This card is six by six so you can tell how big the stamp (Stampendous) is.
It has been stamped with Versafine onto one of my inky backgrounds.
I'm just having five minutes while the Doodle Bird is having a pre lunch nap. She's been a little angel this morning. I think the terrible two's are behind us now as we have had no tantrums for some time.
If the weather holds out we shall be out in the garden this afternoon....if not we will be making matching games. I've printed off some cards from Activity Village and laminated them so hopefully Ruby will have fun with those.
A bit of cooking to be done and then tonight I shall be crafting as I have persuaded Mr Manic to save the last episode of Foyle's War for Sunday night.
Does anyone know of any other series similar to Foyle's War? I have really enjoyed it even though it's not my usual type of viewing.
Right......I'm off to make the most of my hour of peace.
Thanks for your visit.

A butterfly collage (Papermania) stamped onto two inky backgrounds. I couldn't begin to tell you which inks and sprays I used. They were the results of a mad late night inky session in the kitchen a few weeks ago where I made a huge stack of backies from some watercolour paper I found in my stash.
The butterfly has been cut out and mounted over the background and then glazed with Glossy Accents with a little glitter sprinkled into it.
The flourish is from a set of stamps by Viva.
I am slightly traumatised by the mess Miss Doodle has made today. She makes a mess any day of the week but today was mega mess day. As part of her toilet training she gets a sticker for performing and for every seven stickers she gets a treat. Today she chose a glittered cowboy hat for her dressing up box which she decided to chew and scrape at with her teeth......which made me feel sick anyway but gawd you should have seen how far the glitter spread. She was covered, the sofa was covered...I even had it in my tea.
I had to take her out onto the back yard and hose her legs off it was so bad before I could get her ready for being picked up. The carpets have been hoovered three times and I still see pink glitter winking at me. The blame is squarely on DD's shoulders as she bought the damn thing...I'm off to give her a beating......lol!!!
I should get some crafty time in tonight and tomorrow Ruby will be out with daddy so once the house jobs are done I shall be in the back room stamping....joy!!!
Bye for now.

This is a card I made just before I started moving downstairs.
The image is from The Wax Fruit Company and is printed onto two different papers. The small flower has been coloured with Promarkers.
A few gems added for a bit of sparkle and a large stamped sentiment by Woodware.
I am loving being back downstairs. My mojo is definitely at it's best down here. I made six cards yesterday and the same today so I am in seventh heaven.
Boring bit now though.....I have to go and do inserts and packing as it's fill up day at the shop tomorrow.
The gorgeous Ruby will be here in the morning and I bet she is going to have a field day in the back room but I shall be keeping a close eye on her after she ruined twenty one quids worth of ink pads last Wednesday.....the little munky.
Best go and get on then.
Thanks for dropping by.

.......is going very well so far.
Mr Manic made me very happy indeed when he went out and bought me some new flooring to replace the old carpet I ripped up.
Total cost of my new room so far is £60 plus some very hard graft moving stuff downstairs.
Upstairs will be used as a storage room for car boot stuff for a couple of weeks and then it will be transformed into Doodle's boudoir/playroom. I shan't do a themed room for her as she won't stay that often just yet I don't expect.
I think I have maybe another couple of hours 'go' in me and then it's veg time in front of the tv watching Foyle's War with hubby. It's not something I thought I would enjoy but I am loving it.
DD is making me take a little break tomorrow and we are off out to Derby for noodles and a mooch around the shops before we go food shopping.
Thanks for dropping by.

When we moved to this house nearly seventeen years ago the extension on the back of the kitchen became my craft room. Since then I have been up in the loft and then in one of the bedrooms. Now I am back where I started in the extension but it is kitted out now with some secondhand kitchen units which I was given for free by the lovely man who does all of our building work and I am slowly moving stuff down to fill all of the cupboards and shelves.
I doubt that there will be much going on in the way of actual crafting for a couple of days but just you watch me once I have everything sorted. I'm going to be one happy bunny back in the heart of the house.
See you soon.
