FRIEND CARD

Thought I would post this card before I go to bed. I have just finished it plus another one, but i'm not happy with it. So tomorrow I may make a few changes or it goes in the bin.



So thanks for visiting - see ya all tomorrow x

JUST A COUPLE OF CARDS

Got all my stuff out tonight to have a play about and came up with these 2 cards. I dont think they are too bad as I sat for a good half hour deciding what to do.



I will put these with the other cards that my friend is going to take to work and any money raised from the sale of the cards are going to Ellies Trust. SO I HOPE THEY ALL SELL!



I havent finished yet. Might as well get some more cards made when everything is strewn across the dining table and its only 9.20 at night. Both the kids are in bed and hubby is at work - so its lovely and quiet.

NO BIG MONEY WIN

Well thats what happened last night. In the end there were 6 of us who went to bingo and we had a great fun time. My best bud linda was the only winner and that was £20.00. So instead of spliting it between us we decided to put it on the Euro and the Lotto - so fingers crossed.

TODAY I havent done anything major, apart from trying to sort my craft stuff out. I have too many bags of ribbon, that I really need to find better storage for. My only problem is that I dont have a craft space of my own - the dining room table is where it all happens - that at the moment I have stash in my sideboard, under my stairs and in my bedroom (oh I dream of my own space). Most of my magazines are stored away in boxes under the stairs which means having to pull everything out just to look at them, my precious papers are stored in NEW pizza style boxes, my bits and bobs like flowers, inks, eyelets, brads etc are all stored in a draw. So when it comes to making anything it looks like a bomb site in my dining room.

So i am going to get off and finish tidying up before I get the kids. SO HAPPY CRAFTING EVERYONE - maybe have something to show you later x

NOTHING TO SHOW

I havent done any card making since Tuesday -just been busy with other stuff.

I have done my ironing this morning and cleaned upstairs and got the dinner ready for the kids coming in from school, because I dont want to feel guilty later as I AM GOING OUT TONIGHT to Gala bingo (jumping for joy, cant you tell I dont get out much). But I am happy as its a night out with my friends. So fingers crossed I at least win something.

Don't know what the weather is like from where you are, but it is soooo cold here and very very windy. We had hail stones and rain this morning, but the sun is shining now, for how much longer I dont know. I will have to brave the weather and go get my youngest from school at 3pm - lucky for me its only round the corner.

So I will sign off and hopefully be back on tomorrow to let you know if i won the JACKPOT - doubt it very much!

ANNIVERSARY CARD

Over on the Crafts Beautiful forum they are running a competition where you have to design a card with a photo on it. It can be colour, sepia or black and white. The only thing is, the deadline for entries is the 1st February - so get yourself over there and get a card entered.



I found all the bits for this card tonight as i was having a little tidy up of some folders. I even found a photocopy of the original card that I made. So I did the same as the original.



The small picture postcard was in a pack that I bought from Lakeland and I am sure they were in the sale. The paper and ribbon was from my LCS.

Hope you are all having a great evening - and I also managed to catch bits and bobs of CSI - what about that proposal????? :0) don't want to say anything else just in case any visitors to my blogland haven't seen it yet.

FUNNY MORNING - PLUS A VALENTINE BUG

FIRST THING.

My eldest daughter has 2 rats which she keeps in her bedroom (which i wish she wouldn't), well anyway this morning we all get up at 7am and Caitlyn goes to get washed. I go into her room to get her uniform out for her and there is only 1 rat in the cage. Well panic set in. The kids were running about making as much noise as possible (wrong thing to do) trying to find the rat. So i closed her bedroom door and said to leave the room for a while and get some breakfast then have a look for her. So at 7.30 this morning Caitlyn is sat in the middle of her floor with a piece of ham in her hand trying to tempt the poor lost thing out from where ever she was hiding. Next we heard a bit of scratching in her chest of draws - lo and behold there was Whiskers (her name) sat underneath the bottom draw. When I went to grab her she ran down the side of the bed where it is like a no mans land 'rubbish galore'. So I rang my neighbour (now its 8.05) who likes fishing, to borrow one of his nets. AND IT WORKED - I managed to snag the little **** and get her back into the cage.

Have to say it was quite funny - but then I was like, what would have happened if one of the dogs got her, or she managed to get one of the windows. The kids were delighted to have her back safe and sound and so was I.

SECOND THING



I made this card tonight - as once again hubby is sat on the playstation playing Tomb Raider. Well I don't really mind as there is never any thing on the telly.



I printed it off on my computer and decoupaged the little bug then added some colour. Really quick to do and basic (just the way I like to do them)

JUST A QUICKIE

Off to have a shower, then off to bed- so thanks for visiting and hope to see ya all tomorrow.

SUNDAY PEACE & QUIET

Well, for a couple of hours.

Hubby took the kids out today to give me some quiet in the house. They have been manic this weekend and I was ready for pulling my hair out. He told me to make some cards or stuff - so, I didn't feel guilty about having all my craft stuff all over the dining room table.



I managed to make 4 cards , 2 baby ones and 2 general cards. I used the new Dovecraft pack that I bought yesterday and I really like the paper I used. I also used a few brads, and the studio g stamps, which I then doodled a border round. The ribbon on the general cards are from Woolworths, and the ribbon on the baby cards I bought yesterday.



For the baby cards I used the Baby Dovecraft paper pack, which I cut out the cute elephant image, I also used my cuttlebug to emboss the card behind it. The ribbon was bought yesterday.



Sorry again for the bad quality pictures but once again taken this evening. Thanks for looking :)

Another 'LUV' card

Here is another Valentine card that I made late last night, but I thought I would get the picture today in some proper light.

The dark brown card has the heart cut out and I have put it onto sticky fixers.



Been to a local wool shop this morning and came across these ribbons. Great value £1.00 for 5 metres - so all in all 15 metres for £3.00 squid. I also bought the new Dovecraft Retro Floral Prints paper pack for £2.50 and the Studio G Small Square Acrylic Block for £1.25.
