i can't believe i have made 2 cards tonight having a break might have done me good, really am itching to do so many projects. this card is for my friends son who reaches the age of 16 in august. boys cards are quite difficult especialy teenagers, but this rapping bear is perfect. the sketch is this weeks challenge on sketch saturday. i hope you are all enjoying the weather, only problem is hay fever and having to work!!!!! x

card # 2 is for the challenge on crafts 4 eternity the stamps are from a set called 'sushi bowl' ( i think but i can't remember who makes them!!) i stamped the bowl onto the blue bubble paper, then stamped and cut the fish etc. i then decided i wanted to make it look like glass so i used a double sided sticky sheet and added acitate which again i stamped the bowl onto.phew i hope that makes sense!! off to bed now night night x
yet another really busy day and another late night!!!!! still i managed to get 2 cards done and as fathers day is on sunday i am pleased that i have managed to get them both made. the first card i have combined with 2 challenges, the first being for sketch saturday and the other is allsorts which this week is triangles. the stamp is a house mouse and the papers are from my ever growing collection, ( i can't resist paper). i will be back in a mo with card # 2. x
i am really pleased i have managed to make 2 cards today, this one is for one of the boys at school who i have worked with since yr 7 and i have been his scribe for his gcse's. he wants to go onto college to train as a chef so i thought this would be just right. the sketch is for the the challenge set this week on stamp something blog. the stamp is a cuddly buddly called 'kyle cooks' and the rest is from my stash.
blimey where did that week go? i have been so busy i just haven't got any crafting done and the week ahead doesn't look that great either. i have so many cards to get done though i really must find some time. the first card today is for 2 challenges, the first is for the colour create challenge and the other is friday sketchers. i enjoyed using the colour scheme and the sketch. the stamp is a sugar nellie called 'fingers crossed' the butterflies are magnolia's, everything else is from my stash. i hope you have enjoyed the sunshine this weekend x
hi everyone i hope you are all feeling fit and healthy. i have been examed out again and really can't wait for the 6 weeks hols and just not having to get up and get out by 7.30 will be great. there is a lot going on at school before the break so it is busy all round, makes the weeks go quicker though!!!!!! this card i have combined for 2 challenges, the first is the sketch which has been set for the stampavie and more challenge and it is very versatile and i enjoyed using it a lot, the 2nd is the challenge on colour create which is the colours of the rainbow, and i have tried to use all the colours and the song has been buzzing around in my head all day!!! i have used a sugar nellie stamp called 'postbox'. i have put a piece of blue card through my big shot in a cuttlebug embossing folder, shrunk the postage stamp sentiment and used paper and flowers from my stash of goodies. have a good week and thanks for stooping by x
i have quite a few cards to make for a friend and then i have the rest of the wedding order to complete so i had better get busy this week!!!!! no housework will get done and the boys will be eating quick meals!!! card number 2 is for the challenge on papertake weekly a sketch by dawny. the stamp is one i have had for a while but never used and the papers are from basic grey. i just want to say sorry for not getting round your blogs for a while just haven't had any time but i will try this week to be a better buddie.....
where has the weekend gone???? i have not been near my craft stuff until about 10 mins ago, we have had george and sophie and friday i was unwell so nothing has been made and tomorrow i am back to work. fortunately i had made these 2 cards thursday. the first is for the challenge on spoonfull of sugar which this week is a sketch. the stamp is a jaonna sheen messy rabbit and the papers and buttons are from my stash. i have lots to get done this week, so i had better get on. hope you had a lovely weekend x
my poor kids had their french exam today and blimey was it hard!!!!!! if they say that gcse's have got easier this year they are very, very wrong, lets hope that they all did well. i love and hate this time of year at school all the yr 11's that i have been with since they came up to senior school leave and i really miss them. most keep in touch though so i will know what they are getting up to. (not always a good thing). my first card tonight (and it might be my only one) is for the challenge on the creative inspirations blog and the theme this week is brown and blue, i really like this colour combo. the stamp is from sugar nellie and she is called 'pen pal', the papers are from basic grey, the flowers, and ribbon are from my stash. the ticket stamp is from an autumn leaves set called 'ticketed' from the hobby house. i hope the weather brightens up i would love another bbq this weekend. x
i hope you are all well and enjoying the weather, shame i am at work i could sit in the garden all day and craft!!!!! my first card today is another combined challenge the first is for crafts 4 eternity (sketch + lilac and purple) and the cupcake craft challenge (fairies). the stamp is from charmed delectables called 'angel annie' ( i know she is an angel but i am sure i can get away with her she is so cute) the paper is from craft creations. i had better go and do the boys their dinner as they will both be home from work soon. (hungry!!!!!) see you later x
i am combining this card with 3 challenges. the first is the colour scheme set on the secret crafter(pink, turquoise and hint of brown)penny black(sketch) and allsorts challenge(curly swirly). the stamp is from a t for transparent set called 'critter party' from the glitter pot, i think the paper is very pretty and has just the right shades for the colour scheme, the flowers and ribbon are from my stash. i stamped the sentiment onto shrink plastic and it has shrunk brilliantly. ( my success rate with shrink is hit and miss!!!!!) i love this card hope you do too. thanks for dropping by x
what a lovely cay it's just a shame i had to go to school. the kids were really agitated as they wanted to be out in the lovely sunshine plus the classrooms all have big glass windows and it is just too hot in them! i have two cards tonight the first is for this weeks sketch on unscripted sketches and the theme i have chosen fits in nicely with the weather. the flipflop paper and stamp are from imaginisce once again i have used the whitewash cardstock which i am loving, not sure where i got the bag from i found it amongst some bits that were forgotten about. x
