Create4Fun Challenge

What a horrid day today.
I didn't get much sleep last night because my husband snores so loud that I am sure you can all hear him!!

I went for a walk this morning and it started raining. I was going to go out but then I couldn't be bothered.
Anyway I have been creative and made a card for the Create4Fun Challenge, which was a sketch.

I was rather pleased with the card till I realized that I had ommited to put a strip at the bottom, so I had to stick some ribbon on - but then I wasn't sure just where to put the bow. Anyway it doesn't look too bad does it?

Me and our Kath are off over to Julies Stampin Up open day tomorrow, so I am really looking forward to that. See you soon, Julie.
that's all for today,
back soon.

Just Magnolia Challenge

Hi Everyone,
My next door neighbour works at the fire station and she says that they were all sent an email today saying that there was a severe weather warning for 12 o'clock tonight - so we will see whether or not we wake up to snow tomorrow morning.

I have been at my sister's today trying to help her to set up a blog - I don't think she has written anything much on it yet but I will give you the link and perhaps you might like to keep checking back.
It is called Plain & Simple

Here is my entry for the Just Magnolia Challenge - I must say there are some gorgeous cards on there.


That is all for tonight.
Thank you for looking

Love you much project

Sorry I did not get back to you yesterday with this project.

It is one that I got from Jenny Moors over at Stamping Moments.

I did not have the stamp set that she used so I used some digital images from Pink Petticoat but I think it works pretty well.

This is the front of the container - which holds 4 3x3 cards.

and here are the 4 cards.

tomorrow I will show you another one that I made which contains After Eights and you will then be able to see the inside (I forgot to take a photo of the inside of this one). Or you could hop over to Jenny's blog.

Back soon,

luv

Just Magnolia Challenge

Hi Everyone - I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day yesterday and that your hubbies treated you well.
My husband did manage to buy me a card and a bunch of flowers but he usually writes me a little verse in the card and he "hasn't had time" to write one. Don't quite know what to make of that excuse.
Anyway I did take time out of my "busy doing nothing" schedule to make him a card which I was quite pleased with and I also made him a verse to go inside it.

I decided that the card would fit into the Just Magnolia Challenge which has the theme "LOVE"
so here is the card.

The flowers actually look a bit darker than they are but I didn't want to do them the same colour as the dress.
The papers are downloads and I have used the Martha Stewart Heart Border Punch and coloured the Magnolia Images with Copic Markers.
Thank you for looking - check back tomorrow because I will have something else to show you that I did for Valentine's Day as well.

Papertake Challenge

Well I did say that I would be back today and I am - even though it is rather late.
Just a short post to show you the card I have done for the Papertake Challenge - and here it is.

I have been busy all afternoon trying to make a Valentine Card and have not succeeded yet - will post it on here when I have managed to finish it.
Take Care

Create4Fun Challenge

Hi Everyone,
I am not having much luck with the weather so far this year.
Once a month I go for a pedicure and that is where I have been today. Of course it had to start snowing didn't it and how daft did I look coming out of the beauty salon and walking to the car in my sandals!!!! It always seems to be the same when I go - it is either snowing or raining.

Anyway I have actually managed to make 2 cards so far this week and it is only Wednesday.
Here is my first card which is for the Create4Fun Challenge

I love the stamp, which I have had for a while now but have never gone off it. It is from Funky Kits.
I was really pleased with the card and when I showed it my husband he just looked at it and said "Oh you've done one like that before haven't you?" I said I hadn't but I had used the stamp before. Nothing like making you feel deflated is there?
You will have to wait till tomorrow for my 2nd card.
luv

Friday Sketches meets Magnolia

Just a quick post.
Today has been a lovely but very tiring day - my daughter, Claire, has been up from Retford with my grandaughter, Florence who is so gorgeous I could eat her!!

By the time they left I was very tired and had headache, so I don't know how Claire went on because she had drove up here and had to drive back again.

Anyway here is a card that I have made.

I have used the Friday Sketchers sketch and the theme from the Magnolia Challenge, which is hearts and flowers.
I hope you like the card - if so please leave me a comment or perhaps you might like to become a follower! I am always delighted to receive your comments. Thank you.
luv
eileen
