Hi everyone, finally had a morning making my card, but if it could go wrong it did.  Finally after throwing things away and screaming I made this card.  The paper with the ribbon attached has been in my cupboard for about two years, I opened the pack on buying and then put it away now I have no idea what company it is from. The image was from a set of stamps I had from a magazine which I had not got around to using, I think it was Quick Cards Magazine and they were designed by Beth Gunnell.

21 and a bit again

Well finally back.  What a week, what with my little grandson (8 months) wearing us out with a vomiting bug  and then my daughter down with the same thing I am not sure which way is up.  

I made this card for a lady on her 80th birthday and of course I was way behind as usual.  Each year I write out my New Year resolutions, they always include take better care of your nails, get organize for events which need a card and present and clear out the loft.  The nails are still not looked after enough, the loft is so full you actually can't move and you know the situation on the cards and presents.

This card was made using the following:

DCVW Pocket full of Posies

Marianne die
Spellbinders die

Childhood Memories

Hello everyone,  my hand  feels a little better now and I am hoping it will be okay, I think keeping it straped and trying to protect it for a few days has made the difference.

I hope everyone is enjoying our few days of sunshine.  I have managed to get quite a lot of washing done, nothing like be able to dry your washing outside. 

My latest card is featuring a Lili of the Valley image, all their images are just lovely.   I must buy myself at least one of the little boys playing with their toys, these remind me of my childhood when everything was different.  In those days you would be sent off for the day, no one worried about health and safety and I can never remember anyone getting hurt except for the odd skinned knee.  We would all dash off on our bikes which were frequently made up of old bikes put together, I remember mine was an old frame found on waste land near where I lived in Tilbury (local dumping ground for things people didn't want) and then we picked up various wheels etc, painted them in what ever colours we could find at home and the only expense was new tyres and brakes.  Mine was a drop handle bike and I would go tearing off with several of my siblings and friends.  I was one of eight children so there was always someone to go with.

We would take bottles of water and jam sandwiches and that was us set for the day.  We would often go to the moat which surrounds Tilbury Fort and swim in that, of course there were signs saying "No Swimming" but no one took any notice and the place was packed on warm days.  You could meet all your friends and have a lovely day out for nothing.  Now it is completely cut off and you can no longer go and sit by the water and eat sandwiches or jump in if you feel like it.   I suppose if you pay to go in you can have your sandwiches there, but as a child it was fun and I have some great pictures of people sitting there by the moat.  I remember the hand knitted swimsuit episode which was disastrous, once in the water and it would be down by your knees.

Anyway, back to the present.

For this card I have used:

Lili of the Valley image

Promarkers

Cherry Lynn corner die

Crafts Too square die

Orange card from stash from Papermill

Printed card from DCWV called "Pocket full of Posies"

Flowers from stash which I distressed slightly with Whispers "Straw Matt" ink pad

Good news and bad

Lets start with the good news.  I would like to say Hi to my new follower and a BIG THANK YOU to Pam for doing a Blog Candy which I was lucky enough to win.  I was so surprised to actually win something.  My daughter had been looking at Pam's blog and catching up and what was happening and said that I had won and I thought she was joking.   I was especially pleased to have won the Grand Nestablities, my daughter had given me a Grand Calibur and two Edgeabilities  for my birthday at the end of last year and  I have been using it for all my nesties but didn't have any other large ones, so thank you again Pam for such a super candy.

Bad news is that I may be visiting the Doctor again, last month it was with a ruptured leg muscle and now I have the feeling that the pain in my right hand (of course I am right handed) may be tendonitis.  I will see how it goes today and if it is still giving me pain I will have to make a visit to see him.

I have a few packs of cards that are 5 by 7 and quite honestly I find them difficult to actually use, I never seem to be find that my layouts look good.  But I decided last night that I would try and use at least one of them.   This is what I produced, not sure about it now, but as I have been about a week without posting anything - I was getting withdrawal symptoms.

For this card I used the following:
Red card from stash
Pattern card from DCWV Nana's Kitchen Stash
Spellbinders Classic Ric Rac Edgeabilities die and Labels Two Nestabilites
Ribbon was from a box of blank cards which I couldn't throw away
Pearls from stash

The Nana's Kitchen Stash has a lot of embossed sheets the sheets I used for the flowers was both an embossed sheet and a matt sheet.

Wild Thing

My card of the day, is for a child and the image comes from Woodware.  I find their images always stamp out beautifully.  

I love this backing paper which comes from DCWV and is called "All About Boys", it has some lovely papers in the pack including, comic heroes, pirates, cowboys, robots, circus and wild animals.  Beautiful papers if you are a scrapbooker, you could produce some lovely pages.

I used the following for this card:

Woodware stamps
Promarkers
Giraffe highlighted with glossy accents
Card Candy
Brown card from Papermill
Patterned paper from DCWV called All about Boys
