Just something I made ages ago and forgot to finish......

 

Good morning, are we all well, hope so. This morning the weather is glorious, the skies are blue and its as fresh as a daisy out there, I love these kind of days.

OK, so ages ago I decided to have a play around and use up some papers I had.......truely, I bought far to many of these, I do love them though........

I made this kind of a wallet, you know lots of folds and pages where you can put stuff but as I said its not finished, however, I am showing because I can't craft much right now.

 

In no particular order as you can see....sorry my mind is all over the place hahaha.

The bones of it are made from one piece of A4 card folded into three, then you can add as many pages as you wish. Some are up folds some are not. I did make a belly band, because if you put anything else in it will need help closing. I added some gold wax here and there, some stamping and some ink blots. I feel quite bad I didn't add anything else yet, I really think I just wanted to 'make' something, sure you know what I mean. Thats it, I am trying to make the odd Christmas card this week, the time is now flying.

I should think by now you will have heard that Ginny lost her fight and sadly passed. We have all been extremely upset, she was such a nice, funny at times, person. I hope she will be remembered with a smile as well as a tear or two.

Thats all for now, happy days all.

A card at last....

 

I need to get my skates on if I am to make my cards for everyone, phew its been awhile since I last posted and this is the first thing I have attempted to make.

One of Mo's images of course, coloured with Copic and PM pens, some stencilling and layered onto some dark blue cardstock. I did sprinkle some glitter dust on his fur and a touch on his beard, not sure if it has shown up.

The sentiment stamps are from a set I bought recently.

Side view, not much going on there really.

Hope it has passed muster !!!!!

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

Update for those who have asked and been sending cards and messages, for which I am so grateful. Well I was supposed to go see my consultant again on the 27th, that has now been rearranged for the 4th December to see the Oncologist and decide which treatment I am to have, it was all decided once but then another scan has changed all that, so fingers crossed it won't be as brutal as the first thing I went through, never again I hasten to say.

All being well it won't start till after Christmas, but the later date has given me time to organise the house for the big day, haha, I say that because I now sit there and give orders, who'd have thunk it :))

I hope you are all well, shout out to our lovely blog friend Ginny, she has been through the mill of late ad I hope and pray she will be back home soon, hugs Ginny. xxx

Thankyou for being here, love to all.

Missing in action.....

 Hi everyone, are you all well, I hope so.

You may or may not have noticed I have been missing this last week, well, last Thursday I  went in for my first Op; it went pretty well and I managed to get home that night. I have been through hell since, I never thought for one minute it would be this bad. Anyway, it is starting to ease alittle and I am not in as much pain since they added Morphine to my meds. I just wanted you to know why I haven't been to your blogs, I am sorry and hope to be back asap, or when I can sit for longer anyway.

A big 'THANKYOU' to the very few friends I told what was happening for the support and cards and the other day I actually got a Bloom and Wild delivery, such a surprise and such beautiful flowers, I was amazed.

So for now thats it, I am hoping to get dressed in my day cloths in the next couple of days, yep! I haven't worn anything but pj's for a whole week :))

Have a lovely weekend, love to all and take care of yourselves.

Another tag, hope your not getting bored.....

 

Morning and a happy Sunday wherever you are.

I made this one obviously from my favourite tag ever now !! 

I have these paper napkins for Autumn, well October anyway. I cut one up and made it to fit the top tag, modge podge all over the place, grabbed some ribbon, also autumn colours, wired edge of course, ( does anyone else find with wired ribbon sometimes the wire catches your fingers and 'ouch !!) every Christmas when I re-do my door wreath I end up with a nick or such like, worth it though....anyway back to the tag, then I got some of my gold string and tied that round and unravelled it abit, a Tim Holtz word sentiment and done, I just love the colours I really do.

Thats about it, I will enter this into the Tag along and ATC challenge HERE

Enjoy your day, its very misty and damp here, I woke at 3am and looked out and couldn't see a thing the mist was so dense, I kind of like it though :))

Tag time and a surprise I received....

 

Good morning lovely people, big smiles please, life's to short and even though the weather is having a hissy fit this weekend we just have to smile we are all still here, haha.

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

Recently I saw a blogging friend use these tag dies, I just loved them but couldn't find them, so what did my wonderful friend do, cut me some and when I say some, a whole bunch of them, along with other things and some stencils, I was so surprised, honestly it made my day it really, all this while she has been suffering herself, thats blogland as it always was don't you think.....Chris, biggest thankyou ever, I won't forget this in a hurry..

Right then, so having the tags I had to make something for the new challenge over at Tag-along and ATC, the theme is autumn, join in HERE 

I lightly inked up both the tag and the die cut leaf, I did cut lots but then just used the bigger one for some reason, I splashed some gold and white (couldn't find my red ink ) then got Tim out of the drawer and added a sentiment I thought would suit. It says 'what seems ordinary is often the extraodinary, enjoy today. So there we have it, don't you just love those tags, I am going to have fun with them I can tell you.  The only thing is I think it needs more colour, but watch this space I shall be sorting another one out, I do love the autumn colours.

Speaking of Tag along, I got a top 3 pick with this tag 

Rather pleased with my little chubby self about that, haha.

OK thats about it for today, I will try and get back asap, in the mean time, batten down the hatches, we are in for it over the weekend, take care all and stay safe.

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 !!!!!!
