Might Post, Might Not!!

Hi All,

Might be able to post tomorrow or Might not!!
It all depends on if I get all my jobs done + work before I watch ENGLAND PLAY FOOTIE. Oh I am getting abit worried after the Frogs (I mean French) team had such a horror tonight. All I can do is prey to the Football Angel when I go off to bed tonight.

If I get a chance I will of cause post a project.

Tonight I would like to share with you all a Scrapbook Page of my two children Eve and Matthew. It's rare these days to get a photo of them together, they both have such seperate interests.
Unfortunatly the David Bailey in me was "awal" again for these dire pictures, this is supposed to be black/white and grey, but I am not sure what colour you would call it once I got my camera out!!!

Back in April it was my Mother-in-Law's 70th Birthday and this photo was taken at her party. My daughter had a colour copy printed for my mum (it was her Birthday on Tuesday gone) and then gave me the B&W copy.
I love to Scrapbook B&W photo's, they are just so atmospheric. I was really pleased to be able to do this page of the children and hope you all like it.

Gift Bag with Card To Match~

Hi All~

Those of you who know me will know I LOVE LOVE the World Cup...HOWEVER...The Voovoozilla's (no idea if that's how it's spelt!) Are giving me a headache, not that it has stopped me watching, but every now and then you can hear me shout..Please give it a rest, or something similar (if you know what I mean!!)

Anyway waffling over, down to the business of cardmaking~

Todays' card (well I say card, but actually it's a card and a gift bag), so on todays PROJECT, I have chosen the new GG stamp I bought last weekend, isn't she adorable? I bought three of these stamps, but this one with the little bird is proberbly my favorite.
I chose the sketch from The Sugar Bowl, and then had a dilema...How was I going to cut out a perfect Octogan without the help of the brilliant Nestabilities?
Then I remembered my favorite piece of crafting kit....My Cricut, she will cut it for me and then will cut a shadow too....job done.
The papers used are K&Co, and because I followed the Crazy for Challenges challenge, I have used Pink, Purple and Green.
GG is coloured with Pro-Markers and the border punch was my new Anna Griffin punch, very delicate. Ribbon and gems are from my stash.
The other challenges I would like to enter this card for are listed below:

The Sugar Bowl
Crazy For Challenges
Charisma Cardz Challenge
The Creative Cottage

Thank you to my lovely blog friend Fluff for helping me to do the challenge addresses properly on my posts, hope you are pleased with me Faye, I did it!!

Cute Boy!

Hi All~

I know I am a pain staying away from blogland, but the footie is so important isn't it? I said isn't it?

Oh dear, I know alot of you hate it, so no more footie talk today~

Today's card has an image of the Cute Edward from Greeting Farm, he is so sweet and cheeky. I have chosen the lovely sketch from Pro-Markers, he is also coloured in with these pens too. These lovely papers are new, but I cannot remember if they were called something like Hamstead, or something like that??
The ice cream colours are for the Papertake challenge.
I have entered this card into the following challenges:

Laughter we all need it~

Hi All,

Sorry I am being a bit rubbish at posting, but as most of you know, I am a World Cup Nutter and cannot stand to miss a match (although I could have done with missing ours against the Yanks last night, pretty poor!!)
Anyway I am glad to post a card this evening (before the next match at 7.30)

I thought I might have a go at making a card without an actual cute image on...
A bit hard for me, but I was fairly pleased with the outcome and have an idea of who this is going to be sent to.
I have used some Bo Bunny papers, Nestie shapes, WRMK rub on's, and the lovely punch border was done with my brand new MS punch...Postman was very discrete when he brought the punch for me, he was looking over my shoulder to give me the heads up if he saw my hubby coming..I was almost crying laughing.
He then said "I have got to go to your mates in a mo with her post", (this is my best friend Angie who lives four doors away from me), He then said " Mind you I am taking her three parcels!!!
Angie phoned me later on and said, that he said "I think I have upset your mate telling her you have more post than her"!!
Honestly I thought I was the only nutter round here, but I am not!!

Back to the card, I have entered into a few challenges, details below:

No card posting, just a show and tell~

Hi All~

Sorry, but not had time to do anything remotely crafty today (due to the start of the World Cup, which I LOVE), and as I am out eating and drinking tonight, will not get round to posting anything until there is a gap in the footie....Sorry, I know I am not at all girly am I?.....

I thought it might be nice to quickly show you the Noteletts I have made for my Mother-In-Law.
I make her a set about once every three months, last set was for her Birthday back in April. I made these the day before yesterday and she has them already.
Hope you like them. I tried to make them distressed with Tim Holtz inks, and I did each one a different colour.
One set is Flowers and the other Travel, she writes so many letters that she is just glad to get them no matter what the subject matter is, I try to change them for her too, the ones for her Birthday were all tree's.

Anyone 4 Anya~

Hi All,

Sorry for the atrocious photo, I am no David Bailey, sometimes I get it right and other times it looks like this!!

Second posting of the evening, It looks like I never do anything else accept Blogging, but I do honest!!
I love Anya and have wanted to do another easle card for ages.

I have used a sheet of Basic Grey cardstock called Kioshi, it's lovely because its patterned one side and flowers the other, but with the same background, that makes it perfect for an easle card. This is purple, not my favorite colour, but I don't mind it. I have made flowers from the same paper using a NS punch, and made them shiny with Glossy accents, I have cut leaves with another NS punch, and put gems in the middle.
The Anya image and the matting are cut on the Nestabilities,, I like this oval, but wish I had the scalloped edge one too, will have to have a treat and get it!!
I have entered into a few challenges that require flowers and of cause Anyone for Anya. All details below:

Enjoy the Moment~

Hi All~

Hope you are all having as good a day as I am.
This morning I read I had won my second ever challenge over at Craft Challenge. I was really pleased and won for my newspaper flowers on a Scrapbook page, thank you to Craft Challenge~

I don't work on a Thursday, so it's jobs and shop day, I have had a good look around the shops today, although I did not have any treats...Hubby will be happy about that one!!
Mind you he has no idea I had a spend on QVC yesterday and today..Oh No!
Just hope the postman is discreet tomorrow!!

Anyway this afternoon I have managed to make a card for a couple of challenges.
I love these images by Lili of the Valley, they are not the stamps, they are the toppers, but I still think they are lovely, hope you do. This one of the girl and the horse is a favorite of mine, and think any little girl would love this image on a Birthday card.
I have entered this card for the Lili of the Valley challenge, and the Chaisma Card Challenge, Fab n' Funky and Crafty Creations. All deatails below:
