Had a lovely day on Monday visiting my Dad - nice to catch up, then on Tuesday I did abit of crafting and a little housework as I have a couple of people coming to view the house this week. Fingers crossesd. Forgot what a nightmare it is making sure everything is tidy and in its rightful place.I like a tidy house but this is too far......See you all soon.

New Home - New Funky Hand goodies

Hi all,

Must make this a quick post as it's been quite a day.  First things first - how inspiring is the new funkyhand download 'Just for Jen' and digital stamps. 

They are amazing......... I got them last week and wow the ideas just kept on coming. Beautiful colour scheme in aid of a fellow funkette who has had her own struggles with breast cancer that we wanted to do something in her honour. She's a real fighter and is soldiering on.  So all our love and best wishes to her and her family.

The download colour scheme is inspired by the colours for Breast Cancer Awareness, pinks and greys. It's £3.19 - I know a bargain!!!! When a  purchase of the download is made a donation is given to help to aid more research.  So dig deep everyone - it's for a fabulous cause. 'Just for Jen' is released with 4 new digital stamps so click on the link above to see what the rest of the teamies have created.  You will not be disappointed.

Here is my first make:

I used the above download, New funkyhand digital stamps-Number Two Tree Stump Lane, Where the Faeries Live digi(so cute) coloured with promarkers, distress ink background, pan pastel background on the card. Typed sentiment, card candi and ribbon.

Challenges:
Papertake weekly - tie-up-your-loose-ends(ribbon)
The squirrel and the fox challenge-36-something-new(new home digi stamp, new papers)
i love promarkers challenge-152-anything-goes
promarker challenge week-182-favourite colour combo (pink & grey)

Hope you like my first card.  There will be more being shown this week.  Will catch up with you all soon.

Family banner card

Hi there,

So how is everyone?  All okay here in snowy East Yorkshire. Met up with some friends on Friday at a M.E. group meeting. Nice to catch up with our group and some from other groups.  Tiring day.

Also prepared for someone to come and view our house yesterday at 11. All organised and tidy to no avail - they didn't turn up - not a happy bunny.People eh how rude - just a phonecall to cancel would have been nice but hey ho that's life.

Decided that it would not be a total waste of time and had a play in the craft room.Here's my card:

I used Polkadoodle cdroms - Picknix and Sundae of seasons for papers, the letter flags, cross-stitch hearts and altered some bits on my free Serif programme. I also inked the edges of the letter banner, die cut some flowers and leaves from Marianne designs dies -LR0226 & english rose and added a lace bow, decorative pins, twine and buttons.

Challenges:
Polkadoodle week-3-stitching-real-or-faux-and-lace

Cake!!!!!!

Hi everyone,

Welcome to more new followers - bless you for joining me.  As the title says CAKE - that's exactly what my card shouts out.  Trying hard to support my lovely daughter as she's joined Slimming World and is really commited so I'm cooking meals in line with it for it and it's a fab way of eating healthily.  Its really made me cook different meals and wow they are tasty.Trouble is I get the nibbles at night so have been dying for some chocolate or cake.  Will have a little treat tonight I think.  Anyway enough about FOOD... here's my card:

I used: my Serif to import the letters,cake images(from Picknix 1 cdrom), as well as the fab free Emma Canning digi(coloured with promarkers). Sentiment from Polkadoodles 'Pretty Sweet' cdrom and used a doily die around it, Darice die for the bottom of the card, free card candi and bow from a present I received. To finish I used my tattered rose distress ink to frame the card edge.

Hope you're all staying cosy in this snowy weather.We had abit of snow yesterday, I got my car to the garage for a safety check up in the morning before the snow arrived thank goodness. Shannen came with me to give me a hand and to spend a bit of time together. A bit of shopping was involved - nothing exciting for me though just toiletries and make up.Shan treated herself and why not. Well that's it for now.
I came 1st in the last Polkadoodles challenge and won a download so that finished my day off nicely. Thank you to Nikky and the team. Been crafting today and taking things easy. Have a great weekend.
