Christmas Card

Here is a card I designed for a recent Christmas Card Workshop using Adornit papers and Bazzill Cardstock and my Cuttlebug Birds & Swirls Embossing Folder (I love this folder). The image is by Stampendous and is one of their new range of cling stamps. When this range first came out I didn't quite get it that you affixed the stamp to an acrylic block using the cling which is attached to the stamp. Thicko here tried to peel it off and stick it to the block and wondered why it wouldn't stick DOH!!! Well I never claimed to be the most intelligent person on earth LOL.

Today I tried to catch up with some washing and ironing - I really don't know where all the washing comes from in this house as my laundry baskets are never empty. I did manage to get some washing out today and it stayed dry which was fantastic so more ironing tomorrow I guess LOL.

Till tomorrow.

Planning A Getaway

I had a nice day today crafting with friends. The Scor-pal class went well and everyone loved the fold out stationery box that we made. We used one of my favourite paper ranges (Manhattan from Autumn Leaves). I have posted a photo of another scrapbook page that I managed to do earlier in the week. The photo is one of my all time favourites and it was taken whilst on holiday in Majorca a couple of years ago. I hope you like it too. The paper is Basic Grey (shock horror!!!), the chipboard frame is by Technique Tuesday and the ribbon is from PTI. I brought back some of these chipboard frames from Florida last year and this is only the second one I've used. Something tells me I have too much stash when I've only just got around to using these LOL.

I've spent this evening trying to sort out a Halloween costume for Laura for next week. She wants to go out trick or treating with friends on Saturday evening and I've agreed to let her go on the condition that I drive them around and wait in the car at the end of the street. She was not overly happy about that but hey I'd rather play safe. She also has a Guide Halloween Party next Monday evening and would like to wear a different outfit (no pressure LOL).

SECC - What A Disappointment

I went along to the Craft Show at the SECC yesterday just to see if there was anything new that I couldn't live without. Surprise, surprise, there wasn't! I was very disappointed in the show and the quality of stuff on sale. It seems to be going downhill every year and I'm glad we don't do it anymore. There was one stand that was selling end of range scrapbooking stuff at good prices but there was very little else of much interest to me. I also grudge being charged £6.70 to get in then have to pay £5 to use the car park - daylight robbery methinks LOL.

Here is one of the pages from the little 8" x 8" scrapbook I made earlier in the week. I used mainly black and white photos for this album because I think it goes well with the SEI Grandpa's Attic paper range. I hope you like it - Laura looks soooo cute.

Last night we went to the Church Beetle Drive and what a laugh we had. We took Laura's friends (Sophie & Jenny) with us and we all had a ball. The girls were delighted to win prizes for their efforts and we also managed to win a couple of prizes in the raffle - result!

Tomorrow I have a Scor-pal class and then I hope to do some more scrapping (well that is the plan anyway).

Till then.

Missing in Action

Apologies for not blogging for a couple of days but domestic life got in the way LOL. Although I did manage to make up two SEI 8" x 8" Scrapbook in a Bag Kits. One of these is for DH and the other is for Laura as part of their Christmas. I was really pleased with them and I just need to look out some photos tonight and I will share a few pages later. Fee x

Ricky Was Robbed

I'm fizzing mad at the X-Factor results tonight - there is no way that Ricky should have gone. I really do feel that he gave the better performance at the Sing Off. I can't understand how John & Edward are still hanging on as they really are tone deaf LOL.

Anyway, I had a lovely day today hanging out with good friends, laughing, making cards and eating biscuits - fantastic. The card posted above was designed and made by my BF Valerie Jane Moffat for The Papercraft Company. These hedgehogs are really cute and we do love Penny Black stamps. I hope you like the card.

Till tomorrow.

Get Well Soon Val

My BF Val is feeling poorly today and as we usually get together at the weekends I missed her being around today (and her cheek too LOL). Seriously though I hope you are feeling better tonight Val.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to be able to do some more Christmas Cards as I've got quite a few PTI and Stamping Up Christmas stamps that haven't seen an inkpad yet. Wish me luck.

Tonight we are having a lazy evening watching X-Factor and munching (nothing new there!) I hope that John and Edward go out tonight they are terrible. I'm not sure they actually will go out cos the public may just vote them in to annoy Simon, especially as he was soooooo mean to Cheryl tonight.

Roll on tomorrow - until then.

Patiently Waiting

Well OK perhaps patiently is not the word but I am waiting with bated breath for the new PTI October release tonight at 10pm EST. I've tried to wait up a few time but always fall asleep before the release party gets started. To try and get around this I had a few hours sleep earlier this evening and here I am blogging at 3am LOL. Just gotta keep awake.

I made a card today using My Little Yellow Bicycle papers and one of my favourite Unity stamp sets Wild and Crazy Bunch - I hope you like it. Remind me not to post as late as this again as I uploaded the wrong photo. The blue/green card above is made from the same Unity set and was made for The Papercraft Company by Karen Watson. My card is the yellow/white and orange one and I have used the same image but the papers are from the Baby Girl Safari range from My Little Bicycle . I love these papers and I hope you like the cards.
