Fun bags!!!

Hello out there in blog land , I hope your summer has been fun and eventful, in a good way that is.

I have been very busy with one thing and another, crafting of course for different things, but more than anything decorating as we are putting our house on the market.

It has a nice craft room for anyone interested!!!

Here is a little make that I am doing on on the tele for Hobby house so if you fancy a peep it's create and craft at 1 pm

I am doing other things too, I will be covering a laughing cow cheese box with those gorgeous pearl strings from the hobby house and lots of other goodies

sir Stampalopt Challenge.

good morning, is it nice out there where you are, I do hope so.

I do realise that I have been a bad blogger, but at this time of the year I have to be outside as we have quite a lot of garden that needs tending, I want to move, and have a bit less, but my boys are so happy here.

my card is made with lots of little stamps ( mainly hero arts) from various sets.

the leaves are a nesti.

and the flower shape is also a nesti.

this month on the Sir Stampalot Challenge we want to see Magical worlds, don't worry it can be as simple as a butterfly like mine.

check out the rest of the DT to see what they have been up to here

oh yes and this is what you could win!

do you remember last month over on the Sir Stampalot Challenge blog you had to work out who was who , well this was me at around 9 year old, I wondered if you guessed correctly.
