About Me

My photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for several years but now spend most of my time either knitting or crocheting. However, with the advent of a New Year I have bitten the bullet and am tackling my usually hated pastime of sewing. I've even bought 'Sewing for Dummies' to guide me on my way. I've been with my hubby Dave for 24 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and a dog, the latter features as my 'photo' image. I used to be able to blog daily but these days I struggle to blog weekly. Hopefully now we are settled into our new home in the country, I can get back to a daily (well almost) update from the room I now have to share with hubby. No more personal crafting space for me!!! Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration, and thank you to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog.

Sketch and Stash # 38; Cupcake #96; Paper Sundaes # 23; Crafty Creations #73

I'm still not quite back into my crafting yet but I'm getting there slowly. Although I've cheated somewhat with this one as there's no stamping involved - my Yahoo Group Mum will be disappointed in me, sorry!

Anyway, I wanted to leave you with a card for the weekend as we're whizzing up to Scotland tomorrow to see our new Grandson - 1 week old today. We'll also be able to see our wee Grand-daughter while we're up there so look out for some piccies next week.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Sketch and Stash #38 - following their sketch and the stash is the buttons
Cupcake #96 - Strawberries and Cream - I hope I've covered that with the colours I've used
Paper Sundaes # 23 - Pretty as a Princess - I've used a Craft Stamper digital vintage image and popped a grunge board crown on her head, coloured with dabbers and distress ink
Crafty Creations #73 - Add some shine - plenty of bling there with the pearls from The Hobby House.

I hope you like it and the challenge links are below, x
