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. 

I need help please.....

 Morning lovelies, I hope someone can help me out with my latest problem. 

My Big Shot has had a hissy fit and just not cutting anything, well mainly down one side. My son has had a good look at it and after watching a you tube video, took it apart, still not right. Worse part is, my lovely new set of dies arrived from my Tag along win and its just not happening...any suggestions. 

Thanks in advance. xxxx

New card.

 

Morning all, what a grey day we are having and apparently more to follow, chin up, soon be summer :))

Right I made this card yesterday afternoon as I fancied dragging myself away from NCIS Origins on Parmount +  for five minutes, I have been watching this one from the start but I do really love it, and BTW if you fancy watching a good Brit series, try Dept. Q, its on Netflix and is really really good.

Onto my card, I have the washie stickers in a draw that I bought awhile back for Mental health awareness, great buy and I love them.

As you cans see its a double layer, you need two images the same and the top one is placed directly over the bottom layer, I used on of my TH dies, a few splashes and a sentiment from a set I bought from Craftstash ages ago...so sad they are closing....

Oh and I rolled my wheel round the edges to get the faux stitch look.

I was quite happy with how it turned out to be honest.

This is the header for the pack of images I bought.

Think that is that for today.I must tell you how happy I was that my number came up to win the first Tag along and ATC's challenge, really happy and will be making more stuff for this months.

Thanks so much for calling in, much appreciated. 

Tag time...

 

Afternoon all, I hope you are all well and coping with the sudden change in weather, I know we need some rain, but honestly, give me a break !!!!!1

Made this this morning, I fancied something bright, so here we go.

Cut the tag from some white card, added some TH inks, some angel hair, butterfly, which is a sticker I just stuck it on black card and cut round it, then added it on some lift tape and rolled the wings up on a pencil. Some washie tape strips and of course the usual splashes, (I can't help myself !!) A squiggle or two around the edges and some of Tims best sentiments, that book has been worth its weight in gold, I should say books....

Thats it I think, I will go over and add this to the challenge at Tag along and ATC's because I love making these and supporting my friend at the same time.

I just realised I already have four entries in so can't add anything else. 

Have a lovely afternoon. 

Happy Saturday...

 

Good morning, I am scheduling this post so fingers crossed the sun is still shining on us all, it has been wonderful, I just hope it continues for all the workers out there, hoping for a good bank holiday weekend and the children for half term.

Right, well I had made something else and had alot of scraps over, so cut into strips and did a weaving background, it has been a longggg time since I did this, do you remember when we all made beautiful hearts and centre points for cards, such a nice way to use up scraps. Anyway, here it is, not exactly what I hoped for but you have what you have !!

I used black leather type tape round the edges, not really liking it much but anyhow, the silhouette of the girl with the dog has been in a box of dies cuts for ages, so she gets a spin same with the hello.

It passed alittle time on while I had nothing better to do and it was nice to re-visit something I hadn't done in ages.

Just been going through old old posts and found this, a heart I made from wood and did some of the weaving on it...from 2011

Now, who remembers this box.

It was made for Carla,s class, I started with an old show box and then bevelled the top and scored it to make it look like wood planks, and made straps, lots of sewing on the edges and stamping, I was really into boxes at this stage, this is the only picture I can find of it and now she wants to start over, even though this is still up at school, that surprised me, so watch this space, I hope I still have the energy, hahaha.

One last thing, Look please at this beautiful Rose, it was my Mums, its called Just Joey and I think Carla bought it for her one day out of the blue, the perfume is sweet and it keeps on coming, it has to be about twenty five years old now.

I hope if we get rain it doesn't ruin it like it usually does....

Enjoy the weekend. 

Journal page..

 

I bought some paper packs recently from Temu, my style kind of changes all the time I feel and these were abit different for me. I thought one would be nice as a journal page.

I slightly wet round the edges of the image before applying it to the page, I had already inked it up so then added some stamping to it and then some sentiment strips from TH.

I think she is rather gorgeous and look at that waist....that will never be mine again sadly...

Anyway thats it for today.

I hope we are all enjoying the heat while it lasts, its been glorious but we are in for a slight change apparently, just in time for half term for the kids, mind you, my two youngest grandsons are off to Poland to visit the other grandparents who will be over the moon to see them and won't be able to believe how much they have grown, Jacob is almost as tall as I am, honestly these kids now seem to grow up so fast.

Enjoy your week.

Just a quickie post..

 

Made this when I made the other ATC's, have scattered showing as I knew I may not be up to creating and the weather is just too good to miss.

As you may already know its a Mo image, I had it ready coloured and just cut it down to make this, a little bit of scribble round the edges and some splashes, all done. The die cut Love was sent to me by a friend awhile ago, so thought it was time to use.

I will obviously add this to the new challenge Tags and ATC's, you know the one and if you don't, then get your bum over there and join in the fun, you do know we have to help keep blogland going..:))

I would like to thank you all for messaging me about my surgery, it went really well I think and I haven't been in as much pain since. I just have to wait for results now, but cannot thank the whole NHS staff at Victoria hospital, they really go above and beyond. truly amazing the care and understanding I was bowled over. Anyway, thankyou you lovely people. 

Thats all for now, I will try and make something new soon but get very tired.
