Sunday Sketch and Stamp 11

Where has my Joie de Vivre gone? I have not wanted to "craft" all week!
Mind you, this week is up there with "most stressful" of weeks and I have to admit I'm exhausted - and its not over yet!
And the main cause of it all - bureaucracy!
Anyhow enough of my whingeing!

OH came home from work yesterday, creeping and crawling - he had forgotten his bosses birthday and asked if I would make a belated card for everyone to sign!
Probably just what I needed to de-stress a little.
So here it is - I used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp who are also in Pink Petticoat heaven!
All papers are from Pink Petticoat, as is dig-stamp - coloured with chalks and lots of glamour dust!
I love making my own flowers - great way to use up bits or paper!

Here's hoping the week eases off!

Sketch Saturday 68

This is my card for this weeks Sketch Saturday.
I love these digi-stamps from Pink Petticoat - this young lady is "Cupcake"!
I coloured her with chalks and then sugar coated her with Glamour Dust.
Papers are BG, Indian Summer.
The flowers I made from paper leftovers - ended up taking much longer than I had first thought!!

Nighty Night, off to solve a murder with Miss Marple!

Hugs

Spent up! And PBSC 66

Well - the Great Northern Papercraft Extravaganza was sooooooooo busy - a lot more than the last two times that I have been! And it was soooo hot today!
I didn't stay long - the majority of the stands are in the same place each time - I had a list and off I went and did manage to get most things on it - with a few extra stamps (Tim Holtz Christmas ones and a Whiff of Joy :-)) and ink pads (distress inks - well they were on spec)!


- oh........ and glitter(stickles for Chrimbo)!


- oh....... and paper...... and card (Craftwork Cards, Blonde Moments)!


- and ...........some charms(Hobby House for Chrimbo and Halloween)!


- think that's it!

LOL

I made this card this afternoon for the PBSC, using the sketch that they had provided.
All papers and sentiment are from Pink Petticoat, stamp is from Penny Black, Joyous, flowers made from paper left overs!

Off to watch the X-factor!

I have a crafty "shopping list"............

....................and am going to the Great Northern Papercraft Extravaganza tomorrow in Harrogate!
Excited? Me? Whatever makes you think that?
And will I be "good" and just stick to the list??





HELL NO!



Anyone else going??

Feeling Sentimental!

Tomorrow my "baby" starts 6th Form College!
Where did the time go?
At 16 he now towers over me and exhibits all the usual male teenage traits - his use of the English language is now very basic, conversations consist of a grunt here and a ugh there and his bedroom, otherwise known as the "Cave", scares me, and I have to admit there are days when I haven't the courage to venture in.

Where did that sweet boy go, who used to come for a cuddle and like nothing more than snuggling in my bed? Now, I am nothing but an embarrassment to him, he walks at least 6ft in front of me if we go anywhere and I am now know as - "Mother, you're a freak"!
LOL ( if I'm honest I do work at this title - I love a good wind up!)

He would be mortified if he knew I had written this, but then that's part of my freaky nature! I have a reputation to live up to after all!
Anyhow, Jake if you ever read this I want you to know how much I love you and that I am proud of you!
Just make sure you work hard at college - no slacking off now! And, yes you know I'll make sure that you don't!

"What part of cats dont like water dont you understand".......

I had coloured in this image yesterday - I love these cat stamps!
And was not knowing what to do with it, until I came across this challenge - Crafty Cardmakers which had a great sketch that just suited it!

Well, then I couldn't find a backing paper in the right colour - so what does one do?
Yup - make your own!

All stamps are from Design House C'attitude plate, rectangular paper is from BG, Granola.
