CAS stencilling

Hello everyone, well here I am with another CAS card...getting to be a habit that I enjoy!  I think I am needing things that are not too Tasking at present so one of my all time favourite challenge blogs is serving my need very well.
                                    ATCAS... code word "Stencils"  well that suits me just fine too as I love Stencils :o)  
The stencil is from Imagination Crafts, I bought loads at Harrowgate show in March, so I might enjoy making another card to enter before it closes.
 I inked it with kaleidacolor Blue breeze inks, I then added Gelly roll "Clear star" to the petals although it doesn't show very good at all on pics :o(  but in fact it looks so pretty in the flesh.
Well thats it for now, I am going to sit and craft after I get my Beef Casserole in the oven, Hubbies ulcer seems to be healing a bit and he is looking somewhat better, So his smaller more often meals seems to be doing him good....I will be a stone heavier though as I am eating every two hours with him....lol
Hugs for now xx 
Just noticed I seem to have a dirty mark on my card pic ..not sure if its card or screen...need to check!

CAS and cuddly...

Well at long last I got to have a little play,
 The ATCAS Challenge code word is "Cuddly"  and as I am not back into full crafting mode I felt I might just cope with a CAS card.Sorry for the horrid green background..ha-ha just realised how horrid it looks, must get my head around taking photo's. :o(   I will never be a photographer...lol
 Anyway as I love this challenge it was a perfect place to start my cards again and  It made a nice break after changing the water in all my flowers I can tell you....lol   My house is like a garden :o)  It took me all morning to sort them out, (no complaints mind you)  now lots of Thank you cards to make so a busy weekend.

 off to my bed, as I am bushed, Catch you tomorrow and see what you have been up too in my absence xx

Been AWOL...

Hi everyone, 
Sorry I have been missing so long! what a busy busy month we had, Grandsons wedding was gorgeous! a fabulous day 8from start to finish.
Then we had our Golden wedding on the 26th,  again we had a lovely day...although we had a bad start to it :o(  We decided to go on a short 5day coach trip at the last minute, so booked it Wed. at 4pm and at  1-30am in the morning Den collapsed with  dangerously Low blood pressure! it was a very scary time for a while. ( Holiday cancelled and Doc out to visit him. Anniversary morning we discovered he had a small bleed from stomach ulcer, so  lots of meds and a quiet family day for our Anniversary  but a wonderful day all the same. Thank you to Sue Brindley and Irene Frudd for the beautiful cards and to everyone that sent Best wishes on facebook.  We went out for a family meal last night  which was lovely, so we are partied out so to speak. Now to get Den well and strong as he is feeling quite rough at present.

sorry Photo heavy............. 
3 gorgeous grandsons... Amanda's Boys


 
Matt and Anna    (Amanda's middle son)

Amanda and me


Our Youngest grandson Levi (Helen's Son) andCatherine

Hearts of Gold

Happy weekend everyone, 
Just popping by with a card to enter the ATCAS Challenge
The code word this time is "Luxury" well you can decide what you think of when the word pops into your mind. I decided on Gold!  and what nicer way to show it off than with Hearts..hearts of gold!... In this crazy world we need more of those for sure.  I know if the world only had Crafters in it what a very sweet place it would be to live.

Also I am entering it into Simon Says Stamp...Anything goes
 So one card for Two of my favourite Challenges :o)

Well here it is! hope you like it. Sorry it was a little hard to photograph with the bright glaring sun xx 
Bye for now, hope to squeeze some more play time soon xxxx

Another CAS

Hi sweet bloggers,
Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend :o) 
I thought I would pop on with a CAS  card I managed to find time to make. Oh! I am so missing my card making, but the flowers and cakes are now taking shape :o) the cakes are levelled and the Almond Paste is on, so step one is looking good. I am a little ahead of plans as I had a Mole removed yesterday from a very awkward place under my arm and wasn't sure if it would be sore for a couple of days so got ahead with cakes. 
Well here is the real reason for the post, A card for the challenge over at ATCAS. challenge 45....Geometric

 Quick simple but enjoyed it, used a "Creative Expressions Mask" as a stencil and inks to colour.
Bye for now xxxxxx
