Exam Results.

A nail biting day for many people as they find out

how they did in their exams!

I made this quick card for my next door neighbours

daughter Sophie who did brilliantly in hers :o)

Congratulations Sophie x x

Birthday Card

A quick card I've made for my soon to be mother in law.

It's her Birthday on Sunday and I almost forget! lol

It's going to be a slow summer.

Having no car is an absolute nightmare when you

live in a small village with no shop. It's funny how

you take a car so much for granted until it's gone!

I'm stuck in the house until it's fixed so I've been

doing housework! I know, I must be bored lol.

So once the house was spick and span I thought I'd

make a quick birthday card.

The 21 is embossed in black but you can't really see

it in the pic, not really had the light recently with the

pants weather to get a decent photo sadly. Really

hope we get some better weather soon :o)

For a challenge long ago..

Karin set us a challenge a while ago to make

a tag using a stamp we've not used before.

I only remembered this challenge when Kaz

blogged her tag pmsl (sorry Karin) so got to

work on making mine.

Background was made using acrylic paints

and dazzling metallics and both stamps are

ones I've not used before :o)

I'd say click on the image for a closer look but

it doesn't seem to want to work today lol

Autumn in Summer..

It's gorgeous weather outside, so I decided

to make an Autumnal canvas.. obviously lol

I'm not sure it's quite finished yet, it needs

something... maybe some words but I shall

leave it as it is for now :o)

Happy Birthday

to you.. Happy Birthday to you..

Happy Birthday dear Kaaaazzzz..

Happy Birthday to you!!

Sunny Weather and no housework..

It's been so beautiful here for the last week that I've

rather neglected my housework so today as it's dull

and drizzly I decided to tackle it all. I started by

making a cuppa, sitting down to contemplate

where to begin and ended up messing around

with digital images and photo's on the pc all

morning lol Ah well.. there's always tomorrow!!

The tree is a photo I took while we were in Scotland

at the beginning of May which I've messed around

with in PSP.. Needless to say it was a far nicer way

to spend my morning than doing HW :o)

Ballet Girl..

Seona set us another great challenge and

this time it was to alter and use this image

of a ballet girl. Thanks Seona for another

great challlenge :o)

Wednesday Stamper - Bella Italia

It's been so long since I last did a challenge so

I thought I'd get back in the saddle by

having a go at Wednesday Stamper this week.

The theme is 'Bella Italia' and here's my entry :o)

The image I've used is from freefoto.com and is

of the Trevi Fountain in Rome.

apologies for the photo's. just couldn't seem to get

a decent one today lol

Bits and Bobs...

Seona set us another great challenge to make anything

we liked with the bits and bobs she sent to us, including

some lovely papers lol

I decided to make a tag for this one, think I threw

everything but the kitchen sink at it lol but I'm

quite happy with how it turned out.

Matchbox

I can't believe this is my first post of 2009 and it's

March already! where's the start of the year gone?

We've all settled well into our new home and I'm

now hoping I'll get more time to craft, I really have

missed it!

I altered this matchbox for a challenge Seona set us back

in January. I'm only now blogging it as I lost the pics tut.

It's the first thing I'd made since well before christmas

and I really enjoyed getting my fingers inky again.
