Morning all,
I have scheduled this so I hope it arrives at the appointed time. I am hoping to have a little sleep in tomorrow...oh! I mean today! I hadn't realised it was 12 25am.
We walked to a near by cove today and by the time we got back we were worn out. Its a 10 mile round trip and we had a little head wind going so we both struggled quite a bit.
It was a nice walk though and we had walked a few Calories off, that is until we had a bag of chips...lol We only had one between us though as we wanted to be half good :o)
Well onto my First ever Christmas card in September, I cannot believe that I have actually made one this early I need about 40 and I never start them till at least mid November. I am one of those people who whinge continually about the shops starting Christmas before Dec....lol
I will be buying pressies in October the way I am going..tut!
Anyway i was inspired to make a start so here is the first,
I will maybe link it to a challenge when I crawl out of bed :)
Not a lot of materials used,
LOTV Nitwits paper for the centre,
Die is Spellbinders..Labels 18
Stickles..Star-dust
Stamp...unmounted stamp co. ....I think?
Be around to call later today. xxxxxx
Just noticed the picture has a lot of black marks on the top of card......can't see them on the actual card???? I will sort it and change the picture ASAP
Hi Everyone, Hope you are all enjoying your weekend and that you have got the sun shining on you. Its beautiful here and hubby is out doing the lawns, So its crafty time for me :))
Thank you all for the lovely Anniversary Wishes and the lovely cards you sent. I really can't believe its 49yrs since I walked down that Isle ..yikes! doesn't time fly when you are having fun.
We had courted for 5 yrs before that so we have spent almost all our lives together.
Anyway onto my card for today....
Mo's DP2 For the Boys Challenge which is hosted by Anja,
The team have come up with some fab cards as always.
This is my entry as always I struggled with a Male card....no Fow-fees and ribbons or lace. Well its a bit plain and simple but I was reasonably happy...being a boy card.....lol
The image is of course Mo's and is called Computer Guy His wiring looks abit like mine...lol
Sorry the pic is a bit dodgy, it is so sunny that I couldn't stop the glare.
Well I leave you with a couple of pics that have kept me busy and way from my blog a little this past week. My gorgeous flowers that my eldest daughter bought us for our Anniversary, Our youngest daughter bought us a beautiful Stephanosis plant and ..another afternoon tea out yesterday...oh my poor hips!
Den arranged a fab day for us at York for our Anniversary, we had a lovely Lunch and walked the city walls and...Shopped! I got totally spoilt as always :) and then went in for a scrummy Afternoon tea... a Wonderful day! real us time.
this is our Beautiful Grandaughter Holly celebrating her 18th last week, Amongst her other goodies we took her 10 Helium balloons with money fastened to the strings
This was me trying to get the silly things into my car
Good Morning Everyone xx
First, I have added some Spellbinders D-Lites to my items for sale on the link at the top of my blog. I may be adding a few more bits as this week goes on. I have decided that I have to move some things on that I don't use. Let me know if you are interested.xx
Well onto my card for Mo's Say it with Flowers Challenge.
As I always get lots of flowers for my anniversary (in 3 days) I thought I would use this image and Enter it into the
"Without Words Happy Anniversary challenge too.
Just realised that I have used the same colours as the previous card I guess I am into Aqua! I coloured my image with Promarkers and polychroma's, and used the Spellbinders Lattice die for the background. The flower punch was a little papermania one. Sorry the picture seems a bit blurred... or maybe its my eyes.
More catching up with you later today.
xxxxxxx
Happy Sunday Bloggers, Hope you are having some of this Gorgeous sunshine. Its a lovely day here and so we are off to treat ourselves to an afternoon tea.. and a look at the crafty things :0) at the local nurseries.
First I want to post my card for City Crafter colour challenge
Ros has chosen Aqua/white/Silver and green so think this might qualify.
I am still struggling with CAS and as I like them I am trying to make a few with the hope I will improve.
I will be back later hopefully to visit some blogs, Enjoy the rest of your day, Huge Hugs xxxx
As I linked this card up, I noticed I had been Spotlighted for the Daisy Daisy challenge.. I am thrilled :0) Thank you so much xxxxxx
Hi Everyone, so sorry not been able to blog these last few days,
but things have been very hectic here :( As well as Holly getting home from Hospital and needing baby-sitting whilst my daughter went each day to the stables to see to all the horses...Then we had my Hubby's Birthday yesterday so House full of Visitors all day, What a popular man he is....lol
Had a lovely meal to round the day off though so that was nice, some quality US time.
Today Its Holly's 18th Birthday and also our eldest Grandson Ben's Birthday so its going to be a very busy day visiting.
A grans work is never done ...lol
Well the update on Holly is she got the Operation over and they have screwed and plated her knee and shortened her Hamstring and wrapped it around the knee it seems. She's still in quite abit of pain and discomfort and has stayed in her bed for a few days as its so painful to get down the stairs. She is on very heavy pain relief which of course makes her very sleepy too. Her leg is so heavy to move as its got an enormous Pressure bandage on it and a full length leg brace on top of that.
Anyway Thank you all for your Good Wishes for her, I am off to see her and try and brighten her Birthday as best we can.
Then off to see Ben for His birthday. :0)
Huge Hugs everyone, be back as soon as I can.xxxxxx
Hi lovely bloggers, hope everyone is well and hugs to those that need one xx
I am all over the place this morning as My grandaughter has gone into hospital at 12pm today for her knee operation this afternoon. She has never spent a night in a hospital before so this is her first experience of hospital life :( She was so anxious and couldn't get over the fact it was Friday 13th...lol What a munchkin she is... a big one!! but a munchkin all the same, She is 18 in 4 days time. She certainly won't be celebrating that's for sure, they have told her she will be totally housebound for two weeks and next Feb/March before she is able to ride again. All jumping and dressage has ceased since her injury in January, so its going to be an uphill struggle to get fit again. She is also worried that her job at Mary Reeveley's (race-horses) stables might be in jeopardy as another girl has been doing Holly's job for her, she so loved it too.
Anyway I thought I would post a card that I did a while back to try and keep myself busy, I used a Hobby House topper and papers which was a candy win from the lovely Debs.
What a gorgeous box of goodies it was too :)....
.......oops!! just had a text to say she is on ward and waiting to go down!!!!! oh this Gran is a wreck....lol
Back to card......
well off to have a snack and then will do some blog hopping :0) I have made jam this morning and tidied cupboards so built up an appetite. Catch up with you soon xx
entering into
City Crafter challenge..Bicycle
Hi Folks, Hope you have managed to stay warm today, Its freezing here! I think winter has arrived never mind autumn!!
I think its time to dig out the winter woolies, I was so hoping that the heating could be left off a bit longer, but I don't do cold!!
Well this is a quick post to link my card up that I have enjoyed making today.. something I am quite happy with..well that makes a change I hear you say...lol I love browns and greens so that was a good start :0)
I adore this sweet new image from Mo and couldn't wait to use him. My card is for Mo's DP2 Challenge ....anything goes
Hope you likey.. Bye for now, off to start tea. xxxxxx
Happy weekend Everyone, Hope you have some sunshine where you are. Ours had decided to hide behind a very dodgy looking cloud :O Guess what! I have just got the last lot of washing hung out....drat!!
Anyway onto my card which I have made last night, Its for the ATCAS ...code Music Challenge the code this time was chosen by Harriet, already some amazing entries and the DT work is Gorgeous!
Kept mine CAS as required, and cut the heart out on my Cricut and added my own sentiment using Word Art. Not sure I like the shadow on the sentiment, should have chosen a different one, I like the slight swirl on this one though. A double bow using Chiffon Ribbon to round it off.......oh! the Music stamp was from the Papermania Urban set.
Well I think thats about all from me at present as I want to get some of this dry washing ironed if I can, What am I saying!! No I don't want to do it but it needs ironing and as they say Needs must!
Hopefully will catch you later, if Its not bedtime by the time I get finished, at least its cool enough to iron today.
Hi everyone, hope you have had a lovely day, the sun is glorious here on the N/E coast. This morning brought my 2nd Grandson and his beautiful wife to be, to talk wedding cakes. I now have a rough idea what sort of cake she would like, She has time to decide though so it could be totally different in a few weeks. Its quite a few years (7) since I did Wedding cakes so I hope I am tooo rusty.
Well from Sugarcraft to Papercraft, I wanted to post my card for Mo's DP2Challenge...Goodbye Summer.
I added a bit of a twist to the challenge, so hope you can recognize where I am coming from....ha-ha. I was thinking about our forthcoming Wedding anniversary later this month and as I guess we are in our Autumn years now this was my take on Goodbye Summer. I hope it qualifies for the challenge.
Off to enjoy my tea and then I will be back to pay some blog visits.
