Oh baby, it's Songbird time!

Errr.. sorry thought I had scheduled this?!?! D'oh
Good Morning Songbirds!

I hope you are safe and warm where ever you may be! we have had a very disappointing snow fall here in Dundee! barely enough to cover the ground, swiftly followed by a melt! I am a big kid a heart and wake up every morning and the first thing I do is run to the window!! and nothing!!!! just a few miles up the road they have had loads!!  Not Fair!!!! Lol!!

Well it's time for another songbird challenge! this time it is 

Baby Mine!

I have used this Beautiful image from Teddy Bo This was actually a freebie that the lovely Gayle gave away a little while ago!! I just added a little hint of colour with my copics. the papers are Cloud nine baby boy, the sentiment is lili of the valley and the pretty corner a la la land die.

Happy Saturday!!!!

Wow just about half way through January already! Still no real snow here in Dundee! I thought we were going to have a really white winter, after we had a good covering in the middle of November!!! Not sure if the lack of snow is a good thing or not!! the child in me loves snow, the grown up thinks about the hassles!!

Well it's time for another challenge over at basic grey! As always we have our amazing sponsor Simon Says Stamp:

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Good afternoon!

Sorry I'm late with my basic grey card, I am still being plagued by these crazy Saturday Migraines!! Really can't understand what is causing them, A lovely blogging friend suggested it could be because I am sleeping later on a Saturday which makes great sense because even as a child that would sometimes trigger a headache! but in the last few months they have started waking me up in the early hours!?!?!? this morning it woke me up a 6am, I dutifully took some paracetamol and went back to sleep, but the darned thing hasn't let up all day!!! I only crawled out of bed at 14.00 and it's still sore now at 16.20!!  Anyhoo enough of my moaning!! :) 

This fortnight over at Basic grey challenges  "It's begining to look a lot like Christmas" 

Kinda loving this one!! the 2 stamps are Magnolia the background  is from this years Christmas collection and the sweet Tilda is a few years old The beautiful papers are basic grey Figgy Pudding. I have coloured the images with my copics and treated  some areas to a liberal dusting of glamour dust!

pretty Ballerina Bea

Howdy Peeps

Today I have a pretty Teddy Bea Card To Share with you all!

isn't she just so pretty! I printed her out in a slightly paler ink and I think it really suits her, she looks so soft. I have coloured her with my copics, the beautiful papers are Maja. I have used some tulle behind the prima flower and used some card candy in the centre, the white flowers on Beas hat and the wee pompoms are glittered, I have give the metal corner a bit of a frantage treatment and it is really sparkly and glittery, really starting to love these products and I am sure to experiment some more in the near future.

I have a sweet Christmas Angel for you today!

went for a different colour scheme on this one, think I will have to re-take this piccie tomorrow, the colours are not good! I have coloured with my copics, and airbrushed around the image also with my copics.
