I done it!

Woopppiieee I done it. I managed to post a card everyday this week.

I would like to think I could keep it up, But with working from home and normal day to day activities I just never know.

Tonight we are out with our son and his girlfriend and the in laws for a nice steak.

The biggest steak this place serves is 32oz if you can eat it with all the trimmings you get it free.

No I wont be having one of them. I love steak but no way could I eat one that big.

I plan to having a crafting day tomorrow , so hopefully I can get ahead with a few cards for next week.

Today's card I am not that happy with. I may have to have a play with it and add something.

Some favorites

Good morning all. I sit here having some peace before the rest of the house get up. It's lovely. I am itching to it get started again on  making cards after having a little break. But cant do much at the mo as I have to put all my craft stuff away until Christmas is over. But I think I may have to go and find my pens and some stamps and do some colouring.

I hope everyone has had a fab Christmas and would like to THANK everyone for all the wonderful comments you have all left over the year.

Our snow is melting nicely now. thank god.

Now as I have nothing new to show you at the moment I thought I would just show you a few of my favorite cards I have made over the year.

After uploading these I noticed that most cards with Tilda on all are ones using sweet Tilda. something tells me that this stamp must be one of my favs. Note to self use other Tilda stamps next year..

Well that's just a few of my favs for 2010.

I would like to

WISH EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

and thank you all again for the wonderful comments.

BIG HUGS

A Couple of Commissioned cards

I really need to pull my finger out as I have so many card orders to do its unreal. These to I have made today are what my sister in law has ordered .
I have been struggling getting into my cards these last couple of days as I have woke 3 mornings on trot with a headache. Today was the first day I woke with a clear head, but this last hour I have started feeling heading. prob some kind of  virus.
 Anyway my cards

Image Born to shop freebie stamps from magazine coloured with copics

Papers All my memories 12 x 12 papers

Martha Stewart border punch

Sentiment had from day dot

My second card for today

This is the first time I have used this stamp.

Ingredients

Papermania poppy stamp colour with water colour pencils

Cuttle bug Swiss dots folder

Ribbon from stash

Sentiment had from day dot.

On top of having lots of card orders, I also have a card party coming up in October. To which I thought I would get the knitting needles out and knit some scarves. As I thought its that time of year coming so why not knit a few, who knows they might sell.

I am using Wendy wisp featherlight chunky wool. If that means anythng to you.

I haven't done any knitting for years. but doing ok. using chunky needles too. did have to sit for a while and try and remember how to cast off at the end. but got there eventually.

 

Hope Everyone is having a good day even if the weather is dull, wet and cold.

Think I am now going to have a cup of tea, and a cpl of painkillers.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs
