I'm sad.....

I stayed at home and am so so miserable now..Lol... Anyone would think I had no stash to play with.. I have been in the bath for a nice long soak have moved some of my stash sround and have made a card.I'm trying to keep busy and pretend that i'm not bothered.. I will set off for the chalet soon so that I'm out of the way. I have even looked at how far it would be from the chalet and if it would be easy enough to get to from Harrogate;o( I don't like to go out of my comfort zone and would have to go round York so am keeping well away as they have a Paper Mill shop nr York..

Any how for my card I have used Basic Greys Lemonade, these are the ones that have been with me far too long and if I don't use them now they will be out of fashion and will jst get saved to look at so have taken the plunge over the last few days and prepared some 8x8 cards with them. I showed you one yesterday.....I sat and sewed some lovely pink pearl beads on last night and came across this image this morning sent to me in an RAK. i'm not sure about the flowers and the leaves again but there is room for the word "sister" or" friend" what ever too if I wanted to or even a name if I was to use it for a nieces birthday...

Well I best get something to eat now and get a few things together to take to the chalet.. Book or craft is my next dilemma....Lol.. What to do next.. A book my sunglasses and a small bottle(Mmmm) of wine oh and those grapes that keep calling my name.. Oh by the way it is official I have now lost a stone and a half ;o) I would love some chocolate and some biscuits but I'm feeling lots better and have more energy so I will leave them alone.. Maybe an Ice cream when I walk along the beach later and think of the money I have saved today.. Hubby finishes work at 6pm so should arrive at the chalet at about 7.30pm.. Have fun see you all later for a cyber chat....!

Decisions Decisions....! Do I or don't I.?

Well I ordered this wonderful High Hopes stamp and some other bits and bobs and it has arrived within 48 hours so i'm well impressed.. Zoe I will be ordering again very very soon...

The cars is made with Basic Greys Lemonade dp and matching bassil card stock.. I think it just needs some more leaves adding made with the bassil card to give it some extra colour..The middle of the flowers are buttons..

I love high hope stamps so i'm glad to have found a UK seller.. i also got the new Cosmo Cricket christmas papers and the new Basic Grey christmas papers too and am looking forward to using them...

Well I'm undecided if i'm going to the great yorkshire paper craft event tomorrow. I'm suposed to be going to our chalet on the east coast for the weekend but also want to go and look for some single copic colours that i would like.. I'm overdrawn at the bank but could use some of the savings but am I that desperate for the copics..Lol.. What to do.. I have nnot sent for my ticket as i have been very busy so will have to pay £5 to get in.. I will also need petorol to get there then to get back and go to chalet.. my brain is puddled ( No change there then)... The last time I did not go my friend came back with loads of bargains, but i'm struggling for space..... Oh Heck..

Come back and see whether I do or do not go... what should i do HELP...! Me....

1,000 hits over night???

I think my hit counter has a mind of it's own as I seem to have had 1,000 overnight?

I will be back tomorrow with some crafting stuff as i'm totaly shattered today and have made nothing Sorry.... If I can get an hour rest I may make something a little later.

What a Mixture...

Hello everyone..

I do hope you all had a great weekend.. I'm sorry i'm a little later than normal but i've been to see the accountant.. ;o( What more can be said..

The cards I have made are christmas and or Digital image cards although the christmas mitten is a stampin up stamp... I made one big card and six small ones and may give them to one of my ladies or give them to one of my oldies to sell for the church roof fund as they always have one or some fundraising to do..

the two "eskimos" as I call them kissing is by Mo Manning and the other 2 I have forgotten who they are by I love and am making a set of six to go into a box as a gift set when the box and everything is ready I will make sure I know who they are by.. I think it's because they are so new to me..

Sorry it's short and sweet but hubby has just sent me a text to say he may come home tomorrow... so I best make sure the bed and everything is clear as it is covered in craft stuff and is stripped as I washed the bedding so needs making...

Leave some love and come over again to see what other stuff I can create..

It's Not a Box...!

Short and sweet today as it's nearly time for work.... I know I normaly blog at tea time but I think we are away today until monday....

I saw a Recipe file on Jacqueline's blog yesterday and it gave me an idea ( I have seen many of theses files before but nothing sprang to mind)...

I wanted something nice to keep my Sugar Nellie stamps in, so whilst watching a couple of soaps last night I came up with this... Oh and I now need a Score Pal to make my next one even better.

The orange card is just basic card stock, the DP is by Basic Grey, the mega eyelet came

with my Big Bite. behind this to fasten the file is a disc of velcro...

Have a great weekend.

Leave some love and come back soon.....

My first Digi Card

I have seen this image by CC Designs around for ages and thought I would give this Digi image thing a go.. although you can buy the stamps from here http://www.7kidscollegefund.com/category_s/355.htm&click=2663

I have tried with many different mediums but have found copics the best, however a friend of mine uses distress inks on her digital downloads.. It may depend on the quality of the ink you have in your printer (mine is the cheepest there is... Times are getting hard..!)...

The best thing about these images is that you can size them to what ever card you are doing, this is a 4x4 card. I'm hoping to sell lots of this size (not this image) as I want to buy a wheelchair for my business as we have just borrowed one from age concern and it is as old as adam and my poor client must have felt every bump in the road....

I have added some flower soft to the wheel barrow and some very fine glitter to her wings although I wish I had not done her wings..

Well it has been my day off today but I have, taken one of my ladies out shopping and then just as I got back I got a call to go have a look at another job so went back out. Whilst I was in the area I called in for a cuppa with my aunt that I have not seen for about 6 weeks ( I used to go weekly but am just getting very busy). So this is the only card today due to having to find a medium that would work for me..and now it is time to start our tea... I promise Not to Burn it again today.. I wish I had a pound for every time I burnt it as I would never have to work again Lol.... Is it just me or do you other crafters get carried away and burn tea or lunch???

The paper I used today was printed from a disc probably 18 months ago! the pink card is just basil card stock the ribbon from my stash...

Leave some love and come back and see me again some time sooooon...
