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.

Now to tell you about the super challenge thats happening at OSCC it's Pink, Green and White on an easel card & the Sponsors for this week are Saturated Canary and Craft Obsessions.

So here's my card I hope you like it as much as I do which makes such a great change as I am my own worst enemy when it comes to my cards.

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.

God Save the Queen

So the challenge for this week is Red,White & Blue, also Diamonds & Crowns but the best bit is to have fun doing your project whatever it may be it doesn't have to be a card. The Sponsor for this week is ....

Looking Better

From this ...

To This ....

I'm just keeping everyone in the loop on the house it's looking better although I'm still not done inside yet & can't get to craft stuff yet ......................... but the dust sheets are off yipeeeeee. Hope to have a card or 2 to share with you all soon, I hope you all have a great Week-end.

I'm so slow....................

I'm so slow I should have posted this a while ago from a class I did with Kate at Grimsby Crafts a week last sat (it's the only way I get to see her these days), I'm nearly dust free ........... NOT. Painting to begin in the Extension Thurs, flooring being layed next week then that week-end hopefully I'll have my Kitchen units in but best of all I do my WASHING at home.

Inside

Pink Bassil base, Kanban roses, MS punch around the page, the sentiment is My Sentiment Exactly & a Marianne Design Image. Thank you all for looking.

Missing you ........................

Hello Everyone out there I hope you are all ok on this beautiful morning although they say it will rain by lunch, I'm sorry I haven't been around much but they say a picture speaks volumes I can only hear the whispers from my crafting stuff. This is the reason I'm not around at the moment & if anyone needs to contact me Kate from Downright Crafty & OSCC can get hold of me, sorry it's just a short blog today as I have just been able to get to my Computer.

Week 175@ OSCC

Good evening everyone near & far, I was looking at my counter at the bottom of my blog & was totally blown away by how many lovely visitors I'd had from so many different Countries then I started counting how many I had been to (not multiple visits to one place) and realised I'm not so well travelled as I counted it all on 2 hands. So on to why we all hop from one Blog to another and that would be to see what One Stop Craft Challenge (OSCC) well it's a lovely simple request and that is Clean & Simple which unless your like me & don't know when to stop is:-

Clean and Simple A design of card with clean lines, minimal elements, areas of white space and few or no embellishments.

Our lovely Sponsor for this week is       Phindy's Place

So why not pop over to check out the lovely Prise and to see what everyone else has made the girls have been working really hard, this is my card I hope you like it.

This is another easy card made with the free papers I got with a crafting Mag last month & yes they are still in the shops in the UK (Simply Cards & Papercraft) the papers are Webster's Pages I think it's called Western Romance & all About Me. All I have added to this card are a few gems, ribbon, glitter card & some Lacey stuff I bought to wrap around candles.
