3 in 1 Challenge Card ...

Cor blimey, i've not managed one of these in a while ... a 3 in 1! I've completed Papertake Weekly Challenge which is "Shoe Time" So anything shoe-ey goes ... i.e. a shoe shaped card, an image, a shoe sentiment, anything at all. Colour Create #19 "Blush Pink, Lilac and Mossy Green" and for the extra option ... use die cuts on your card or project (and these can be cut with a machine or precut in a sheet). And lastly Willow Sketchie Challenge 11th June 09 ... this weeks sketchie has been supplied by Zoe.
Absolutely loved this sketch and will be definitely one that i shall use again ... although i say that and most of the time never end up doing so, cos i find yet another sketch that i like and end up making a card with that one instead!

CS ~ Stash
DP's ~ Free download called Daydream

Image ~ Sketching Stamper Digi-stamp, coloured with Whisper Strokes and blinged with glitter within an inch of its life!

Glitter ~ Stash

Gems ~ Anita's from Reams

Sentiment ~ PC Generated

Stitching ~ Sewing Machine

Lacey Stuff ~ RAK from Diane

Decorated the inside with more of the same paper ... only cos this one was originally the piece i'd printed out for the front and then decided i didn't like the wording i'd put along the bottom whilst playing in Paint Shop Pro ... dont think i'm ever gonna get the hang of that program! I used another image that i printed out smaller and coloured in, but this time instead of using the glitter i used my Sakura Stardust Pens. The flower was from a RAK i recieved from the lovely Diane, i dunno what i'm gonna do when they run out!

So, on to the Beth update .... she arrived home last night at dead on curfew time {claps} and toddles of upstairs to my sister to ask her how she had done at WW. This is sooo funny .... she says to my sis "what did you lose at fat club?" ... sis replies "Weight" ... Beth sits down on the bed! Sis says "what you doing" ... Beth says "waiting for you to tell me how you did at fat club!" ROFLMAO!!!! classic! She managed to get up for work and went off in her little car ... no further updates as yet cos she'll only just've finished her second job as a waitress that she does on a Thursday evening after working at nursery and all day on a Sunday. It tops up her pitiful apprenticeship wages of £85 per week! .... to be continued .....

I used more papers and a smaller digi-image for the inside.

Ooooh and before i forget ... the water feature update .... i phoned the council at lunch yesterday (12.06pm) and was told that all the customer services advisors were busy on other calls and that as soon as one was available they would ring back as a matter of urgency!!! An hour later i'd still not heard anything, so i reported the repair online .... whooo, get me! By 3.30pm i'd still not heard anything so i rang again. I was told that the repair had been logged and that the inspector would be out to look at it tomorrow (as in today) I asked her if she knew when tomorrow and she replied "Tomorrow!" See how helpful they are?! I still have a water feature and am wondering if its left long enough if perhaps we're gonna end up with a swimming pool down there lol!
