Scraps Only...

Well I'm sorry but I did not manage to do any more of the new nellies but I may get some done tomorrow.....
I have been on another tidy up mission.. although I have still
been playing but ( there's always a but).. only with any scraps of paper from my ever growing mountain on the floor at the side of my bed.... I'm always playing in bed...
Now now then, keep it clean ladies...!
My hubby is on a mission to decorate ASAP as he is fed up with my MESS ;o(
I have no idea what he means ;o)

I have not even used a Magnolia on these cards and I have used my 4x4 envelopes that i bought especially for smaller cards to use up my bits of scrap paper.. I hate waste, It must be due to being one of Seven children and my mum hated waste....

So these are my creations for today...
Sorry it is short and sweet but i'm in the middle of burning our tea....

Marie, I do not have a clue what went on with our chat.. I could see no text at all until the last minute when you said you would be there tomorrow.. I will be there same time.. XX

New Sugar...

I was one of the very lucky ladies to buy the new Sugar Nellies home grown stamps last week, although with decorating over the last 2 days I have only just managed to make a card... I have used my Sekura pens today.. I've not used them for a while..
These little beauties sold out with in about 48 hours.. There are 4 of them and have managed to put them all onto card but need to make some more up so I only have one card for you tonight...
I will make up for it though in the next couple of days....
Hubby says we are decorating my craft room without having it plastered so it could be done next week... Where am I going to put all that lovely stash...Lol.. I know where hubby would like to put it.. but it would have to be over my dead body.. he reckons even that cold be arranged ;o(
So if you don't hear from me in a while please send the cops around looking under the patio here or at the chalet...

Hope you come back for more of my waffle sooooon....

Well here I am as promised yesterday with piccies of the long lost stamp...Lol..!
Yeah.. i'm early but we have to decorate today as hubby is off work until thursday morning and I only need to nip out to take someone shopping in the next hour, so I need to hide my laptop away (I may just take it upstairs so that I can have a bit of a 'Hop' tonight).

I have made 2 cards (no I don't sleep) using the same papers as they are fabby papers bought from The Hobby House. (The post man has just been too with my new Sugar Nellies of the Home Grown style... ;o))

Hubby just asked when we finish decorating the room do I want the furniture putting back in the same place etc... I say my furniture moving days are over but if he wants the sofa and tv etc in a different place I don't mind.. We used to have a Taxi business until we grew up and got proper jobs...He used to come home in the early hours some nights and I had moved the bed so he always ended up stubbing his toes.. ;o)

i'm just putting off add the sweetest images.. One is from the new Magnolia Summer kit and the other is a long lost never been used sweetie...!
I hope to be back tomorrow if he has not sealed my laptop shut as he is sat tapping his feet....! As always..

Bye....
I'm back just to tell you I had taken piccies but not cropped them.. now that that is done I can add them... Have I told you that I have found the sweetest stamp... I best go......

Well it's just a little blog today (she says..).
As you know (that's if there is anyone out there..!)I hate to tidy
my craft room as I just don't have the time or inclination to do so..
I always say I know where everything is when it's a mess (other than, my half a dozen or so Poky tools that i've had to buy and the odd packet of brads.. you get what i'm saying.. Lol..!)
Well i'm smiling very broadly now as;

A. I have found that I do have a carpet, although it is or was peppered with squashed brads, gems, tiny flowers etc.

B.My desk is clear ( should I say it's getting there.)so I am now richer to the tune of 35p. Don't even ask.....!

C. There is a place for everything and everything is nearly in it's place ;o)

D I have found the one thing lost for some time now and I'm over the moon
I have found the cutest rubber stamp that has never been used and it has driven me to despair that I knew I had it but was nowhere to be found...

But i'm not going to tell you who she is... You will just have to come back tomorrow to see.......!

I'm gong back now to see what other treasures there are hidden in what I call my craft room.. This cleaning lark can be so much fun... Not...

See you tomorrow, well I would love to SEE you but it's just a thing that sits on my knee and it talks to me sometimes ;o)

It's the best part of the day when I get on to my blog and have a good old chat to the computer hoping that there is someone out there that will read it and have a laugh or leave me some love....!

I can see the carpet in my craft room today..Lol.. I have been playing but tried using my desk rule..! I can only make a card or finish a card using things that are laying around on my desk.. So half a dozen cards later (and more) my desk was getting clearer.. I was fed up with tripping over boxes so I picked them up and put them away. I even made room for my 12x12 boxes of stamps to go into the wardrobe with the others already there, however my son's dress suit will be a bit creased unless he takes it with him in the next hour when he calls..! If he does that then the other half a dozen 12x12 boxes with my 12x12 paper that is in my hubbies room, can also go into the wardrobe and I will have a happy Hubby.. ;o)

On paper craft planet I have a few of the ladies showing pictures of their craft rooms you should go and have a look on the RAK group.. They all put me to shame...Lol... but what do I care as long as I know where everything is...Mmmmmm!

Well I best show you a couple of finished cards and stop waffling on....
The Blue card was made with scraps of paper lying around and a little bit of red that I had been using on christmas cards last week. The image was sent o me by one of the RAK girls..

The Red card was started ages ago with the flower charm and frame already attached to the card. I love the frame and this was cut on my cricut but I was not sure what to put in the middle of it..so the image I used came from the same RAK friend, then I just needed to add the lettering and the Candy dots that I get from CraftWork Cards down the road in Leeds.
Hope you like them.....
I will be back very sooooon maybe tomorrow but definitely on monday that's if I get time to play.. Lol.. and you know I will..!

So Special..

Well what a daft post it was that I did yesterday..Lol...!
It's a good job you all know me well enough by now to know that I'm totally "Barmy"..!

The paper I was not sure of is the new Lemonade paper by Basic Grey..!
As you must know as i'm on here my craft room has been in use today...
The paper I know is by My Minds Eye.. the fab images was sent to me by Norma one of my new friends on Paper Craft Planet, we did an image swap..
Yeah... I got my McGill paper punch too as you can see with the leaves i've used, again I have made some "scrunch" flowers embelished with some more of the wonderful buttons bought on the East coast of the UK...and the charms from The Hobby House...
Sorry about the interruption... My friends have just been so i'm a
bit fazed, where was I?
Oh yes doing my blog..;o)

I had to place the flower on the right down there as I had done a "Happy Accident" by dropping my brush so there was an extra brush mark to the side of his leg...
I was not sure whether to make it into a Birthday card or an Anniversary card so just added Totally Special to the front.
I think I like this card, as over the last few days I've notbeen sure about the others made.
My friends liked it too.. they also brought me a bag of dirty dusters and cloths to wash which was nice of them...! Ok they were my 2 fantastic full time staff Clare and Sharon but still my mates which is how they became my staff they wanted to do it.. How great is that.. We laugh more than ever now and our elderly clients join in too..
I will have to ask if I can put their photo on here soon as I was asked last week if i would only because I mentioned they now have their uniforms.. (it looks better).
I best go and clean a little bit.. Well an hour will do the trick, but then again it gets dark so early now so may do it later. That is my excuse for today ;o0
Hope you like it...!

Thanks to Barbara on PCP (Paper craft Planet) I didn't have to tidy my room..Lol..
She is my saviour for the day, I live another day to craft and not to tidy.... I clean for a living so if I can get away with not cleaning my craft room then I will just play. As you all know the more stash you use the less stash there is to tidy so that is my way of thinking for today, I wonder what excuse I will have tomorrow...! Yeah you will have to come back and see....
Now what have I been doing then with my free time;;
Shopping, Washing, and PLAYING...
My cards are all made with something iv'e not tried before.
The Pale Pink card is made from material, I bought this from The Hobby House here in the UK and used my sewing machine to sew it onto a piece of white card smaller than my 8x8 and added the 3 smaller squares... I did not have a clue what I was doing just messing about..! as you do when your mind goes blank. I need to fray the smaller squares a little bit and add a quote somewhere too.
The Green card I love and wanted to try and make some flowers that were scrunched up so I cut them out on my cricut with the Walk in the Garden cartridge.. How many time have I been tempted to sell this one as I don't use it that often. I do not have any of the spray glimmer mist thingys so used my rub on metallic lustre stuff...! I hope you all know what I mean as I forget the proper names of some stash...! The leaves are beautiful velvety and by prima. The buttons in the middle of my flowers are from my wonderful new friend Maggie on the East coast of the Uk in the market..
The last card is done with lots of new paper and I will have to let you know who they are by as my mind has done a runner for the moment......something "The Hill" or Cherry something.. I think.. by i'm rubbush at this.....;o(
You all know the image is from the new magnolia summer kit and the was coloured with my whispers pens again..
I'm now very late putting our tea on and hubby will be home sooooon.
Hope to see you all tomorrow for another bit of rubbish blogging.
