Stamp with Fun Challenge

Back again - for the last time today.

I have been out in the garden all day today (gardening, not sunbathing) and I have caught the sun on my face somehow.

I went down to Kath's to have a look at her baby birds on the tele and they have now got all their feathers and look quite big. Sadly one of them has died and there is another one that is only small so I don't know whether it will survive or not. They are lovely.

Here is my card for the Stamp with fun Challenge - I hope you like it.

I hope you notice, Julie, that the Stampin Up punches have had quite a bit of use.

Sketch & Stash Challenge

Oooh it has been a full week since I last blogged - I don't know where the time has gone.

I went to a class last Saturday with Maddy to learn how to use the copics properly - I am still practising!! I find it so hard - is it me or does anyone else have a problem with them? I met Calvin Mouse who was enjoying himself amidst all the bundles of ribbon that Bea had brought with her - I bought loads of it, it was such good value.

I am going to the Hobby House tomorrow for a class with Bev, who makes such fabulous cards.

Here is a card that I have made for the Sketch & Stash Challenge.

hope you like it - back shortly.

Sketch Saturday Challenge

Hi there.

I have had a walk down to our Kath's today to have a look at her baby blue tits on the television. They are so gorgeous. It was lovely watching the mum and dad going in and out of the box feeding them.

She had been looking at my blog and said she did not like the magnolia stamp I had used because it looked like a pregnant angel - I suppose it does a bit.

Well here is my card for Sketch Saturday - using one of the Gorjuss girls, I really like this one - hope you do to.

I am looking forward to going to a class tomorrow on how to use the Copic Markers.

See you soon.

luv

Just Magnolia challenge

Back again with a card which is just about in time for tomorrow's Just Magnolia challenge.

I don't really know whether I like it or not please let me know what you think.

Here it is

A while ago I visited a few blogs where people had done cards with blue backing paper which were digital downloads. I really liked them but have not been able to find the paper they used. Anyway I found this blue in my stash and also the blue that I have used on the next card which is for the Mojo Monday challenge.

I really liked this one.

thank you for looking

Papertake Challenge

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for taking the time to stop by and have a browse at my blog.

I went into the hut this morning and the bird had disappeared from it's "nest" - that meant it could be anywhere in the hut!!

I virtually had to empty everything out of there because it kept flitting from one place to another - hiding behind anything it could find.

Well I have set it free - it's foot does not seem to be so bad and it can flutter a bit but I don't know really whether it can actually fly or not.

When I came inside it was still hiding in the garden and I did hear it cheap which sounded a bit baby-ish so I think it is a young one. I just hope it will be OK.

Back to cards and here is my card for the Papertake Challenge.

I thought it was rather a nice sketch to do - thank you Dawny P.

hope you like it.

luv

Cupcake Craft Challenges

Oh No!! I had really looked forward to doing lots of cardmaking today - my husband is away overnight so I thought I would have all the time I wanted to do my cards. I haven't made one yet!

The horrible cat over the road was in my neighbour's garden and when I opened the door to see what he was doing he picked up a bird and ran off with it. I went out the front door and across to his house and shouted at him and the bird flew (well kind of fluttered) under a bush. I managed to pick it up whilst the cat made all sorts of noises at me, and I brought the bird home. But then - what do I do with it? Nobody seems to have any suggestions except put it in a tree somewhere. Well I have put it in a bowl in the hut and I will keep it there over night now and see if it is still alive in the morning. I know that it has damaged it's foot but I do not know whether it can fly or not.


The next time I see that cat I will turn the hose pipe on it. Horrid thing!! It is not the first time I have had to rescue a bird from it either.



Anyway enough moaning now - back to cards - and here is my card for the Cupcake Craft Challenge.
I have used one of my new Stampin Up punches that I got from Julie yesterday.

well that's all for now, time to de-stress.
luv eileen
