Travel with OSCC

Good evening to everyone in Blog-land from the UK, the weather has been very good again today but a little chilly. I hope you are all keeping well as I would like to invite you all to come join our Challenge over at OSCC the theme is TRAVEL the Girls have done some superb work & we even have a Special Guest designer Ethan aged 7, We also have 2 great Sponsors:

Here is my take on it although it isn't a card I started this ages ago when I took a class at my friend Tracy's shop Running With Scissors but I couldn't finish it because I wasn't sure about  the Journal on it so now it is still ALMOST finished I still have to do something with the little book. 
This was from a Holiday we took in Thailand 2009 we had a wonderful time & would love to go back we went on an Elephant Saffari and we also went to Tiger Temple, we visited a lot of Temples all which are very beautiful we also went to the Phuket Simon Star Show Ladyboy Show which I must say was brilliant.

This is where I am challenging them:

Bella Art

Hello everyone in blog land hope you have had a good week-end & the weather has been kind to you,we in the UK have had the odd shower or 2 some pore soles have been flooded &my heart goes out to them. I don't have a card to share with you today but I have been tinkering with stuff, see what you think.
The first is my little work of art I bought these little easels to stand my cards on & they come with a mini canvas, I stamped an image of Bella from the Wild Rose Studio's then I coloured her with my Promarkers, then I finished it off with a splash of Pink Stickles.

Also I have been having a go at doing the odd Shamballa bracelet, I still have one to finish off.

Coffee & Cream anyone..........

Hello everyone who visits me I hope the weather is being kind to you we have had some dodgy weather here lately & yes rain has stopped me getting a floor put in my craft room. I have been struggling to get my card colours right for the Challenge over at OSCC  all that is asked of you is too have fun & use the colour theme which is COFFEE and CREAM, our lovely Sponsor this week is

 

So here is my card I really hope you like it I didn't use the Sponsor image as I was trying to get in front so I hope this is ok.

For this car I used Embossed Mirri, Docrafts CD and Kanban Diecuts on an 8x8 card.

Class Card

Hello everyone in blog please don't think you're going a bit funny or that I'm copying Kate's card mine is slightly different AKA the punches and I have to say sorry Kate forgot the grass, and we had such a good class think maybe I should use the double sided to quieten me down :) not. So I would like to show off my version of it anyway thanks for the class Kate & I think I'm getting somewhere with my shading ta matey.

Canary love @ OSCC

I have had the best 2 weeks holiday at home even thought the weather wasn't always on my side it gave me a chance to put new door handles on, build a wardrobe, then when the sun came out I did some gardening.

God save the Queen

Hello all my fellow bloggers it's been a while since I last had something to blog about other than the house, I'm busy emptying boxes for the Kitchen & now my Darling is refilling them with shed stuff to get ready for our last project to date a Garage for him & a WORKSHOP for me....... (oops did I say that out loud ) . So today is my first day back with OSCC since the build on my house & I'm just pleased to get rid of the dust.

   One Stop Card Challenge

For us this is a Special 4 days in the Common Wealth as the Queen celebrates being on the throne for 60 years, I believe it was the Queen mum before her.
