They're Coming To Take It Away Ha! Ha!


Well today will be an interesting day. Before Christmas I had to call the TV Engineer in because we were getting lines down the picture on our TV. He knew what it was as soon as he saw it and because it's covered by insurance (thank God!) we had to wait to find out what the insurance company would decide - either replace it with a brand new TV (yes please!) or take it away and repair it. Well you can guess what the decision was...... take it away for repairs. Only trouble is, they keep it for about ten days and don't provide us with a replacement. I have a teeny weeny portable in my bedroom which we can use but bear in mind that the one which is broken is a 39" flat screen plasma...... you get the idea! Just a slight difference PLUS no Sky! It won't bother me as I don't watch a great deal of TV however, it will be interesting to see what effect it will have on the boys. I know they probably watch too much TV but sometimes, it just makes things a bit easier for me - lets me get on with jobs without them bothering me all the time! I think they're just about to rediscover the joys of playing - crikey they've got so many toys and things to do, it shouldn't really be a problem!

I've got another Fluffles card to show you today. I printed a Pink Petticoat design straight onto the card again, then added some co-ordinating PP stripe paper. The ribbon is Dovecraft (I do like this as it's only 99p for a roll in Craft Central!), brads from my craftbox and a Woodware sentiment stamped onto the paper. The image has been coloured with Brushables and layered onto more PP co-ordinating card and then mounted with foam pads.

Will be back to load another card soon.

Stamp Something Red, White and Blue!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything for a little while but life has been so hectic and I have been finding it very difficult to get inspired to make anything. However, it's Friday which means it's time for the Stamp Something challenge and this week the very talented Melissa has set it! The challenge this week is a two parter - to create something in red, white and blue, and have it be ANYTHING BUT A CARD! This challenge is based on the fact that it's Independence Day in the States very soon so I have taken my inspiration from the Stars and Stripes, plus Lewis, my eldest Son, has been nagging me for ages to make him a book so this is what I came up with..... I've used my Bind It All to make the actual book and covered it with Pink Petticoat papers printed onto lightweight card and stuck some Doodlebug ribbon across the join. The image is Magnolia (which was a RAK from someone) and I've coloured him with Prismas and Sansodor adding Glamour Dust to his...
