It poured with rain most of yesterday and I wanted to craft and most of the things that were in the bathroom have been put in front of the things I wanted to craft with. Still I managed it in the end. The bathrooms almost finished so things can get back to normal. I have used my new embossing folder (I love this, think I shall be using it lots) and a lotv stamp, its one of the first that I bought and I haven't used it for ages. It reminds my of when my sisters and I were little, trying to take the dog on the swing, trouble was the seat wasn't that wide!!!<br />

I decided to make a male card for a change, as I hadn't made one for a while and it was an excuse to use another stamp that hadn't seen any ink. I've got a few male birthdays coming up so I decided not to add a sentiment until I decide what I am going to do with it.<br />

I've just finished work for today, just tomorrow morning to go and then I can relax. Quite a few challenges are asking for Christmas cards at the moment and I have been looking for an excuse to use one of the other LOTV stamps that fell into my basket the other day. I found my card quite hard to photograph today (too little light in the back garden and too much in the front). This image is quite large so I was struggling with a layout until I remembered some cards that I bought from Hunkydory.<br />

I would like to say hello to my new followers and apologise for not having been around much last week. I will try and catch up with you all later. Bit of a change in the weather today, after such a fabulous weekend. I took my grandsons to Legoland on Sunday and the weather was glorious - the boys even went in the splash pools and fountains. My card today is one that I made for a friends wedding. Her colour scheme was gold so I made her card to match. This was the first time that I have tried inking the embossing folder, before embossing the card, I was quite happy with the result and it made the embossing look totally different. As I didn't have any wedding stamps when I made the card I used a LOTV die cut square mounted on gold card.<br />

I would also like to say hello to my new followers, thank you for following me. Sorry I haven't been around much this week, but it has been really busy at work, and I have spent some time getting the girls ready to go back to school. I was very naughty, I couldn't resist - I bought a couple of the new christmas stamps from Lili of the Valley. oops (a paper pad fell into my basket as well) well it was free postage. I have made today's card using one of my new stamps and paper, I have used frosted lace stickles for the snow because I like the icy texture that it gives. I have also followed the sketch at Friday Sketch Challenge.<br />

I had the last two bank holidays off work so I have to work tomorrow. Wish the weather would make up its mind, yesterday we had rain and a humongous thunderstorm, today the sun is shining but it is really muggy. I've made a christmas card today and combined the challenges at ABC Christmas Challenge and Winter Wonderland Challenge. I made my quilted paper on the computer using nitwits paper, I inserted them into a word document, shrunk them to size and joined them together.<br />

This will only be a quick post as I am trying to blog whilst my grandson is in the garden, as he is still monopolising the computer. Its my niece's birthday in a few weeks and I thought this card might suit her as she loves dancing. I enjoyed the paper piercing so much on the mistletoe and mice card that I decided to have another go.<div>

My post is a bit late this evening as my grandson is staying with me and he has monopolised the computer all day, this however, has given me time to craft. I have used a sugar nellie stamp 'Daisy' for my card today, I think this is such a beautiful image, I hope I have done her justice.<div>

The sun is shining, I've finished work and I am now off until next Saturday, hurrah!!! My card today has been inspired by a few that I have seen on blogs that I follow and a challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge which is too use paper piercing. I have done decoupage before and the principle is similar, the hardest part was finding a suitable image and papers with a smallish pattern.<br />

I would like to say hi to my new followers, thank you for taking the time to come and look at my blog. I rushed home from work today to finish this card, it has been made for a new challenge called 'In the Pink', it also fits in with a couple of other challenges. I was originally going for a pastel pink look, but I didn't realise how bright the glitter was and these papers seemed to fit better.<br />

Hasn't the Olympics been exciting the last couple of days. Just a quick post this evening as I haven't been in from work long and I still have dinner to cook. I made most of this card yesterday, but the glitter glue and glossy accents weren't dry enough to assemble the card. The layout has been inspired by the sketch at Sketch n Stash. I also decorated the inside of my card<br />

I am back at work now and its like I've never been away Weather seems to be back to normal, sunshine and showers. I have made another card with a Penny Black Stamp today, (I coloured a few at the weekend) and this time I have used the sketch at Sketch Saturday. The frame has been made using two nestability dies scalloped circles and inverted scalloped circles, I saw this idea on Dawny P's blog a while back and have been die-ing to use it.<br />

Isn't the weather just glorious. I've been to Eastbourne this week with the girls, and we couldn't have picked a better week - wall to wall sunshine. Its my granddaughters 9th birthday today, its quite difficult making cards for her as she isn't a girly girl, doesn't do pink at all, but she likes playing video games with her brother so I thought this image was quite apt. I've used the sketch at Sunday Sketch and Stamp. Hopefully I will get around to catching up with everyone tomorrow.<br />

I'm looking forward to the weekend as I am going away for a couple of days and the sun is supposed to be shining!!!!The challenge at Jingle Belles is to make a Christmas card using green or red, but not both. So I've made one of each. I thought these cards would be great to give to a male at christmas as they are quite clean and simple. I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday again, and borrowed my mum's musical note punch.<br />

I'm still really busy at work at the moment, what with people on holiday and off sick so I'm still really tired. However, I've spent a nice relaxing morning making a card for a couple of challenges. I have had this image printed for a couple of weeks but have not felt like colouring her in, but have spent the last couple of evenings giving it a go., still not sure about her hair, but its the best I can do.<br />

I hope all the rain that we are having at the moment is not affecting anyone. I would also like to take a moment to say hello to my new followers.<br />
My card has been inspired by the challenge at Winter Wonderland, I think I had only ever made one white on white card before I started blogging, but I have found that I like doing them. My card today is totally white, the only colour is from the glitter around the edges.<br />

Its another miserable day - the rain seems to be back with a vengeance.<br />
Sorry I haven't been around much, we are understaffed at work and by the time I get home I'm too tired to do anything. I have however managed to make a card - I was determined. My card has been inspired by a couple of my new dies, which I was determined to use, and this is what I came up with, (sorry the photo isn't very good, the light is terrible)<br />

The weather wasn't too bad, sunnyish with a couple of heavy showers - at least they passed over quickly. I made a Christmas Card yesterday as I wanted to use my new die ( I think I might have got a bit carried away using it!!!) and I love this image little James bear playing in the snow...<br />

My card this evening is a Christmas card that I made yesterday (I had to wait until this morning to photograph it because it was too dark). I have been inspired by the challenge at Winter Wonderland where they want to see candy canes, I thought this house mouse stamp was perfect., the papers also have candy canes and I have used the colours from these for my colour scheme. My layout follows a sketch at sketch n stash where the challenge is a free choice (I chose the sketch from challenge 64). As the papers are quite busy I used card candy to finish, coloured to match the papers.<br />

The sun has been shining all morning, actually feels like summer for once. My card today has been inspired by the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, where the challenge is to use 5 circles. I have used a long stamp and split it into 3 individual images and made the other 2 by using die cut circles. I have added faux stitching to the images and added a pearl to each corner, as there is a lot going on I have left it quite simple.<br />

My card today has been made with the challenge at Lili's Little Fairies in mind. The theme this week is in the garden and I thought that this stamp was perfect. I have tried to make a garden scene using die cuts. I have used the fence before but not the others. The branch was made using part of a Cheery Lynn die. I have mounted the dp, the image and cut the diecuts with kraft card..<br />
