A bit of sort-of sad news

Hi blogworld,

Well here I am again, on an unexpected day with an unexpected post.

The sort-of sad news is that, for now, this the last challenge over at Moving Along with The Times - it should be Team A's turn, but Hazel said anyone who wants to can join in - hence this post and card.

The better news is that it's not the end altogether, just that we are having a break for a few months and will be back on the 3rd October. This hopefully, will give the Teams a chance to re-charge batteries and find lost Mojo's then we will be back raring to go!!

So for this last challenge we have a 'just for fun' challenge and a lovely easy sketch from Hazel to work with.

Here's the sketch:

And here's my card, as you can see I've rotated the sketch:

The close-up, hmmmm I didn't get the blending so good on this one did I!,:

Anything else?

Stickles glitter glue

So with the spring / summer holiday that MAWTT is taking I'm light on the old DT posts at the mo - maybe the lack of pressure will help me find my lost Mojo - I hope so!  

On the building front some slightly hopeful news - the builder is meeting here with the Building Inspector on Friday.  Hoping it helps the builder sort out any misgivings he has and hopefully we are back on track with building works.

I don't know if I've said as well that we've put in a second planning application for alterations to the garages. If that gets permission it will give hubby a very large hobby room over our two garages.  Hmmm, in that case he won't need the new room over the new kitchen.  A new bedroom then methinks - but who gets it!!!

So here's hoping you pop on over to MAWTT join in with our last challenge and I'll be back with my MAWTT hat on in October.

See you again soon,

Sarah

Still a cutie!

Good morning blogworld,

And how is everyone this fine Bank Holiday morning?  All well I hope.

Well I bet you weren't expecting to see me here today, were you!  Seeing as how all the building works aren't happening, I asked and was accepted back into the fold over at The Cutie Pies.  The lovely Woo has said that she doesn't mind me joining back in again, so that's just what I'm doing - joining in.

And with that here is my DT post for the new challenge.  For this fortnight the theme is

'1,2,3 a recipe'.  

So 1 of something, 2 of something and (yes you guessed it!) 3 of something.

Our Sponsor this time, with a $10 voucher, is the wonderful:

 And this is my card, where the 1 is the image, 2 are the embellishments (lace and Pearl Pen) and 3 are the papers.

Anything else?

There you go my return to The Cuties Pies is complete - in one way I hope the builder doesn't turn up soon, then I can carry on joining in!  Hope to see you over at The Cuties - it's a lovely recipe.

PS - I went to a craft fair in Lincoln yesterday and met up with two fabby bloggy friends - what a lovely change it was go to a craft fair where the people I went with wanted to be there!!  And it was lovely to finally meet Abi and Catherine in the flesh - next time I will make sure SHMbO has a longer time for a picnic and I can spend more time with you!

A challenge, maybe?

And again!

Hello blogworld,

Me again - getting to be quite like old times, isn't it ;-)

So this post is my DT card for the new challenge over at Moving along with the Times, it's the lovely Red's turn to host the challenge and this week the challenge she has chosen is 'Embossing' which can be either dry or wet embossing.

Our sponsor this week, with a lovely prize, is:

So this the card I came up with - I did toy with getting my heat gun and embossing powders out, but they are buried somewhere in a box somewhere in the dining / craft room and so I just played it safe and got out one of my favourite embossing folders.

Dies:

Papers:

Flowery paper - no idea, it's the final scrap from a very old 12x12

Anything else?

Dots and stripes embossing folder (not sure who by, another case of a lost packet!)

Craftwork Cards - sentiment

Thanks for popping by the old blogeroo and I do hope you go take a peek at my Teamies fab creations.

Finally, I got back to join in a challenge, or two?,

I love Promarkers: Anything Goes - I have used Copics for the pink, but everything else is Promakers.  Hope this is OK?  Please feel free to delete if not.
