It's Christmas...


Well It is a christmas card again for me today... You can blame Tabby (I follow her blog daily) and she had a card made with a cute snowman stamp from Pink Gem (here in the UK) last week and I had had my eye on these for a while... even down to putting them in my basket then at the last moment thought.. "No you are on a spending ban"...Lol.. as most of you know that lasted all of 2-3 hours ;o)
Well after seeing her card I just could not stop myself... My fingers have a mind of their own and if the laptop is on my knee well...! I have tried smacking my hand and even just sitting on them but it never works and I don't get much done that way...!
That's enough of my 'Rabbiting' for today...

My card.. I love the colour combo and the image.. Oh and the large snowflake I bought last year but never got around to using them.. A card is not a card any more unless I have added some sort of beading....or charm..
The thing I never seem to be satisfied with is the colour effect of the snow.. I think I just do a little too much..! Never mind I will try again..

Leave me some love and let me know what you think of it...

Friday Night..!



Well.. it's friday evening and there is nothing on the tv to watch so before all the light has gone I thought I would take a couple of photos to add to my blog... I'm not happy with the quality but never mind.. I think a new camera is on the very top of my christmas wish list.. What year I could get one I don't know, but I won't hold my breath...

The swimming Tilda is a little poorly, as when i came to ink her up she only had one full eye the other just a circle..I thought it was just my normal rubbish stamping effort so I tried again... No she looked a bit odd so I had a try at penning in the circle but she just did not look right. The pressure was not the same if you know what I mean... I have never had a problem with any of the magnolia stamps before and i do have a fair few, so I phoned the craft shop and she has told me to return it no problem and out of the 3 others she had left she had another one the same...
Poor old Tilda..... Anyway I just had to make a card with one of the stamped images I made... so I hope you can't see what I can see.... I could make a get well card with the bad image I have left...
The other card (another very Pink one)I'm not so sure about the embellishment and may change it..
Well i'm sory it is a short and sweet post but I will be back to "Rabbit" on a bit over the weekend...Have a great weekend and please call back and leave me some Love..

Photos to go with the last post. !!



Yeah ok there is a limit to how many photos you can add to a blog...
here are the rest ;o)
Please read the "Very Pink" Post..!

Very Pink..






Yes I know you have been missing
me... Lol.. but I'm here now.... I have been busy making my
next door neighbours wedding invitations...and a very very pink door hanger as I enjoyed making the last one and using up a lot of my scrap paper too.
Some of the papers used are from RAKs sent from new friends on PCP..
Have you ever been on there? You can meet some wonderful people from all over the world..
You have to be careful though as you can start talking on the chat line with some very strange people for a good and very funny Hour....!! Lol
Yeah you know who you are ;o) I always end up burning our tea if I'm not careful...
I think she knows i'm joking it happens only once a day...
The answer to the question you asked earlier about the magnolia stamp is on the magnolia group... Enough of the chat..

The wedding invitations were to be very plain and simple (just how I like it).
They were my wedding gift to Claire and James along with some favours, but they will not be done for a while yet.. Yes they will be on my blog when they are done..
They are in Pink too...!

My new door/wall hanging is in every shade of pink you could think of... Last year I was not a lover of PINK..!
I'm not sure if there is a limit to the photos you can add I one go on your blog but I best just pick the best ones or you will still be here looking tomorrow..
I'm sure I rabbit on far too much too.. Please tell me if I do!

Enough said here are the photos or you will never return to my silly little blog...
Please feel free to leave me some love.. it is the only thing these days that costs nothing ;o)

Door Plaque/Hanging...





Well Hello there...
I have had my monday off as usual other than not taking the gentleman out to the bank and shopping as I have had a problem today... I keep having to go to the loo.. That is all i'm saying..Lol...

It is also a sad day today as I have just been told this morning that one of my other clients has passed away.. He was taken very ill last week so I've been helping his wife a little bit more.I'm back there again tomorrow for a few hours.

I'm so behind with lots of things.. I desperately need to get to the post office etc to post some late RAKs.
I have had chance to play a little today and finish off something that I started last week....There is only 1 square to do now...
There is not much more for me to say today.. just to add the photos. I hope to be back tomorrow but if not I promise to be back by thursday...

Finishing off...




I'm getting a bit bored of all this tidying..... I need to craft....
Now you know i'm telling "Porky Pies".. Lol... I have been sorting and throwing bits of itsy bitsy scraps of paper that I just think that I could punch the tiniest flower from....as we do.. even card that has been the backing of that wonderful new gadget that you have just bought (well about 3 years ago in my case!)

I have put the finishing touches onto these 2 cards today and have put verses inside huggings of cards and put them into pollybags now and boxed them in the boxes i got from Ikea yesterday... I have also had a bit of a brainwave (what do you mean Oh No not again).. The shoe storage things that you can buy with velcro fastenings that hang inside your wardrobe to hold about 10 pairs and you can buy the boxes (as I did yesterday) too to fit.... well my 4x4 cards fit in there nice and snug so that is what I intend to buy next week...I was going to just put bits and bobs in the boxes as they are long and thought that the long sizzix die cut borders would live in them....
I should rewrite that but I'm sure you can work it all out....! You know i'm a bit too busy just now..

Here are the cards... I need a cup of tea... See you all tomorrow.

I'm still on my scraps cards today.. and I was going to say no Magnolias either but as you can see I have used the cat and the dog....!!
The other little pooch is from Sugar Nellie and most of you will know that the little truck is from Stamping Up... The little metal frames are from an RAK friend over at Paper Craft Planet..

I'm going to give my neighbour some of these cards as she has sold more cards for me again so it will be a little "Thank You" from me..She is deaf and she takes them to the deaf club...

Well, I came down from playing (and tidying) to have a chat with Marie on Paper Craft Planet but I missed her as I had not been onto my blog so only just got her message to say she would be early ;o( as I came into the room I put on the Tv as I had been watching QVC and thought I will listen to the radio but I must turn it down or Marie would not hear me... ! Mmmmm.
Yeah... it was a little Crazy Senior Citizen moment....! I know I have them all the time..

Time to make tea...!
