I've been tagged by the lovely Michelle

Thanks for including me in the fun Michelle! You can see her fab blog here.

The "rules" of the game: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Ten years ago: I was a stay at home Mum.

Five things in todays 'to do list':
1. I am at work, so mostly boring works tasks today.
2. Try not to eat any chocolate.
3. Watch Big Brother whilst doing some ironing.
4. Make a card for my friends' birthday
5. I bought one of those K&Co Pads that have press out gift boxes, so will have a play with those if I get time.

Snacks I enjoy: Splendips - Sweet Chilli one and anything with Chocolate of course!!!

Things I would do if I was a millionaire:

I would make sure that my Mum & Dad were financially secure and see that the rest of my family were ok too. By a bigger house, go back to the Maldives, I haven't been there since the Tsunami on Boxing Day a few years ago, we were there for Christmas! I would love to go to the USA also, I have never been there!! Would love to have a place in France and be self sufficient.

Places I have lived: I have lived all my life in Surrey, England.

I will now tag Nikki, Kim Fee, Kim Pearce, Han and Dawn. Please take a look at these great blogs! there is some great inspiration there!

not too sure about this card, it didn't come together quite how I wanted...... stamped the lilac background paper with a Hero Arts stamp in Versamark, coloured Tilda & Bench with Prisma and Sansodor, DCWV green panel cut with nestabilities, stamped greeting is Penny Black I think, finished with fabric flower and mulberry flowers, buttons, Doodlebug jewels and a bit of doodling around the edges.

Papermania brads and a bit of doodling to finish. Hope ya like.......................

Rachel-Anne Miller stamp

I'm not too sure about this card......... I thought I'd try and colour this lovely stamp using different colours to the packaging suggestion but I think it would have probably looked better in reds and oranges, oh well, card base is Bazzill scallop and bg paper is from a DCWV glitter stack, ribbon, flower & button from stash.

Tilda card

Thank you to Tracey who gave me this Tilda image. I have coloured her with Prismas and blended with Sansodor and clear Stardust pen on her wings. Background paper, ribbon and brad are all Papermania range and the greeting is from Craftwork Cards. Hope you like......

circle card

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a great weekend! I had a little play with my new copics. this circle base card was chalked with pink and yellow pearlescent chalks then I stamped the lovely little dancer straight on to it and coloured her with the copics. I then edged the circle with a paper pricker and dots in between with a stardust sakura pen. Finshed with one of the new Prima flowers called Painterly I think from the Glitterpot with a Doodlebug jewel in the centre and a foiled greeting from Craftwork Cards.
