Paul's Aunties Birthday Card

Hi all

Sorry I've not posted for a while it's been mad here as usual.  We've just found out that Paul's last day working in the RAF after 22 years will be March 22nd 2013.  We've got until August 26th which will be Paul's official last day to find a job and somewhere to live (deep joy).  So Paul's in the process of going on Re-settlement courses and looking for a job, which under the current climate could be hard so keep all your fingers crossed for us.

In the mean time I've been making my Mum's cards for her and trying to make our cards and presents too.  I'll try and take some photos of them and add them to my blog.  Before I'll have to pack up my craft things starting with my Christmas stock.

So here's one of my latest cards I'm sure I've not added to my blog yet and it's one I've made for one of Paul's Aunties.  They have their own horse so hence why I've chosen this image.

Hope everyone is okay and having a good weekend.  Enjoy bonfire night if your doing anything.

I hope all of our American friends are okay and have survived 'Sandy' I couldn't believe what I was watching on the CNN news.  Take care all of you.

Tilda 30th Birthday Card

Hi all

This is a card I've made for one of my Niece's 30th Birthday cards.  Can't believe she's 30 I can remember when she was born, I feel old lol.

I've coloured it in with my Promarkers and it is a Tilda backing paper too.

Hope your all okay with all the awful weather we've been having.  Take care.

Well it's Team Karen's 2nd to last Challenge at Digi Doodle Shop Challenges.  It's Challenge #124 Handmamde Flowers.  As normal there is a $10 gift certificate to spend at the Digi Doodle Shop.  So here's my DT card.

The gorgeous image I've used is 1800 Vintage Dress 7.  I've coloured the image in with spectrum noir pens  which I've recently purchased and I have to say I'm really pleased with them.  I've punched two different flowers out of the same backing paper I've used then I've coloured them in with the two darker shades that I've used on the image and shaped the flowers.  I've punched a little leaf out and coloured them in then arranged them on the card.  I've also added a silver gem in the centre of the flowers.

I hope you like the card.  Please visit the other fantastic Design Team blogs on Karen's team to see  their gorgeous creations.

So come and join in with this Challenge and let us see what 'Handmade Flowers' you create.  Thanks for looking.

Some Sad News

We got some sad news a couple of days a go that the Digi Doodle Shop is closing down and so will the Challenge Blog.  I've not been with the Team long but have loved every minute of it and using the fantastic stamps.  For the last month they are selling all the stamps for $1 each.  If you make a purchase please can you mention my name and blog in the special instructions and I will receive the same number of stamps that you order.  Thank you.

I just wanted to take the time to wish Judy and her Mum or the luck for the future.

Jewellery set

Hi all

Hope your having a lovely weekend and the weather is behaving itself where you are.  We had awful weather yesterday afternoon the thunder was so loud and I don't think I've ever seen the rain quite as bad as that before.  I'm on my own this weekend well me and the dog.  Paul went back down to London on Monday to help at the Parlympic Games.  He had a whale of a time doing the Olympics, mind you it was long hours and hard work.

Mum and Dad came to see me this week which was lovely to see them as I've not seen them since December just before Xmas.  Don't know were this years gone.  It was great to spend a few days with them as they've not been to our house here since we've lived here this time round.  So I'm back  on my own now until the Games finished.  Lot's of time for crafting.

I'm having acupuncture on Wednesday for my back which I've not had before.  I'm a bit nervous but I keep getting told you can't feel the needles so we'll see if it does my back any good.

Well this is a jewellery set I've made as a 21st Birthday gift.  Thought I'd show some of my jewellery for a change.  Hope you like it.

Hope you all have a good week.

Thanks for visiting and please leave me a comment.

Thank you.
