Friday again.

Can't believe it's the end of the week again!
Got loads done, but nothing that I aimed to do....so mixed week really!
Andrew starts nights shifts again for the first time in 3 years tomorrow after a re-jig at the office.
Not keen on being in alone, but I am sure Poppy will be on guard duty!

Never took pictures of card I made at class on Tuesday, two very different styles as usual.

This was the simple second card we made, we tend to a simple one if first one is a time consumer...

I like this, it is blue pearl card with white core so when you nail filed it it looks so pretty.
I still have to stick some more wee gems on it. Will add to list of things to do.

The ribbon was stamped too and that's something I will do again.



This one took a while to do but is cute!
Its a snow shaker & we used sugar inside!!!

Not a good picture, the acetate don't photograph well!
Still need to put a greeting on this one.
I often don't add greetings till I decided who I am giving them to.

So I tried this at home, using tiny little stars and am pleased with outcome.



Also this week as you may know Sammi has started a new challenge blog and asked myself and three others to be on the DT....yes I will keep reminding you of this fact! LOL

Sammi has a free image to download, you can use this wee fairy lass or any other image you want on the nbew blog so go have a lookie!

I have been playing with images of Angelique and trying to get to grips with new pro-markers.
Has anyone used a blender pen with them? I bought one but haven't tried it out yet.
Thanks Emma for info you emailed me on promarkers.

This is what I have done so far!



And i know it's November and Summer was over before we noticed it was here.....
but I was fed up doing Christmas cards!
Am entering this one on the ABC Challenge, this week being P for pink.




Am off to physio...have not done my arm exercises three times a day like I am ment to...
first week I have been naughty! You know they will know don't you!!!!
And then off to get my hair cut and coloured....
Haven't had highlights put in for a long while,....couldn't be bothered...
not sure what colours I will get this time....

have a great Friday and a lovely weekend

Carrbridge capers

Was a Beautiful day when I set off yesterday.
Takes me about 50 mins to get to Carrbridge, near the Cairngorms
Where my mate Bunty lives.

This is the road, I had to stop when I saw my first views of snowy peaks.
This view never fails to impress me.

Bunty's Labrador Cassie is 6 weeks older than Poppy dog
They both are mental when they get together....

I did try to take some photos,

But It is imposable to get them to stay still!!

Seriously! That was they best I could do !
I did catch a short video.

Cassie is the boss I think out of the two of them.
They both came in covered in slobbers and it was 5'C outside ,
they were giving off so much heat you could see them steaming !

Not having my laptop just is a real pain,
I am not spending much time upstairs on the computer
where as before I could watch Tv
and surf the net on my laptop,
hope he comes home soon!

Sammi's new blog! Crafty Musings!

Sammi is starting a new blog called Crafty Muse.

Good Luck Darl!!!

This is my offering using Angelique with a Birthday cake in my fave colour of purple!!!


I have others coloured in and ready to make cards with!

Very exciting!!!!!

clearing up & sorting stuff out

My craft area has become a bit neglected.
I am crafting during the day and then wandering downstairs to a
cosy living room and playing on the laptop.

But my poor laptop is sick so away to be looked at....
so I came upstairs and tidied my craft area and started completing various
bits and pieces I had started.

I am getting used to my new promarkers, I love them !
I still need to play with them a bit more to get a better effect,
but so far so good!

This one is one of my new soft centres from Sugar Nellie,
and is an image wallet for an image swap.

I am also entering it my time to craft. which this week is coffee and cream.

And last week I won in their prize draw!!! 10% off at Handy Hippo.

Wooooo Hooooo!



This one is for Nicola who has just graduated, I can't decided if I should put her name on it,
I think I will do that tomorrow.




These three cards were ordered by Shirleyanne's mate.

Hope she likes them.



This one is a wallet for an image swap and the image is Angelique By Sammi....
watch this space for more info about her new up coming blog!

With down loadable images that I will get to play with since I am on the DT for her new blog!!! wooooo Hoooooo!

Sammi has been tinkering with the images and they are looking really cute!

no crafting today.

Two years ago today our beautiful and wonderful god daughter Amy was killed in a car accident with her best mate Becca.
They were both just short of their 16th Birthday.

I can't believe its been two years.
We miss her and love as much as ever.
She missed out on meeting her older sister Sammi's beautiful baby daughter Brooke Amy.

Life is way too short.

Love your loved ones.
Be kind to someone today.


much love xxxx

do not adjust your screen.

do not adjust your screen.

We stupidly left the camera in the car over this cold spell and its all a bit blurry.
I am hoping when it warms up and forgives us,
normal service will be resumed!

But for just now the following photos are not gonna be of the best quality.

I found these wee kilted ginger bread men in our local green grocers shop.

I thought they were cute!


This weekend....I have started a few cards ATC's and wallet cards but only finished three cards!

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #5 has this lovely sketch by Jill

It was to be in pink, brown and white.

This one is my new new Twinkle stamp from Morehead, she is really cute. and comes with lots of wee stamps like rosehips and a few stars and other wee bits and bobs.
She is matted on pink mirror card, then on vellum and added some sparkle with sukura pens.
The backing paper is forever friends Christmas papers. Not a bear in site !!

Two wonderful cards were delivered to me this week.
I forget how wonderful it is to get nice surprises in the post!

This beautiful card is by lovely talented Natalie from NG Cards.





And this one is from Debbie from A card is for life. Using one of her fab downlodable Teddies.



The photo dose not do it justice, I might retake it tomorrow and repost it.
The third card I made is just not taking a good photo at all....

Time to go see what you have all been up to xxx

Happy Samhain!

Happy Samhain Everyone!!!
