Oli the Ephelump

You may remember Oli the ephelump from the Teddy Bo family, well he has had a bit of a make-over and is back again, after losing a little weight, and going to the gym to get a more streamlined physique LOL!

He has also managed to get himself a friend, of the female variety, called Molly who you can find HERE on Tuesday's post.

Gayle also drew this beautiful Angel/Fairy which I just had to colour up and as October is Breast Cancer Awareness month I decided to make a card in commemoration of all the friends and family I know who have fought and won their battles and also those that didn't make it.

Fa la la la la!

Where is the time going? I swear it was only April yesterday and now it's October! (starting to feel like it here now too, cool, windy and dark). It won't be long before the clocks will be going back and we will be in the Winter.

Of course, Winter means Christmas, and today I have a quick Christmas card to show you. The  design was printed onto one sheet of paper, cut out, ribbon fixed into place, attached to a blank card base and decorated, only took about 20 mins to make.

Ribbon, gems, and ribbon slider - Meiflower

I'm off to the Sincerely Yours Craft show at Leigh today, need to stock up on my smooth printer card 250gsm, from Anna Marie designs, it's about £11 a pack on the website, but you get two packs for £12 at the show and there is no postage to pay, I'm sure I will probably buy lots of other stuff too, but the card is the main thing I want.

Enjoy your weekend.

Teddy Bo Tuesday Woohoo! He's back!

Today is a special day for more than one reason, as well as being my youngest daughters 23rd birthday (Happy Birthday Meg) we are also back with a new Teddy Bo release.

After quite a long break whilst we relocated from our tower in the depths of cold, wet Scotland to a Minaret (closest thing we could find to a tower) out in the desert of a hot and sunny United Arab Emirates we are back, yaaaayyy!
