oh no that pink has to go...

Good morning everyone I hope your all well...well I managed to make a card but then where to photograph it, isn't it strange that you have a certain place your used to doing something but then finding a new one with the same light etc is really hard...ok one of the shelves in my new craft room would be perfect so I took them, then when I was doing this post I realised...oh no that pink on the walls so has to go, it has washed all the colours out of my image and given it a strange dirty look...never mind we live and learn don't we lol...I got my paint for the bathroom yesterday, I chose Olive Green but think that blue may need a coat of white before I even attempt it...we also needed a new toilet seat not glamorous but essential when the other is a bit icky...the young fellow in the shop got the one I wanted really huge box and heavy, would I like a bag he asked...no thanks says I...are you sure your ok carrying that to your car without a bag...then it just dawned on me the lovely young man thought I would be embarrassed carrying a toilet seat bless him...its ok I said I have long ago got past the age a toilet seat in public would worry me, well not unless I was sitting on it at the time anyway...he liked that lol...right now onto my weird coloured card for today, how super cute is this little fellow from Mo's Digital Pencil...hes called Fall Fairy Jesen...I coloured him with my distress inks and used some of this lush new pad called Studio Calico 6x6 Paper Pad - Heyday, its from Bunny Zoe's Crafts and I love that lush orange number paper don't you...I finished with a fab orange bow and pumpkin charm and a ceramic sentiment from my stash...the lush sketch is from The Sweet Stop challenge and I'm also entering it for the Simon Says Stamp challenge and Party Time Tuesday challenge too...well I'm not back in full swing with crafting yet but I will do my best so will be back tomorrow as usual...I'm off to fill holes in my bathroom wall before my first coat of paint...oh a quick question has anyone seen any of those lush flowered towels like Cath Kidson's but without the price tag, I refuse to pay a fortune for something to wipe my face on lol...whatever your up to today have a brilliant one, oh and if you see anyone carrying a toilet seat just ignore them lol

Good morning everyone I hope your all having a sunny happy week...oh er that title sounds a bit rude doesn't it I just noticed lol...I'm so sorry if I upset some of you yesterday telling you my cards had been binned, I promise I wont do that again and I will find somewhere for them to go and you never know when all the moves over and the next two weddings (phew I'm tired just thinking of them lol) I might even get some sold to subsidise my crafting, that would be fantastic wouldn't it...I did a bit more clearing yesterday and then went out to lunch with my lovely Dad he had an appointment in the morning to get his eyes checked to make sure they are healing ok, the optometrist said his vision is excellent and he may not even need reading glasses, wow isn't medical science amazing...its astounding what they can do isn't it, changing peoples lives in just a few short hours...whatever they are paid I don't think it can be anywhere near enough...he has a real sparkle in his blue eyes now and is still gobsmacked at how much he can see...what gob smacks me is I was driving around with him when he couldn't see 'gulp'...anyway enough waffle onto my card for today which is for all you rubber stamp lovers...Bunny Zoe's Crafts have a Pre order from Little Darlings for the new Saturated Canary stamps...this little stunner is Saturated Canary - Circus Trixie isn't she gorgeous I love the way Krista does eyes don't you, they just leap of the pages at you...I coloured her with my usual distress inks and used some papers from a brand new range called Studio Calico and this is from the Studio Calico 6x6 Paper Pad - Heyday pad, lush aren't they, such beautifully soft colours...I distressed some of the papers with tattered rose distress ink too and finished with a stamped sentiment, a huge white satin bow and a few of the roses cut from the papers...isn't this sketch lush its from the CLP Challenge and I'm also entering this for the Anything Goes Challenge and the Simon Says Stamp challenge too...I'm off out to the supermarket with my Dad today then hes coming for dinner...seafood pasta night its one of my specialities (mind I don't have many lol)...whatever your up to today I hope you have a wonderfully sunny one
