Challenge card

Opps guess who forgot to add a card yesterday !!! I meant to add this one after the challenge results were shown, but it went clean out of my head... (nothing new)... So will add this now, and treat you all to another later.. well not sure if treat is the correct word, but you know what I mean LOL..
I sat and painted up three images yesterday but had one of those days I actually didnt fancy making a card... now that doesnt happen often... but papers and image all ready to go... reddy being the clue !!!lol... infact its going to be a bit too red I think.. might have to have a rethink of one of the papers.. (I dont normally do red, but wanted to use the flowers I bought) LOL..
so, will catch up later and add another card as soon as Ive done my bit for society ... and gone and seen Mum. Have a good day...

Just when you thought it was safe

LOL... Im here... just, by skin of teeth, with a card for you. Well I didnt want to let you down now did I ! LOL... very quick card, as already had the image painted up, and wanted to try out another variation of the wow card.. ish... with a twist... (that be the colouring in of the SK image then) hehe...
have straightened out the flower since photo, (glue not dry, thankfully), so that the dangly, dangles.... well much better than it did.
one of my most fav images... and I know I use it a lot, and Im sorry for that, but it was painted up ready to go.... so.. without further ado.... here you go, Card for the Day . I havent added a sentiment as yet, but will do... another day xxx I have made others today, but you have to wait !!!!!!... keep watching this space .... !!!!!!! :)

PB for change

Been whizzing round like a headless chook again... not stopped all day yet nowt to show for it... how DOES that happen?
Got a parcel in the post............................ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...... cant tell you what just yet .............. but ... watch this space.................. :) ..........
Sorry about the circles again... but not hidden them as yet. lol.. and this card was half done anyway, thats my excuse and Im sticking to it. One of my fav sketches and found some new papers... well not new... just hidden from self. hehe... as one does. ! ... will be back tomorrow at some stage.. and not sure what with... time will tell.... thanks for visiting....

Similar but not the same

Done similar card to yesterdays white on white, but just cream today, as the flowers matched perfectly. Wasnt really in mood so its not a lot different im afraid....
But I will get the creative juices a flowing again and come up with something else soon , along this line.
Feeling bit sorry for self at mo, been to dentist.... and had root treatment done.... lots of injections... well felt like it... think it only two... but I dont like that bit at all.... was ok once had stopped shaking so violently from panic. Thought that it all over and done with... then just as leaving, dentist tells me to make another appointment as more work needed on that tooth.... doh.... think I need tranquilizing. lol....
Got half baked card on go... so will put that on blog tomorrow hopefully, and I think I best hide my round nesties from myself, cos getting used far too much of late. lol.... I do have other ones, honest... but I love the circles.... as you have probably noticed lol.
Off to do some h........k... grrrr.. what a waste of time that is... only gets dirty and messy again... think a family of 20 come in overnight just to mess everything up and throw muck all over the place, cos it sure cant be me making all th is mess ! :)

Something different

Thought I would do something different for a change... been wanting to try this idea out for ages, but kept getting distracted with all my lovely backing papers lol (and SK images etc).. I would love to try and do a few more along these lines... but I NEED white white flowers... or invest in a retro punch.. !! Anyway... its a shame I added the three lilac flowers, cos think it would have looked better without.. too late now lol... Will have another bash.. at least I know Im not locked into one sort of card... cos was getting a bit worried that I might get pretty paper withdrawel lol
Still got raging toothache... but got appointment tomorrow thank goodness.. not that I like going to dentist... terrified.. however, the pain is worse than the fear. !
right Im out of here.... still got to sort that award out today too... must find the time to do that.. and also find out how I add my name to the list !! lol.... take care all.. and have a good day x

Blue and Green

Who says they cant be seen together?? I think they look ok. See no pink no lilac in sight ! and yet still girly, still delving into all my papers... and coming across all sorts of pretty ones :) some I just stroke and put back thou, as we do. If wee dog lets me escape I may even manage to get another card on the go today, now that would be something new lol... its a toss up, garden, housework or craft room........... erm...... not much contest there is there. ! Needs and wants comes to mind... hehe... and I soooo NEED and WANT to go into my craft room... as for the other two, well... only one of those word has to be used... and its not the latter. so guess what wins... catch you all later... x

Morning everyone... Its me... Ruby T.

Well I got to go home in minute... so I thought I quickly send you update of my night and morning with Nannie... she not seem too happy today, not sure why.. Im very lively today, infact I was very lively last night too. Nannie come to bed about 1am thinking I be fast sleep... but as soon as she come in bedroom I woked up and said HIYA... and scared nanny nearly to death.. hehe.. then I talked to nannie but she said I had to go back to sleep, so I thought ok I will... for now... Nanny was very tired. I kicked, and tossed and turned and stuck my feet in nannies belly, and in her back, and kicked her boobies cos I nearly upside down by then... then I had to get back right way, so kicked nannie in all sorts of places .... allll night she said, I think she eggsagerating... she say she had NO sleep at all... I slept... I just wriggle a lot, apparently, and I talk all night too, I dont remember any of that, cos I sleep like good girl, if nannie sleeping like good girl too she not know I wriggle and kick and talk all night !
then at 6am... I WIDE awake... and I talked to Iggle Piggle, and Ellie, and my pillow, and nannie and I talk in Ruby talk, too... and I played and made LOTS of noise cos I heard doggy bark so I done barking noises too.... soo loud cos I found I can screach really really loud now and really high pitched too... i got really good at that this morning... then I had doggy bark again, so i barked back... again.. lots... then said Nannie you sleep???? I think she was aawake, cos she moving... so I poked her in eye to see if open or shut... they opened !!! I did warn her.. cos said EYE.. before the poke.... then I said EAR... but for some reason Nannie got up beofre I could test her ears to see if they awake too.
We come downstairs and I wanted my milk... Nannie wanted smokkie stick and hot juice... but I said I want milk.. so I had that first.. Nannie big she can wait.. I got dry mouth cos thinjk it been talking all night.. so I needed milk. Nannie had her coffee...(hot juice)... she not seem to wake up after one cup... so went for another, but I wanted my puffs then... dont like milk on them, so had in bowl dry... and dropped the bowl... nannie said rude word I think.... only half of them dropped thou, the rest landed in my lap, so we put them back in bowl.... then i not want any more so I tried to put lid on... nannie cleaned up the ones on floor cos the doggies not like them... they stick to all sorts of things... like nannies slippers, xevs paws, my pjs... my toys... anyway, when I try putting lid on... well... i sort of.... dropped the rest of them all over the floor again... nannie defo said rude word that time cos I heard her !! ... i got of chair and still had lots on chair... so after nannie picked them all up off floor again, i thought I would help and brushed them all off of chair so nannies chair all nice and clean for her... cant understand why she went into kitchen and had head hanging outside back door.???
Muggi been shaking allll morning... nannie said its fear... me not understand that...
I tipped ALLLL my toys ALL over the louinge floor... why?> cos I can. didnt want to play with them, just thought Muggi might like to have ostikle course on floor.... she keep bumping into toys, she not very good at ostikle course, maybe cos Nannie said she blind??? Muggi went for sleep in bathroom upstairs for some peace and quiet. !!!
Did you know, doggy biskits float in water bowl??? Oh I still after them biskits I not have last night, I not forget them, so thought I go find in cupboard, but mummy said no... so i kept shutting the doors.... lots... and banging ... lots... till the cupboard door broked.... Daddy had to fix it... he not happy... he got poorly head me thinks...
Right I got to go now, I could stay and talk LOTS more.. but Nannie needs a rest...
until next time everybodies.... lots of love and hugs.... Ruby Tyler... aged two xxx

My visit by Ruby Tyler aged Two !!!

Hello everyone...
did you see, Ive had a birthday since I last wrote to you all... Im soo big now.. Im two..
Ive given nannie her orders for the night, so best she behave and do as I told her, ie... Im not going to bed unless Iggle piggle is on tv... she said something about not having dvd cd or bbc... not sure which... so she put... Elledale on for me, dont go much on that at all.. not quite in the midnight garden now is it... more like in a garage... I dont do cars.... well I like my lego ones, but not watching them on television.
Nannie gave me my milk... which I drunk, after she threatened to take it away and drink it herself, cos I said NO... I learnt the horrible word too now.. and I use it ALL the time... now they know how I feel when they say it to me all the time !!!! :)
Ive had my story, didnt go much on that either, sure Daddy and Mummy say different words than Nannie, maybe she cant read?? I think she just making it up as she goes along, she thinks I stupid and not know the story, I do so... !
So Im supposed to be sleeping in Nannies big bed... yeah right... like she can keep me in that ! .. I escaped.. was ok, got out no problem.. even with a guard thingy and lots of pillows to stop me, it was like climbing Mount Evercrest... but I managed it... trouble is... I cant get back in it now and I am soooo tired... think Nannies bed bit bigger than my one.. think that cos Nannie got longer legs than me !
Ive had a play with the doggies... Muggi looks so pretty with stickers on her... as does Xev, and also Nannies floor and Nannies sofa. :)
Wanted a biskit but i not allowed, cos threw my toast over the table and nannie said i had to put back on plate.. I dont think so... doesn she not recognise a paddy??
Well thats the third time ive had Nannie upstairs.. last resort.. tried EVERYTHING else... only one thing left to do to get self down stairs... poo in my nappy ! :) Cant understand why Nannie looks SOOOO discustard... its quite normal you know.. think she said somethink about smelly bum and words I not quite understand yet... but Im learning ALLLL the time.. cos I two now.. and cant wait to be three... Bit tired now everyone, so th ink I might just have to have a little bit of shut eye... just the one eye though,... dont want Nannie thinking I sleeping.. got to keep her on her toes... cos I still got hump I never had my biskits .. if i get time in morrow I write again... nite nite xxx Ruby Tyler aged two xxx

Sarah Kay

Also why did i decide to burn all the stuff I would have shredded, had I have had a shredder that is... on a lovely warm spring day???? now got a grateful of mess and was rather warm this afternoon lol... wish id left til tonight, that temp has defo dropped somewhat, or it might be where I been spit roasting self on a open fire half the day LOL..
Thank you Karen for the image... another stamp I MUST add to my small collection... :) and thank you Debs for the sentiment .... I also need more sentiment stamps :) oh and as my friend Lynn is away at mo... I can safely say... I havent got enough backing papers hehe... bit like the ribbon and flowers... never got the one I want.

Another Blossom

As Jak caught me unawares and put her lastest free sheet up early... I had to make this up very quickly so you could see what another beautiful blossom she has done for you. If you would like to see other ideas on how to use the blossom, visit Toni and Karen. Im sure they will have made some stunning creations.
Right quick dash to shops... for my bottle of wine for tonight... then race back and sort out this challenge !! well I can try anyway x
Recipe.. cos been asked to let you all know, was.. Jaks backing papers, Jaks blossom, (obviously) lol c/b embossing folder, which after running through the CB I sanded off the embossed bit with a sanding block, so that the white showed throu, stamp and cardstock from stash.

Pink it is..

Finally done a pink card... a stamp yet again Ive had for ages and not used... not sure if will again, or as someone suggested, maybe use a different ink next time.. Not having a good day today, but will try and get back on the craft wagon and get cracking tomorrow, and will hopefully be feeling a bit happier than have the last few days... Why you ask... well its been 2 years since my Dad passed away... and I miss him dreadfully, they say it gets easier.... not sure when that is ! ... sorry to be on such a downer at mo... but the Joker in the Pack will be back on form soon. x

Mothers Day Card

Still in the lilac theme... sooo trying to do another colour honest lol.. but another little pot/vase of lilac flowers that I liked.. thought these were pansies too untill I had finished cutting them out.. and realized they roses lol... cant say Ive seen roses this colour, however.. !
Made this for my 'Mum' a darling lady I have known for about 7 years now, who I met and go and visit her at least once every week.. and we put the the world to rights, we chat and laugh, have lunch, I take her shopping, and lose her on a regular basis, lol.. not deliberately, think I need one of those springy wrist things on her that they put on kiddies nowdays, she has a tendency to dissapear around corners If I turn my back on her for a mo, needle and haystack comes to mind in the mega Tesco store. !!! she has more or less adopted me as her other daughter... I love her to bits and wanted to do something special for her. As much as she loves my 'normal'cards.. she doesnt do little girls without mouths lol... but as I tell her, thats cos they should be seen and not heard hehehe. She adores flowers and likes decoupage... so I hope this fits the bill nicely.
Im thinking pink ... pink pink.... not sure if will work... but if I say it enough it might lol.. catch you all tomorrow... xx
I did trim the ribbon AFTER I took the piccy lol..

Pot of Pansies

Well it might not be quite pink... lol but it is something different, Rome wasnt built in a day... :) a very fiddly deco by Nikky,but I so liked it I had to have a bash at making it up, I was tempted to cut bits off in the end, as really was struggling with the cutting out on this, its not perfect, but if you dont look too closely.. its ok LOL.. Dug out my pansy tapestry stamps too and sat and had a play, didnt really need to do much else to it. I might add a little tag to it at some point if needed to send to someone special...
hope you like. and thank you to Nikky xx

CANDY !

Guess the hersey bars... or choccie bars if you English ! lol... ive had my guess cos I so NEED these punches by MS..... what a generous gal... go check it out. xx

Brown and Blue ... Just for you

Another Gorjuss Girl.. such a sweet image. Ive now decided I not only need hundreds of stamps, but... (dont tell my friend Lynn) I need more papers... its getting a bit like the ribbon, never got the right ones .. I searched high and low for something with brown and blue in it... could I find any... well ... no.. as you can see.. I really did think I must have some... maybe I wasnt looking right place? lol ... I now feel a pink day coming on.. LOL.. now pink papers I do have plenty of.. :) Im also feeling the need to try something new... although Im not too sure what yet.. dont be at all surprised if tomorrows card is another cutie image with flowers and papers LOL...

She saw seashells ....

Painted this image up ages ago.... infact a very very very long time ago, half mounted it.. and never got around to making up into card... tried that today.... and ended up binning it.... got told off by fellow crafter and friend, Lynn,.... lol.... so retrieved it from bin, added some more colour to it, remounted it.. and this is the outcome.... I had already made the flower before I binned the thing... so.. mustard and lilac it was. ! LOL

Gorjuss Girl

By Sugar Nellie... and I think she is just Gorjuss. Would like to thank Bev for the image... thanks hun... enjoyed playing today. hope Ive done her proud. xx
In keeping with this weeks challenge set by moi... its lilac and green, just a different sketch.

Got Spots before my eyes :)

Another blooming blossom or is it budding blossom?? LOL whichever... its made a loverly flower, I bet you are all wondering where the sheets come from for this one.... well.. you will all have to keep your eyes peeled on Jak's blog.... cos they will be coming out............... soon !!! :)... well we do like to tease you..
