I'm Still Alive!!

Hi All! Sorry I haven't been around lately but I haven't been feeling too good and had a rough couple of days. Starting to improve now and have finally managed to complete a card! This one is a Father's Day card for my Dad and it also incorporates the Tilda & Co and Papertake Weekly challenges. I know I'm too late for Tilda & Co but thought I'd have a go anyway. The theme was male cards. On Papertake this week it was to make a card from Claudia's frame card tutorial. I'd only got as far as stamping out the images before I was ill so the card has been a bit rushed today and is not quite perfect.


I have used Bazzill c.s. for the frame card and then used the following Magnolia images: Grandad (or Edwin's Father....not sure of his exact name!), Edwin's dog, part of the Edwin's town, fence, sun and mushrooms......the latter two were kindly stamped by Fran for me. All images were coloured with Prismas and Sansodor and the background piece of card was coloured with shimmery chalks, although, unfortunately, they don't show too well in the photo. The word "DAD" is made with Making Memories rub-ons.

Have alot of work to catch up on and also alot of blogging so Ladies, please don't think I'm ignoring you.....I will be visiting your blogs soon!

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
