Just a Reminder!

Just to let you know that tomorrow is the last day of my blog candy and thought I would clarify that you have until Midnight (GMT) tomorrow to enter. I will then get the birthday boy (Lewis's birthday on Wednesday!) to pick a winner if he can tear himself away from his presents (which I haven't finished buying yet!).

Pretty hectic here again today - Lewis is better and back to school and my headache didn't turn into anything, thank goodness. However, Sam is still poorly so he spent the day at home with his Mummy colouring. I've got so many cards to make so thought I would kill two birds with one stone! Here's one of the cards I made and surprisingly enough it's not a Christmas card! My Dad wanted a card for my sister as it's her birthday on Thursday so came up with this one.


The image is Penny Black coloured with a combination of Brushables and Promarkers and used a couple of my punches to layer it, did a bit of doodling around the edge and added a little bow from my stash. DP is My Minds Eye, Sentiment is MFT and hardware, flowers and brads are from my stash.

Back to making Lewis's cards now.......we had a bit of a panic tonight as Lewis announced he had to hand in a model of the wardrobe from Narnia by tomorrow and apparently, they were informed of this two weeks ago!! Wasn't his fault 'though as he was off school the day they were told so I wasn't best pleased with his Teacher! Anyway, we managed it with the help of my Scor-pal and some of those tiny clothes hangers which I've had in my stash for years and never used......knew they'd come in handy one day!!

Enjoy your evening!

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.
