A tag and a card...get aload of me....lol

 

Good morning, hope you are all well and enjoying the Bank holiday sunshine, very unusual isn't it, I mean every Bank holiday ever is known for bad weather, lets make the most of it. :))
OK, so I made this tag from one I saw on my travels, please don't ask where, I am hopeless. Its made from four strips of paper, so great for using up old pieces. You just cross them over to create the shape and all those little pockets, I filled mine up with anything I could put my hands on just to see if it worked out, I think I like this idea and given more time it could be a real beauty.

It is abit wonky at the bottom but its a first try, I will fix that next time...I hope...
Next up is a card I began making awhile back but never finished.


I die cut the pattern in the paper from a TH die I bought forever ago,, love his stuff it last forever and never fails me.
All the bits and bobs are from books of  ephemera I keep on collecting and then forget I have so time to get cracking I thought. I layered it up on some black card to make it pop abit.


Side on, not added anything inside yet but you never know, or it may end up in my scrapbook.
Thats about it for now.
******************************

Health update, I had my appointment  with my consultant and I have the all clear for this particular cancer, I can't tell you how delighted I was, Carla was with me and we both almost burst into tears, just have to have  checks  every few months but thats no problem.
Now onto the 'Other' Cancer, keep me in your thoughts please and to the friends who have kept in contact with me and one who sent me a gorgeous card, Thankyou, you have no idea what it means to me.
Thats it once again, so glad you got here and had a browse on my blog, its been a big help at times I can tell you..

Tag along challenge tag.


 

Good morning lovelies, hope all is well wherever you may be. A bit chilly this morning but the sky is blue, so fingers crossed.

Made this tag for the challenge over at Tag along, the theme this time is add some Pink, well I don't mind if I do, must confess this was tag number two as number one was awful and it had to go.


Tag from my lovely friend Chris, used some pale pink ink to make the background, found some gorgeous satin pink ribbon,{which can barely be seen sadly } then added the lace on top, have had these little sticks in my stash for ages so dug three out and tied some pretty little flowers round, some of 'Tims' best word strips and a good old splash of black ink, string through the top and bobs your uncle, done


Tried to get a side on view, not great but OK.

That lace is really white so why it looks creamy is beyond me...

Obviously I am entering this into the Tag Along challenge HERE


Thats it for today, I am still looking for my journal book, it went walk-about when I first became ill and I have looked everywhere, its upsetting because I had so much in there and it was a book I made anyway, very odd, I just hope it turns up somewhere, but honestly, not that many places it could hide.!!!

Have a lovely day, thanks so much for any comments you may leave.

Lots of hearts on this one.....


 

Good morning I hope you are all well.

I was having a bit of a rummage, my drawers all need sorting, its all been very neglected of late so bit by bit I hope it can get some sort of organisation. 

I folded this card up ages ago thinking it would be something different, well it got lost way back in a drawer never to be seen again, until I found it last week, I had this whole bunch of papers waiting to be used so here we go, maybe a bit picture heavy for me but anyway, lets go for it.

Lots of everything thrown at this one, needed to cover every bit for some reason.



Aren't those papers sweet, I love them. I used lots of Tims finest with all the bits I have stashed.

As you can see this is the back.
Front cover.

Don't ask me why I stuck this piece of fencing on, I just found it and well that was that.!!!!!

Here we are all closed up for the night....one of Tims clips too..told you I used quite alot of his stash on this one.
So there you have it , thankyou for sticking with me so far, I do appreciate it.
**************************

Quick update health wise, I had another scan on Sunday at my local hospital now I have to go for an MRI at Chorley next Sunday then get my results to see how things are going before the end of that week, fingers crossed this one is gone and we can address the next one up.. I am always hopeful.
*******************************
Take care lovely people.

Happy Monday everyone....

 



Good morning, just popping on with this little cutie. Another Pixel Pop image, made it last week and been reluctant to show as I don't think its that good, but its the image that is so cute, so here it is.


Cut a tag shape, tied some wax cord under the image and added a word thingy from TH book.

Ran my wheel around the edges too, almost forgot that...


These little images are so cute...don't you think..

So there we have it, hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine, it really lifts the spirits doesn't it.

Happy days all..

Another PixelPopsicle card.



Good morning, did you all get your share of the sunny weekend, oh it was so good. My youngest son bought a new fitting for the power washer, its like a big round broom and cleans up and stones look all shiny and bright. 

Ok, so I bought these from Etsy shop, I just love the images all ready to use and you get so many, like the Christmas ones I bought and so cute, anyway, thought it was time to get some use from these, you can grab yourselves some HERE you won't be sorry.


Isn't she cute, I stencilled the background and added some satin bias ribbon thats been hiding out for ever.


Kept it pretty simple inside this time.

Thats it for today, I just popped over and bought some more, I can't help myself the amount of design and if you need a quick make they are a great idea.

Thankyou for popping by and hopefully liking what you see.

Quick post .


 

Afternoon lovely people, are you all looking forward to  good weekend, well whatever your up to just enjoy.

Right I made another tag for the Tag-along challenge. It is a very simple one, the paper is from an old-ish book, black cardstock for the backing and some super springy black net, I think it once held oranges, who really knows, if your anything like me I just collect things that may come in handy, you know the deal. A little sentiment strip from Tim once again and that's it I think .


I love the flowers, so vibrant and pretty.

The netting just made itself into a bow of sorts, all very helpful.
****************************

I went for my checkup yesterday and so far so good, I have to go back again in 8weeks, in between I can now get treatment for my lung, fingers crossed it will all be fine. Enough of that, everyone have a lovely weekend, hope the sunshine stays with us. 
*******************************
On a cheery note, here is one of my beautiful grandsons, Jacob with his new dog, he adores her and has waited so long to have a pup of his own, meet Rollo, silly name I know, I call her Lola just to confuse matters, haha

Surprise surprise it only took me weeks to make this....Ta-Dah......


 

Good morning to you all and Happy Mothers day to all the lovely Mums out there in the UK, hope you have a very spoiled day.

Well, things are getting better and I made a tag for the Tag-a-long challenge, its taken me soooo long just to get this far but hey, I made it, haha.


Tag was from Chris, stencil is an oldie I bought long ago, stamps from stash, TH word strips and the girly image is from a pack from Amazon, and the suede cord is a Temu buy.


I did a few splashes too.

Hope you like, I have felt like I was starting over after such a long break from crafting it was very odd :))

Thats all for now, I hope to get on with more crafting now I made a start.

Thankyou all for the kindest words ever, it restored me it really did. I am getting 'there', slow but sure, back at the Rosemere on Thursday so fingers crossed for good results. If its up to my blogland friends all will be well.


Have a wonderful Mothers day girls, you deserve it.
