I got to play... It has been far too warm to decorate
anyway, don't you agree.....I knew you would. Lol..!
A woman of my way of thinking!!!
So The pink stripy card I don't like at all, but the strawberry card I do. The only thing wrong with it though is I know I have some strawberry charms..Somewhere ;o) if you know what I mean...I should sort things out.. maybe tomorrow.!!
What do you say??next time I use the strawberry stamp I may just decoupage it to give it some depth..

This is all I have managed to make today....
The papers are from My Minds Eye and I have used my copics to colour...
My charms are always from The Hobby House here in the uk...
Sorry that the photo is not as good as it should be!
Tomorrow it is either decorate the front room or play, so if there is a card or two on here tomorrow at this sort of time 7pm UK time it means I got to play.... If there is nothing, decorating won the day..... and I may get some time to play on sunday...
I was like a 'drowned' rat when I got home today but now the sun is back out to play and is supposed to stay around all weekend.. Yeah!!!

Hope you like the card and hope that you will call by again soooon...!

I have had such a busy day today even though it was my day off...
I was so excited that the postman had delivered me the new summer Magnolia kit and wanted to play... but the phone has not stopped and then the twins (3 year old grandchildren) came to play and my hubby thought it would be fun to play with the garden hose with them... We have not laughed so much for ages (I do every night when I get undressed for bed... Lol). Then the twins found a snail to play with ;o(
Now it's nearly time for bed I get the chance to play a little..
So here is a couple of photos of my day off..
I will get a better chance over the weekend.......

It's now nearly 12 or since I woke up and am tiring fast.I have managed to finish another few of cards. The "Gis a kiss" card is made using card stock that was given to me by a friend of mine and the DP paper was sent to me in an RAK from my wonderful swedish friend Mia as is the dp and images on the other 2 cards. I love the image from the Get Well card it is so so cute and was great to colour too... The RAK from Mia came on a morning that I was going away for the weekend and did not intend to take much in the way of craft stuff (honest>>!) but took the RAK with me and dropped my Lock & Lock storage full of stamps off at my friends and she gave me a bag full of card... so yes I started these cards then. I'm glad I've got around to finishing them though... By don't I ramble on ......!

What do we do best when we can't sleep... Yeah you got it...!
I was wide awake at 4.30am this morning so had a cup of tea with my man before he left for work and then went up to play...1
I had put the orange and basic grey back ground papers on weeks ago and was undecided how to finish it off, I must have had a bit of a foggy brain as I managed to finish it off..
My old work friend from when I had a proper job leaves on friday so I bought her an address book and a pen and have made half a dozen cards to go in a little bag that was sent to me in an RAK from PCP... The small leaving/ birthday card I have made reminds me of the good old days when we worked together and put the work place to rights... Lol.. We had loads of fun and nearly 6 years down the line I still miss the place so baddly (I got made redundant)..
Well I best get ready for work although I could do with an hour in bed now...!
I only have a short day today so may post again later today.

CD Holder



Sorry I've not been around for a couple of day but I've been a little bit busy, although I have made another CD holder...to hold the discs of my new grandchild that is due in november
This may even turn into a Birthday book as my small 4x4 Cards will fit inside. It has so many different uses. I already have a few in use for discs so to use it for something different would be great..
The inside pages are just made from an A4 piece of card stock laid horizontally then
scored at the depth of your choice (mine about a third of the way down then is folded turned to portrait and folded in half.
What ever your dimensions add a couple of mm all way around and this will be your cover size. I used mount board for my cover as it is thicker than cardboard.
I'm sorry about measurement as I never measure anything but do it by eye. I'm lucky that my hubby still works at the printers where I was his boss and he gets me stuff like mount board cut if and when I need it, again with out measurements ( Jimmy bless him is a god send and has just become a dad for the first time) I just sent a piece of the card folded and said I need it cut to that size with a couple of mm extra. I ended up last time with a box full of this same size mount board so just do different books & albums. Well I think this is enough gobbldy gook from me today. Just have fun and play all day...!

Christmas



Well i've not done much today, although I did have to call into the craft shop.... Hey my friend that works there has just returned from holiday so it was a must that I call in and say Hello...! That is my story and i'm sticking to it.. My purse was a little lighter though when I came out.! Lol..
The christmas card is made using an image that a Paper Craft Planet friend sent me last week. The second card was made using an old stamp that was stored away and not been used for quite a while, At his feet I have used flower soft...!
Tomorrow I may have to stamp some images of other stamps that time has forgotten....!

I will be back tomorrow if I've had chance to play...!
