Whiff of Joy Challenge

I bet "Our Kath" is really disappointed with me.
It was her birthday on Saturday and I haven't even wished her a Happy Birthday on my Blog.
Of course I went down to see her on her birthday but I have just not mentioned it on here - I don't know where the time goes.

I will just tell you though that Kath retires today so she will have plenty of time for crafting now! Happy Retirement Kath, you deserve it.
I did make a joke on Saturday that she will be retiring Wednesday and getting divorced the Wednesday after! (her husband is still at home after his stroke so by the time they have had a full week together, who knows?) Only kidding really.

Back to this weeks Whiff of Joy Challenge and it is my final week as Guest Designer. Thank you for the opportunity to take part in your design team, I have really enjoyed it. Here is my card

The papers I have used are from The Hobby House and are by Black Market Paper Society. I have coloured the image with Copics.

Thank you for looking.

Unscripted Sketches

Don't you just hate those days where you know just what you want to get done but then the day goes by and you haven't got anything done that you wanted to. Well today is one of those days!

Anyway I am looking forward to going out for my tea tonight - if David hasn't changed his mind when he gets home.

Itsabrt left a comment on my blog and suggested I took part in Unscripted Sketches Saturday Challenge and whilst looking at Itsabrt's blog I found this fantastic Blog Candy on Debbie's Blog -so I will attempt to put a link to it. I would so like to win it.

Here is the card I have made for the Unscripted Sketches Challenge, the only thing is that I have a full set of Pro Markers but none of them matched the pink on the paper so today I have had to nip and buy a couple of Copic Markers and they do match.

If anyone has any tips on using Copic Markers please email me with a bit of tuition. Thank you.

Thanks for stopping by

Whiff of Joy Challenge

I haven't had much chance for making cards really this last couple of days.

I went to my daughter's yesterday for most of the day and my grand-daughter, Florence, was an absolute delight.
She is 1 year and 8 months old and she sings her version of Baa Baa Black Sheep (with actions) and seems to understand so much of what people say to her. She kept wanting me to pick her up or play with her, which was absolutely brilliant. She was so entertaining.

Anyway to move on to cards - here is my card for the Whiff of Joy challenge, which was to use black & white and one more colour.


Sorry that the lighting on the photo is not too good.
If you are passing by, please leave me a comment as I love to hear from anyone and everyone.
thanks a lot

Cupcake Craft Challenges

What a lovely day it is today - a beautiful sunny day, but actually quite cold out.

Just time to post this card before I get off to the rugby - David is playing today so I will go and cheer him on.

We have quite a busy weekend coming up. My daughter and her husband and my grand-daughter, Florence, are coming up and staying overnight!!! It will be the first time Florence has stayed so I think I will be quite tired by tomorrow.

Then tomorrow my son and daughter-in-law are coming up. We will be picking my step daughter up and taking her shopping to get something for her birthday - which is tomorrow - and then we are all going out for Sunday lunch (but it will be about 2pm). Will need to have a good rest on Monday to get over the weekend.

Also tomorrow it will be 2 years since we had to have our Bess put to sleep - I still miss her!

Anyway here is the card for the Cupcake Challenge.

And here is Lauren's Birthday card - it is more or less the same as the Mojo Monday one.

I will have to dash now or I will be late for rugby.

luv
