Snow in Weymouth?......Never!!! but it did happen albeit very briefly! I couldn't believe my eyes when I got up at 8.00 am this morning.....big flakes of snow falling quite heavily, however, it didn't get a chance to settle as the sun started to come out and it was gone. Only in England can we have a snow storm one minute and brilliant sunshine the next!!!
I must apologise to everyone as I've been really busy over the last few days and haven't had a chance to go blog hopping. Besides the usual boring housework stuff, I've actually sorted out alot of my craft supplies including putting my card in colour order, and my paper too. Also sorted out my ribbons and some embellishments. However, my next job is to sort my brads into colour order which I'm dreading but which will make things alot easier in the long run. I'm hoping to catch up on my blogging over the next couple of days as the boys go back to school tomorrow......yippee!!!
Thought I would have a go at the Daring Cardmakers Challenge this week as it did seem quite simple and I haven't joined in for a while. Well, a card which I thought was going to take ten minutes turned into forty because I kept changing my mind all the way through!!
The challenge this week is:
"....this week I'd like you to think small - not small cards, but small spaces of embellishment on regular sized cards. You are allowed to cover no more than a 5 x 5 cms area of your card with paper or embellishments - the rest of the card must be left plain. ........because I'm feeling generous, I am going to let you add a SIMPLE greeting as extra to your 5 x 5 allowance :-)......"
This is my attempt......
I've gone for a rectangular card rather than my usual square one and embossed this with the Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles embossing folder (hope this still counts as leaving the card plain????!!!!). I've stamped the Gina K Seafood Surprise stamp and coloured with Brushables and then mounted this onto a scrap piece of Bazzill Bling cardstock which has been cut using my Nestabilities (one of the small ones I might add!!). I then mounted this onto the card with foam pads and stamped the sentiment, also from Gina K, straight onto the card.
Back to sorting and organising now and hope to catch up with you all soon.

New England weather is pretty much like what you described for your weather today. We say don't like the weather right now, wait a minute and it'll change! Too funny that you never get snow, but you did in April. It's been crazy like that here all winter. :)
Also, well done on sorting all your craft things out - mine's a mess LOL
