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.

Well here it comes.... are you ready for my little (who am I trying to kid...!)Mess.
If you believe that then you will believe anything..Lol...
I'm only doing this to make myself have a tidy, it's my day off tomorrow..
yeah I know i've just had a long weekend but...It's just the way it goes ;o)
My Way..! I'm the boss and that's just how I like it.. I will never be made redundant again.
If and when I get tidy in there I will post another picture but please, please don't hold your breath...Lol I would like you all to be here to lve another day and be able to keep looking in. You never know one of these days I will get tidy...
I have found half an hour or so to finish this card off too. There are a few others that need finishing too so maybe tomorrow I will...Oh well lets just see eh.

Hello..!

Hi everyone,
Sorry there is nothing new for me to show you.
I have been away for a long weekend and hope to have
something in the next couple of days..
I hope you have been having some crafting time and enjoying yourself..
I have been thinking of shaming myself into having a mass tidy up in my craft room by posting a few photos but you wouldn't want to go there.. it is a mess and I need to do something soon as i'm losing the will to go in there....! It is scary..
I will think about it soo come back and look sometime soooooon.! You best be sat down if you look though...Lol... or have the doctor on stand by..

Lynn xx

Very Special

Well it's blog time again.. I'm sure I was only here 5 minutes ago.
Hubby has gone to chalet to fix the water heater and is not back until next wednesday ready for his shift next thursday.. I'm going to join him after a very busy day tomorrow until I ave to return next tuesday to do a little job. i'm not taking any craft stuff with me (what am I saying) but am taking a couple of books to read....
I may have to re think that statement and think about it for a while...Lol.!

I've made a very special card today for my grandson who will be 4 two week today..This card will be probably from my son as I like to send a bigger card...
I have the Seasame street cricut cartridge and never used it yet so it could be a card made with something from there from 'grannie Peg'(nick name given to me by my son and hubby due to my bad leg...)
I'm just going to add this picture then I'm going to the fish shop... I'm not cooking just for myself even though I have had a day off today..... I may as well let someone else do the cooking ;o)

I love this image even though he is quite old now..! The paper was sent in an RAK and I have used my whispers pens to colour.
I will be back next wednesday. Have a great weekend everyone..!

I'm still in christmas mode but nothing finished and I think you lot must be getting a bit fed up with them.. so i'm here just to say "Hello" and add another water fight photo from last week just to remind me that it is still summer after all...
I have also just been on Paper Craft Planet and been chatting to my Senior Citizen friend... If ever we had chance to meet up people around us would think we were 'Barmy'!
Marie you do make me smile and I always look forward to our little chats...I can't wait until I get back from my long weekend away.. ;o)

Birthdays and Christmas all in one day!

Happy Birthday today to my new cyber space OAP friend Marie...
Hope you have had a good day sweetie..!
Now I must get on with my blogging.
Again today i've been doing Christmas and some are good some are not.
I just love the Snowman card other than a bit too much red under his arm that is holding the parcel.. don't you agree Bev if you are having a peek?
i'm happy with my colouring as I feel it is getting heaps better, and if ever you have the chance to have a class or even see Bev Rochester at work it's a must..if you have the chance but don't go you must be crazy..She is the best teacher I have ever had.. a no nonsense type of lady, just like me.... ;o)...Lol!
The penguin sat on the igloo was my fav christmas stamp last year but i'm not so sure about this card. It may be the flowers that are just not right!!
The Sugar Nellie Santa is coloured just right (I think so) but again the embelishments let the card down..
The Diamond Dust is a must for your snowflakes too.. go on "Get some" you will not regret it.. Bev recommended it at the Harrogate show in March.
I best stop rambling and add the pictures.. but first I best tell you that i have used distress inks on all of these cards.. Not a Copic in site...!
