Couple of birthday card orders to get done today. Also have to get everything ready for Clyde Craft Groups class on Wednesday, they want to do a canvas. This is some of the fabby papers I ordered from Little Cottage Crafts for them to use.

Great Day .......

....... craft shopping with Crafty Friends.

LisaBabe, Rhi, Nic & I spent the whole day in the SECC - Glasgow at the HobbyCraft Show. We all spent and laughed lots. I always get soooo excited when we arrange to meet up as we have such a great time.


This pic was taken on the Blonde Moments Stall - the poor guy was dead on his feet and was then confronted by us lot wanting our pic took ...... you can only feel sorry for him.xx

So, what did I buy ........ well .............



Blonde Moments Festive Feast 12x12 & 6x6 Pad, Blonde Moments Jolly Old Xmas Stamps.

Danelle Johnson - Art Warehouse, Memories Interactive Stamps ....... love these.

A few random stamps - what a laugh picking these stamps with us all trying to get into this wee bin at the same time, having a wee sing along as we raked ...... lol!!



Making Memories Boho Chic Lauren 6x6 Stack.

Some ColorBox Chalk ink pads.

Also got a couple of magazines for £1 each.

Off to bed ....

.... have an early start tomorrow - as I am off to the Hobby Craft show tomorrow with my Crafty Buddies Nic, Rhi and Lisa. Yay!!!! I'm a bit worried about the change in the clocks - and I'm getting a bit confused ( it doesn't take much believe me) about what time to get up ...... :/

The only down side is that the person that makes us a quintet - Tracey - wont be there, as she is really quite ill. We miss you Teagan.xx

Here is a pic of - from left-right -
LisaBabe, Rhi, Tracey(Teagan) & Nic(Dolly), when we had our first crafty meet in Perth. We had a fab time.

The Doors ......

...... not the group, toppers.

When I met up with N a few weeks ago, she let me cut out a few Cross Cuts front door's (#1 Red) out. When I got home and had a play I really fell in love with it, I had - you know that feeling fellow crafters - just had to have one. So low and behold I am now the chuffed to bits owner of Cross Cuts Front Door (#2 Black).



Aint they cuuuuute??

I bought some of that Vellum Tape ages ago, and used it for the first time on this card - it seems to have worked a treat, cant see it at all. Ladies & Gentlemen ..... I have made a Christmas card, it maybe the only one .....

Daring Card Makers - Dare 2.

Daring Card Makers have posted their second dare ........ 'Use the Kitchen', and the girls have come up with some totally unique cards using various kitcheny bits and pieces.

I have used a Cheerio box, tin foil and some string and this is what I have come up with.



I use my Alcohol inks to colour the tin foil, which gave a great affect (will use this again on a card), cut out flowers from Cheerio box, then covered with the tin foil. I didn't want the tin foil to be smooth so just moved the foil while the glue was still wet - you can get a hammered metal affect. Coloured the string and used it for the flower stems and on the buttons in the flower centers. I used small bits of the left over foil on the die cut letters.

I wont tell my Gran that the card was made with old bits from the kitchen though ..... :-D.

Birthday Pressie.

I wasn't sure what to get SiL for her birthday, I'm hopless picking gifts.
I had a pic of my DS & BiL, that I really love and thought I'd get it framed, but then decided I'd put it on a canvas - I really enjoyed doing Michelle's class at LCC CC. This is what I came up with ....... her favourite two guy's ..... hope she likes it.x

Birthday Cards.

It is my SiL's 30th birthday this weekend and my lovely BiL is suprising her with a trip to The Big Apple. He asked me to make a card with this in mind. So this is what I have come up with - thanks to my friend Nic for a loan of her BossKuts apple die. Also thanks to Tina Sue from the LCC Design Team for the inspiration for this card - from the book on her LO for the CC Class last weekend.



The papers are from the Scrapbooks on the Go 6x6 stack bought at www.littlecottagecrafts.co.uk I will learn to add links to my blog soon - promise.x

The papers on the second card are from the We R Memory Keepers - Boho Chic papers left over from Eva's CC class

Yaaay!!!!!!! The wood is here ..........

....... at last.
I am getting a studio made in the back of my garage, it has been in the pipeline for sooooo long, I had almost given up hope of ever getting out of my tiny spare room. Came home from work tonight and there it was ..... yay!!!!!!

Now just have to sweet talk BiL to do the work ....... yay!!!!!

Can you tell I'm excited .......... yay!!!!!



Contain your excitment - here's a couple of pix of some of my wood ........ I've been out to check a couple of time - and yes it is really here ....... yay!!!!

What do you prefer?
Sweets, Chocolate, Crisps?

I am a crisps person and DH brought home a new Walkers crisp tonight - oh my they are scrummy. Sensations, Cream Cheese & Cracked Black Pepper Corn Chips with Poppy Seeds. So between us we ate the whole pack while curled up on the sofa watching TV ........ this girls was in heaven. Crisps - TV - & Cuddles, ahhhhhh!!!

Melted Cheese on Toast.

As some of my friends know I have been going through a bit of an emotional melt down the past couple of months - nothing in particular, maybe just a change in season, who knows.

I haven't really being saying much about it to DH as he is really busy getting ready for a big show at work and I didn't want to add to his plate, but the other night he asked me what was up and I told him that it was nothing in particular I was just feeling a bit down.

This morning I've gone into the fridge to get something for my breaky/lunch and there smack in the middle of the kinda bare fridge is this chunck of cheese ..... well being a bit of a soppy gal I had a wee blub.

One of my most fav things to eat is melted cheese on toast ...... I could eat it all day - every day, but alas my killjoy hubby will only buy 1 block of cheese a week ...... 'too much cheese is not good for you'. So it only lasts the weekend, sometimes there is some left for a Monday.

Some days I could gladly strangle my DH, but today I would like it publicly known that I love my hubby.

I'll probably want to strangle him again tomorrow, but not today.x
