at the moment my fave crafty pad stamps are the belinda range, only got one more to buy, they are so beautifull and usefull for all ages.

oops oh dear what was i thinking

i am happy to show my mistakes as well as the cards i make that im happy with,

cant believe i thought this would work needless to say it will be some how recycled, can only say i was sooo eager to use the new belinda stamps from the crafty pad i did not stop and look at what i was doing, stamping and mounting in the kitchen where the lighting gives me no shadows and the card assembly in lounge where the lighting is not soo good and i work in my own shadow, and i guess chatting on yahoo and watching gordon ramseys kitchens from hell are not a good combo, just like this card lesson learnt

have to say these stamps are brill, stamp great and super service from crafty pad, off to colour the other stamps in now lol, lets see what other mistakes i make grrrr

made this today

made this card for my ebay group month challenge, the image is one of my own pictures taken at blackpool zoo on our visit last year, it was turned into a oval pyramid type decoupage. the brief was to use a animal. what im going to do with the card now i have no idea as many people say peacocks are unlucky.

lazy day (i wish)

thought i could have a lazy day today huh not a chance, although im not dressed, doing that after posting this, tried to watch this morning and heard nothing but emmas phone constantly going off then "can a freind come round, can we go swimming," then my phone goes "can you have two grankids while we go shopping?" from son, supposed to be only for a hour (i bet not )
oh well suppose i better get dressed and feed the tribe. dont know whats happened to the weather either its freezing dull and windy a great day not

new baby card

got the news on sunday that my supervisor at work had became a grandma again so i made her this card to celebrate the new arrival, ashamedly i have to admit i got the idea from another blog but i made it in my style lol,

card for a challenge

im in a few ebay crafting groups one concentrates on atcs but another im in has set up a monthly challenge with no prizes but the winner gets to set the new monthes theme, i think this is a great incentive to get me making cards with out waiting for them to be requested or waiting for a reason to do one lol, this first theme was to have flowers in there somewhere, so now i have a new disc driver i can use my joanna sheen cd roms yippee, this is my offering, im up against some stiff competition as one member has put up some canal painted plant troughs and they are brill but hey ho at least i got a card for my stash box. tried to crop it but seemingly not very well.

card for a freind

i made this card for a lovely lady who is a member of a e bay group im in, its the first time i have bought the pink petticoat designs but i thought i would brave it lol, im am actually very suprised at how easy it is to print and colour. after a initial mistake with the first one that it was easy enough to just chose another image and make it up. the backing paper i chose is lovely.

well i think it is lol. oh dear just realised you cant see the lace edge very well.

yipppeeee

got a weeks holiday off work lol

sadly so have my girls got a week off school grrrr,

got dentist on tuesday, and gas safety check on wednsday, dare say i will be having my granddaughter over night as well as most of a day or two.

emma has a craft project she wants us to do, so going to use a trip to the shope to kill two birds with one stone, need to go get her tissue paper and some bits and on way back will say we might as well pop into supermarket or i will need to come out here again and that wont go down too well, well they do need to eat, lol

back to work

went back to work today after my two days off with the dreaded bug, boss forgot to do a back to work interview seems she should have done one last week as well, boss asked was i allright as i seemed pale and had yellow rings under my eyes, thought what do you expect spent last 48 hours rubbing girls backs cleaning loo and sink continually and who rubbed my back no one lol
anuyway only three more days to go then i have a whole week off. came home today and found a envelope containing some ribbon pieces and lovely heart shapes in oil on water effect they look too lovely to use anyway must go and see what my girls are doing lol

im bugged lol

on a good note i was asked to make a 40th birthday card by a collegue at work, brief at first was lilac and dr who and likes books grrr, due to my printer not printing properly i couldnt print the images, so i decided to do a girly one and the collegue was happy with the result. hopefully if i do this right the card is here lol

first my granddaughter come down with the dreaded sickness bug, her mum got it nex then her brother, now my (youngest) hollie is stricken with it, started last night and has been continually sick through the night,

shes asleep in my bed now so hopefully the worse is over, im not feeling too good myself so i daresay before the day is through im going to be next.

(eldest) emma seems fine at the moment.
