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.

Stamp Something Challenge

Back at last!!

It seems ages since I posted a card on my blog - life has just been so hectic. As I have said before, I just don't know where you all find the time to make such fantastic and fancy cards, especially when some of you have young families.

Anyway here is my card for the Stamp Something Challenge.

The papers I have used are from Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses range and the stamp is from Funky Kits.

I love this stamp but don't think I have coloured it too well.

I will be back tomorrow with another card.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge

On Sunday I was in the middle of making two cards for challenges when a neighbour came round and asked if I could make a card for her "Auntie Carol, who is 65 and likes Crown Green Bowling"!!!! I don't know about you but I hate it when people ask me for something like that. I think it is really stressful.
I am trying out a card but it won't have anything to do with Crown Green Bowling on it.

Anyway I have finished my card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge - and here it is.




Hope you like it!
Must dash - we are going out for tea to a friend's house - they are making pie and peas which, unfortunately, will not go down very well with my diet!!

Papertake Challenge

Just a quick post before I dash off for my photography course - hope it is better than last week!!

This is a card that I have done for The Papertake Challenge.

The papers I have used are (I think) from The Hobby House - I got them at Harrogate.

The image is, of course, a very popular one from Funky Kits.

Must dash now, thank you for looking.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge

Today is my husband's birthday - I won't tell you how old he is!!

I have made him one or two little things for his birthday but I won't show you them till later in the week.

Yesterday my niece called round with her two boys - Ethan & Austin - and Austin walked a step from the coffee table to the settee - he isn't 10 months old yet!! I think he is going to be a right little monkey.

I have made a card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge - I started it last week and thought I would get in early with it (for a change) but then I never got round to doing the image until yesterday.

Anyway here it is

The paper is from the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection and the stamp is from Funky Kits.

Please feel free to leave a comment - I love to hear from anyone who stops by to look at my blog

thank you

Sketch and Stash Challenge.

Well I am back from this morning's photography class. Another waste of time. Why is it that I book these classes only to be disappointed? It was supposed to be about getting more out of your camera but all we did was mess about on the computer.
I walked down there and then went to Tesco and walked back - the journey back took me nearly an hour and a half. My feet hurt that much I could have cried. I was so relieved to get home. I didn't get any sympathy from my husband he just said that I was soft and it served me right for walking back. I don't know what is the matter with my feet but sometimes they are very painful. I suppose it is old age!!!

Never mind. On to my card which is for the Sketch and Stash Challenge


I have used my new stamp from Funky Kits and the paper is by Basic Grey.
I am going to give the card to my husband's niece - it is her birthday on the 19th, the day after Andrew's birthday (Andrew is her dad).
Next week is my husbands birthday so I will have to get cracking with that.
must dash, lots to do.

Sugar Bowl Challenge

I wish I could be much more organised like everyone else seems to be and get my entries done well in advance. The trouble is I have so many other things that I want to do as well.

Once again I am just entering this challenge at the last minute, so I will make it brief.

Here is my card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge - I have not entered this one before.

I know it is very much like my last one but the sketch is different.

Hope you like it. Sorry the photo is not so good but couldn't get the lighting right. I am hopeless!!

Back soon

luv
