sick as a dog

I made these hangers yesterday,
and had planned to go to
the craft shop and get some more
to make for pressies,
but woke up this morning
as sick as a dog!

So no more hangers to be made this week.

This one is painted with a base coat of
Anne Sloan chalk paint,
which is just a treat to use.

And this one,
is stained using Tim Holtz inks.
The ink ended up looking
green rather than the blue it is
if you use it on paper.
But I liked it anyway.

The main stamp under the sentiment
is a penny black that I found,
after it was long lost
in the midden
formally known as my craft area....

The idea is based on a project from the last
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun day,
which was so much fun.

well...
Hope you are all doing good this Monday xx

Love Teen xx

birdies and puppies

Well....I am back again,
my old laptop died
and my wee netbook
is good for surfing but
a nightmare for blogging.

I have a new laptop
(Thanks Hubby!)

I am slowly getting used to
the new keyboard layout.
I keep hitting what I think is the
shift key, but it activates
the web and publishes
the post before I am done....


I also dont know how to activate
a spell check on this or facebook
when I leave a comment or write a post.
So many errors may appear
until I get that sorted out.


~~~~~T~~~~~

The next three pics are from
Kates card class at papercrafts.

Firstly.....a door hanging.
Sorry for colours, I haven't
figured out photo editing just yet either.

~~~~~T~~~~~


I love this next layered card.
It was meant to have some golden glitter on it,
but I haven't got round to that yet.

The white card is hammered,
and lifted up on foam pads.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Lastly, I really love this card.
The wee birdie is a stampin up punch.

I didn't line up my scollops properly.

Lastly....I had an amazing time at the SECC,
bumped into some friendly faces,
& thanks to a demo from the amazing Kath,
I can now use my fiskers shape cutter
that I have had for a few years
and never been able to use!!

It was mega busy on the Saturday,
and also amazing how many rude people
you can fit into such a packed place!
There was some real crazy shoppers!!!

My pal who drove me down
bought me this beautiful
Penny Black stamp.

I bought these 8 inch pre cut cards.
but to be honest they are
pretty thin & not sure I will use them
too often due to that.


Right......
a puppy update.

Bella Boo the blondie is 8 1/2 months,
and as cheeky as anything.

Now it looks like Bella and Poppy
arehaving a violent fight
but they like to play rough!
They chase each other,
hide and pounce on each other
all the time.
Teeth clack and fur is pulled....
but no tears are shed,
and they both go back for more.

This is their bed.
AKA the playpen.

Is Poppy smiling???

I love this next one the best.


Poppy fell asleep with her head resting on
Bella's paw.

Hope you are all well.
Much love Teen xx
