Get Well Soon

Good afternoon to all you lovely followers.  The weekend is here again and a chance to spend some time playing - woop woop!!!  I should really be popping to the shops to get Barry's birthday present (I'll do that tomorrow - have to get  my priorities right.  lol).  Now that the nights are getting longer I should hopefully be spending some of my evenings up at the table being creative  - never seems to work out that way though!!

I got a lovely surprise at my work yesterday, the courier delivered back the laptop all fixed - another woop woop!!! so I can blog again.  Even though we have the PC upstairs, it just didn't feel right - strange I know, but again, I am a bit weird full stop.

The image is one I have but I have no idea from it came I'm afraid.  The DP are from Papermania.  Sentiment printed off on computer.  Flowers and card candies are from stash.  The challenges covered are:-

• Stampavie & more  -  Sketch
• Stamp with Fun  -  Rain
• Creative Inspirations  -  "Get Well Soon"

Charity Update - We did it!!!

Just to let my lovely followers know that last night's Charity 10th Year Anniversary Band Night for the The Brionni Trust went wonderfully well.  It was a great night and a fantastic turnout.  The people where brilliant, we could not have done it without the help of so many folk.  As I said yesterday we were hoping to raise last night about £1600 to get us to our goal of £100,000 over the last ten years - well, we exceeded all expectations and the rolling total is now a staggering:-

                           over £101,000.......... Fantastic!!!

I can't believe it!!!  The generosity of everyone is truly awesome and every single penny raised is so appreciated by so many.

Laptop Crisis!!!!

Yep - I have done it again and broke the laptop.  I should know by now that electrical appliances and myself don't mix! ... lol.  Took the laptop to the repair shop on Thursday and it is "kaput" and I have lost all my photos from holidays & cards etc... Lesson to myself to start putting them on discs.  So I am using the PC upstairs.

I have not done as much crafting as I had hoped this week as been decorating and doing jobs in the garden and even they didn't go to plan...... with broken lights, freezer and ripped lino.

Anyway, I have managed to make a something.  Decided to get the heat gun out the cupboard to have a wee play and this is the result.

The embossed image is a stamp I think from a Do-crafts Goody Bag years ago.  The Snowflake embossing folder is used and I patted a cats eye chalk ink pad over it.  Ribbon and sentiment is from stash.  The challenges covered are:-

• Truly Scrumptious  -  Sketch & Snowflakes
• ABC Christmas  -  'T' for Tree
• Stampavie & more  -  More than one Fold

This afternoon I am busy helping making up food for a buffet for tonight.  We are holding our 10th Year Anniversary Charity Band Night on behalf of The Brionni Trust.  It will be a terrific night with a local band playing.  We are hoping to raise about £1600 tonight to get to our target of £100,000 since we started 10 years ago.

Get your motor rolling.........

Good morning, good morning, good morning.  Hope you are all well.  I am sneaking on before Barry gets back from the golf with a wee sneak peek of his birthday card.  It is not until the 11th October but I know what I am like and I would have forgotten so I made it when it was fresh in my mind.  I have no idea what to get him for a pressie though as he has everything - Gadget City our house is... hehehe.

Since old Baza loves the Formula One car racing I thought I would be nice and made him a wee themed card using some decoupage I had for just an occasion... lol.  The papers are from DCVW.  The challenges covered on this card are:-

• Cards for Men  -  Transport
• Cupcake  -  Transport
• Spoon Full of Sugar  -  Anything Goes

This afternoon I am off to my friends house who is having a Macmillan Coffee Morning in memory of her father so hopefully I shall be back on later on this evening.

I'm on holiday!!!!

Good evening all.  That is me on holiday for a week, just a stay at home one with plenty to do around the house but I am planning to do a bit of crafting along the way.  The temperature has dropped a few degrees here and the leaves are starting to turn colour telling me officially that is summer over - boo hiss!  Time to start digging out those winter woollies from the back of the wardrobe.

I dug Hamish Chef from Sugar Nellie out of my little pile of stamps to do a birthday card for the cook at work as it is her birthday tomorrow.  Used some cake stickers and a some peel off wording.  The challenges I have entered this card in for are:-

• The Sugar Bowl - Sketch and Birthday theme
• Charisma Cardz - Anything goes
• One Stitch in Time - Happy Birthday

Dressing-up Maggie

Evening all peeps.  Football is on the TV this evening so I have been playing at my table and managed to make a whole one card ..... lol.  Ho-hum, maybe I might have better luck tomorrow as no doubt there will be more sport on the box... hehehe.

I think this stamp from Sugar Nellie was one of my favourites of all time and I have coloured her with my paints and added some gold stickles to her necklace and handbag.  The design papers are from Papermania and also from Daisy & Dandelion paper packs.  Flowers are from stash as are the gems.  Leaves are cut out using my Woodware punch.  The challenges I have covered tonight are:-
