Martha Stewart..





What a fab deal.. 4 MS punches for £29.00.. I only managed to get one set not the one I wanted but fab all the same.. There is 1 deep border punch, 1 corner punch the border punch to with it punch and a flower punch with 3 stamps to go with it....
When this deal sold out far too early in the day they had to give another good deal so I ordered that too which was 100 sheets of 12x12 bazzil card stock and half of it or a lot of it was Bling card too.. I'm a very happy bunny ;o)
It's on again now on QVC but thought I would do my blog to keep me from ordering more..Lol.
I have also managed to finish some cards that I started a while ago..
I do love the Tilda sitting with her present this has to be one of the best stamps I bought last year.

Ooooh the MS iridescent heart and star glitters is beautiful... I best keep typing...Lol....
I best start saving for the next time they come over to the UK..!
I best leave you some cards to look at....

Just a Quickie...!





Here I have a few cards I finished off in the evening whilst watching the tv.
The papers used with the new magnolia stamp is from a my minds eye stack I bought a few weeks ago. The image of the lady has since had her face coloured.
The card with the "Shy bear" eating cake I love and used some glaze on the jam.... Oh I must go shopping...! I want cake...Lol..
Sorry it's a short post but i'm out all day today....

Man stuff...and more.






Just a quickie before I go to work and them straight to the east coast for the weekend.
I love this card (although i'm not a gun lover) and there is a chap that would love it.. I will knock on the door next week and ask his wife when his birthday is as they live next door to one of my clients and I see him going out and he always wear khaki clothes. They sometimes look in on my client when i'm ill or when we had the 3 weeks of snow and get him anything he needs. His Tv guide is the main thing as he watches tv all day...
I just Love Edwin fishing as you know... these 2 cards are 8x8 in size (I still have loads of these left). the flowers are from craftwork cards and I have had them forever and never used any. I want to get my stamping desk clear so I can get my melting pot out and use them in it.. I love to use buttons too...!
The Mo Manning stamp will be worn out soon and is at my side on my desk at hand always as is Edwin Fishing...Lol.. I use the old couple on my cards lots due to working with a lot of elderly people and makes a good anniversary card as well as birthday cards...
I will be back next week with more creations.. I want to use my melting pot (I bought it a couple of years ago when it was on offer but have only just bought the stuff for it).
Leave some love so I know you called and don't forget the candy above, get your name down and make me laugh.

All Change..




Due to bad weather where my dad is the train drop off has changed so I will have to wait a couple of weeks and go into Brid when I go over to chalet.. I can go to his house now too as I have an address not just a phone number....
We have sun shine so we are still going to York and will go to the Paper Mill Shop and stock up with card...
I have tried to keep my blog candy at the top and will find out if it has worked when I add this. Some how I don't know if it has, I may have miss understood the directions from Nicky.. I keep telling you all how daft I am...Lol..
Just a few cards to show again before my son turns up to go out.. As you can see I love Edwin Fishing... great for "Man" cards...

Moved Out..






I had made my mind up about moving my bed out of my craft room at long last..Lol..
So on friday night the move started and I slept in my old single craft room and made way to put my desks, shelves and stash in place. It is not tidy yet by a long way but I hope by next weekend it will be done.. How long have I been sorting this out...!
Well I have a desk that is clear so i'm slowly finishing some cards off and boxing them up and in the process it is clearing the other desk that I will use just to do my stamping on.
The small cards are just smaller than a 4x4 and fit in lovely metallic box cubes that you can buy from any card shop or gift shop for about 69p. I am filling these to give to family and friend one for their birthday that will be full of Christmas cards and one for Christmas that will be full of general cards. I started this at Christmas and gave them a nice pen and refills too as you can see in the silver boxed present.....
I'm still using scraps up too....
I best show you some photos.. Hope you like them...

A Freash New start...





I'm trying to keep up with things on my blog again after a short spell with far too much to do...
So yes it has been a few day but I hope to be here at least once / twice a week if not more..
The snow has now gone although they say we could have a little more this week and the forecast for February is not good either. It's nearly time to re open the chalet too and have promised myself not to take too much craft stuff with me as it takes longer to load and unload the car some weekends. Maybe if I can get there for a week..Lol.
I have been out and signed up another 10 hours a week of work for me and the girls.. so things are going to get even busier for us this year..

My craft stash is getting bigger too and have just received a My Minds Eye pad of about 180 sheets of 12x12 papers, I am eager to open it up and start to use it... I think I am going to have to be ruthless and get rid of some of my scraps as i'm still trying to use them up and getting nowhere fast ;o(
My friends son likes to craft so he may get a box full soon....
Well I best stop waffling and show a few card... Come back soon and leave some love to show you were here..
I may have to do some candy again soon too.. Just because...!

Fed Up..!




Well I'm still house bound as we have black ice all around us again and just now it has started to snow again...!
I've been finishing a few cards and am making yet another winter warming stew... I dream of salad with nice ripe vine tomatoes....and some fruit and Ice-cream...Lol...
I hope you can see that i'm using all the goodies up from the wonderful RAKs you have all been sending... It's nice to use something different..
I will be back tomorrow as looks bad here for the rest of the week.. My girls went out to do a couple of jobs and ended up coming home (I was so glad as I did not want them to go in the first place, they are only young and getting to realise I'm right in what i'm saying to them) as they were skidding. One of the other team fell on her bum so was not pleased, she did not hurt herself only her pride...!
Take care out there...!
