FAB DAY




I've had a lovely day, to start with my Hubby made me a new shelf unit , AND put 2 extra shelves in the crafty cupboard . I'm keeping him busy while we are both off work this week...Then my friend Elaine came for lunch and we had a great afternoon going through my stash and messing about on the computer, a few sandwiches cakes and bickies were also consumed while we played with my Copic pens. Elaine loved these and my shelf unit so poor Ronald ( Elaine's hubby) is going to get his ear bitten for all that extra wood out in the garage to be turned into something usefull...lol and don't forget the Copics Ron......
Picture of the shelf unit, I just put on a few of my fav stamps that I use the rest are still occupying the draws...( soon to be moved I might add to make way for other goodies) ......



===================================================


And then I discovered I've been given an award from Natalie over on http://www.ngcards.blogspot.com/. I was really chuffed and very surprised thanks Natalie. Why not take a look at her creations they are really gorgeous.......
I'm passing this award on to five other people who's creations and blogs have in some way inspired me, thank you all and I apologise if you already have this..... but hey! it's nice to get it again from someone else.



Crafty day today

Today my friend Elaine has come over for lunch and we are messing about on the computer so if you see odd thingies appearing on here don't worry they are only temporary, you may see some cards later, if we get the time. bye for now.

OOOPS!!! MORE PASTEL....


Just couldn't resist it I coloured the image with Copic pens...can't stop using them... I left the circle empty for an age. Thanks for looking


Out of my comfort zone


Hi there, its Monday and I'm off work this week.!!! So as you can see I've made a card thismorning, it's a bit unusual for me and out of my comfort zone as far as colour goes. Normaly I go for pastels but I decided after the green card the other day that I should do something different. I used my HOTP papers that I've had for ages....and a bit of braid that I found the other day I wrapped a piece of brown organza ribbon round it. Flower and charm are from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by.

NOT PINK......


Happy Saturday to you !! This card is for my son's friend's mother. It had to be green, that was all he said.... so I added a touch of yellow in the flower to give another accent to the green and finished it with gold mirri card and gold peel offs. I've had this green card for ages and never used it before but I quite like this card and it's a change from PINK. I seem to be doing a lot of PINK lately.....Have a nice weekend and thanks for popping in.
