What a Day!

Here's a card I made for a colleagues birthday this week.

It is the first time I have tried my hand with Angelina fibres!  I will certainly be doing this again!

I have entered into Simon Says Challenge  - All That  Sparkles!

Materials used

DPs from Polka doodles

Stamp is from Clarity Stamp

Card stock and sentiment is from craftwork cards

The day has been slightly traumatic – new washing machine, new dryer and 2 new showers fitted! That's me skint already!

Oh well, will just have to lock myself up in my bunker and create!

woyww

Not much going on tonight I’m afraid – that work thing gets in the way during the week – but I still try and fit in a little creativity!

There are so many birthdays this week – so I am putting together a quick card and have decided to try some Angelina fibres with my new Clarity Stamps – love it!

As part of my birthday pressie last week I dragged OH to IKEA and this unit is what we came back with  – I’ve roughly put my goodies in there but it is just not organised enough for me yet – but that can wait till I have time!

As you can see I’m taking over the spare room – now any suggestions on how I can get rid of these golf sticks  in the corner – you could get a nice comfy chair in there or another unit??!!!………………………..

GD Spot Funky Fairy Challenge - Touchy Feely!

Some great news - well for me anyhow!
I have been asked to be the Guest designer for Funky Fairies Challenge!  Thanks guys  - it was a great birthday "pressie"!
Here is my card for this weeks challenge – Touchy Feely!
I just love these really funky papers, they are so cheerful - and boy do we need that now!
The papers are from Doodlemental download- ITS FREE – yes - you heard right - get them here and go create!
In fact there are sooooooo many freebies here if you look closely!
Now I'm sure some of you will have noticed that I am the Crazy Cat Woman and this stamp set from Woodware, called Groovy Cats,  just goes so well with these papers.
The textures I have added are flocking, (try not to cough or sneeze, or even breathe heavily when doing this - as I found out!) glossy accents and I distressed the cardstock edges - I love to do this - so therapeutic!

I am so looking forward to seeing every ones touchy feely creations"!  Come on everyone lets go create!



PS I am trying out Windows Live writer – this is an apology in case of errors cos I don't think I’ve quite “cracked” it yet!

On a sad note

day of Rest???

Why is that everything seems to break-down at once?

Its going to be an expensive week – both showers have gone kaput, the washing machine wont drain and the tumble dryer has packed up!

Mind you I cant complain, they are all over 17 years old and have never been a problem! But WHY all go at once!!!!

So , today has been an expensive day – but for another reason – I went to Stamp magic at Doncaster – I wasn't going to spend a lot but then of course you are drawn in – I am a sucker for a stamp and a juicy inkpad!

Onto a challenge, well 8 actually!

2 Things I have Learnt Today......
