oh no



Juat when i thought i had made my last christmas card i was asked to make some more.1.000 red roses later and another trip to hobby craft to buy some more.wish there was  craft shops where i live,I have pleaded with the likes of the papermill shop to open one up and they said they would look in to it for me thats as far as they went.
The good news is from the sales of my cards this weekend i was able to buy at las,t a big shot have been using my ever faithful sizzix but its too small and i get fed up of tying to adapt all the dies to fit it.Did any one see that at the end of this month begining of next they have brought a new one out called the pro shot its so big but its 215.00 pound.


Here is my last card for this year .off now to find some challenges to enter.
I have so missed them the last few months.

my love for vintage cards

Seems like ages since i was in the land of blog with all my friends.Things have finally settled down again maybe only for a couple of days but thats good for our house.

Its been a while


Im so sorry i have been a bad blogger.Thought id have a good play last week while my little chap was away but best plans and all that,i lost my drive and just moped around nursing my aching heart.He came back with a new sentance discoved it whist i was taking his beaker off him, as he was doing the usual spitting his drink on the floor routine,so he could play puddles and said "what did you do that for."stunned and trying not to laugh as it was the first question he had ever asked me, i said because you will get wet.Im still chuckling to my self he has just turned 2.
anyway on to a few cards i made over the last few days i thought you may like to see them.





cor lots to show you once again my cameras not doing a very good job on picking up the right colours.
thank you for stopping by today.

Papertake weekly challenge 22


Here is my card for this weeks


I realy enjoyed making this one although after i had stuck all my Papers down i whished i had destressed the edges on the outer background paper and the strip of flower paper down the side.
But you can go on forever and i didnt want to spoil it.
I 3d the wings and every thing apart from the flower has been made from my collection of vintage images.
I hope you like.

I thought id best make a card.


Good evening xx
Ive had a day playing today and have made 2 cards.I felt so guilty though as i was having a lovely timeusing my copics and sewing machine,as you do.Why dont men understand this.

I was abit stuck on where to start so as usual i hoped over to find some challenges,and instantly knew i just had to do this one.I had so many ideas in my head it was over flowing but time was moving faster than i was again so i made this one.

Im not happy about the pictures once again.My cameras not very good at picking up the rich colour and the detail in the stiching around the card.
I will try again tomorrow .
I never entered this car in to the challange as i didnt think it met the requirements but thought id share it with you.
