Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all well. Excuse my lack of posts as usual! I will try to get my behind in gear and get posting more as I am still regularly making my cards and other things.</div>

I would also like to share with you photos of my craft room which has come together recently.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a pop up card for my Mum for Mothers Day using beautiful craft work card goodies, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used snippets of designer papers that had been used on another project to make this project. Don't you just love it when you have scraps that fit a space on your card perfectly?</div>

<br />

Hi all,</div>

Hope you are all well! Just a random post from me with a card I made for my God Daughters First Birthday a week ago. </div>

I have been busy recently, we have had our bathroom fitted so we now have a bath, sink and toilet woohoo! I have finished all of the bedrooms so we just need carpet fitting now which will be within the next couple of weeks. The next big task is to fit our kitchen but we have built about 4 units ourselves so far. Hopefully about a month or so and we will be in... :-)</div>

<br />
I have decided to have a blogging hiatus, just for a little while... I find I don't have enough time for crafting at the moment what with trying to get the house ready to move in to and work. I also have to start a new job in a month as I am on rotation so have a few things going on currently which means I'm going to take a short break from blogging.<br />
<br />
I will continue to work for my Forever Friends design team and may occasionally post the odd card if I get chance, I just thought it would be good to announce that I may not be as regular as usual rather than leave you in the dark!<br />
<br />
We are looking to move in to our house in the next month or two so hopefully it won't be long until I have my craft room up and running and can start making cards regularly!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for all of your support recently, I will continue to comment on your blogs too!!<br />
<br />

Hi everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you have had a lovely weekend and week!</div>

I spent last weekend at home in Norfolk with my parents after they returned from their holiday in Egypt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made this card for my best friend for her 21st birthday. I must admit, I absolutely loved how this one turned out! Probably one of my favourites and I think that might be down to the gorgeous flowers, they remind me of all the lovely flowers out at the moment! Thank you so much Di ;-)</div>

The image is from kanban crafts and I used snippets of white card for the butterfly and the swirlies! All of the flowers are from wild orchid crafts, absolutely stunning! Background paper from kanban crafts too. Topped with glitter, pearls and a gorgeous wooden heart bought off ebay!</div>

Hi all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a little clear out of one of my craft drawers today and have these wooden stamps I have hardly used. Some of them haven't even been inked! They may catch your eye, or they may be suitable for the younger people you know!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wondered if anybody would be interested in these or could give them a good home?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If so, please leave a comment on this post and I will draw a name out of a hat in a months time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Draw closes 20th April.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you would like to put the pic on your sidebar you may but it is not a requirement. Also, I would love it if you could become a follower.</div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I am sharing this card I have made for my Mum for Mothers Day tomorrow. I had seen these gorgeous Mum sentiments on <a href="http://pinkpetticoat.co.uk/" target="_blank">Pink Petticoat</a>s boutique and just loved the words so got them recently to make a little something with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a big fan of <a href="http://www.jules-alwayswithaheart.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jules' Blog</a> too, Jules has inspired me with all of her gorgeous Mothers Day creations and my card was inspired by one of her stunning designs. Thank you for the inspiration Jules! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card used Pink Petticoat papers, a Tim Holtz Tattered Floral Die, a Corner Die by Memory Box and the Butterflies are Woodware Punches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you so much for looking today!</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just thought I would let you know I have just updated my 'Our House' page with updated photos of our house! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you fancy being nosey and seeing what I've been up to...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lozadoodle.blogspot.co.uk/p/our-house.html" target="_blank">Click Here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, the reason I have shared these photos is so you all understand why I haven't been updating as much on my blog and haven't had the chance to comment quite as regularly as before. Hopefully as things start progressing a bit more I will get more time to update my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for looking,</div>

It has certainly changed since the last photos I uploaded. I will post some more soon.<br />
<br />
How have you all been? Hope you are well.<br />
<br />
I have still been making cards so will try and post some more as soon as I can.<br />
<br />
For now, here is a card with a gorgeous A Day For Daisies Image which I have coloured and mounted on to a 6x6 card.<br />
<br />
As this card used up yet more snippets I would like to enter this in to <a href="http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/pixies-crafty-snippets-playground-week_17.html" target="_blank">Pixies crafty workshop snippets challenge</a><br />

Hi everyone, here I am posting my first ever coloured Saturated Canary card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am reasonably pleased with how it turned out, I have expanded my promarkers collection slowly and have watched and viewed many tutorials! Practice makes perfect hey?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The beautiful papers are Pink Petticoat, I added pearls, flowers, twine and a sentiment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have slowly been wading through my snippets box and managed to use up more left over card!</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How are you all?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been off work this week and typically have got a cold! Isn't that always the way, you have time off and get ill so you don't feel like doing anything! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily I still have the energy to make a card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made this card using 'chocolate box' by Lili of the Valley. I stamped and coloured the image last year but never got round to putting it on to a card so have made this 5x5 number to add to the box!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used snippets of card to make this card. The spotty paper is pink petticoat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added hobby craft flowers, a purple brad and some pink pearls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi All!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Woohoo! I have made my first entry for Sarn's <a href="http://www.stampingforpleasure.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/rudolph-day-january-25th.html" target="_blank">Rudolph Day Challenge</a>, the first of the year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got some lovely coloured gems and wooden snowflakes for Christmas and this is their first outing. I used a LOTV cute square and added stickles and some red cord. Papers are from Pink Petticoat. I also used a new Distress Ink Pad I got for Christmas too, it is 'Antique Linen' and is the first time I have ever used distress inks! You can't really see the result in the photo but I am really pleased with the way it turned out in RL.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I used snippets up (red papers) I would like to enter this card in to Di's <a href="http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/pixies-crafty-snippets-week-57.html" target="_blank">Snippet Challenge</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another one to add to the box! This year it is my resolution to try and build up my 'pink box', the box I hold all of my cards in. Last year I had the most cards I had ever made, then sold them all on a stall so now don't have too many :-( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I get very envious when I see other people's card stashes! I need to build mine up so hopefully you will see lots more cards from me, trying to fill up my box! What do you keep your cards in and do you have many?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here is monkey number 2! I am not so keen on monkey number 2, I was disappointed with my promarkers, one had dried out and I didn't realise until I started colouring monkeys mouth hence the random line! (Hopefully you can't see too much) does anyone have any tips for dried out promarkers? Or is it a case of say bye bye and throw in the bin?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi everyone, hope you are well and keeping warm in this chilly weather! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I will be sharing a card I made for a little boy. I also made this in blue but a slightly different version. I definitely prefer the green monkey as the papers are slightly embossed and I think the sentiment gives it a nice touch.</div>

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around for a week or so, I've been very busy making a project for my Mum and Dad's Silver Anniversary. I will share this with you another day as they have not received it yet, however they have received their card so I can share that today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made this card with the intention of it being quite CAS as I wanted it to be quite special for them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added Tim Holtz Tattered Florals and some punches from hobbycraft. I used pearlised card and was searching for hours looking for the right textured paper to go with it and voila I found a snippet of cream textured card in my snippets box!! I used it for the frame behind the sentiment and some of the flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I topped it off with ribbons and pearls (the ribbon was straight by the way, I think it is the angle I took the photo from)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Mum and Dad went to Las Vegas for their Anniversary and saw Celine Dion live at Caesars Palace, I was very jealous as I am a big fan of hers! So glad they had an amazing time though. They took the card with them to Las Vegas (which I also made a box for on my hougie board so it didn't get squashed in their case!) and we video called each other when they opened it, they loved it so I was really pleased!</div>

I used the lovely Bugaboo image, a sentiment by TLC and some papers by Pink Petticoat. The flowers were from my stash, ribbon using up some snippets, along with the pink backing card. I put stickles on the image for the bubbles to add some glamour!</div>

<br />
Today is the first monthly challenge of the year for <a href="http://foreverfriendschallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/monthly-challenge-for-january.html?m=1">Forever Friends Challenge Blog</a>.<br />
The theme this month is Birthdays, it will be nice to make something other than Christmas cards I feel!<br />
<br />
The prizes this month come from a great digi stamp company <a href="http://thedigigarden.weebly.com/">The Digi Garden</a> from which I have used a gorgeous little fairy image.<br />
<br />
If you would like to use a Forever Friends image on your card you also get entered in to the Forever Friends Monthly Favourite who is sponsored by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/sop/michelleperkett">Michelle Perkett</a>, another fab digi stamp company!<br />
<br />
Please join in with us this month if you have some Birthdays coming up!<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
