Thank you everybody

Good evening friends

Sorry that I have been out of action for a few weeks but I should be slowly getting back to norm (whatever that is??????) over the next few days. I have finally had my operation on my foot and am sporting a lovely big blue shoe to protect it. The problem is the shoe is enormous and I keep falling over it.

PussKat has decided she doesn't like me at the moment. I can't blame her really. She was rescue cat from the RSPCA and although she has settled in beautifully (she now rules the place!!!) she still doesn't like loud noises or sudden movements, so me falling over and hobbling around is not helping.

I would like to say a massive 'Thank you' to all of my ladies who came to my class at Sir Stampalot on Saturday (We had such a great time) for making me sit down at regular intervals. There were some real funny moments telling stories of incidents that have happened on various visits to hospitals and as some of my ladies actually work in a hospital environment they were quite graphic at times. Glad I heard them after my operation or I may just have changed my mind.

The good thing about having some time off work is that I can get some crafting done so I should be able to show some more examples soon.

Here is a card that I made using one of 'The Lily of The Valley' rubber stamps. I just love these little girls, they are so cute. Visit their site to see the other designs that they have on offer.

Good Evening Everyone








A quick posting before bedtime because it's back to work tomorrow after half term break. (They never seem long enough to get everything done that I need to get done!)Scrap-creations have a challenge to make a 'Birthday Card'. I have had these two stamps by Whipper Snapper for ages and haven't used them and so this seemed the ideal opportunity. I love the combination of black and orange together (must use it more often). The insides of the cards have been decorated in a similar theme to the front. I always do this to my cards as I feel that it gives them a more finished feel.







Hope you like them.

Another Busy Day

Just had another busy day! My DH and I spent most of it in IKEA buying more storage. Just when I think I have got everything I need for the crafting room then I go and buy something else that needs to be stored somehow. There hasn't been any time left for crafting and so I thought I would share with you a photograph that DH took on a recent trip to London. It shows the view from the London Eye but because I am scared of heights I stayed on the ground. Hopefully I shall be back to crafting tommorrow.

Gardening Time

With the weather slowly improving I really need to find the time to do some jobs in the garden. The problem is I have a very big garden and a very long list of jobs. I have made a start though - I made a notice for the shed door! My DH cut me a plaque from an off-cut of wood (we have loads of those!)I painted it using left over paint (lots of that too!), cut out the lettering using my Bigshot and then cut out the shape of the wheelbarrow using my cricut machine.

Well that's one job done, next on the list is the weeding...unless I can find something else to do instead.

Black and White and One other colour

http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/2011/02/week-8-black-white-one-colour.html


The new challenge over at Charisma Cardz is 'Black and White and One other colour' Here is my entry using one of the cute 'Adorables' from Sugar Nellie. I have stamped her using Memento ink and then colured her using peach colured pencils and then mounted the image onto peach Bazill card. The white scalloped edge card was covered in Black Bazill and then black and white patterned paper and the whole thing has been finished with Black organza ribbon, Black butterfly and white paper roses. The inside of the card is decorated with the same theme as the front. Hope you like it.

Visit www.sugarnellie.com to see the full range of 'Adorables'.

Valentines Day Alternative

Good evening Everyone.

I thought that I would share with you an alternative valentine card that I made using this gorgeous girl from Kenny K. The image was coloured in using my trusty copics pens and mounted onto a scolloped edged card. Embellishments used include satin ribbon, paper flowers, mini brads and paper doilies.
