Missing in action

Hi Everyone,

Well not so much missing in action just missing really......

Never enough hours in the day to do all you want to is there ??

I needed to make a thinking of you card for a friend as his wife has sadly died.

I used river rock cs and ink and very vanilla.Made an oval template and sponged river rock ink into this. I then used close to cocoa ink to stamp the fern images.Inside the oval I used the second impression and then first impression on the right side.

I used the word windo punch to punch the words out and then the modern label punch to layer it onto.

I am making good headway into my christmas cards.

I decided this year to choose 10 designs and make 10 of each of them.

I will show them here when finished.

I aim to have them done by end of september, am up to 40 so far so heres hoping !!!

Bye for now

Missing in action

Thats how I feel at the moment....LOL.....if never rains what it pours.....we have had no heat or water a few weeks back and it took ages to sort it out......

We had a chemical flush done on the system.....that took all day and there were pipes everywhere and a big machine and the MUCK that came out was awful it was like thick black tar.....quite fascinating to watch it all mind.....This is what took over my whole landing for the day...!!

Once done we had heat and water...lovely....now we have developed a leak in the imersion tank in the airing cupboard....thats going into the header tank in the loft and dripping outside the house...so now the tank has to be replaced !!!

Then later this year we have to have a new boiler....so all my time has been taken up with sorting this out...and doing our bedroom...which we started before all this happened....otherwise we would have left it BUT now its started we have to see it through...so it seems the whole house is affected as bits are moved here and there.....oh boy it will be nice when finished but what a hassle....

Bye for now

Birdie BD card

This is a card I made for my friends 50th birthday.

I used choc chip, certainly celery and more mustard.

I didnt want to make reference to the age on the front, so inside I wrote... "Sending 50 tweet tweets your way" !!

Bye for now

A little birdie !!

This is the inside of the card.I used a strip of the same DSP then a label punch circle punch and oal punch in the co-ordinating colours.

I have seen this decorating inside cards on a lot of blogs lately...it carries the theme on through.

Bye for now
