Hello fellow stampers,

Here is another shabby chic window. Well, I reckon it looks like shabby chic!

I used my big bite for the very first time with this card.(Lucky girl I am, received it for my birthday from Cheryll, Grace and Jackie!!!!) A little bit of a learning curve involved and I was very tentative because I just didn't know how much pressure I would need to follow it through. Luckily, you don't need too much, so I am away with it!!!!

The background on the red part of the card was not achieved by the use of stamps. I do have texture stamps, but since I was crimping anyway, I crimped a piece of card and then used it as my stamp. (Read....Too lazy to get out of my chair to get texture stamp!)

Now off to watch the tennis and do some more creating...hopefully!

Sweet Valentine

Good afternoon all,

I began by thinking I would do the Mojo Monday challenge....but as you see, I ended up with rectangular everything and not square everything.

I failed my mission. ROFL! I really wanted to do the Mojo thing...but once started with this I just went with it. It took an age to find a nice complementary pad for the image, but am pleased with the Brilliance. Don't know why I didn't look there first!

Have to go retrieve the hubby from hospital tomorrow. I have enjoyed being by myself for the week. (Please don't think I am horrible... The precious personal time between going to town and having only to answer to myself has been totally different but marvellous!) I don't think I have ever been by myself for that length of time, making for an interesting experience. It will be good to have him home, finally...I hope! I have this niggling suspicion that being a man, he is not going to be the best of invalids!
