping to visit them in a few years.

6. I am terrified of spiders/snakes and frogs.

7. I took 3 attempts to pass my driving test.

Keep an eye out in a week when I'll be returning the favour and sending the award on to 7 more deserving blogs.

Humphreys Corner CD

Am loving the images on this CD.  This is one of the premade cards, you print it off and use the elements you want (the main part of the page is preprinted to the layout).  The colours are gorgous.  I just finished it off with a few flowers and pearls.  Hope you like it!


Sarah Kay

Sorry just a couple of quick posts today, been really busy at work and I've still got some to do. Used a pack of premade pages for the background to this image, love the colours.
