Having a play.

 

Good morning lovely people, after abit of a hard week, I got to have a very short play around yesterday. I mean 'quick' haha. I have this word stamp on my desk waiting to be used so I did just that, layered it up on some brick paper also laying around and bobs your uncle, a card was born, haha.

That it for today, I am taking things slowly, mainly because I feel so tired all the time, but we have to try don't we.

Enjoy the weekend, ours is very wet and windy so far, I don't mind I have nowhere to be.

Thanks so much for your visit.

Christmas is coming......

 

Morning to all, hope all is well. 

We are waiting on a storm coming in, as I look across the fields toward the sea its very dark and stormy looking, thankfully I have nowhere to be today so its hunker down and stay warm.

I made this card after seeing one of Mo's DT use the door in a similar way, she had merged a few images which is always fun, I decided to just use two, the door and the boots from Santa.

Coloured with PM pens, for the brick stencil I used TH ink, the sentiment is from an old stamp set, layered up on gold card.

Thats about it, I really like the look of this and was happy to find some inspiration on Mo's blog, my mojo has gone walk-about.

Hope you like.

BTW, remember asking you all about the daft number of visitors I was getting on here, some of you agreed you were having the same thing, well this last post I did has now got 1909 views, haha, how can that be with so few comments.....the mind boggles !!!!!!

Tag time...

 

Morning all, are you all well, I hope so if not take care.

I made this yesterday for the new challenge at Tag along, I do like this monthly challenge, its fun and easy and you don't have to pull you hair out, :))

Just a simply tag, lots of stamps used, some inking up, TH inks btw, the sweet Butterfly was from a pack I bought ages ago, they are rub ons and I placed them on card stock first then cut around because I wanted it to look like it was flying, then bright ideas hers put it on a wobbler, not sure it was the right thing to do but anyhow...oh I couldn't get a video of it doing its thing, don't ask me I have no idea why it won't load up but there you have it.

Also added a sentiment strip from one of my Tim Holtz books, its says, 'With brave wings she flies', sweet I think.

Another pic; of the wings on the wobbler. lol.

Think thats it, I will be entering this into the challenge at Tag-along and ATCs HERE

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.
