Busy Day.

Gosh I am so busy today but don't feel like I have done much. Do you ever get the feeling you are just going round in circles???? I have made 2 of the things I had to make and thought I would let you see them as I feel quite proud of them. Hope you like them too.

This one is for my Aunt and Uncle, they always bring the boys a gift so I feel like I should return the favour. I know its not much but its the thought that counts. I used Brenda Pinnick papers to make the card. Had to test one of the sweets and they are lovely. LOL

Then this is for Alan's niece, Emily is quite a girly girl so hope she likes this door hanger. I used my favourite stamp of the moment and coloured it in with my watercolour pencils. I added gems to the centre of the flowers and used stickers I have had for ages to do the name. You can't see it here but I have gone round it with a silver ink pad so the edges are coloured too.

Gosh this is meant to be the shortest day of the year but I feel like it is dragging. Can't go out with the boys as we might get blown away as the wind is very strong today. It is a shame as it is such a sunny day it would have been good to go down to the beach.

Friday Sketchers.

Hello, Yes I am still here!!! Have just made a couple of cards for some challenges. I am busy scuttering about as I don't feel like I am getting anywhere fast with the tidying up. So many cards and bits and bobs to tidy up. Argh.

Anyway onto the card. The sketch this week over on The Friday Sketchers was by Jacqueline from the Netherlands. I used a 5x5 card and have used Brenda Pinnack papers and chipboard embellishments for the image. The Good Luck is a Dawn Bibby peel off. The 7 gems are from my stash. I hope you like it, I'm loving the colours as they are nice and fresh for spring. Have a look on the Friday Sketchers Blog to see the lovely design team cards.

Well better post the other card then onto more organisation of the dreaded C word.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.

This week on The Secret Crafter Challenge is a sketch by Donna. The DT cards are great as ever.

I have used another new stamp. This one is a Sarah Kay stamp. I have coloured her in again with my watercolour pencils. The background papers are all HOTP Christmas ones, I liked them though and thought they looked nice and bright. I used 3 gem flowers from my stash and also a peel off from it too.

The card is for my Mums birthday which is on the 30Th December so as well as buying Christmas gifts I need to remember to get her a birthday one too. Well off to deliver some Christmas cards this afternoon, Love

2 Challenges in 1 Card.

Well I don't usually do this but with so many other things going on I have merged 2 challenges into 1 Card. They are the Secret Crafter, http://thesecretcraftersaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/

Dry or Heat Embossing

and Stamp Something,

http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/

This week's challenge is simple....stamp something with snow. It can be something made of snow, something that likes snow or something that reminds you of snow. Anything really that's more fun that shoveling snow!!

So I have a Christmas Tree which always makes me think of winter and snow. The heat embossing is on the tinsel and the star.

I have to say that I am totally rubbish at embossing heat and dry and the dry embossed card I made went in the bin!!!!!! I didn't know what to do so then decided to have some embossed tinsel on my wee tree.

The paper is from HOTP and I matted the tree with silver mirri board. The gems are from my stash. Hope you like it. Sorry there is not more embossing but like I say I am not too good at it, must do more to get the hang of it. Well away to write more cards, only 30 to go,

Lili Of The Valley Thursday Challenge.

Wow this is a great challenge over at Lili of the Valley this week, It was Sprinkle and Sparkle.

Funny though how if you can put as much glitter onto something as you want you just can't.

I have used a Lili's Unicorn which I used Glitter Glue on the mane and tail to sparkle her up. I then mounted her after about 3 hours drying time!!! LOL onto pink angel hair as it is sparkly. I then I used glitter card from a kit I got years ago for the other side of the card, which I then put peel offs onto for the sentiment. Finished it off with some K & Company gems along the bottom.

Didn't put much more onto it as think it would have crowded it. Hope you like it.

Away to make some homemade vegetable soup for lunch as its quite cold here today. The school is off as it it in-service training for the teachers so entertaining the boys. Jake is much better and Tom has drops for his sore eye. He has a stye in it. It looks very sore but Tom being Tom he is not complaining. Take care all,
