Is It Shabby?...........

Good evening everyone out there in Blog sorry I haven't been around again but my chest was giving me a lot of problems last week and really knocked me off my feet.

Our Sponsor for this week is One Stop Card Crafts who are sadly closing down (blog unaffected) and this is the last weekend you will be able to visit. There is 50% off everything and discount is shown in basket.

I will be sorry to see this little shop go as it's due to coming to shop here I dared to enter on of their card comps and from there the rest is history as they say.

This card was made along with the last teenager card I posted a few weeks back not sure what sort of a teen she was so I thought ths was also a very good teen card, see what you think it's a Die cut sheet from Kanban. Everything but the card blank is over 6 months old so I may not remember where I got the stuff.

Main DP from Craftwork Cards

Teenager Card

Good morning World it's a brand new day.............. oops it seems I'm singing and why not the Sun has got his Hat on ....... there I go again :) I hope all is well with you all where ever you are.
My friend once described me as I'm like a bus (not in size) but blogging, nothing for a while then a few all at once so here comes the number 2. This card was made for a Teenager I originally made two but this is the one my friend chose.

This is a free stamp from a craft mag (and I got that half price), Ribbon from Mae, Pearls from Hobby House, Stripe paper is HOTP (I think) Leafy paper is a Dawn Bibby, MS punch, Blooms from Wilko they were part of a flower and I pulled some off the rest are in my Vase, Lace and bling from my stash.

Halloween @ OSCC

Good evening everyone and Spooky endings to those who par-take in the gruesome fun :) sorry I have not blogged for a while but have been smitten with a chest infection, which I worked with for 2 weeks due to holidays coming up and thought I could rest then WRONG. Friends wanted cards, Children needed sitting, Challenges needed to be met but Shelley from OSCC let me off last week I felt so poorly but like most cowboys you couldn't keep me down ha ha.

Now then enough of me going on I'm so excited 1. I actually finished a project I started about 5years ago and couldn't finish because it didn't fit anything I had on hand then Kenny K came along as this weeks Sponsor and that was it WHAM finished

2. Did I say Kenny was Sponsoring us? Did I say how excited I was?
Now for my long awaited project ( made with Toilet Roll sleeves) I have used so much stuff I do't think I could list it all but you may always ask.
The Images I used are Frankie, Mad Mummy,  Vikki Lee Vicious and Wanda Wicked
 I will warn you the picks go on a bit please try not to get bored.

This is where I am joining in the fun:

Happy retirement my friend.............

Hello all my friends out there in Blogland I just wanted to share this with you all as last week was my last one to work with my friend and colleague Linda she has put off retiring for a few months and decided enough is enough. I will miss her greatly as we had been together for 13 years with no cross words exchanged (now we sound married) and quite a few laughs she is the one of the few people I have really enjoyed working with, here is the lady in the middle.

and here is the mess I made making this card it had to be really special ............ so special I used my special Daisey D papers, your probably thinking why the fuss about the mess well I wasn't suppose to be in the craftroom yet!

now for the card which I think looks pretty good inside the small card is pictures of her beloved Donkeys that she loves.
