Be Happy Every Day...

This is the sentiment I chose for the card I made for the Cupboard Trilogy This was their first challenge and was a colour palette thus :-

The idea was to use a minimum of 3 of these colours and I chose the Sage Green/Soft Coral/Warm Beige and Raspberry....Unfortunately the Sage Green has photographed more of a turquoise

The sketch I used was #170 from Card Patterns who have now ceased to be :(

One for the weekend...

Only managed to make the 1 card over the weekend as F1 was on and the tennis has now started so am finding it hard to tear myself away from the TV...bad girl!! Anyhooo this card was made for the Craft Cupboard Show & Tell group where we have to interpret another member's card from their album. This weekend it was Denize Halfpenny's turn and here is my take on her card. As usual my scanner has done a good job of chopping the right hand side off. I don't know which is worse my scanning or my photo taking..lol!
Items I used :-
Basic Grey paper 'Nook & Pantry'
SU butterfly punch
Sentiment stamp- Elzybells
White Ink pad- Sugar Candy by Elzybells
Card, lace,white emb. pdr and pearls from stash

I think this card would nicely fit the following challenge....
Challenge 35 'Things with wings' over at Dream Valley Challenges

Summertime.........

Still waiting for the real thing but whilst I wait here's a card I made today for a couple of challenges. This image is all about summer to me - in my younger years, my friend and I were always out and about on our bikes. I always wanted one with a basket too! This card is made for the challenge over atUnity Stamp Company Challenge
and also
 'I can do that Challenge' in the Craft Cupboard Show & Tell. so this was a take on Donna's card. Items Used :-
Unity Stamps
Versafine Ink
SU card
Misc. paper off scrap pile Misc. felt trimming and ribbon

Also please excuse blog layout as it is under reconstruction at the moment.

Let's Start Over.....

Let's see now if I can remember how to join in competitions.

This card is one I've made for a competition over at http://thecupboardtrilogychallenges.blogspot.co.uk
It's a song lyric challenge and the choice of the song is from the film Beaches
"The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler

The background was simply Tim Holtz distress inks smeared across glossy card :)

This post has taken me so long because I have had to completely change my Blog design to accommodate the new system!!!!

2 Days in a row....can't be bad!

Now let's see if I can continue from where I left off  a short while ago, which is to show you a little of what I've been making recently.

The first was a challenge to choose a card from another member of the little crafty community I belong to and to case it and the second is an ATC which I made for a challenge. where we had to use paint of some sort.  Then remembered that I have opted into an ATC swap on a crafting forum with the title of Queen's Jubilee.....aha!! you might say, and yes I will agree...it's wrong!! for it's her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee so gold definitely won't work..lol!..back to the drawing board for that one then.

So time marches on again, but I won't let it beat me!
Keep smiling :)

More than a year...................

.............since I last Blogged.
Yes! I'm still alive but maybe not so well.
I have been making cards, but not so many and because I haven't blogged I have not joined in any challenges, except on Facebook and a Crafting Forum where one can just post a pic without it being linked to a Blog. Is that any excuse I ask myself.
So Here are a few things I've been doing :-

Well I was able to upload 1 of them , don't know what froze it.
So there you are the story of my life....frozen in time.
Watch this space for more interesting......yawn!!!!....developments :-D
