still waiting

Well blogger is still playing silly beggars but allegedly they are trying to sort it out, wish they'd get on with it as I have loads to blog.

Invalid response

Well I would blog but Blogger is playing silly beggars and I can't upload photos just now, not sure why will have to have a think.
It says that the server is returning an invalid response so if anyone can help please do.

Back so soon?!

I didn't want the tumbleweed to start growing again so thought I would make an effort to post

Here's the card I made for my brother-in-law back in April. It uses a decoupage image from the Hot Diggity Dog range by Papermania, papers are from the same range and card is off the shelves.
The twine is Jillibean Soup andthe base card is Carftwork Cards.

Thank you for looking and for any comments which you are kind enough to take the time to leave

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well it's been months since I blogged so I hope this post didn't give anyone too much of a shock.

This is a card which I made for my great nephew back in April, he loves dinosaurs so this digistamp was perfect and luckily I had the Basic Grey Archaic papers to go with it..

Unfortunately I can't remember where the digi stamp came from, memory not so good these days, must be why I keep forgetting to blog.

Thank you for visiting and I'll try not to leave it so long next time.

Showing a feminine side

Here's a card for my colleague Mark who has a birthday today and requested a pink card.

The Little Claires club stamp was perfect for the job and is simply coloured with Promarkers and the definition sentiment of funny, kind and exasperating probably describes the recipient perfectly.

Thank you as always for looking

...and now for something completely different

Here's a necklace and bracelet which I made for my sister-in-law for Christmas, it was from a kit from Bedazzle beads which was just to make the eyepin necklace but I added another clasp and got a bracelet out of it too so even better value.
