Its card time...

Hi everyone, hope your getting your fair share of the sun, we are and its red hot, yesterday the temp in my little sun trap of a garden hit past 100% Honestly thats hot for us don't you agree......

*************************************

OK then, a quick  card,  just inked up a piece of white card, put some script on and thought I would add this gorgeous Butterfly I had, I felt it needed abit of something under the wings, so, being clever, I got my fan brush and some black ink and just lightly touched under each side...it was awful, honestly awful. The Butterfly came off while I searched for a cover up or though this in the bin. I die cut this happy birthday out....when I say 'die cut'  I mean I stood there trying my best to get the darned thing to work and the the handle was in my hand, literally not attached anymore to the machine, hahaha, well it all adds to the story I suppose, it will keep working for now...

Layered onto black card and the two little strips across the top are offcuts, silly not to use.

Rubbed some gold around the edges and that's about it.

Here's a pic of the thermometer in my garden, I tell you it was a tad to hot for me even under the brolly, (honestly some people will moan about anything hahaha.)

Right thats  all for now, hope you all have a good weekend, stay happy..

 

Tag at last

 

Good morning all, hope you are all doing OK. The weather is not at all playing nice here , everyone else is getting sunny days, its just humid here and we had rain again last night, fingers crossed it will pick up in the week.

Right then, I made a couple of tags, but I am thinking my tags are all looking very similar, may need a change of tack.

See  what I mean, since I got the new book of bits and bobs I think I have gotten worse :))

SO....I made a very simple one too.

One extreme to the other I feel, haha, but still it makes a change..

I will have a card later in the week, trying to craft abit more often as it takes your mind off other things doesn't it...

I will stick my tags in the challenge over at Tag along and ATCs.

**************************************************

For those that have been kind enough to ask, my results so far are not so good, lots more treatments, some not so pleasant, we will see. Smile, its the best medicine..

Very CAS card.

 

Morning, I hope you are all well.

I made this card quite by mistake the other day, I was having a route through some drawers and found these rub-ons I had forgotten all about, I used the one I wanted on something else then rubbed this onto a piece of white card and thought it would make a nice tag, but after looking again I thought of Mia, she loves Daisy's most of all, it made sense to turn it into a card.

Simply cut into squares with a pale blue backing and another white piece, then, yes, I found some pale blue ink to lightly splash, its so sweet I love it. 

She always  says they make her smile, so see, perfect for her, I will give it to her just because....

And now this little nest in the big tree out back, its extremely old, and has this hole in it now, I worry abit because this thing is huge, anyway, I tried to get a photo, the babies are so tiny and cute and Mum is a little Wren  I think, everyone is staying clear to let them have a chance, the last babies we had in June were in the hedge and  fox came by in the early hours and snatched at least one, I get so upset, but its natures way I suppose.

If you look close you can see a tiny beak on the right hand side, just thought I would share.

Hope you all have a good weekend my friends. 

Pocket tags

 

Hi all, hope you all had a good weekend, ours was up and down weather wise, but Sunday was gorgeous.

I made this from a piece of A4 cardstock, just fold length wise, then across, I also added a couple of cuts so the tags can have bits and bobs slipped in. I think I will used this in a scrapbook and put little notes or pictures in.

This is how it appears when folded.

As you can see, opened up  gives you quite a few pockets back and front.

All the ephemera  is from a new book I bought, and some washie tapes too, some really great stuff on there, from Temu.

Will be adding to the Tag a long challenge HERE 

Footnote, I have the wrong day for the challenge so this one won't make it for next month....got my days mixed up people :))

Thats all for today. I have two birthdays this week, my youngest grandson , Gabriel will be 8 and my gorgeous daughter Carla will be 46, I need to make it especially good for her, she is having a very hard time coming to terms with my health problems right now,  no matter what I say, its like it has hit her really hard, bless her, told I am a natural fighter, it will be ok. :)) I hope !!!!!!

Thankyou so much for your visit, I will get back to you.

Happy days.

 

Morning, I hope all is well for you and yours and your getting a fair share of the sunshine..

I made this yesterday for a friend, they are easily done and really don't take long, it takes more time waiting for the paint to dry.

This is how it started

Then lets get busy tarting it up !!!

The usual, circle wooden plate, for want of a better word, taped off and painted with blackboard paint, because it was what I had, then added the chippy words which I bought a whole lot of from the Works many moons ago, painted that black too and waited for it to dry, ( it didn't take long I am dramatic...)

Then added suede cord to hang and decided to put some of it across the the bit where the colours break, like this 

I think it looks more 'finished'.

Then added some wired ribbon, I love this combo, I bought them together so long ago and they never fail me, just love them.

Think thats all again. I am off to get my bedding out, to good to miss and then I have a bit of housework and then, I am off out to read for awhile. 

Have the best of days, take care.

Another tag...please don't get bored :))

 

Morning all, I hope the sun is shining on you, its not here today but I hold out that it is coming back this week...Yay !!!!!

Right, I made another tag, trouble is they are so easy to make....well that was what I thought, two hit the bin before this one came out OK. !!!!!!!

So...I grabbed some white card and cut the top corners, as you do.....tore some of these lovely papers up and stuck them down, did some splashes with black ink, edged with gold paste then went through my drawer filled with bits and bobs of all sorts, found this clock and stuck off-side and used the cut off bit at the bottom, obviously 'Tim' had to come out to play and add some' words of wisdom' and a number tag at the top, 'tah-dah'...done, I don't mind it at all.

You all know where this will be going, yep, Tag along HERE

Look at this gorgeous rose from my garden, when it first appears its almost black, I had to gently tease its petals to open, I think it got scared of all the wind and torrential rain we have had, but look how beautiful, I had to go tell her how stunning she looked :)) so I thought I would share.

Thats all for today, sorry for the waffling I do tend to get carried away. Oh, one last thing, thankyou to anyone that asked how I went on at the hospital, all went well, its looking better than first thought so fingers crossed it stays that way, I do have a good doctor at the cardiac unit though. Now just waiting for the biopsy results for yet another 'thing', no news is good news.. :))

Enjoy your day.

A couple of things and a Thankyou....

 

Morning to you all, firstly I would like to thank you for trying to help me out, I am still really struggling with things, but, it did manage to cut out this tag and pocket I have to show you today, I truly think its going to be a new one at some point, I mean its either that or I will end up with one rather large arm, haha.

This is a pocket tag which is a small part of my win from Tag along, this set has fourteen parts to it, amazing really and I feel sad I could only get this out of it, but onwards and upwards.

It doesn't do the die justice, but it was as far as i got, but the dies are very intricate.

Next one was an ATC, obviously hand cut :)) and the coffee theme sort of suited it well as this months theme at Tag along and ATC's is Drinks.

Lots of little receipts clipped on, the coffee cup is a sticker which I trimmed round along with the sentiment I have only just noticed the string looks abit wonky, but after the last few days I am past caring, sorry. :))

Right, as you may already know I will enter these into the challenge at Tag along HERE 

I am off to sort myself out, another hospital visit today, another Pre-op appointment, this one has me on edge slightly, they want to do something to my heart and, well, I am not looking forward to it, just have to see what they say.

Thanks so much for everything, have a lovely day won't you.
