Good Afternoon All,

Well I will be back soon with cards and more, but I just had to let you all know that Tickled Pink Stamps is looking for a celebrity guest for our new release of Lil Lolita Stamps coming SOON….  Want to know more?  OF course you do, jump on over HERE….. to read all the details.

Also I HAD to put word verification back on my blog.  I was getting NO lie 100-200 spam comments a DAY!  And I am thinking it was the cause of missing emails and sending some emails to spam a lot instead of my inbox.  It was causing all sorts of troubles and I now have over 3000 spam comments to delete and with my word press I can only delete 20 at a time, so long process!  I am so sorry as I know it can be annoying but since popping it back on, no spam, whoo hoo and emails are slowly running as normal, still some that get to spam instead of my inbox but should all be sorted soon.

Be back soon with The Stamping Bazaar and All That Scraps!

**THIS IS MY SECOND POST OF THE DAY, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE SECOND PREVIEW FOR THE STAMPING BAZAAR, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FURTHER**

Well I completely slipped and forgot the days and got everything all mixed up that I forgot all about my Lil Lolita Boutique card, eeeek!  But i thought I should let you all know that the challenge this week is …..

Good Afternoon All,

Well I reckon I have had a cold for going on 3 weeks and have not been able to make anything for almost as long!  Emailing and Blogging I can do hehe, but when I have sat down to craft…….. NOTHING is working and my nose is running like a tap that I just give in and crawl in bed with my lappy and usually a dvd as well as a sleeping hubby beside me hehe, OH and a box of tissues!  It’s not that the ideas are not there, as I have so many and all the challenges and DT work I have missed because of it got to me…  So last night I said NOPE that’s it I will beat you cold!  Both my younger 2 Heidi and Chloe are sick too, Chloe was up most of the night and is in my bed watching a DVD but sleeping on and off, soooo not her and just proves how ill she is feeling, and this is the first time she has let me out of her site for more than 10 min so typing very softly, hehe!  And my eldest is at camp and I am sooooo hoping she comes home ok, tomorrow will tell!

SO after all that waffle….. The challenge at Lil Lolita Boutique Challenges this week is…..

POLKA DOTS….

Dots, dots, lots of dots that’s what we want to see!  Actually can be a little bit, lots or all of it, as long as there are some polka dots somewhere YOU in!  I am also playing along for the first time with The Lollipop Ladies and they have a photo inspiration and I went with the colours for inspiration…..  Also Cupcake Craft Challenge this week their challenge is ……LACE…… OH how I love me some lace!  And last of all Cute Card Thursday and their challenge that I am most likely late for hehe …. WHATEVA….  So here is what I cam up with, this card was inspired by the gorgeous Kylie Blonde with her TGFcritter card she made and sent me *had to add that in there, hehe* and by the talented Amy Young and her amazing head shots of the gorgeous Lil Lolita stamps *also coming my way, yeah I did it again, hehe*  NOW be kind remember mojo-less lol…..

Well as you know I got the biggest surprise and that just didn’t happen as planned.  BUT I still wanted to let you all in on the challenge and if you bought some Lil Lolita Digi’s then please come and join us this week.  Speaking odf there are only about 5 still left to order, all the rest SOLD OUT to the limit and then second limit I set, WOOT WOOT what a FABULOUS sale! So the challenge is…..

BLING IT…… Lots of sparkle, can be in the paper, can be some brads or rhinestones can be the added touch of pearls, can be glitter, dazzling diamonds I mean you name it, if it blings your in! And the prize this week is…..

*WARNING : Please be advised this post will be long and will contain a long amount of waffles*

Before I get on with this I just wanted to wish my mini me a BIG Happy 11th Birthday today.  I do not know where the years went I can still remember her first day of school clear as day….

I think you can see why I call her my mini me!  She had her birthday party Friday night with2 girls sleeping over and right now we are having a lazy Sunday watching DVDs with it freezing outside, lol!  Speaking of Kira she is now a Jr Design Team member for Tickled Pink Stamps and will soon have her very own BLOG!

OK so while I have not been totally MIA I have not posted as much as usual and or gotten around to commenting like I would like to and usually do.  Also falling behind on DT work and letting you know challenges etc.  Just been one of those months so far, lol.  The Fashionette Lil Lolita stamps arrived WHOO HOO and with the help of Kira we packed them all and watched many Blue Heeler episodes, lol.  We packed all the orders yesterday and no lie there was about 50+ popped into the mail box I think I filled it up hehehe!  And I still have more as I ran out of postage stamps!

So what did I miss to post?  BEFORE I get onto that have you noticed something, I think you might had, how could you not!?  The gorgeous Heather over at Individual Blog Banners made me an amazing header, watermark, siggy and some sidebar dividers….  I absolutely LOVE them all and she was absolutely amazing, listened to everything I said and then some a HUGE thank you Heather.  Want a gorgeous new, fresh looking blog?  Look no further than Heather…..HERE….

I have made a card, Kira and I took some time last night to make some cards.  Hubby is away camping and should be back soon-ish and the little 2 were in bed and so we decided to have a little cardmakingsession.  I decided to leave all the DT work and just make a card for FUN and fun it was….. I am playing along with Tiddly Inks Challenge #12 and their challenge this week is….

SUMMER FUN…..

And here is what I came up with….

Other : Mesh Ribbon, Black and White Ribbon, Brad, Chipboard Bird and Thongs Charm.

I actually masked, first time ever and it didn’t stamp right lol, and I was going to cut her out and just mount her on another background but then I thought mmmmm I like the ruff, rustic look of it!
