40th Birthday

Evening peeps.  Sneaking on with another one of the cards I made yesterday.  This one for the birthday boy whose party we were attending last night.   No crafting today as I have been a little delicate.... lol.  Had a really fantastic time last night catching up with friends - hence the slight sore head today.

The design papers were free from a crafting magazine.  Decoupage is from stash.  Lettering and numbers are done using Sizzix's Alphabet Mango Tango.  The challenges covered are:-

• Ooh La La  -  It's A Man Thing
• Get Sketchy  -  Sketch
• Creative Card Crew  -  No Flowers

One Idea - Two Cards

Good evening to my lovely followers.  Sorry I have not been on for a couple of days.  Full of good intentions, but never managed to get to the dining room table to play!!!  I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  I was playing nurse maid to Barry who had "Man-Flu", and I discovered yet again, I have not got the right patience for being a nurse ....lol .... I will have to teach myself tolerance ... how do I do that??? .. lol. 

So to help compensate my lack of TLC, I let Barry take me shopping (yes, he was well enough to do that!!!)......and gasp!! ...... I know, I must have been feeling really REALLY guilty for me to go to the shops ... and what did we come back back with ......... a new bed!! ......... if Baza had his way, it would have been one of those fancy electric adjustable ones with the flip-up TV screen in the footrest... lol.

My one idea over the weekend was to make to use one of my many Sizzix dies that of late have been left abandoned in a box under the stairs since I have fallen in love with rubber stamping and try and create something with them and here are the results.....

Along with the Sizzix House die, I have used 2 Cuttlebug embossing folders (Swiss Dots and another).  Design paper from scrap pile.  Ribbon, brad and charm from stash.  Circle stamped sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.  The challenges covered on this card are:-

• Get Sketchy  -  Sketch
• Alphabet Challenge  -  'K' for Keys
• Dutch Dare  -  All Stitched Up

This card has been made similar - but different (if that makes any sense!!!) I was trying to make it look more masculine by not using any DP's and using straight lines instead of any curves.  The ribbon and sentiments are from stash.  The challenges covered on this card are:-

• Simon Says  -  Sketch
• Allsorts Challenge  -  Teal & Brown
• Crafty Creations  -  New Beginnings

My Girl, Lollipop

Froggies, Hedgies & Hearts!!!

Hello everyone in Blogland, hope all is well.  My peace and quiet was shattered last night as Barry's football match was cancelled, plus Lesley & Ellie came for their dinner - but tonight however - I'm Free!!!   I am doing to do a bit of blogging and hopping tonight to catch up with all you lovely peeps!

Starting off with this card for Penny Black's Saturday Challenge - Colour Combo "Blue, White & Gold", I combined the sketch from Get Sketchy.  Again I cheated by using a Penny Black Stickeroo.  Light blue & white card stock from pile and ribbon & sentiment are from stash. 

You can probably tell  I am in a minimalistic phase at the moment, brain is not coping with "Fiddly" at the moment so got to keep it simple ("suits you" I can hear you mutter....lol).

Yes!, I know, cheating again with a Stickeroo!!!  This lovely card brighten up my day when I made it for Sophisticat's "Spring" challenge.  I could just visualise myself skipping through the fresh meadows with the birds singing!!! .....lol.

And finally this above card is for both Creative Card Crew & Simon Says who asked to "Punch It".  So out came the old faithful Sizllit's hearts and Nestibilitie's squares!!!  This type of card is so handy for using up any scraps of card you have laying around.  Used some wee Card Candy's (my fellow blogger friend, Marianne, told me what the technical name was for them - thanks xxx)

Get Sketchy

Hello peeps, hope all is well in Blogland.  Just got one card in post this evening - 'coz I am a silly-billy - don't know if the rest of you do this.  I jot down the wonderful challenges and sketches that are set to test us on a piece of paper, I go away and play at the table, stand back at look in awe at the miracle I have created with my fair hand (lol)  then realise that the cut off time has pasted - DOH! .....Told you I am a silly-billy!!!! lol

Anyway I am getting this one in on time for Get Sketchy.  I have used one of the Gorjuss Girls from Sugar Nellie (she should have a chicken with her but its now in the oven ...lol) The blue papers are from Papermania.  Turquiose card is from scraps drawer and embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder, distressed it to the max with chalk ink. 

Away now to sort my pieces of paper in some sort of order....lol.
