Good morning everyone... hope you all managed to get an extra hour in bed...
me.....? not a chance... infact I was up earlier than normal.... think said dog thought she heard them say clock go FORWARD a hour !!!! grrrr... never mind... done my farming, cooking and fed the fish.. lol...
and just about to escape to my little haven for an hour or two until daughter turns up to move some more stuff from lounge for me, as kitchen units coming this week, and no where to put them... and no they not flat packed ! lol...
This has got to be one of my most fav images at mo, I know I only used it a couple of weeks ago, but I love it... and its a dream to colour. It is a free image by Inger, please drop by her blog and if take it, remember to thank her, and also to show her your makes... so kind of her to give this away...
Yes, usual copics.... although I am seriously thinking I might get the water colours out today, for a change... although I get the feeling I might find them a bit wishy washy now. :), we shall see.
I cuttle bugged the top half of card with the leaf folder, turned it around and done the bottom half with the swiss dots, added a piece of silk ribbon and tied... stamped sentiment and... one card done.. sounds easy when you put it like that doesnt it lol. (so how come it took forever??) lol

Will be glad to get my photo corner back... I know that much.. these shots are dreadful... ooooh just noticed... not coloured in the little bears nose lol.. oppps.... best go do that now.. bless him.

Will catch up with you all laters..... off to play... as feel the need ..:)
Enjoy rest of weekend peeps... hugs J xx

Funky Christmas

Well this is certainly nothing like the other cards I have been making of late, but good reason for that.. This is my entry for two challenges this week, one for PTC and the other for PBSC. So have managed to combine them into one card. (just)... This is way out of my comfort zone.. so completely different to what I would normally do, but well, its worth a go at something out of the norm. (and since when have I been normal anyway LOL). Just hope Ive got the sketch bit correct, still none to sure how far you can deviate away from them... so fingers crossed ive done it right. Am also going to see if I can do this ... my card is here , bit.. somehow.. not holding out much hope for that !!! lol... but I will give it a try..
Still not sorted out the 7 peeps I sposed to nominate as yet... but will try and get round to that asap. I know for a fact I have been lucky enough to also be given an award, one from Val and one from Louise Emma.... I promise I will try and sort them too... and I am extremely pleased that you have thought me 'worthy'of this award.. thank you both so much.
Right onwards and upwards... time to post the card and keep fingers crossed that at least some of you will like it !!! Its different.. thats all I can say... oh... the theme was "Funky Christmas"and not to use traditional colours... so here goes !!! xx Have a good day folks. x

As promised

This one has certainly got the ahhhhh factor.. lol Ordered by customer... spec. - for a couple that rescues cats and dogs. I made the backing paper myself with a small stamp, and gold metallic ink pad. added a bit of glitter glue here and there. But, didnt want 'real' animals on card. Also, didnt want deco... as going through the post. Hope this meets approval. (am going to send this to Fiskerettes for the challenge as it fits in nicely with the spec)

Right back to my cutting out.... and find some new batteries for my camera, as my charger seems to be dead, never mind the batteries.

Black , white and a hint of peach.

Good morning everyone..
Wow... I certainly had a few visitors on here yesterday... and some lovely comments, so thank you everyone that visited and also a special thank you to those that left me a comment.. always love reading them. I know its cos you lot are sooo nosey and wanted to see what I won LOL.. and I bet half you didnt scroll down and see the cards I made... cos got side tracked by lots of scrummy candy that is on offer at the moment LOL... (shame on you LOL)... hehe...
Well today.. I cant lock self away in craft room... sob.... as its lunch with 'mother'today... then Slimming World tonight... and if I have only lost half a pound again I will not be happy... Only had one slip up this week.... a double vodka jumped in my glass one night.. (after my állowed'quota LOL).. well it was the weekend... :) but apart from that... Ive been sooo good... so fingers crossed.. it might even be a whole pound LOL
Done something a bit different today.... dont usually go in for black and white as such... but was having a play around with a background stamp.. and it came out quite well, (better than expected much to my surprise LOL)... so I added some glitter to it (not that you can see)... then matt and layered it a bit.. obviously used my nesties.. and added some silk flowers... the colours are actually peachy ... not orange although maybe the ribbon is erring on the side of ! lol.. best match I could get.. not sure what you think to this one.. but still its a bit different, and if no one likes it, dont have to do anything similar again , do I ? also made a quick c/bugged xmas card too...
tomorrow I REALLY must do that blasted baby card that is on order, or the twins will be ready to leave school time I get round to it LOL
Have a good day folks... and thank you for visiting...
I have to move myself... as sooo need to go and get my daily fix of blog hopping LOL xx

Stamped background

Been playing with my stamps again... will get the hang of this lol. Stamped the card with clear ink pad, and used White Detailed embossing powder,.... then a lovely decoupage sheet from Bev, thanks hun...the sentiment was inked in blue, and clear embossing powder over the top. nesties used.. dont you just love them. !
Now this is wear I might get side tracked... as my new prima flowers have just turned up, you know the ones that just jumped in my basket whilst I was looking at them for a friend !!!! ... and I know I should be making Christmas cards.... and I also know I have a clear desk !! hehe.... so nothing xmassy on there at all !!! so ... do i play with flowers.. or do I crack on with the xmas ones !!! oh never mind the baby card I need to make... oh and a birthday card with cats ! ... flowers and cats.. now would they go together? lol.
well either way... best get a wriggle on... and do something ! or day be gone again and I wont have moved from the computer ! Hope everyone has a good day.... :)

On a roll

Good morning everyone... I would like to thank everyone that takes the time to visit my little corner of blogland and also for leaving such lovely comments..it warms the cockles of me heart so it does, lol its also so nice to see that not only have I got my 'normal'followers popping by (I use the word normal loosley LOL)... but that a few new faces have appeared from various places around the world, how nice is that.. I feel quite honoured that time as been taken to drop by. I always try to visit people blogs that leave a comment (plus ones I already go to regularly anyway)... my list is getting longer and longer of peeps to visit.. lol.. soon I will be needing to go blog hoppping in my sleep so that I dont miss anything. lol
Luckily I still have two cards left to show you, ... phew... glad I held back hehe, or I would be cardless today... and now that Im on a roll with daily cards I didnt want to let the side down... (plus Karen said I couldnt do it)... not sure how long I can keep it up... but im trying my best.... so for today... a stamp of a church I bought last year, which has been water coloured, and the other card is a topper I made from a 12 x 12 sheet... (they have not photographed very well due to bad lighting and me being impatient).. the colours are much richer in real life,
Im just waiting for my new prima flowers to turn up so I can do another card similar to a few days ago, I still love that little card.. I blame a certain friend for my purchases of more flowers... you know who you are !!! lol... asking me where did I get them from... and encourging me to go drool over them again... and then they jumped in the basket before I could do a thing..and I know they will be here tomorrow, cos I ordered them from Cuddly buddly,.. who are super fast on delivery... and I cant wait to get my mitts on them...
right enough waffling... im sure you only here to see what wonderful creations I have come up with today ROFLMAO... well ok... see what I made lol... so before I bore you all to sleep.... :) Hope you like xx

Card of the day !

What a busy day Ive had... two cards and another half done.. then daughter turned up... so... like a fool, I tidied up my craft room, well I had to, as she wouldnt have got in there otherwise. ! lol.... and I think I tidied away my mojo at the same time.. although not too sure which drawer I put it in... why do I work better in chaos? The ideas were flowing.. quicker than the hands could keep up....even stamped up my own backgrounds... now thats very adventurous for me ! lol... (this is a fav of mine over the past few days.... I really love this card).. When daughter went, after spending a lovely afternoon on her scrapbooks... I attempted to 'get going'on another card... but.. sat there looking at an empty desk for more than enough time.. so gave up.. maybe tomorrow a better day and my creativity will return.. or be unearthed from whichever space I put it into ! lol
so for today.. I will add my fav card of the week... (so far LOL)..
