Coices, choices... !

Hi,

I was very excited yesterday as I had 2 cards in my door which meant 2 parcels to collect although one is too far away and will be redelivered on Thursday now.

I have been to collect one today and was even more excited as it contained my new magnolias and some more Tim Holtz grungepaper and more of his goodies which means the parcel on Thursday will contain a set of his inks that I got on ebay... Bargain...!

I have had a chance to play with my stamps and have made a card that is on the magnolia group on PCP (i'm not sure about it but it is made now and the wedding card that I have started here but not sure which flowers to use...

I don't think I want an over loaded card just a minimalistic one. I may lok at it again after tea or tomorrow. Which flowers would you use???

I am looking forward to doing more on the project I started to email to magnolia hoping it will get into one of their mags... You will just have to wait and see but it is Big.... My son saw it today and could not believe what he had seen and thought it was beautiful but I think he his bias.... Lol

well I best make tea..

Shrink Plastic

Hi,

I'm watching the tv and they are using shrink plastic which I love to use....

I never use my heat gun though as I tend to use it on a day when I have the oven on ...Lol...!

The cards I have made this week are are mostly made without any stamping other than 1 of them..

I just wanted a change... I have also used my melt pot at long last but I will show pictures of that some time in the week...

my granddaughter is coming along now too and is filling out that much I may not be able to pick her up that much soooon ;o( so i'm making the most of it when ever she is here. I took her to meet her great great aunt this week...

Well i'm missing all the shrink plastic tips so I will leave you to whatever wonderful creations you are making and see you sooooon.

Just for a change..!

I have left my cards for a couple of days and have had a dabble at scrapbooking again...

I have quite a few albums on the go but am never happy with the results, but I keep trying..

These are my two darling grandchildren from Wales.. We will meet up again at some time this year for some more fun and a chance to get more pictures...

The black and white photo page is the one I like best, it does not look as good on the photo... the one thing I wish I had not put on is the white rose in the middle of the flower, I think just a plain pink brad would have been better....

The other two pages I like and have used up some embellishment sent in RAKs..... the more I do the better I hope to get...The white space is ready for some text.

Tomorrow I hope to have a go with my melt pot... It has been waiting for some use for ages (i bought it a few years ago as it had 30% off) I managed get the utee a few months ago..

My desk is getting to the point where I will be able to use it safely...Lol.. I have some flowers that i'm dying to use in it and after seeing the demo on qvc on Tuesday i'm itching to get going with it. I now wish I had bought the small "Cookie Cutters" in the sale in January when I had them in my hands.....

Let me know what you think of my scrapbook pages.

yesterday my hubby told me he had found the pile of odd socks I have in a drawer (the washing machine always eats one..) and said he may as well wear them.... OMG what am I to do with him...Lol..

I will have to add that to my album too.. ;o)

See you again soon.

Just Messing...!

Visitors have just arrived so I best keep it short and sweet.....

I have been finishing off more cards and have even put the verses in them and put some away in boxes...Lol.. I will add some ribbon to the boxes soon and a flower or two ready to give as presents...

We had snow again yesterday and it is forecast again for wed, Thur and Friday too so looks like I may have chance to finish some more off...

Here are the pictures, I got to go as the twins want some of my time too...!

I will be back before the end of the week hopefully..

Sweets for my sweet...

My friend was 40 a few weeks ago. I gave her a lovely box of hand made cards a nice pen and some refills, I also added a Note book to the inside top of the box. She loved them, but she loved the sweets the best. I had thought about adding more embellishment however she is not into crafting like we are and would have moaned about too much stuff on it so I kept it minimalistic (big word for me on a friday..Lol).

I showed my other friend it as the box was from the glasses she had bought for me at christmas along with a big bottle of white and some flowers (they know how to keep the boss sweet).....!

She loved it and she will now try and do something along these lines herself (I know she won't as she does not have a creative bone in her body, she will have the idea and ask me to do it).

She has never seen anyone get so excited over a clear plastic box...

The amount of sweets that box held was unbelievable. I can see a trip to the dentist looming, although my friend has just become a step mum of 4 children...

Hope you get some inspiration from it....

I hope to be back with more soon..

Where am I going...

Do you ever start a card and not know which way it will go and how it will look when you have finished it...Lol..

Most of my cards are like that as I dress the cards with paper first and with the ribbon etc then go back later and do the images and colouring..

The beige coloured card today with the brown spotty organza ribbon is one card that I just had to keep going with as I did not have any sort of plan at all.

Tilda was just an image on her own on a biggish piece of card.. I added the shelf the best i could then realised I could not put anything on it. The tea towel was added but nearly touches the floor so I just added part of the jar for the hell of it. i don't think it is that bad for a miss match card though...lol..I had fun... I've just noticed I need to ground her as she is on thin air..!

Well I best leave you some photos of the cards finished today.. i have about 50 more to finish then I may just do one at a time for a while..

Candy Time... Please scroll down for newer posts..!

I'm here again as I said I would try to do...

I am also doing a surprise Candy too.. This will be drawn on Feb 14th.. It will not have a Valentine theme it is just that I will remember on that date to sort it...Lol..

I will post anywhere so just make yourself a follower so that I can find you and tell everyone about it is all I ask... and make me laugh with a comment..

My stamping desk is still not clear yet but it is getting better. I need to clear it soon as I have loads of new stamps to use or they will be "Old Stamps" before I know it and out of date....

The days are getting longer and the chalet is open next week so hubby will not always be under my feet... Poor thing...!

After loosing contact with my dad (lost his phone number etc) for the last 5-8 years I'm going to York on saturday to meet him with my son and my granddaughter. I hope it keeps fine and there is no rain...

I best leave you with some pictures of what I have been up to... I'm still on with the Magnolia Project but not showing any pictures of that... I only hope I get it finished by the dead line in february.... If anyone out there can sell me some more hours I would be greatfull..
