It's A Man's World!

The challenge on CCT this week is to make a card for the man or boys in your life so I've used one of my favourite Penny Black stamps which I like to use for male cards.

I've coloured him with Brushables and stamped his bow tie a second time, cut it out and 3D it with foam pads. Papers are from Pink Petticoat and c.s. is Bazzill. The sentiment is from Autumn Leaves and the brads are from my stash.

Very quick card and a quick posting from me today as not feeling 100% - got a splitting headache which I can't seem to shift and the boys just won't stop talking!!! The weather here is awful....it's been pouring down with rain today and had to pop up to Dorchester this morning to get some more Sansodor (only shop that sells it in my area) as I tipped mine over the dining room table yesterday.....TWICE!!!! Just hoping the day is going to improve. On a brighter note, hope to finally get our loo fixed tomorrow as the Plumber should be bringing the part which is needed.....yes, still having to use buckets of water to flush it!!! Hoping to catch up on my blogging tonight (if my head improves).

It's Blog Candy Time!

I'VE EDITED THIS MESSAGE SO (HOPEFULLY!) IT WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG UNTIL THE COMPETITION IS OVER. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! WILL ALSO BE ADDING PHOTOS OF ENTRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A BLOG. As promised, it's blog candy time. There are three reasons for me doing this. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! For those of you who don't know, Tony has been working in Australia for the past 15 months and we have only seen him twice in that time.....the last time being at the beginning of October last year! He should be home within a matter of weeks - he's given me the date of 10 June but

Fancy a Magnolia?

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over the last six weeks. It's amazing, I really didn't think I would get so many hits when I started out. It really is appreciated. Now to the blog candy......I've thought long and hard about this and decided to do something a little bit different. The reason being, I think even though we enjoy making cards, we're all so busy with birthdays, challenges, and everyday life, so I thought I'd make it simple. I admit to being a bit(?) of a nosey old moo!! so what I would like you to do is send a link to a photo of your craft space. Don't worry how tidy(?)/untidy, small, big, whatever, your space is. Could be a room (I'd kill for one!), a corner of a room (like mine!), a dining room table. It doesn't matter, just add a comment with a link to your blog and if you haven't got a blog, then e-mail me a photo (my e-mail link is in my Profile). Just to get you started, here's my space

A Quick Magnolia!

This is going to be a very quick posting as I've been suffering from toothache on and off since Friday evening and it is now unbearable. I do have an appointment with the Dentist tomorrow so if I can just get through tonight I'll be OK! Don't really feel like listing all the details for this one, so if you have any questions, just ask.
