A frosty sparkle!

Good Morning all, 
Well the  grey locks have been cut for another few weeks, so feeling a little lighter on top :o)) 
Today we plan on getting a decent walk in as we have been so busy this past week that its been neglected, we need to get into our routine again. Our daughter came back from South Africa last night, so will be more than happy to see her later today....if she can get out of bed after her travels....lol she left SA on Monday morning and arrived home at 9pm last night :o( I think travelling on her own was really tiring, she has a 13 hr stop in Istanbul between plane change, so I have been paranoid....lol   Anyway lots of  hugs to get in today :o))
.
Well have a card to show, again I will enter it into Simon says Stamp challenge as I think it will fit the Ice challenge perfectly, Its very frosty looking with all the sparkly icicles and snowball. I intend to make Christmas cards all through the year as lots of people didn't get one last year and I felt dreadful about it. I always used to start them in November so how I ever manage before I haven't a clue....lol

 Well that's it this morning as going to squeeze that walk in and also go and fit a mirror to my sisters mobility scooter for her. She had a fall from it the other day and ended up falling half into the road....gulp!! but she came out of it fine and said she won't go  that way to the shops again as the pavement is wonky....lol I think she misjudged the edge of kerb but she is OK and that's what matters. She does complain that she can't see behind her very well though because of her neck and shoulder problem, so a mirror will help that.
Well that's it so will.....
 Catch you later xxx

No Ice today!!

Hi everyone, Hope everyone has some of this glorious Sunshine today :o)) I am off to the hairdresser but wanted to add my card to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge before I go. This is another of the challenges on my New year Wish list. I wrote down about 6 or 7 ....but blimey don't the weeks go by fast! I am not sure I will keep up!
 Anyway the challenge is Ice Inspiration so I thought I would use this Marianne Stamp called ..... Ice Skating, well I think its called that?

I had to take my picture laid flat ...which I don't like! but the sun was so bright it was hard to photograph and also get the sparkle to show.
Well off to get the golden hmm!!! Grey locks cut and some shopping in and I will catch up tonight with your lovely creations.xxxxxxxx

A new nest

Good Morning Everyone,
 Just a quick post this morning as I want to enter another Challenge that's on my to do list :o))  I really am getting to grips this year....she says, or in this case its  Simon Says Wednesday Challenge. This challenge is New Beginnings which was perfect as I needed a card for my SIL aunty who hopefully will be moving into a new home shortly. Quite a quick easy card but I was pleased with it on the whole. Sorry the picture is  not so good, its a combination of learning new camera and funny yellow sky this morning.
I am also entering it into Fan-Tastic Tuesday...anything goes
 

 Right off to link it up as its getting near the closing time.
Cat's tail as usual :o(
Be around later, just need to finish off some Wedding invitations and then can come up for air again.
 Hugs xxxxxxxx 
Oh NO!!!!!! I have just noticed a Boo Boo on my card...can you spot it? I will leave it for now and the first one to tell me gets a little Candy treat xx

The CAS touch

Good Morning All, 
Hope everyone is safe from the storms, huge hugs to anyone that has been caught up in them. I hope those that have been hit are safe and not too much damage caused.xxxxx Thankfully apart from high winds we are OK. 
I thought I would show you the card that I made to enter a couple of challenges. I made a short list of challenges that I would like to support in 2014 and ATCAS  is one of them, I love to see what the new code word is each fortnight. this one is "Die-Cuts"...now that's right up my street :o)  
Another challenge blog is Allsorts and the challenge is "Free & Easy. I think this card fits both the challenges, I am so determined to join in some of my favourites this year.
Some new challenges starting in a few weeks too, so hopefully will enjoy them too.
I seem to have got my new year resolutions off to a decent start ...I know! I hear to laughing and saying its only Jan.6th  believe me that is good for me....lol   normally they fall by the way-side by the 3rd....sort of before they get started :o(
Here's the card, very CAS but I was quite pleased with it. New Poppy Die and new Spellbinders 5x7 detailed scallops which I used to make a border.

 I added blue Pearlised card behind the Poppy negative.
That's it for now but will call around later, after the dreaded ironing is done. xxxx

A sign of things to come.......

Good Morning and Happy New Year everyone.
Well here we are with another year full of surprises i expect. Last year brought some  very sad news for us. This year will be a year of happier events if God is willing!  We will celebrate our Golden Wedding later in the year and finish the year with a big Birthday for me....yikes! 
 Well now lets get to the first crafting session of the year for me....shame Mojo is still on holiday, I haven't a clue where he went!!!!!!
The New challenge of 2014 over at Mo's Digital is Anything Goes. A nice easy one for you, just to help get you in the crafty mood again. In my case it was a good job as all my stash had to be packed away for Christmas as I work in the lounge ..the dining end!
So here is my CAS card...till I get all my crafty stuff back out.

 Something else to really get you inspired is Mo's sale...wowee!!!!!
