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.

How Many???

Evening Peeps. Another glorious day here in West Yorkshire. Managed to get a little gardening done but more importantly another day of pegging the washing out...how sad, lol

Only just realised I should have had this card in the post today for my Brother's birthday next week, not that he deserves a handmade card, but that's another story....

The mice image is another LOTV stamp I picked up at Harrogate and the cupcake is the Papermania one I used the other day. Again, I've paper pieced the icing. I used copics in the BG range to keep it a bit more masculine but also because the current Copic Creations challenge is to use blues.

The DP is by Papermania, Henbury Lane and the corner shapes were made with an EK punch.
I hope you like it and here come the challenge links:-
