Spring Is In The Air - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Good morning peeps,
It looks like it's going to be another beautiful day today :)
 I'm in need of resting my shoulder so it looks like a day at home & keeping out of mischief for me today, then again who needs to leave home to find mischief lol.

Today is new challenge day at
& this week it's 

My lovely teamies & I are showcasing some gorgeous My Favourite Things products this week. 
I most definitely did not switch on my brain before making my DT card as when I went to upload it in the DT blog I realised there was not one MFT product on it, so I headed back into my craft room to make another. 
Take two! Card finished & in the process of uploading in the DT blog, searching in store to link products I couldn't understand why I couldn't find my dies in store, I had only gone & used Memory Box dies arrrrgh, easy mistake girls, well they are the same colour lol.
Just in case there was ever any doubt I am officially an air head lol, but I managed to get it right on my third attempt, well almost I thought the leaf branches were MFT dies but they are CC Designs duh, note to self - label dies lol.
Ingredients - 
Medium - Copics
Ribbon - May Arts
Twine - Hemptique
Charm - Symbolise

The Copic colours I've used are - Tilda - skin E11,E00,E000,R30,R20, hair E44,E42,E41, dungarees - B95 B93,B91,N3,N1, boots & hat - E35,E33,E31,E30, top RV95, RV93, RV91, sheep - W7,W6,W4,W2,W00, tree - E27,E25,E23,G43,G40, rabbit - C5,C3,C1,C00, grass - E44,YG97,YG95,YG93
 As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a mahoosive $50 in store spending spree in the 
Don't forget to keep an eye on the store blog peeps for lots of lovely inspiration, featured products & lots of chances to win lovely candy :)
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Creative Card Crew - Spring, Deep Ocean - more than one stamp, Paper & Such Design - Spring, Top Tip Tuesday - Easter/animals, Kreative Stamp Friends - Spring, Lollipop Crafts - anything goes, Make It Monday - anything goes, Squigglefly - anything goes, Stamps & Fun = Creativity - make your own flowers, The Pink Elephant - butterflies, Totally Stampalicious - critters, 2 Sisters - Spring is in the air, Colour Me Creative Copic - anything goes, Crafty Calendar - March Spring clean (older stamps), Sketch Saturday - sketch, Sweet Stampin' - anything goes, Gingerloft - Happy Birthday, Sentimental Sundays - Easter/Spring, The Crafty Pad - some bunny loves you, Crafty Ann's - Easter/Spring, Crafty Catz - Spring, Fairy Fun Fridays - Spring, Inspire Me Fridays - anything goes, Simply Create Too - Spring
 As the weather is so lovely at the moment we decided to make the most of it & spent the afternoon with our precious little man (great nephew) Ollie yesterday. Jodie took him swimming & we met her & Ollie later in the beautiful park close to the town centre.
That little fella just melts my heart, then again so does his daddy my nephew Rob :)
I love this piccy, every time he got to the bottom of the slide he said "WOW" & I snapped him just as he was saying it :)
Getting tired so stopped for a rest with hubby, I'm not sure which one needed to rest most lol.
Just time for an ice-cream before shutting those tired little eyes, awww, we love him sooooooo much.
 Thanks for stopping by

  5. Sweet little fella Mandy and your card is gorgeous! Love the story because that's what I do.. can't tell you how many times I've taken my photo and don't notice a pearl has fallen off until it's been posted. Anyway, great colouring and I really like those little rolled flowers - going to have to check them out.
