Had a little play.

 

Morning lovely people, hope you are all well, if not big hug to you, be strong.

I had a little play with some stamps and added some stickers, die cut it with my tag dies, which, btw, I forgot I had and put  a TH safety pin in the top, I have hundreds of these  and don't use them much anymore, ...does anyone else have stash that we all bought when the going was good and now they sit in a drawer doing nothing, silly isn't it.

I stamped a train on it because the challenge at Tag along and ATCs this month has been travel, I hope you can make it out.

Obviously will be adding to the challenge HERE 

I have two things to ask you while your here. First of all do any of you know these markers, I have had them for years and they are really great, no idea where I got them and they still work.

Second question, the last two weeks I had had 450 odd people view my blog, I am more than surprised as I really don't get traffic like I did once upon a time and the comments are still the same, nothing changed there, so can anyone explain, it makes no sense, is blogger cocking things up once again I wonder.....

Right then, thats it for now, be back as soon as I can, am still managing to come to your blogs don't know how it will all be once the real treatments begin but fingers crossed.

Have a good bank holiday weekend friends. 

New card.

 

Good morning, are you all ok and coping with the sudden heat ( well for me in my corner of the world its sudden  anyway...)

I thought I would make a card with these gorgeous little houses I purchased from Temu a while ago.

Inked up the background a nice TH blue, added the homes and then cut some little bits up for the banner, I do have dies for this but they are too big and the small one has gone walk about. The sentiment at the foot of the card is from TH book, you know I love his sentiment books. I layered it up on black cardstock as I always think it makes everything pop.

Thats about it , well, maybe one more look at those cute homes.

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

Footnote, my appointment on Monday was abit of a downer. I have alot to face in the near future, but as long as I have my family to help me I will carry on fighting.

Thankyou for all the well wishing I have had, fingers crossed all will be well.

Wood tags

 

Morning all, I found these wood tags I think I bought last year or even the year before and never got round to using. Anyways, I have all these washie tapes hanging around that don't get used much, so after rummaging through, this is what came out. I placed the tape central, then added some black ink, which did actually seep through a tad, soooo I then placed some strips of black cardstock and it kind of looked ok. I mainly just like the images on the tape, really sweet.

Thats it, I like them anyways.

Thanks so much for looking and any comments you make.

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

Wish me luck for this afternoon, I am back at the hospital again, this time for the results of the PET-scan I had last week, I must be honest I am so tired of hospitals at this point, if its not one then its the other and its gets abit much, I shouldn't moan because we are lucky to get treated, but still. Anyway, think of me please. 

Tag a long time.

 

Good morning and can you believe we are now in August, its mad, its also the month of my eldest son's birthday, he will be 49 this time, he still looks 21, I told him I am carrying all the wrinkles for these three :))

Ok, on with why I am here. I made this tag as a little distraction, its quite simple really, see what you think.

I will be entering this into the Tag along and ATC challenge HERE however, I only just read on there about specifying everything you have used, well I hate to disappoint but some of my stash is stuff I have had for years and no longer know where it came from, so, if that counts me out, then fair enough, sorry to say but I will try and label where I can....( not a big rule follower...naughty me !!! )

As you can see, black card, the DP is from a pack I think I bought on eBay and the wording and butterflies are from a rub on sheet  I think they were 49 and market. The metal bar at the bottom was Amazon buy, the black leather cord is a bundle  I still have left from Amazon also, thats all I know phew, like hard work, hahaha

A bit closer, the words are from Tims best book, you know who I mean, he is the only one I ever really mention and am sure of.

Thats all, I hope you all have a good weekend, I think the sun is doing a quick show at some point, that will be nice won't it. Happy August all.

Card time.

 

Morning all, I hope you are  all well and enjoying the brief warm spell again.

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

I had this calendar a couple of years ago, I loved the images so couldn't bin it when the time came, its been sat waiting until the other day, saw this page and thought that would make a sweet card, so that's what I did.

Its a big size as I wanted to use the whole page, I know its a bit of a cheat, but it was to nice to throw away. Not put a sentiment on yet, it even has its own splashes.....you know I love my splashes :))

So, what do you think was it worth keeping....I think so.

Yesterday I was back at the hospital, more stuff I have to go through, honestly, I will be glad when this year is out and I am saying Happy New Year...I hope...will let you know....

Thanks so much for being here. Have the best weekend. xxx

Another Tag.

 

I think I'm  hooked after all these years, on tag making, mainly because they are usually quick and easy to do and use up left over card stock, its a win all round.

This little cutie is an image sent to me by a friend a while back, I have no idea who or worse still, who the owner is, I was told it was for anyone to use. If you know different I will happily remove it, well, not really happily because I love this kid..

I layered him up on some darker card and masked him off while I did some splashing around, you will dead impressed to know that this lot of splashes were mixed to try and match up with his colour combo at the bottom, it looks ok I promise.

The little medal is one of Tim's of course, it say Story and it has a touch of gold paste on it t brighten it up.

Thats it folks, thanks for the visit, I hope to have a card in the week, until than, enjoy whats  left of July, its flying.

Back again...

 

Morning all, hope all is well, are you stunned , shocked or just surprised I am back again, two days in a row, haha...

Yesterdays card was to show off the new images I bought and the link for the shop is on there, don't forget you get alot for the money. Right then this is another of the images that came with it, I made a Tag this time, and I remembered I had this little piece of knitting, so cute, so added that.

The sentiment are dies from die-namics, I have had this set for years. Cut in the same navy card, I must mention I foolishly placed it on the very same navy card to photograph and now it looks like a card, but honestly, its a tag.

On the back I cut a slot for a small card to slide in then placed this sentiment across.

Little close up of the knitting, its cute admit it ....hahaha

I will add this to tag along challenge. HERE 

Once again that's all I think' today I will be resting, I was up most of the night coughing and now of course its pouring down so I am on the couch I think, maybe finish my book I am reading, who knows. Enjoy your day lovelies.
