Just Messing......

I'm back... Nearly 100% but not quite... As it is the weekend I may get the proper rest needed to get to 100% I have had a funny 2 weeks of cold/flu as I have had to drive my girls to work and wait outside so I don't pass my germs on so have had to sit in the car and wait.... so not the best way to get better but my other girl is back on tuesday from Turkey where she has been with my sister and everything should get back to normal.... Mmmmm

As Shaz has been away in the sun she may end up full of cold in the next couple of weeks too....

Never mind it will soon be Christmas...!

I have had a good play today colouring cards in and getting ready for a sale that I may do mid November (unless i'm baby sitting) ;o)

Shaz sister in law had her baby yesterday a little boy, who is early and was due same day as my sons baby. he is doing fine and is in intensive care next to another friend of our baby that also arrived early. He weighed in at 5lb something and is 2lb heavier than the other little one. it's all happening here and they say things happen in threes so i'm on edge just now..

Right back to the cards...Lol... The New Home card I love and it is made with amn image sent in an RAK.. The paper is from the My Mind Eye stack ( I think) as is the blue card from the other day that I could not remember.... The flowers are by Primas ans the brads and everything else is from my never ending stash...

The Orange card is made with paper from an RAK as arethe tiny flowers at the bottom of the card, the bigger flowers are from my stash..

The "Men" cards are made with paper from Craftwork Cards here in Leeds.. The silver flowers are made from empty "Tonic" cans (as in Gin and Tonic) and were sent in an RAK from my Senior Citizen friend Marie over in Canada..( She did not send me any Gin though.. she drank that all herself... how mean.. hic!). You can see with the close up picture that the colour of the underneath of the flower is reflected in the paper...!!

come back soon and see what i'm going to rabbit on about......

Worst Photo Ever

Just a quick posting today, just to let you know i'm still here..

The card today is using a digi image by Mo Manning. I had to remove my last post with a picture of one of her images as there was no water mark on it. Mo has already had problems with her wonderful images being sold on by people who did not have permission to do so. it was a mistake I had made and asked if it needed to be removed and I did so straight away.. The photo today is not fantastic but I had to make a card to show you one of her beautiful images. If you have not already seen her work you have to...... Mo has stamps coming out soon too. I'm saving already to buy some as soon as they are out... She has a group on PCP and it has already gone over the 400 members mark.......

Leave some love and tell me what you think...

I still have a touch of flu but hope to be back on track soooon..

Card Day...

I made a few cards yesterday on World Card Day although too many to show you all at once so I may keep some for a rainy day....

The sailor boy is a stamp that I bought from Bunny Zoe Crafts a few weeks ago. I had dressed the card and had not found the right image to go with it until now.... I don't even remember the paper I have used. It's not very often I use peel offs any more but as I have that many of them I thought I best use them.... I wanted to keep the card simple and not go over the top as I usually do..Lol...! I'm adding a close up of the flowers to show that I have screwwed them up and then opened them out and added a bit of bling...

I hope you like him as much as I do... I'm not sure which other card to show you so can't say much about it... I will choose when I get to add my photo..

Dinner is nearly ready so I'm going to sort it before it burns for a change..!

Leave some love and call again soooooon...

Someone to make my tea..!

After a bit of sleep some pain killers I'm feeling a little better, although it's a good job I'm typing and not talking as my sore throat would not last long ( what do you mean you're glad i'm not talking... cheeky!). I thought I would finish a card to show you...

the papers are Lemonade by Basic Grey and am just about at the end of them. I may have enough to make some small cards.. The image was sent in an RAK and is one of a few I'm reluctant to use as when they have gone they are gone..Lol.. what are we like with these H&S images we treat them as if they were worth millions.... ;o) They probably are...to anyone not living in Sweden.. I have used my Sekura glitter pens on them as you can see, although the photo looks more glittery than it really is..

The nice big flowers and the charm are from The Hobby House.. The ribbon is from my mega stash from Craft Zone the button i'm not 100% sure where they were from..

Well I'm making some soup for my tea as everything I have eaten this week I have not tasted much so just want soup although it will be from a tin I do love to make my own vegetable soup all through the winter months.. I best show you the card and leave you in peace... Leave me lots and lots of love...

Always make Time for Tea..!

There IS always time in the day for a nice cup of tea.. In a nice china cup...Lol.. just ask my hubby (although he prefers a mug)..

It's short and sweet today as i'm taking an elderly lady to the doctors in the next 20 minutes.

The papers are again by Brenda Pinnick. The buttons are from my lovely new friend on the market on the east coast of the UK. The ribbon is from Craft Zone in Pontefract where I bought about £40 in one day...Lol hope him indoors never reads this...!

The flowers are from The Hobby House... Leave me some mega love.. I may have a small RAK candy again sooooon. I will see if I have enough stash...Forgot to say I coloured in with my Sakura gel pens..

Love these Flowers...

Hi there I just had to have a go at these wonderful flowers that I saw on Tabby Craft Designs blog, She's down there amongst the blogs I follow.. Yeah down there in my side bar..! There is also a link to see some others too.. I will have to go through my tub and re do all the flowers in there now. Thanks Tabby for sharing this with us..

I adore this stamp and could use it all the time but thought you would all get bored and never come and say Hello again..Lol.. So I have to use others too....

The papers again are MME I think... from a stack I bought last year but just love it.. I only ever buy Basic Grey or MME at the best of times so it must be.... You know my memory is rubbish.. Now what was I going to say..... Oh yes I have posted loads of RAKs , birthday cards and friendship pages today the poor postman will get a shock when he collects because it was a tiny village PO that I used and they are not used to so much stuff in one day...

The ribbon is the stuff with wire along each edge and I have had it for a year and only just getting around to using it.. I keep saying I am not going to buy anything else for a while but I'm just too weak and keep giving in..Lol how many times have you said and done the same thing???

Leave some love and tell me the tale and share your excuses...If you dare tell all..

I may not be back tomorrow as I'm going away for a long weekend so if i'm not I will see you all on Monday ish....
