I'm Back !!!!!!!

Hi peeps,

Thought I would pop on to let you now that I have not vanished off the face of the earth, life has been getting in the way of my favourite hobby and I have spent little time on the computer visiting my fave blogs or making cards!!!

Hope you are all well, promise I will pop over and see my usuals as soon as I can, we have another busy weekend in store catching up with family and friends, cleaning and running errands, I am sure you all know what I mean.

Anyway my sis text me the other night to ask if I had a wedding card she could send to a special couple, well I didn't......in fact I have very few 'ready to go' cards, I really want to change all that but never seem to get the time!!

I decided to CASE this stunner by Julie Lacey, I copied it more or less exact, don't you just love Papertrey Ink's Big & Bold wishes set and SU night and day DSP really compliments it, I just love black and white. The flutterby is Papertrey's butterfly die, love it!!!




Whilst I had the stamp set out I thought I would make a couple more using Julies fab idea, I made another wedding card, this time in cream and gold and I embossed the Mr & Mrs this time, the DSP is Magnolia, available here, I must get more it.

Finally I made a thank you card, again I used Papertrey's Big and Bold wishes set, just love it, the DSP is MME Lush Red medium polka dot paper, i got mine in Hobbycraft.

Anyway, hope you like them, must dash got housework to do.....groan!!

Happy Ruby Wedding

Happy Ruby wedding anniversary (40 years of marriage) to my wonderful in-laws, big congrats to you both.

I have used the fabulous Baroque Motifs by Stampin Up to create the swirl, I have stamped it onto parchment paper in silver ink and matted it onto SU Bravo Burgundy cardstock.

I took inspiration from a card I saw on splitcoast a while ago, I need to look for the link to give proper credit.

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Dance Tilda Dance

Hi peeps, hope you are all well, we are back from a lovely week in Scotland spent with the family. Lots of craft shopping was done, I even managed a visit to the fabulous Simply Create in rural Aberdeen, er well 2 actually the first time it was half day closing...........I just assumed it would be open!!! Oh well it's only a 250 mile round trip from Kinross.......Lol. Yes I am a tad mad but I tell you once I had seen the yumminess through the windows I had to get in that shop!!!

Anyhow we managed to make a day of it the second time around and the first visit was combined with a visit to see the fab Deb (Wiccababe), loved meeting you and the little one Debz.

Anyway, whilst I was in my mother in-laws local craft shop, Stampaholics in Perth I saw a card I just had to case, I made a few minor changes but here it is:

How cute is Tilda, she is still in stock here, I just had to snap mine up.
The sentiment is from a My Favourite things set I got from Stampeezee, here. I thought it went perfect with this Tilda.

The punch is Martha Stewarts Pinking Scallop, my mother in law pipped me to the last one in Stampaholics, but I discovered Stampeezee have them to, Yay!!

Anyhow, some bling and some Diamond stickles later and voila, it was finished..........well actually it took me hours!!!!! Lol. I just loved the simplicity of this card, hope you like it.

Have a great wekend.

I love Heart Stripes!!!!!!

Hi bloggers, hope you are all well, I am still enjoying time with the family up in Scotland, I have had loads of time to craft it has been great. Tomorrow I am off to Aberdeen to meet Debbi (Wiccababe) I am soooooo looking forward to it.

Anyway, onto my card, I have followed this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch by Karen Giron, I have used another Pure Innocence Stamp from MFT, called Heart Stripes available here, I have coloured her with Promarkers as usual and paper pieced her dress.

The paper is Basic grey Kioshi I got from Stampeezee and the scallop punch is by EK Success.

Hope you like it, have a great rest of the week.

Anyone for Anya - Sketch

Hey peeps, happy Sunday to everyone, personally I am glad this week is over as It has been horrid!!! It started with my big sis being rushed to hospital with what turned outto be Pneumonia and fluid on her lung and then Friday I was told yet another of my work colleagues had passed away, he was in his forties, I still don't know how he passed, I was so upset at work on Friday I had to go home, we were pretty close as far as work colleagues go, I have cried buckets this weekend.

Anyway on a happy note, on Saturday we travelled up to Scotland to see the in-laws. My mother in law is Lil-Daffodil so she is into crafting in a big way, so it is lovely to get together and spend a few hours crafting even if she is still poorly.

Today I have ran 7.5 miles round Loch Leven and I have managed to squeeze in some crafting. I loved the Anyone for Anya sketch so I played along with the 1 and only Greeting Farm stamp my mother in law owns, anyway here is the card:

I have used The Greeting Farm's Ruby and coloured her with my Promarkers, the paper is Basic Grey Green at heart and the sentiment is from PTI's Everyday Button Bits Set.

Caseing Emma

Ok, I just had to case this card I saw on Emma's blog, I just fell in love. First though I had to accquire the Quickcutz doll and accessory die first, I managed to track both down on ebay and I snapped them up super fast.

Deb from Stampeezee has the same die and made a card using this Doodlebug DP for the dress, of course I just had to copy......sorry Deb. The sentiment is by stampendous, i really enjoyed making this card, so simple, thanks Emma. I can see all my pals getting one of these, LOL

WOYWW

I thought I would join in another what's on your work desk wednesday, i just love nosing at what other people are up to...LOL.

Anyway, mine is much the same as last week apart from a few things that seem to have landed that I have yet to put away.

You can see my copy of the new Magnolia Magazine that arrived today from Stampeezee along with another Pure Innocence stamp,seen to the right of the mag, oh my I just lurve these babies.



To the left of the mag is a pile of stamps I am determined to use them all once before I put them away and my fab Stampin Up Stamp a ma jig, me just love my ma jig, i don't do straight!!!!!

You may also spy a basic grey pad, my most used acrylic block, a discarded card I was not happy with (the lady on the white card at the back - don't like the DP I used for her dress).

Glad you can't see the rest of the room, you cannot really see the floor, why can't I make anything without the room looking like I have been burgled??

Anyway, quick update on my sis, she has some fragments of blood (Docs are questioning trauma now but she cannot think how it may have happened). She may have to have surgry to have it removed and her lung washed out, we are now not going ahead with the trip to Brighton to celebrate her 50th as she will be in hospital until at least next week and she will take at least 4-6 weeksto get over this!!

I am off to bed now as I am shattered from all the running about to hospitals, Vets, work etc, bit of a busy day really

Have a great rest of the week

Hugs
