Butterflies and Lace

Over on Enfy's blog and this months challenge is Butterflies and Lace, and this is what I have come up with. The image is from a Polka Doodles cd, pretty sweet as are the papers, but cannot remember which cd oops, the heart was cut from my Cricut, the butterfly is a Wendy Vecchi stamp, which was stamped twice, once on patterned paper and once on Clearly for Art film, then heated and shaped while still warm. Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes but the sun is steaming through the window and I cannot see the screen very well, not that I'm complaining about the sun, and it is my own fault as I keep saying that I need a blind for the window, but never buy one.

Sunday Stampers - Hearts

Hi all, guilty again of not posting stuff when it's made, just a quicky as I really need to go and get the dinner on.

Hop over to Hel's blog to see the theme of hearts for this week and go on you know you want to join in. Above is my effort for this one, hope you likey, have just had my delivery of Studio 490 stamps and art parts, and have a couple of days off at the end of the week so, can't wait to get my trotters into the new stash.

Am making my first, or should I say, trying to, a frame thingy for my daughter with the theme of Alice in Wonderland, am trying out my glue gun which was a birthday pressie from my sister, how much mess can you get into with one of those things, ummmm, didn't know you could get soo many stringy glue strands all over the place. Have a lovely week will be counting down till the end of the week.

Wow it has been a while......

Since I last posted. Have not been documenting my crafting as I cannot find the lead for my camera, honest, and this fandagled wireless printer keeps telling me it's not installed on my puter but have managed to scan my latest creation, so blah to technology, brilliant when it works but a right big old pain up the jacksie, when it doesn't, having no interest in techy stuff is not in my favour either LOL.

I have totally enjoyed this one as I have just been able to play and not committed to making it for anyone, as soon as those little words are whispered in my shell like, please can you make me a card, the mojo ups and does a runner.

Tis lovely jubbly to get back involved with a challenge or two, this one was right up my alley to use some new but unused stamps from Crafty Individuals, the challenge this week from Polkadoodles was Vintage and also from Sunday Stampers I used the theme is Gold, although it looked like fake gold as I tried to use gold alcohol ink and it just looked a sickly green, so quickly whipped out my gold paint dabber. If your wondering it's the button that has been painted gold, the colours are not shown so well on the scanned image, a bit pale, but Hels you inspired me to take the wrapping off my distress stains and are lovin em, and it's a doddle to colour seam binding, look at me getting carried away with the old chatty bit. Thanks for looking. xx

Polka Doodles Challenge

Hello all, I have been a lazy blogger of late, have done a few challenges but not posted, cannot find the lead for the camera to load the pics, so have scanned these images, rubbish I am too with techy stuff, wish I was more interested in it then I may get better results LOL!

Over at http://www.polkadoodle.blogspot.com/ the challenge is to use the free download or from the Sundae of Seasons CD, I have used the latter to create these couple of cards, I have also made some toppers for some sweety treats to match the cards.

Take 2

Think it's tinternet, the light is flashing but there's no one at home, don't ya just know the feeling! :))

A bit of the old swooshing of ink pads, and a bit of the pro markers, think I'm getting a bit better with the colouring although an artist I will never be.

Arnt' these just the cutest reindeers, I have to eat my words as couldn't get on with CD crafting but am loving these Polkadoodles CDs, if at first you don't succeed, etcetera, etcetera, said in a Yul Brinner, King and I slur, must have been as we were watching Anna and the King, still prefer the old version, but I digress, again.

Best save this before I loose the lot, new stamps too from Crafters Companion, must not buy anymore, got loads still in packets and unused, sucker for em, I am.

Time Flies

Well I had intended uploading a fair few cards I had made in the last month, but blogger doesn't seem to want to open my picture files and seen as I have zero patience with computer stuff, I've lost interest, although our pc seems to be playing up recently, maybe it's time to go to pc heaven LOL.

So after all my good intentions, I have one offering, better luck next time huh!

Walk 10- Castle Howard 31st July 2011

What were you doing on a fine sunny Sunday evening, well, myself and three other Admin Angels, above, (as well as few others of course), walked 10k for Marie Curie. Thank you ladies I had a lovely time, although I feel pooped this evening, I can't burn the candle at both ends anymore, but all in aid of a good cause, thank you to all who have sponsored us.

The beautiful Castle Howard, the views were wonderful, and the mochacino afterwards was delish too.
