If Friends Were Flowers - Simon Says Stamp DT Card & Party Invitations

Good afternoon lovely peeps,
I have been so incredibly tired, I sit down ready to blog, switch on & zzzzzzzzzzzzzz, o.k sometimes I don't think I even manage to switch on lol.
 One more long day shift to go & I am on two weeks holiday, hubs & Jode will be riding off to Spain with the Harley club & I will hopefully be doing exactly as I please, well except for when the pups nag for a walk that is as I can't resisit those big brown eyes lol.
You may have caught a sneak peek at my post last night when I started to write it! I think Daisy Mae (cat) might have kindly published my post when she jumped up for a cuddle & I was far too busy kissing & cuddling her to realise lol.
Today is new challenge day at
& this week our challenge is
ANYTHING GOES

My lovely teamies & I are featuring Craftwork Cards products on our cards this week, if you have any we'd love to see them but as always it's not compulsory to enter our challenge :) 
 I've given Tilda the week off and inked up a cute Uptown Girl for a change & also ditched the design paper for that lovely Simon woodgrain cardstock & was so happy to see it's also available in kraft now so obviously I had to pop a pack in my basket :)
I sat looking at my pile of unopened Tilda's on my desk at the weekend & I realised I haven't coloured up any from the latest collection yet! Deary me that needs rectifying lol.
The copic colours I've used are -
skin - E11, E00, E000, R12, hair E44 E43, E43, clothes, gloves & headscarf - B93, B91, BG10 / RV95, RV93, RV91 / R83, R81, RV00 + white gel pen,  flowerpots - C3, C1, C0 / E15, E11, E00 / E87, E84, E81, flowers - YR27, YR21, YR20 / R85, R83, R81 / RV55, RV52, RV00, leaves - YG97, YG93, YG91 / YG67, YG63, YG61.
The grass has so many different greens I didn't note them all sorry peeps.

 I'm entering my card in the following challenges - 
Make It Monday - anything goes

I have also been a busy girl making birthday party invitations as my gorgeous great-niece little Casey will soon be one year old :)
I've been seeing clouds, banners & balloons in my sleep I've die cut that many lol. I'm not having much luck with technology at the moment as my all in one printer & scanner has died on me which was especially annoying as I couldn't personalise the front or print out the inserts. I did contemplate getting out my alphabet stamps & stamping them for one crazy split second & then thank goodness a little bit of common sense kicked in as that would have taken me hours or even days lol.
The only variation in the invitations is I have used both of Simon's exclusive Tilted Banner dies to save me a little time with die cutting as the dies are joined so I could cut two at a time, & those lovely clouds which keep on appearing my cards are also an exclusive Simon die :)
A big sigh of relief was had when I had twenty gorgeous little Casey's smiling at me, aww :)
I really must remember CAS is the way to go when short of time & for bulk orders, will I never learn lol.
That's me done for today lovely peeps, thanks for stopping by
