Oh my gosh, look what I've won, Julie's blog candy, how chuffed am I!
It was such a surprise when I went to check out who the lucky winner was, I just had to keep pinching myself, I was sure I was imaging my name in print, I asked my daughter to come look and tell me I wasn't seeing things.lol. So I'd like to send a great big thank you to Julie for such lovely candy and to her friend Teresa for choosing my card. What a hard decision she had, I was checking out the other entries and didn't think I stood a chance against all the fab cards made by the other ladies. Can't wait for the postie to arrive!
Anyone who has never visited
julies blog, please go and check it out, she is a very talented card maker and well worth a look.
Even more excitement this weekend. My second favourite weekend of the year is approaching, the Hobbycraft show is on at the NEC (my first favourite weekend is the Hobbycraft show in November). I can't wait, I'll be there at the door when the show opens at 9.30, I hope to get some lovely new goodies.
I always take a list of things I NEED, but I always come home with nothing on the list and lots of other things instead, do you do that?
One useful tip, I always write a list of the ink pads I have and use a piece of copier paper to punch out all my paper punches so I don't duplicate any. How many times have you stood there trying to think if you already had something, decide you haven't and when you get home you have ended up with two? lol.
Well anyone else making the trip to Brum for the show this week, I hope you have a great time and get lots of exciting new things, I'll show you what I get in a later post.
One last thing, thankyou to you lovely ladies for leaving a message of congratulations on my win, I appreciate it. x
I've been in two minds whether to post this card as it's so similar to my last 'male' card, but what the hell, it is different in a couple of ways. The obvious difference is the colours, the CS is DCWV and the image has been coloured with Faber Castell pencils. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from my new set of sentiment stamps from Clare Curd's Signature Range, I just love these stamps. The cheers sentiment was done on the computer. 
My baby is 19 today! I've been suffering from loss of mojo this past week or so, and really did struggle to make this at the last minute and then just by coincidence I discovered that the cutecardthursday challenge for this week is called 'Family Affair'. You have to make a card for a member of your family, so here is my entry. I used:
Evening folks, just a really quick post tonight as I'm still exhausted from the weekend, Friday night we were out for a Chinese meal for my hubby's birthday. Saturday, early start at the NEC; quite restrained really, I didn't buy too much, but did manage to stay for the whole day, my poor feet! Saturday evening, a friend at work had a 40th birthday party, needless to say I didn't do too much dancing. Anyway, enought waffle, I put this on the Do-Craft site and asked anyone interested in details to visit my blog, so I thought I'd better make the effort to post it.
Sorry about the picture quality of this one, my photography skills are cetainly not improving. He really hasn't got a blurred face. I'll put a close up of him on too so you can see (or click on the picture for a close up). It's a simple card for one of those awkward males. They really are so difficult to make and I'm not really sure men are really that bothered about getting a card or maybe they just say that and they'd be devastated not to get any. What do you think?
There you are, a bit less fuzzy. A simple card using the following:
Oh my gosh, look what I've won, Julie's blog candy, how chuffed am I!
Just received my SU goodies for this month's Stampers 10 order. Julie sent this lovely paper, ribbon and die cut flowers and asked for a card to be made with these for her Japes with Julie blog. I combined this with the Truly Scrumptious challenge which is a sketch with hand made buttons as an addition, and this is what I came up with.
Hi folks, just a quick post as I'm dashing out to visit my mom. She'll have my dinner ready and waiting for me, yum, can't wait. Isn't it nice when someone else cooks for you! Anyway, I'm glad to have been able to get chance to make a card for the Colour Create Challenge, I've missed the last few weeks.
