The end is nigh!!!!!

Well it will be soon, only got about 10 boxes left to unpack yippee!!!

As you will see I have been making cards & all my stuff is now sorted out, so I really have no excuses now lol....my mojo seems to be working overtime tho, think its wanting to make up for the week without making anything lol

I will be taking pics of my new little crafty space, when the light is right, because I think right at this moment, its looking like we are gonna get wet again.

Last night my old neighbour Ammara & her boyfriend Pete came around for a takeout, & great fun was had by all...she is one of the things I am gonna miss most about our old house. We didn't spend loads of time together but we did get together maybe once a month for a crafty night...gonna have to try & carry on with them me thinks lol I hope you are all having a fab weekend..

Hi blogging friends hope your all enjoying you Bank Holiday weekend (if you in the UK that is) what horrible weather we are having at the moment....its what I call total pants. We have done nothing all weekend, I made a challenge card yesterday while Nige and the girls played on the Wii, then we nipped to Wilkos and got some bedding plants for my baskets....today spent all day making one challenge card and playing on the Wii...oh we also took Charlie out for a quick walk that turned into a 3 hour walk...and I wanna go to Derby tomorrow to see if we can see the Peregrine Falcons feeding...

Anyway onto my card for today lol...when I first saw this sketch I thought I'm gonna give this one a miss this week I think, but I sat down and played with different papers and after colouring in 2 different images I decided on this one, and considering to begin with I didn't like it, I think its turned out ok.....

I would like to enter this into the challenge over at Totally Papercrafts as it was their sketch I followed.

Distressing!!!!

This is my first attempt at using Tim Holtz distressing inks...kinda watched him all day on QVC, and was totally blown away by what he can do.....
So as I needed to do a card for Niges friends lad I decided to use Mikey from Charmed Crafts and enter him in their challenge....
Not quite sure if I've got this distressing right yet but practice makes perfect...and I think I need to get some more inks as only got two, didn't want to spend loads then not use them....

My attempt at easel cards....

When it come to my cards I'm not very adventurous, and tend to stay away from different folds...but after doing a shutter card before Christmas and then getting totally addicted to them lol I decided to give making an easel card ago...and yes I love them and yes they are sooooooooo easy to make....and here is the result...

The first one is for the challenge over on Pollycraft where they are asking for 'Things With Wings' and as I absolutely love this little Star Fairy I thought I would use her....and for a challenge over on Digital Tuesday where they are asking for different folds, and to use a digi image.
