In the Pink yet again......

Hi Lovely bloggers :)
Well not sure if you missed me! but I sure have missed you. Had a rough few weeks but feeling a bit brighter today so thought I would post my card for In The Pink ....Dies & Punches Challenge. You can use either or both, I just used dies on this one as I hope to add another entry if i get chance and want to use punches on that one :) I do hope you will call on the girls and join in the challenge, they really would love you to support the challenges, they love Pink Christmas cards too :)) so no excuses xxxxx
This was a great challenge for me as I just love using both, If Santa brings me a sack full of dies & punches I will be one very happy bunny indeed.
Anyway onto my card which has the adorable image "Connie" from Sugar Nellie, coloured with Promarkers this time, Lace from Stash and the swirl dies are Joy. The frame dies are my all time favourites (can't bring name to mind...doh!    A loft job to find the box I am afraid. This is the trouble when I take them out and put them on Magnetic sheets.

not too chuffed with her hair..... a bit yellow...lol

but suppose the way I have been feeling its a miracle its anything near decent....lol

Simple insert awaiting Sentiment

Thats it!  Hope to get around to pay you a visit later today. I have so neglected you all, please forgive me :~ I didn't even have the computer on for 6 days...yikes! must be really ill....lol

 Hubby is taking me to supermarket in the car as its blowing a gale and pouring down here.

 Stay warm everybody xxxxxx

huge hugs xx

CAS Pink

Good Afternoon Lovely bloggers, This is a fairly quick post today as I am going to fit in a million things today. I am so behind this week as not been feeling too well.(awaiting dreaded Camera test)  Yuk!!.... but on a happier note On Wednesday my 2nd Grandson moved into his first home so I couldn't miss going to have a peek at that :) its a lovely 3 bed house and its  very well decorated so he doesn't have to worry for a few months, give him chance to get over the shock of paying a morgage..lol. Its got a beautiful large fitted kitchen, he just needs something to fill all the cupboards! we bought him a lovely set of pans but I have a feeling that they will only be used if his girlfriend calls by and cooks him something. Den thinks he is more likely to drain his car oil in them than cook :O  I would kill him....lol  Its so good to see them getting on well though. That's two of them on the property ladder which is wonderful, it takes some doing at 24 & 25 the way things are. You can tell I am a Proud Gran can't you...lol
It is a real concern though, wondering how the young ones will manage with jobs and homes, We are so blessed that ours have both. I am so aware its not easy for kids these days, Good jobs are so hard to find.  :(
Well onto my Card for today :)

its a CAS card for the In The Pink challenge, I hope if you haven't entered the challenge you will go across and join in. Our Lovely Pinkies are so sweet and I love to see their challenges supported. Drat...just noticed I have got glue on the ribbon, so I will try and change that asap..if it will come off without damaging that is :~
I used Pink Co-ordinates cardstock, 
sentiment was a Sheena Douglas one.
Ribbon and buckle from stash.
Catch you soon, will try and catch up on your blogs as I flit in and out today.
 Huge Hugs To everyone who needs one.xxxxxxx

A very first for me....Thanks Lisa

Here I am again, two posts in one day..thats a first to start with I think. Well I said I would try and post my first ever Book card so here it is. I know its not perfect by any means but I promised Lisa that if I was just half happy with it she would see it :) if it was a total flop nobody would never see it....lol
I kept the embellies simple as I wasn't sure what to do with it once I had the actual card made up :o
This post is a bit photo heavy sorry xxxxx

I think it needs a sentiment on the front..do you???

I also need a nice sentiment to go on the left hand side, when I know if and who I am giving it to.

Well Thats it for tonight, I am off to finish a bit of crafting with Amanda before she goes home. We had an hour off to watch the dancing and have a meal, so need to finish off now.
Huge Hugs Everyone.xxxxxx

Buttons & Bows

Happy weekend to everyone, Hope you are well and keeping warm, We have had everything weather wise today!! sleet, snow rain and sunshine :~ At this moment its glorious Sunshine so long may it continue.
 Well hopefully I will be back to post my First Book Card later but first I wanted to show you my card for In The Pink Challenge which this fortnight is Buttons & Bows, can you believe its the 6th challenge already, doesn't time fly. Hope you pop along and join the lovely ladies and all the gorgeous Pinky creations.
Well here is my card, I tried to add both Buttons & Bows but you can just use one or the other if you wish. I sneaked a little pearl bow onto my button as well as the ribbon one :)

Not done a lot with insert but will add a sentiment later.

Well that's it for now but will try and post my book card later on as Amanda and I are having a craft day today and at present have not achieved very much at all. After today she can't come to craft anymore for 3weeks :(   as she is off to Egypt next week and hubby is still home off the rigs after that. I think SIL should work more weeks on than off to be honest......lol
Him being at home interferes with our craft time :~
Well catch you later, Huge hugs to those that need them xxxxx

Autumn Golds

Hi Lovely Bloggers,
Well here I am at long last, I haven't had time this week to get any posting done. I made a couple of cards but then missed the challenges due to no time :~ My friend said goodby to her mum on Monday so that was a very sad day, the weather added to it as it took everyone so long to travel due to the dreadful foggy weather, but we got there safely.
The week improved , not weather wise might I add..its horrid here.

Last night I went to see Charlie Landsborough..my favourite country/folk Singer, He is amazing!   well I think so....lol
I was so looking forward to the concert, and I must say it was brilliant. The Only hic-up was I got out of the car in the car park and promptly tristed my ankle in a huge pot hole (in the dark) And went sprawling :( One twisted right ankle, One very painful swollen left knee and a painful elbow and shoulder ...doh! What am I like...lol   I thought at one point I was going to have to be carried in by Amanda and my Hubby to see Charlie ...oh! yes I was determined to see him regardless....lol They wanted me to go to the hospital, but sorry.... Charlie was calling :))
I am needless to say a little fragile today, what hurts I hear you ask.... EVERYTHING!
Anyway onto the only card this week that hasn't missed the challenges, Its for Mo's Autumn Fun Challenge. Not too chuffed with it but here it is. Sorry to the other challenges that I missed posting. I won Crafts and Me a fortnight ago and so wanted to join in last week with a lovely image that I won, made the card and missed the challenge ..drat it!
Here is Mo's sorry the pic isn't wonderful but had to put some light on it as its such a dark dingy day.

I am also entering it in Simon Says Stamp....Autumn Leaves

Thats it girls, hope to pay some visits later today.

 Huge Hugs to everyone xxxxx

Big smiles all round :))

  Hugs to everyone, see you very soon xx 

So Sorry Everyone :(

Just the quickest of posts to say I am sorry can't get round to visit you at the Mo as my internet is down :(   I have borrowed  this one to leave you a quick message. I am so missing you all ..boo hoo!
 our old Modem had to be replaced by Virgin and the new one that came at the beginning of last week was faulty. They sent out another one which came yesterday and guess what...it don't work either....grrrr!!!! We are now awaiting a technician who is coming tomorrow afternoon. I am so sick of it I could throw it into the garden...lol
Got Cards to post for a couple of favourite challenges..In the Pink and Mo's Challenge but may not get them posted now..Sorry girls.
