Where are those cards then? LOL

Ummmm well I haven't made any cards yet. I got home from school around 5 ish and decided it was too lovely to be inside so I changed and drove to some cliffs (5-10 minute drive) for a walk, here's a couple of photos:

It's the first time I've driven there and had a walk by myself. For those that know me that's very good.

In contrast, after school on Monday lunchtime David and I drove to a lovely little town further down the coast when it was dull and blowy:

What a difference huh? Hope to do a few more of those walks, with David's bad knees he can't walk far so will sit on a bench whilst I walk :)

21st birthday card

Ooops sorry I haven't been around this past week, school was busy and we had an even busier weekend as Mum was poorly so spent quite a bit of time with her. I went to the theatre with my brother Saturday evening to hear The Songs of Sister Act with the London Gospel Choir and Rowetta (from X Factor); Sunday afternoon we all went to a 90th birthday party and that evening a friend and I went to see Jane McDonald at the local theatre. Jane was absolutely brilliant and I would love to see her again, soon.

Here's that 21st birthday card I promised you:

The image is by Magnolia, the paper are odds and ends in my stash, the 21 was made using Doodlebug mini-alphas and Stampin-up punches. Black adhesive pearls finished off the card. The style is an old one on the MojoMonday blog.

Would you like to see the website my brother created in memory of Telford? Here's the link: Retired Greyhounds. David enjoyed creating the website even though it was upsetting for him. Telford was a very special dog.

My David's in London today/tomorrow so this evening when I get home from school I'm hoping to do some crafting. I've already printed off some blog challenges ready.

Take care :)

Mojo Monday # 83

One last card for today before I have to get ready to go to school. Loved the Mojo Monday sketch, here's my take on it:

I used Old Olive and Rose Red Stampin Up papers and card, part of a Penny Black image called "Ladybug Love" and some prima flowers and crystal brad.

Thanks for looking :)

2Sketches4You - 24 Laura's sketch

I love working part-time but felt a bit off this morning so didn't feel like doing any horrible housework (don't we all :) ). Came in here to look at some blogs and decided to have a go at making a card or two. These are the cards I came up with for the 2Sketches4You sketch and bonus sketch this week:

Both are made using DCWV cardstock and Daisy & Dandelion patterned paper. The bear image is also by Daisy & Dandelion. The glittered flower on the 2nd card is by K&Co.

Thanks for looking, feel a little better now - off to school this afternoon for my 3 hours work today.

Sketch Saturday # 47 - last one for today

Yay I managed to get the Sketch Saturday challenge done today, a lovely sketch. This is what I made:

Apart from the Stampin Up card, the patterned paper and image is by Daisy & Dandelion.

It's a shame I have to go back to work tomorrow, I've enjoyed my blog challenges this past week, not sure I'll have time to keep up next week, but I'll try.

Take care and thanks for looking :)

Penny Black challenge # 45

I didn't have a chance to work on Penny Black's challenge yesterday, but as I love sketches and Penny Black I couldn't resist this afternoon:

The Penny Black image (coloured in by H2Os) is called "Poppy Fields", I used Stampin Up card and "bashful blue" and "rose red" co-ordinating patterned paper. A rub on sentiment, prima flowers and a couple of Doodlebug glitter brads finish off the card. I love the colours :)

Colour Create - Black, Pink and White

After such a lovely carvery meal and dessert I thought I wouldn't have any energy for making cards but after looking at the Colour Create blog and the challenge for this week I decided to have a go :)
The image is a clear sticker from the Daisy and Dandelion range, card stock from Stampin Up and the patterned paper is from Doodlebug.

Talking of Doodlebug has anyone seen my Doodlebug rub-on transfer tool? I had it yesterday but it's disappeared today. I've hunted everywhere, even in the bin, but no luck - ummmm wonder where it's lurking :) If you see it please let me know :)
